Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

Ding!

[You completed the [Emergency Quest]: [Save the Baby Sister Robot!]

[Well done! Not only were you able to figure out what was wrong with her, but with the help of Nephilim, you were able to not only repair her but leave her like new! And as if that wasn't enough for you, you even cleansed and repaired the other Robots. Despite your differences, and them being non-organic beings. You still see within them the soul of a person.]

[You acquired the following Completion Rewards: [5.000.000 EXP] [Skill Fusion Ticket (A+ Grade)] x1 [Muscle Strengthening Herb (B+ Grade)] x10 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (B+ Grade)] x10]

Wait, huh? Looks like I simply ignored yet another quest. I did tell Alice to not bother me with System notifications whenever I am fully immersed doing something important. So I guess the Quest Triggered while we were helping the Robot. Though, now that I got some time for myself, it popped up as completed.

It has been a while since I got those Muscle Strengthening Potions though! They're good materials to create physique-boosting elixirs. I should probably plant them inside the Dungeon's Farm as well.

Anyways, I got some Skill Proficiency Potions and… A Skill Fusion Ticket?!

Now that's new! I don't remember ever seeing that before. And I had never considered the possibility of combining Skills before.

But I am beginning to have a lot of them, so I guess fusing them over might be something that could come as normal, now that I think about it.

Let's see…

[Skill Fusion Ticket (A+ Grade)]

A Special System Ticket created by the System through the materialization of causality, created through the changing of the world or a large group of people's fates.

Allows the combination of up to three Skills together. The resulting Fusion Skill will be powerful, but it is not guaranteed that it will carry over the ingredient Skills effects on its totality and might become something completely different compared to them.

Once used, the combined skills won't be able to revert back, but they will be able to reach max level and then further obtain skills based on its Skill Tree.

Interesting, I can fuse up to three Skills! But it's… like there's no limit or restrictions at all! This is a hard decision to take. I might have to think it through for some time before using the ticket, unfortunately.

However, things weren't done yet.

Ding!

[A Special [Challenge Quest] has been generated: [Defeat the Evil Scrap King and Rescue the Robots and Slimes It has Kidnaped!]

[You have now learned the truth of these underground lands, and the reason why there are so few robots now, despite there being hundred before. The Scrap King, a monster born from the scrap left by dead robots, is a monstrous entity that only desires to destroy the Guardian Tree, and it has now decided to kidnap most of the remaining Robots and Slimes and use them to gain more power by forcing them to generate energy for its growth!]

[After a request from the last robot family, you've been tasked with slaying the robotic menace that threatens the lives of the last robots of this world. Will you slay the Scrap King, or will you decide to leave this to the robot's own fate?]

[Completion Rewards: [EXP] [Cultivation Items] [???] [???]

[Time Limit: 12 Hours.]

A fitting quest for a small, yet epic little adventure. We better get this done with quickly before our family finds us. We wouldn't want to ask them for help, right?

"Looks like I got a quest." I told Aquarina. "We're doing this for real then. I wonder how strong that Scrap King is though. The Robots and the Slimes… It's not like they're hard to hunt."

"Indeed…" Pyuku sighed. "It pains me to admit it, but my kin are not strong. And the robots didn't seem strong either, aside from that gun they gave to you."

"Well, they mostly seemed like service-type robots." Said Nephilim. "The most common of them. There are fighting and warrior-types, the ones that were guarding the area where I was left sealed, for example."

"Ah, those monstrously strong ones that almost beat me, who were all made of Orichalcum, right?" I asked her.

"Indeed." She nodded. "However, within my still awakening data bank, I have never registered the existence of these "Scrap Beasts", so they must be unique of this world. Perhaps born from the Mana Contaminating the remains of dead robots."

"Yeah, that's what they said. While the Guardian Tree was also born that way, but became their protector, the Scrap King was the reverse, a monster born from the robot's scrap and their corrupted energies." Said Aquarina. "Hmm, but why does it want to destroy that tree so badly?"

"Perhaps it simply wants to go back to it? To become one with it…" Pyuku said. "Think about it. If the tree was born from their combined crystalized cores, and the scrap king from their bodies fused together…"

"That's an interesting theory but doing so would probably destroy all the "data" stored inside of the tree, therefore killing all the robots who were stored there and also destroying their connected network, which is what's helping them further evolve and becoming more sentient." Nephilim sighed. "We can't let the Scrap King accomplish whatever purpose it has set on itself. And if the tree is not letting it get closer, it's clear it doesn't want it either."

"Then, the map is… So there's three intersecting branching paths, which each one then branches again, and again. We'll need to quickly take the one over there, to the northeast, then move up to the northeast, then southwest, and then down and down, and up and up- Yeah this is not going to be easy, huh? What a labyrinthian place this is." I laughed.

"Don't worry, I can easily guide you where I sense my slime partners, so we won't get lost anyways!" Pyuku smiled. "Now-"

"ROOOAAR!"

Suddenly, a metallic roar echoed from above us, the ground in the ceiling broken open to reveal a huge crack, metallic monsters crawling from within and then dropping towards us.

BAAAM!
