Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Sadly I was forced to rest for the rest of the day. I studied magic for a while, which quickly turned into ten hours. This world, called Mestea, day length was much longer than Earth’s and was thirty two hours long. Due to the double suns, the night cycle was short, making the daytime much longer as well.

When it got dark, I closed my book, ate some dinner, and went to my room which was once just my brother’s room, but now I share it with him, and climbed into bed. Although I was disappointed in the fact that I was unable to cast a spell, I was very happy that I had successfully released my mana and allowed it to flow around my body. But strangely, I felt my body was much stronger than it was before. I mean, I could feel the mana being absorbed into my body during the process. I was not sure if this was the reason for this new feeling of strength but I did not mind feeling stronger. But as curious as I am, I opened up my menu. “Status…”

“Oh? Looks like I benefited from that. Or was it because of something else?” I mumbled under my breath as I stared at my stats. I have no idea just how strong this actually made me, but it did seem to at least give me a power up! I gazed at my stats, marveling at the high numbers when they suddenly changed.

“Hmm?” I looked at the stats that had just increased by one without me doing anything, feeling very surprised. Of course, my first thought was something was wrong. “Is it bugged?”

It was not like I could actually test it to see if it was bugged or not. I mean, I have seen my stats go up before on their own, but it was after I had worked out. My only way of testing to see if it would happen again was to stare at them. And so I did… I laid there and stared at my stats for what felt like an eternity but only ended up being around an hour. And that was when it happened again.

“Is it really because I released my mana earlier?” I fell into thought trying to figure it all out when it hit me. “My mana flow! I never closed it off!”

I remember that my mother told me to reduce the mana coming out of my body but never told me to close it off, so I didn’t! I quickly checked, and as I thought, my mana was still trickling out very slowly, seeping into my body, and was being absorbed by my muscles and organs. I had gotten so used to the feeling that I had completely forgotten that it was still being released!

I started to get very excited because if I never ran out of mana and was able to continuously keep my mana trickling out like this, wouldn’t my stats continue to rise by one point an hour? That was thirty two points per day, and after a single year which was six hundred and fifty seven days, that was twenty one thousand twenty four stat points each! “Isn’t this too OP?”

I quickly calmed myself down because I knew I was getting ahead of myself. If such a thing was possible, I would end up truly becoming a monster. I did not wish to expect one thing and then end up being sorely disappointed later on. I watched my stats for a while longer to see them change once more before deciding it was time to get some sleep.

I woke up to the sounds of the songbirds singing by the windowsill and gently rubbed my eyes. I looked around my room at my brother’s bed to see that he had already gotten up. He had been busy helping my father more out in the field. Even last night, he did not come home until late. But this was to be expected of harvest season. It was a very important time for my family. Without selling our harvest, we would not be able to last the year. This also meant that my mother would soon be busy prepping the portion of our crop we will use for the family for storage.

Unlike Earth in the days of old, magic substituted for things like refrigerators. My father built a large box which was then imbued with ice magic to be used as a freezer to store our food stock. Of course, he would add to it when it was low by going out and hunting small game. Food was the last of our worries even though we lived so far from any other village.

As for spices and other things that the family needed, we could trade for those when the merchant came every month. I have not seen this merchant myself, but I do hope to visit it the next time it comes around, now that I am older.

After waking up some, I suddenly remembered what happened last night and once again opened my status menu.

“Max for level… So I guess I can’t just become a monster within a year. But it caps at thirty for the level, does that mean I can only gain thirty more points per level?” I really wanted to test this, but currently, I had no way of leveling up, nor did I even know how to level up. I closed the menu and completely closed off my mana flow. But as I did I slapped my forehead for being so dumb. “What was I thinking by leaving it to trickle all night!? What if it suddenly dried up!?”

Now I know that my mind and mana stat have infinity symbols but what I just did was very risky! There was no way of telling if the stat was truly infinity. “I will need to be more careful from now on.”

“Faith, are you up? Hurry up and wash up and come eat. We will continue yesterday’s lesson.” I heard my mother yell, which instantly made me excited. Today is the day I will finally cast my first spell! For real this time!

I quickly used the big bowl on the table in the room that was used for washing our faces and splashed it over my face before drying it off and rushing towards the kitchen. I needed to eat quickly, or I would waste even more valuable magic casting time!

My mother chuckled as she saw me sitting down and shoving the food in my mouth. “Faith, slow down, we have all day.”

“I know, but it’s magic. I already couldn’t cast it yesterday due to what happened, but today is the day! I have been waiting so long!” My eyes were shining, and my excitement was overflowing. I couldn’t wait to finally cast my first spell!

My mother smiled warmly at me and placed her hand on my head, ruffling my hair. “To see you so excited about something makes me feel at ease.”

My mother’s tone was warm, but I got a little confused as she knelt down in front of me and took my hand. She looked up at me with a serious expression before she began speaking again. “You must know that you are different from the others due to inheriting your father’s ancestral bloodline. Demi humans… No matter what race they are from, are not well liked within the human kingdoms. Some kingdoms even enslave them. Luckily our Gravos kingdom has banned slavery, but demi humans are still not treated fairly. Only those who are able to show they have talents that the kingdom can use are given special treatment.

“This is why when I first saw you reading at such a young age, I was so excited and happy. Faith, I need you to grow up strong and be ready to face a world that does not treat demi humans kindly. But I also want you to know that no matter what, me, your father, and your brother will always be here to defend you from the wrongs of the world. You are a beautiful girl and are very kind, although a little naughty at times. But all three of us love you very much.” Seeing the tears welling up in my mother’s eyes also made me begin to tear up. I now understood why my mother was so happy when I did things beyond her expectations. Why she would always praise me for being smart. I reached out and hugged her tightly. I truly loved my family of this life. They were always worried about my well being and concerned about my future.

“Don’t worry, mother, I will become amazing at magic so no one will look down on me.” I said softly. She only hummed and hugged me tighter. This was a day I am sure I will remember for the rest of my life.

I am not sure how things will end up in the future, but one thing I know for sure is that I will grow stronger, and I will make sure to protect the ones I love and care about. Those who treat me kindly will be treated kindly in return. But those who try to harm me or my loved ones, I will not let them off easily. I will not go around attacking people just because they said something bad about me or because they gave me a dirty look, but if they tried to harm me or my loved ones, I will then retaliate. This does not mean those mean boys will not get beaten up later…. Hehe… I will make them call me big sister later!
