Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1857: Sylphy

-----

(Sylphy’s POV)

It has been over a year since I departed from everyone else, and I would be lying if I said things have been normal. From finding a new Hero to having my Dungeon attacked by the God of Dungeons and then losing two friends in that war—a lot happened. There hasn’t been a day I haven’t missed my family, my mother, my brother, my friends, and of course, Aquarina.

After the incident with the Dungeon, I gained a lot of power, but I also lost friends. It pushed into a depression that, although I hid from the rest, lasted for several months before I was able to move on from the pain and grief.

Bark and Curse... I might not have known them as well as I wished, but they were still my friends. Seeing them die made realize how fragile things can be, and how just because I think things will work out in the end, it doesn’t an they will.

I was delusional, filled with a childish sentint. Because I was given power and a great family in this world, I truly believed deep down that nothing bad could ever happen to or those I loved.

But I was wrong. So wrong...

That thought made bitter without realizing it. I ended up scaring my friends, making them worry. Even Ruby, soone new to our group, beca concerned. It all ended with breaking into tears, realizing that no matter how hard I worked to beco strong enough so nobody else would suffer, I still had to trust everyone else and believe it would work.

My ntality before wasn’t exactly wrong either. Trusting others is what has helped society advance to this point. And even though I felt like I was pretty naïve back then, there are many things I cannot change about myself—especially my own personality and who I am...

After the Dungeon Invasion, nothing too remarkable happened aside from us recruiting Ruby. I imrsed myself in my studies of Alchemy with Master Felicia and my friends. Every day we made a little progress, completing tasks and training.

We sparred together, helped my Dungeon World continue to flourish, and made sure the sa mistakes wouldn’t happen again. I also cultivated like never before—continuously, without stopping. The feeling of everything fading away in my hands was still there.

How Bark and Curse died... I couldn’t let that happen again. I had been too lazy, taking things for granted, even though I had the power, the potential to beco more... and this ti, I didn’t hesitate. I pushed myself to my limits, cultivating every day and every night. I invited my friends, and with their help, things beca easier.

My father told I was pushing myself too hard, so he stopped for a while. He told to take things easy, that I didn’t have to bla myself for their deaths. And he wasn’t wrong. We spent ti together, sparring and cultivating. I did a lot of thinking with him. I learned more about his life and his past, and about the difficulties he faced.

He even told about his battle against the Demon King, and the trauma he has been living with all this ti... Back then, I had never considered any of these things—how so people had lost even more than I did, and still continued moving forward, knowing they had to, for everyone they lost.

I understood a little better what I was aiming for, what I needed... While always thinking about my family, my friends, and the love of my life, I continued improving. Every day I thought about her too—her blue eyes, her clear brown skin, her long silvery-white hair. I wanted to see her. My Aquarina.

And that love drove forward. I realized that she too was fighting out there, improving herself every day, learning, eting new people, perhaps even making new friends... and it made happy. It filled with motivation.

It made wonder how much she would change, and how much stronger she would beco... but above all, my desire to see her again, my love for her, and the love I had for everyone...

It just... did sothing to .

Through the realization of my own weaknesses, my own flaws, and my desire to improve and overco them.

And after failing to do so, coming to the further realization that I couldn’t just reject who I was and attempt to replace myself with a new version...

Once I had that talk with my father about what it truly ant to be a Hero...

That next morning, sothing within awakened.

After training so intensively, after cultivating without end and barely seeing any proper results...

It was after I ca to the realization of who I was that I was able to step further.

Into a Realm unknown to all Mortals.

A Realm that only they coveted above the skies, never revealing their secrets to the rest, afraid that one day they would be opposed.

A bright light—sothing beyond a Divinity Spark, sothing beyond a Fragnt of a Divine Soul.

Through the combination of all the pieces I had gathered, rging them, and truly making them part of myself...

I was able to move even further beyond.

Thanks to Curse. Thanks to Bark...

Thanks to everyone else—my mother and my father, my brother and my friends.

Aquarina...

I felt like I was floating in the middle of the skies, my body becoming as light as a feather.

Yes, that mont.

It was when I achieved a True Divinity of my own.

I always had the power. I always had the potential!

What I needed... what I truly needed was...

Enlightennt. The realization of my own self, and then the desire to improve—not for selfish desires, but to help all those I love.

Because without them, what would I even be?!

It is thanks to them that I’ve co this far, after all.
