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

-----

After a strange entity picked me up by mistake, I was reincarnated as… an elf? What's that? In my previous life, I've never heard of elves. There was something similar called fae, but they were definitely not called elves…I wish I could have reincarnated in my own world. In fact, I think this might be a completely different place.

Ugh, what a pain. I've been drinking milk nonstop for the last few days. To be honest, my mother never let me go anywhere else. Also, being changed diapers was honestly very embarrassing when you had the mind of a young adult.

I looked at my house several times during those times. The insides looked similar to a rustic wooden house, allowing me to come to the conclusion that we were a rural family.

Fortunately, I could see through the window sometimes. There were vast fields outside. Tons of greenery even. With that in mind, my father was a farmer, most likely.

On the other hand, my mother cooked and cleaned the house while taking care of me. Father usually came after work, usually playing around with me. Then again, I have to admit that he's very handsome. And mother is very pretty as well. I guess I'll become a very beautiful girl in the future…

Geh… but I can't move.

It's so hard to have a baby's body!

I try to roll around over my crib but even that is hard… Ugh, being stuck in a baby's body is the worst.

At the very least… can I practice magic?

Let's see! Magic!

I tried to manipulate mana out of my tiny hands in the morning while mother was cooking and father was outside.

But surprisingly, nothing came out! What the hell? Where did all my mana training go?!

"Meeeh! Maaahh!"

I began trying an incantation sometime later, but nothing came out. At this point in time, my adorable mother got closer to me as she heard me make weird noises.

"Sylph, what's wrong? Do you want more of mama's milk?"

Her massive breasts jiggled a bit as she revealed one of it out in the open before grabbing me, forcing me to drink.

No! I don't want more milk! Please make it stop!

"Ueeggh…"

"Eh?"

As I try to move away from my mother's breasts, I suddenly remember something. That guy said something about saying the word 'Status' before I reincarnated, right?

"Sta… tus…"

After a while, I managed to say those faint words as a strange projection of some kind of semi-transparent magic emerged in front of me. However, mother didn't seem to be able to see it…

[Initiating system…]

[Recovering… Success.]

[1074 errors have been found.]

[Do you wish to fix the errors? It might take several hours.]

<Yes> <No>

What?

What is this thing? And why the hell is it not working that well?

I don't even get what a system is, but perhaps it's like an advanced artifact of sorts? However, it has so many errors… and you're telling me it'll take days to fix them?

Nope. Just let me see the damn thing.

[Errors can be fixed at a later date.]

[Agility: [6]

[Luck: [-10]

[Charm: [20]

[Skills:]

[Royal Elven Lineage]

[Agriculture]

[Lesser Fire Magic: Ember]

[Mana Usage]

…

Huh? Numbers? And… skills? What is this thing? I don't get it… wait, skills as in my abilities? I think that's right? I also have a single magic spell, a lesser fire magic spell named Ember. Then there's Mana Usage and… Agriculture and Royal Elven Lineage. Quite odd names for skills. And then the numbers… I guess the higher the better… But what with the shitty luck at -10? Why is it in the negatives? Will my life be filled with tragedy? Well, that's not good…

I wonder if I can use Ember…

Let's see…

Ember!

I point my hand upwards as a tiny flame came out almost naturally when I willed "Ember" into my head and visualized it.

The flame, however, was so small it was barely visible.

Eh?

Is that it?

Poof.

And soon, it disappeared.

Wow, what a letdown. I feel betrayed.

Nevertheless, what are these numbers and their words? Names? Strength means my own physical power? What about HP and MP? I don't know those terms…

Then again, they don't seem to be anything I should care about, I used Ember and then checked back my own status, nothing changed.

Wouldn't it be better if there was a Mana Number so I can see how much I spend per Ember? However, no number went down.

Well, whatever.

Even with this stupid "gift", I'm still as weak as a baby.

My Ember was so little and momentaneous that mother didn't even see it… incredibly pathetic.

I wish I could have abilities from my previous life here…

"Alright, Sylph, it seems you've calmed down… there you go~ Mama loves you lots and lots! Now take a nap while mama cooks for papa, alright?"

My mother's very adorable. As she said that, she gave me a loving smile before going back to cook.

However, I'm not gonna give up that easily!

I'll work hard and become stronger than my previous life. I swear to myself that I won't lose my family to some random ass bandits.

That is my goal.

It may be a simple goal, but it's MY goal, so deal with it.

I can do it!

With that, I quickly began rolling around, trying to use Mana Usage.

After a while, mana finally came out.

It seems I have to activate stuff through these mysterious "Skills" or it wouldn't work properly.

What a disappointment… does that mean the spells such as Lockpick or Mana Infusion I used to have cannot be used now?

Ugh…

I began rolling as mana gathered around my hands.

While doing this, I felt like my little body had gotten a bit more agile and a bit more dexterous, but even rolling for a bit was exhausting…

Uegh…

I looked at my status and there were no changes either.

Will it increase as I grow up? Not even HP or MP increased or decreased either.

What are these mysterious numbers? They were different as they showed the same number in brackets.

Could it mean that the first number is what I currently have, while the other one is the maximum amount I can have at once?

Hmm… so it's a number showing how much I can use? Like mana in quantities?

Wait a second… I finally get it!

MP must be Mana Points! And HP must be… Health Points? Wouldn't it be better if it was like… Vitality Points? Well, whatever.

But then why isn't my MP going down? I can shroud myself with mana all I want, and it never runs out?!

Is my system flawed?

I don't get it.

Maybe I have more mana than I think I do? Or perhaps even a single point of mana is a lot…

Ugh… however, even with this, I feel exhausted, so I ended up falling asleep after rolling and using mana for a while…

Meanwhile, the entity that had reincarnated Sylph looked over the world he had sent her into.

"Hmm… she reincarnated as a half-elf … good, it seems she's doing just fine. That's good, good…"

He began wandering around as he checked her status, though he wasn't able to fully get it.

"Hm? How bad is this system? I should have upgraded beforehand… nngh…?!"

Suddenly, the entity felt his body start to ache, as if a large piece of his power was drawn away permanently.

"Agh!"

He fell to the floor as he gasped for air.

"T-This system… what did it do?! It took… a large piece of my power?!"

The entity looked at the girl's status and found something odd.

"Her stats are frozen?! This means… the power it took from me was to adapt her body into this status, this frozen status…"

Soon enough, he realized why.

"Ah…! HP and MP cannot go down! Don't tell me… S-She's…"

And it was this very moment the godly entity knew the terrifying truth.
