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

Chapter 192 Alice's Recklessness



-----

Alice had grown tired after giving me some new type of power, as she ended laying over the floor of my soul scape. She was so exhausted that the bright white light she emanated was slowly growing weaker, making me more and more worried over time about what might be happening to her…

"Please don't die on me!" I cried.

"Dummy… I am not dying, I am just tired… Sigh…" she said, as she extended a little arm made of white light and caressed my cheeks with it.

"I do this because you're the most important thing in my life…" she said.

"E-Eh? Really?" I asked.

The most important thing of her life?

Did she really had to put it that way? It only makes me feel flattered, but it is also quite embarrassing, if not a lot…

​ In fact, it is very embarrassing! How come she can say something like this so freely and easily?

I… I also find her as a beloved friend.

Since I was born in this world that I didn't knew what I was, what I was doing, and more.

I felt afraid of what was happening to me, of what I have become…

I was a completely different person after all, it was something that sometimes tormented my mind.

There were often times I thought I had somehow snatched the body of another soul, and that the one that was going to be the true Sylphy might had been not given the opportunity to have a family.

However, the System, or Alice, as I call her, was there for me.

At first, she was a faint little presence, but over time, she grew more and more on me. I continued to speak to her, trying to communicate to her.

I was trying my hardest to have a buddy I could talk with, and over time, she began to slowly answer my words, we conversed together, and we learned from one another.

Alice was the first friend I ever made in this life, and the companion I've ever had since the beginning.

She is someone equally precious to me as I am from her, I suppose.

Over time, more people began to appear in my life, Aquarina, her parents, Zack, Ignatius, Naturia, Furoh… But Alice is still my first ever companion, whom I love dearly.

Ah… Yes, the love of someone dear, a friend…

"You're also someone very important to me… So don't do reckless stuff anymore, okay? You're my good friend… I would had preferred to not get any power if I had to see you like this…" I said.

"S-Sylphy… But… This is just my duty…" she sighed.

Duty… As a System fabricated by a God, I suppose she always thought that her duty was to serve as a System, but for me, she's more than just a System, or a mass of divine runes converged together that makes a "System", she's… my friend.

In fact, she's like my Sister or something, like the twin sister I've ever had within my soul, slowly growing more open as I grew up, always talking with me… She was always such a timid little girl back then, but now, she's so bold, brave, and strong…

Seeing her grow like this really makes me proud.

"You're someone precious to me…" I said.

"I… I just want to help you, Sylphy… I know… I know that you see me as someone else, as a person, despite the true nature of my existence… You're… I guess you're really a very hopeless girl," she sighed.

"Okay, but you're already helping me! You're talking with me all the time, you help me mediate the discussions between my spirits, and you're always there for me… With you and the other guys, I am never truly alone, and we have faced many challenges together as well." I said.

Indeed, many challenges together, training together, learning magic together, learning how to speak this world's language as well, and more.

I know she was always sickly from the beginning, she was always in pain, she was always weeping, so it was also a challenge of mine to help her recover from such a state, it was my own challenge to help her become a better person once more.contemporary romance

It was indeed quite hard, but I was accomplishing it, slowly bit by bit, I was reaching somewhere, some point where she wasn't feeling so sickly, so pained… so seeing her like this…

"I am… Already helping?" she asked.

"Yes! You've always helped me more than enough!" I said.

"Sylphy…" she said.

I couldn't see her face, I couldn't see her expressions, but I could hear her voice, and her voice was filled with emotions, beautiful emotions that seemed to sympathize with my own.

It made me happy to have a sister with me for all times of the day, always with me wherever I was, and whatever I was doing, she always took care of me, and I did the same for her.

"S-So don't do reckless stuff again! I don't care about powerups… I care about you…" I said.

"Sylphy… Don't you understand that… I am… a tool?" she asked.

"You're not a tool, maybe you can help me gain power but you're more than that to me, you're like a Spirit, there is a mutual contract, I cannot simply receive from you while I don't give you anything on return!" I said.

"Y-You're just talking nonsense now…" she said.

"No! I am talking my mind out and… I want you to come out one day… For now, rest, and don't sacrifice your own power and health just to give me a bit of power… I prefer you to amass it all so you can one day have enough strength to emerge in the outside world with me…" I said.

The system's light began to glow a bit brighter, it felt as if she was regaining some health out of the sudden. I didn't knew what was happening but… I felt as if our connection  had deepened.

Suddenly, several rivers of golden colors emerged from my soul, reaching her…
