Alma POV IV 1/4

It has been over a year since my parents discovered that I had Unique Skills and since they told me about those Five Great Devils. It was very surprising to me to learn that this world was actually infested by reincarnated people that was born with Unique Skills that disrupted the world's order.

It seemed straight out of a fanfic to think that there were such people in this world, but it seems that it was all truth, there were many Reincarnated spread across the world, and there were many more in the past. In fact, amongst the many Venerables that once existed, there were a few that came from another world, Reincarnated people with Unique Skills.

Even more, several elements in this world were introduced by them as well, things such as Dream, Blood, and Luck Attribute were introduced into this world thanks to them and their Unique Skills…

My parents even said that stuff such as high tech came from a Devil of the past, and whose technology was banned in all countries due to its dangerous and uncontrollable nature.

Even more, it seems that Unique Skill users are chased down by several organizations, captured, and used as living tools and weapons…

It is more dangerous than it seems to be… If my power is revealed, I might end up being used as an experiment. Maybe they will use me as a living battery of mana or something…

By just thinking about it, I can't help but have shivers down my spine. I don't want that at all…

But… My parents didn't seem to have gotten angry because I was a Unique Skill user or something, they only were worried. Because… well, like good parents, they love me.

They didn't ask me how I was in my previous life, or what did I do in my previous life, they were only worried about me and ended asking me about what powers I had in detail, to see what they could do.

I had answered them thoroughly, there was no point in hiding this from the two most important people of my life as of now. They were shocked when they realized I had Endless Mana as one of my Unique Skills. The others were also interesting, although, through what seemed to be a Unique Skill compendium, they were able to see that [Continuous Casting] and [Main Character] in the compendium…

It seems that a few Unique Skill users that had been registered in the compendium had such Skills, it wasn't as rare.

What I found out was that Continuous Casting aids someone to use Magic without having to conjure it through words, by merely willing it, and without any extra mana cost either. Additionally, spells can be conjured continuously without any delay, or many at the same time too.

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.
