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

Chapter 1278: Show The Spirits Your Dedication!



"That's right, I had... promised her I wouldn't tell you, but I can't keep this a secret from her boyfriend after all," sighed Ninhursag. "Though I am fairly sure she had insinuated it at the very least, right? That girl wants a big family, Zack. You better work hard to become a good husband and take good care of her and all the precious children she will gift you."

"E-Eh? I..."

Zack had only thought about it very briefly, but to actually be an adult man with a big family of children, and having his beloved Mist, all grown up as a beautiful wife, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.

Mist has been someone that had changed his life more than he ever imagined, she gave him the love and attention he ever craved since a young age, which Ninhursag could not fulfill completely.

Perhaps it was because of being an orphan, but Zack had always desired a closer relationship with someone. Ninhursag was his mother, and Sylphy, whom he had a crush before, ended liking Aquarina instead.

He had been heartbroken for a while, and although his friends were always there for him, he wanted something else.

At first little Mist was quite obnoxious, he had to admit it... But over time, she became such a lovely girl, and showed Zack her feelings were real.

Although he didn't like her at first glance, over time he slowly fell for her, and right now, he couldn't be more in love with anybody else than her.

Thinking that Mist wanted something like this... it made Zack very happy.

"Yeah... You're right, I'll work hard to inherit your legacy, mother," Zack nodded. "So I can become strong, as strong as heroes. Even if I was never chosen to be one. I'll protect Mist, and love her, and we'll have a big family... And once we have children, I-I guess I could share your teachings too. You could too, you know... as their grandma."

"Fufu, well, aren't you too young to think so way ahead?" laughed Ninhursag, finding Zack's thought process very adorable.

"W-What?! You're the one that started with this mom!" cried Zack, feeling completely overwhelmed with embarrassment.

"Hahaha! My disciple is indeed very cute, but don't you think you're forgetting someone, Zack?" sighed Arafunn. "You're my disciple too! So you will also be learning from my teachings."

"R-Right, I had completely forgotten," nodded Zack. "With mother's Legacy, and uncle's Inheritance..."

"You could really become as strong as a hero, if not stronger, I think!" said Luck with a smile, patting his friend's shoulders. "Cheer up dude, we got this!"

"Yeah bro!" Zack laughed, patting Luck's back in response.

Arafunn and Ninhursag smiled, nodding as they saw the two boys strengthen their bonds as friends through this journey.

Their journey continued across the West Grasslands, the sea of grass seemed to never end, but there was no moment of boredom for the two boys.

Arafunn was a merciless teacher, telling Zack to sing a song while also manipulating winds and calling upon his spirit's spiritual powers.

For several hours, throughout most of the day!

Zack was already dying after the first day, and couldn't believe he had been singing nonstop, thankfully Luck wasn't making fun of him and was working just as hard.

Ninhursag had designed a training method for him with the help of the Divine Beast Spirits, who had become more talkative now.

Luck was constantly using his beast transformation, draining away his Mana and Spirit Essence with each hour, and shifting to the other form when he got tired.

It was only walking while doing these activities, but it was sure one of a training. Luck would usually only transform for a couple of minutes.

But doing it for hours without end made him go almost mad, his mind was being consumed by the beastly powers of the Beast Spirits.

He had to Meditate while walking, meditations which Ninhursag taught him.

"Uugh... Hahhh... it's the third day already and I can't with this anymore...!" Luck screamed, falling to his knees. "I-I need to revert, my body, my head, it hurts..."

"Calm down," said Ninhursag, taking out a needle with ink. "Sit down, I will place upon your body Seals."

"Seals?" wondered Luck.

"Simple Tattoo-like Runic Seals of my tribe, I believe they should work with you," Ninhursag explained as she started working, painting over Luck's skin as he reverted back. "You see my body? these tattoos are all special runic engravements, seals that transform my body and also keep beastly power sealed. I will place upon you a Beast Containment Seal. It will weaken the beast powers and help you keep your transformation for much longer, albeit weaker." "That would be so useful, thank you..." Luck sighed. "B-But why didn't you do it before?"

"I had to make sure your body could take the beast powers for longer than three days, and you barely passed," nodded Ninhursag. "It's done."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Already?!"

Luck noticed his stomach had a huge circle engraved with ancient runes made of white ink. "Imbue Mana into the tattoo and it will activate."

"Okay..."

Luck did as he was told, and it worked perfectly. The runes lit up, shining brightly as they spiraled and circled around one another.

The power of the beasts within him were contained slightly, and then he transformed again.

It was still tiring and everything, but not as tiring as before.

"Now, keep this up for the three weeks we'll take to reach the ruins and I'll reward you with another new rune," said Ninhursag. "One that could help you select which part of the beast

you want in your body."

"That would be so useful!" Luck wondered.

"Technically, you could do this once you learn enough," said the Divine Golden Tiger Spirit. "However, you're too young for that yet. So this is the only method, to merge the Skin Changers Tribe Runic Tattoos with your hero's powers. I had never considered it until now, but seeing how the world is, its better if you grow as quickly as possible, Luck."

"Thank you, Divine Spirit," Luck nodded. "Zack, are you still singing?"

"No, I need to dance with the winds now..." Zack sighed. "This is so embarrassing..."

"Come on now! The Wind Spirits are getting bored, show them your dedication, boy!" Arafunn started clapping.

"Y-Yes..."
