310 Brand New System Magic
—–
Without realizing it, I ended feeling all down, so I just sat over the bed all tired, thinking about those times. I had surely grown way stronger than back then... I wonder if I could had stood a better chance against that damn skeleton. Hm... There were some remnants of his core, maybe I could make a ring out of it and get him as my spirit too. I will just make him submit to me the same way I did with Beelzebub! ...Well, more like I befriended the giant fly with a lot of comprehension and understanding. He couldn’t really beat the power of friendship, hehe.
Anyways, thinking about that skeleton really angers me though. With the Blue Demon, Ignatius, and Beelzebub, the conflict was rather indirect, but with this damn skeleton... I don’t want him as my friend to be honest. Maybe I would think different if I didn’t engage him directly, but I guess I got a grudge against him now... He tore me to pieces after all. It would be better if he remained dead forever than to be revived as a spirit by me. He always used to escape death and revive through his unique power after all. Damn, I am such a selfish person... I guess I am really a human then, part human, I suppose.
Maybe if I didn’t engaged in a fight, even if he made other suffer, because I am a stubborn person, I would probably want him to be my spirit like it happened with Beelzebub... Though, now that I think about, I am really curious about this skeleton’s past, but it has been so long since I fought him that I would rather just not think about him... Maybe my hatred is connected with the trauma I also have about him. Although it would be nice if he could become something like a Spirit of Death to let me learn Death Magic or something. Well, for now let’s not think about him, right? There’s more important things in my life such as a Caterpillar crawling around the forest of my Soul Scape, a rolling blazing egg, and an adorable floating seed that was now sprouting a big little branch out of her body. Oh right, how can I forget the System, Alice, and Furoh, my wormy friend?
“Hey guys, how’s its going!” I said to everybody.
“I am hungry...” Sighed Ignatius.

“Food... Meat!” Said Furoh.
Geez, these three guys are really just interested in food!

“Good morning Sylphy, don’t listen to these two grumpy spirits.” Said Alice with her gentle and lovely voice. “More importantly, I spent the last week doing some research regarding something you’ve been wanting to use for years but couldn’t... Now that I am a Spirit, I’ve finally managed to get the knack of it!”
“Fooo!” Naturia said, adding nothing to the conversation, but she was very cute.
“Oh, what is it?” I wondered. I really didn’t remembered anything I had been asking her for, but Alice seemed very happy to have finally figured it out after a while of being a Spirit. Maybe I forgot about it? I really can’t remember-
“I have finally figured out System Attribute Magic!”
“EEEEEH?!”
I ended screaming loudly inside the tent, and Aquarina who was trying to sleep again jumped off the bed, looking at me terrified!
“Sylphy! Why did you just screamed?! Is something wrong?”
“I-I... No...” I said. “There’s nothing wrong in here! A-Anyways, how about we... wake up and go have breakfast?” I helped Aquarina stand up from bed, then helped her stretch her little body, and sent her off back to her tent.
“I’m gonna take a quick bath so don’t come peeking!” I said.
“But we can take a bath together...” She said.
“I-I am already big enough to take one alone... I-It is a bit embarrassing!” I said.
“O-Oh... Alright, sorry...” Said Aquarina, as she walked back to her tent a bit saddened.

“Sorry about that earlier, Alice... now that everything is cleared up, can you tell me what’s up?” I wondered.
“Alright... I already told you but I’ve figured out System Magic! ...Well, partially.”
“Partially?”
“Yes, there are only a few spells you can use for now. This Magic is actually super complicated, probably the most complicated there is, but because I am made out of Runes from this artificial element, it is actually possible to use my own runes to give you the power to use this magic directly, unlike Polymorph or Cooking Magic, where you need to first learn other Magic Tiers first.”
“I see... Show me more about it! What can I do? How many spells do I have?”
“Well, first of all, it seems System Magic is quite... strange. It doesn’t seem to have any offensive power yet, and it is related with our own System directly. I don’t know, but it seems quite impossible to fix the bugs as of now, but it does seems doable to do other things, modifying the System, the Status, and even... giving a non-bugged Status to others!”
“What?! Alice, are you serious about this?!”
“Yes but it takes a toll on me... For now, we can only make a System Seed, a single one! After a bit of a cooldown, maybe we can make more. So... you have to choose someone you trust to give it to them. This Status they’ll gain will not be bugged, so they’ll be able to actually level up and gain Skills easily... Which is a bit weird when you can’t... But you got Immortality and Infinite Mana instead, so it is not so bad when you compare them, right?” Asked Alice. ????????????????????????????. Com
“Y-You’re right I guess... But who should I give it to? Aquarina? I don’t really know if she could handle it...” I sighed.
“Hmm... You’ll have to think about it! Anyways, the two Spells you can use right now are [System Seed Creation] which has only one use for now, and then the [System Modification]!”
