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

Chapter 882 Waking Up

-----

(Sylphy's POV)

I remember my dreams barely, and briefly. But I could easily recall my own soul floating within an endless landscape of darkness, as I fought a gigantic spider chained by black chains.

The giant spider was much stronger than I was, but because it was chained, it could not fight back. Bit by bit, I took away her life away, until she ultimately succumbed.

"Y-You monster…! What… what are you?"

Those were the last words I remembered she said before completely perishing, her will disappearing, and all her body, her soul, her powers, fusing into my own soul.

And after that, it felt as if I slowly… grew.

My arms grew, my legs did as well, everything grew. It felt as if not only I was getting larger, but I was becoming one with the darkness of my surroundings, with nature, the sky…

This blissful feeling I felt, when I woke up, I could only recall it as just another dream.

But now that I think about… Ugh, was that Lolth's Soul?

I did eat a large chunk of it! It might had been almost half her divine soul that she used to descent and take over Arachne as her new vessel.

It was so weird, but I guess it's over now. I remember doing similar battles against Ignatius soul in the past when I was a toddler.

However, this time was different, defeating her meant her Will dying, so I only inherited her powers, and there was no Will remaining, nor becoming some sort of spirit.

Aw, what a sad twist, I would have loved an annoying former-goddess spider spirit!

Those chains… Well, they were perhaps my own Curse stopping her from retaliating against me. I guess because I ate her so directly, there wasn't any other option than slowly fully assimilating her.

And that feeling of "growth" must have been my soul, it finally evolved and forged itself a Psyche, something like a Physique but for Souls instead of the Physical Body.

"You're finally awake! Good morning! You slept a lot, you know?" Alice appeared at my side.

"Alice…" I yawned. "Ah, how long did I sleep?"

"Around two weeks!" Said Alice. "You were in coma, actually."

"…Eh?"

So that battle that felt like an eternity… I fought Lolth's soul for like a week and then took another week to completely assimilate her powers into my own soul?! 

"Ugh… W-What happened after everything ended?" I asked, sighing.

"Very little, actually. You went back home, rested, and the reconstruction of the town has been going steadily. Everyone's worried about you though, your mom assured everyone you'll eventually wake up, and used magic to feed you nutrients while you slept." Said Alice. "But aside from that, everyone's been mostly relaxing, taking things slowly. A lot happened after all- Ah! Right, a lot of Anima people joined the town! They're getting along quite fine with the townspeople. Your mother had built them a lot of new homes quickly using Nature Magic. Lara and Luck are happy as well, finally taking a break, although a bit worried about you too."

"I see…" I smiled, feeling much better. "I guess it was all worth it! Man, I love happy endings."

"I really thought we were done for back then… But I guess you never stop amusing me, Sylphy- No, everyone, you're just amusing everyone now!" Laughed Alice. 

"Well, I did what I could… But I'm glad that it worked, it was just a gamble though, I can't believe it… actually worked. Is Lolth dead?" I wondered.

"I'm not sure, they said that only half her soul descended, I'm guessing the other half's somewhere else, probably hiding because she's too weak to fight now." Alice analyzed the situation. "Ah, but let's leave that topic for later. There's a lot of System Notifications! Do you want to check them?"

"Sure." I nodded. "Let's see- Uwaah!"

With several dinging sounds whenever a system window materialized in front of me, I saw tons of them appear in front of my face, surprising me so much I ended falling back into the bed.

Ding! Ding! DING!

"Sylphy?! You're awake!"
