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

-----

Soon after obtaining the new Elemental Alchemical Forge Skill, I swiftly moved to try its usage and effects, I was wondering what it could be all about.

"Let's see… {Elemental Alchemical Forge}!"

Ding!

[You have activated the [Elemental Alchemical Forge: Lv1] Skill! Please choose an Element you want to imbue into the Item]:

[Fire]

[Fire (Spirit)]

[Thunder]

[Darkness]

[Darkness (Spirit)]

[Demon]

[Holy Light]

[Light (Spirit)]

[Void]

[Space]

[Nature]

[Nature (Spirit)]

[…]

Yet, the first thing I saw was a huge list of elements and so on. The list went on and on, there were much more elements than I ever imagined! This probably meant I had all these Elements available for infusion, crazy.

"These are way too many Elements, Alice!" I said. "Is this really possible? There are some weird elements here, can they even be eaten through a potion?"

"Elemental Blessings won't suddenly make a potion toxic or poisonous, unless you choose the Poison Element…" said Alice. "So yes, everything can be consumed… Why?"

"I can even imbue it with Void then?!" I asked. "Ok, let's go with that!"

"Wait, you're going with Void as your first choice?!" Alice was slightly taken aback by my choice, but I couldn't help it, I wanted to test the weirdest one first.

[You have selected the [Void] element to imbue into the target item!]

FLUOSH!

Upon choosing the Element, a ray of gray and black color was imbued into the potion, as it exploded with an aura of the void that slightly distorted space around it.

Then, its aura became strong and then weak, fluctuating between two states of elemental aura, it felt like it was struggling to absorb such a weird element, until it changed completely.

The potion's glass flask turned deep black, and its liquid interior was gray and slimy, it looked weird, what the hell! Well, what else should I have expected from a Void Potion anyways?

Ding!

[Congrats! You have successfully created the [Elemental Item]: [Dark Potion of the Void (S Grade)] x1!]

[The [Elemental Alchemical Forge: Lv1] Skill has gained +1.000 Skill EXP!]

"Eugh, this thing looks kind of disgusting," I said.

Alice giggled a bit.

"Well, I told you everything could be consumed, not that it would be appealing…" she said. "Well, why don't you give it a try? A little sip won't hurt you."

"Ugh…" I looked at the potion and then opened the flask, drinking a bit of it.

The flavor was bitter and disgusting, I almost gaged and vomited it all, but I resisted the impulse and kept it within my throat, then swallowed more and more.

Then, once the entire thing was emptied, I sighed in relief.

"Phew, that was fucking disgusting! I bet this is how sewer water tastes like!" I covered my face. "Why did I even drink this? Am I growing insane every day?"

"Not at all, you're simply a good alchemist that is willing to do anything for her creations!" smiled Alice. "How do you feel? Any difference?"

"Hmm…" I closed my eyes, trying to feel something.

And yes, there was something, a small, ever-growing aura coming from within my stomach and spreading across my body.

"Ugh… What's this?"

FLUOSH!

It was a black and gray aura, it looked weird and ugly, constantly twisting and seemed "heavy" and "liquid" at the same time, not completely ethereal.

"Interesting…"

Ding!

[You have consumed the [Elemental Item]: [Dark Potion of the Void (S Grade)] x1!]

[You have restored 20% of your Health and Mana.]

[Your Magic Stat has increased by 20%, your Void Elemental Power has increased by 30%, and you have gained a {Lesser Void Aura} that lets you control small Void Particles around you for defense and offense for 10 minutes.]

"Oh wow, this is not bad at all! And if it's a potion, everyone can get these effects too, right?" I wondered.

"Yes, technically!" nodded Alice. "Try out other Potions and experiment!"

"O-Okay!" I nodded.

I quickly moved to imbue other leftover potions I had with more Elements, I created a Fire, Holy Light and Thunder Elemental Potions so it's a bit more different this time.

Ding!

[Congrats! You have successfully created the [Elemental Item]: [Fiery Potion of Spirit Fire (S Grade)] x1!]

[Congrats! You have successfully created the [Elemental Item]: [Holy Potion of Light (S Grade)] x1!]

[Congrats! You have successfully created the [Elemental Item]: [Electrifying Potion of Thunder (S Grade)] x1!]

[The [Elemental Alchemical Forge: Lv1] Skill has gained +3.000 Skill EXP!]

"And done!"

I was also gaining one thousand EXP per potion, so it wasn't bad at all!

"Now let's try drinking the fire potion…"

I quickly drank it, it was tasty like strawberry, so it wasn't that bad at all, though it had a weird spicy aftertaste, like the sore throat you get when you eat too much sugar.

"Hmm…"

FLUOSH!

Then, a fiery aura surged from my body, it didn't overwrite the previous potion effect. Damn, so they can stack!

Ding!

[You have consumed the [Elemental Item]: [Fiery Potion of Spirit Fire (S Grade)] x1!]

[You have restored 30% of your Health and 10% Mana.]

[Your Strength Stat and Magic Stats has increased by 10%, your Spirit Fire Elemental Power has increased by 30%, and you have gained a {Lesser Fire Spirit Aura} that lets you control small Fire Spirit Essence around you to create Spiritual Weapons, Armor, or Spells for 10 Minutes.]

"It works nicely!"

"Really? Okay, drink a third one then."

"Sure!"

I quickly went for the third potion, the holy light potion. I was hoping to get all three stacked auras and effects, that would skyrocket my stats and elemental power a lot.

Ding!

[You have consumed the [Elemental Item]: [Holy Potion of Light (S Grade)] x1!]

[You have restored 20% Health and Mana.]

[Your Magic and Resistance Stats has increased by 10%, your Holy Light Elemental Power has increased by 30%, and you have gained a {Lesser Holy Light Aura} that lets you control Holy Light Energy around you to slightly heal nearby allies and conjure protection and blinding spells at short-range.]

"Yes, three can be stacked!"

As I was celebrating, suddenly, the void aura was suppressed!

"Eh?"

[You have reached the maximum amount of Potion Effects, which is two. Any new Elemental Potion Effect will rewrite the first on the list.]

[To increase your amount of Effects you can maintain, increase your [Elemental Alchemical Forge: Lv1] Skill Level!]
