Chapter 195: Concerns Over The Uncertain Future (2/2)
And the latter is [Main Character] which enhances… well, it makes you lucky. It seems to make those that have it be ”protected by Fate” somehow. Which in exchange makes them incredibly hard to kill too, as they get lucky in the most important places, tend to awaken powers when they are about to lose, and can also learn, comprehend, and use magic and acquire abilities faster than others.
Even with no Elemental Affinity, I am already incredible with these two Unique Skills. But the icing on the cake is [Endless Mana] which wasn't registered anywhere. I suppose I am the first one with it.
Quite literally, Endless Mana gives the user… endless mana. My Mana never runs out, it is a law-defying power. However, my parents, after many tests, discovered that the mana didn't come out of thin air but was generated by absorbing the mana of the world. And because the world is immensely big compared to me, it seems like endless mana because the maximum pool of mana of this entire world is gargantuan…
However, it doesn't even feel like a draining power, it just appears, mana just comes to me without any delay, I don't even have to wait for it to be drained…
With this alone, it seems that I would become a unique existence of immense power… However, things weren't as sweet, because of the other ”Unique Skill” I was born with, which wasn't really a Unique Skill but was cataloged as one.
[Yggdrasil's Curse]
This is a curse that the world gives to Reincarnated people who are born with enormous power. After becoming alarmed of their existence when the Five Great Devils emerged, the world's will, Yggdrasil, began to curse those it deemed as way too powerful and that could turn the entire balance of the world upside down by merely existing.
This Curse was also registered in the compendium, and only a few Reincarnated people had gotten it, or perhaps, only a few that were registered.
The effects varied a lot. Sometimes it didn't let someone's true powers awaken, other times it negated their attributes, but it varied. It was said that doing this curse cost a lot of effort and power to the world, so it doesn't do it all the time, some are also blessed and somehow chosen by Fate, even if they come with broken Unique Skills, they slip off Yggdrasil's grasp. I guess the Main Character Unique Skill didn't give me all the amazing power I could have wanted, because I suppose I am not as chosen as those.
It seems that my Curse had several effects on it to battle against the insane Endless Mana Unique Skill. After a lot of testing, my parents discovered that the Curse took away my original attribute affinity, and it also made it so I can't cultivate using my own Mana, meaning that my Mana Core cannot improve its cultivation, nor my body.
My Mana can be used to conjure spells, my own spells if I use it for anything else… well, the results are a bit terrifying, as black ooze named miasma comes out and makes magic artifacts malfunction and it could destroy my own Mana Core…
Due to this, the only way to cultivate for me is to drink Concoctions and other items… So it is very costly, even for my parents.
Sigh… And now, a year had gone since then.
