Chapter 6: Chapter 6-Rewards

Mika let out a mental sigh of satisfaction when she heard and saw the System notifications. It took her countless tries, but she finally managed to form her Mana Pathways and Mana Core perfectly! 

She didn’t even need the System to tell her that her Mana Pathways and Mana Core were perfect because she could instinctively tell they were. Mika didn’t know how to explain it properly, but for some reason, everything felt right. 

She could feel the tiny bits of Fire and Darkness mana coursing through her tiny fetus body, and if she could, Mika definitely would’ve let out a moan of satisfaction. It felt like she had gained a new limb. 

No, that’s not right. It felt like she had reattached a part of her body that she didn’t even know was missing. While Mika can’t say she was filled with power, she can say that her body felt full of potential. The potential to grow beyond human limitations and even beyond that. 

Unlike her previous life’s body, which had a limit on how powerful it could become through sheer hard work and determination, this body no longer had a cap. Or maybe it did, but it was so high that Mika couldn’t see it. 

Either way, Mika now had a bit more trust in the System. Although it didn’t help her much with the creation of her Mana Pathways and Core, it provided the knowledge and helped fix some of the errors she made along the way. 

She was still skeptical about why the System latched itself onto her as she didn’t know what a Multiverse, Universe, or any of that nonsense was. 

However, she was still more than satisfied with the results. She wanted to reach the pinnacle of Swordsmanship, and although her Mana Core and Pathways don’t have anything to do with Swordsmanship, they can increase her power outage when she’s using the sword.

After basking in the glory of creating her Mana Core and Pathways, she decided to send her consciousness into her body to get a good look at everything. 

She knew nothing was wrong with her body, but she wanted to admire her handiwork. 

With that said, she immediately started looking at her newly formed Mana Pathways and Core. 

She could see her Passive Mana Pathways constantly circulating specks of Fire and Darkness Mana, while her Active Mana Pathways also had some Fire and Darkness Mana. It was far less than her Passive Pathways, as that Mana was only there to keep her Active Mana Pathways from closing and to decrease the casting time whenever she wanted to release a spell.

Next, she observed her Mana Core and noticed that the entire thing was pitch black on the outside. She was a bit concerned with the color but decided to voice those concerns after she finished her observations. 

Moving her consciousness inside her Mana Core, Mika saw that it barely had any Mana in it. Though, that wasn’t very surprising as she used pretty much all of the mana previously contained within it to not only properly form her Core but also her Mana Pathways.

Mika proceeded to double-check everything, and once she confirmed that everything was working as it was supposed to, she stopped observing her body and decided to voice her concerns to the System.

‘System, why is my Mana Core pitch black? At first, I thought it was because of my Darkness Affinity, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Can you elaborate on this?’

[Your Mana Core is pitch black simply because you’ve reached the First Realm of the Mana Gathering Cultivation System. Right now, you are at the 1st Stage of the Black Core Realm. There are 10 Minor Stages in each Major Realm; Stages 1 through 10.] 

[Once you reach the Peak of the Realm, you’ll be able to break through to the next Major Realm. Since you are a Black Core right now, once you break through to the next Major Realm, your Core will change from Black to Red. Then it’d go from Red to Orange, Orange to Yellow, and so on.]

Mika was shocked when she heard the System’s reply, but soon that shock changed to excitement. She was excited that the journey to the top wouldn’t be short! She was excited that her potential was much higher than she initially thought. 

Mika knew the System wanted her to become a God, or in her case, a Goddess. However, she has absolutely no idea what it means to be a Goddess! 

All she knows is that they are powerful beings capable of creating life and wiping out countless people with a wave of their hands. 

From what the System described, she assumed that there must be many Major and Minor Realms for her to surpass. Wouldn’t she end up having power like those Gods and Goddesses in legends as long as she keeps rising through the ranks?!

That’s why Mika’s so excited and not overwhelmed because the more Realms of power there are, the stronger she can get and the closer she can get to reaching the peak of Swordsmanship!!

What was the reason she was unable to continue improving her swordsmanship in her last life?

Her weak body and limited lifespan! 

However, with mana, she can train her body past her previous limits and increase her lifespan!

It took a while for Mika to calm down her raging emotions, but she still couldn’t wipe the smile off her face and in her mind. Although she can’t really smile as a fetus, in Mika’s mind, she is smiling.

After she calmed down, she decided to ask the system about the [Title] and the [Unique Body Cultivation Power System] she received as a reward. 

‘System, what does this title mean, and what does it do? Also, what’s this about Body Cultivation?’

[The title, [Body of Mana (EX)], is a title given only to those that have formed perfect Mana Pathways and a perfect Mana Core before they’ve officially been born. The benefits of having this title are you start with higher ranked affinities, easier to control mana, faster cultivation, higher storage of mana in your core, and more.]

‘Damn! What an amazing title! However, isn’t it basically impossible for anyone other than me to actually get such an amazing title? Unless a child is born with perfect Pathways and a perfect Core in the womb, there’s no way for a baby to do such a thing. Unless they either have experience doing such a thing and are reincarnated into another person's body like me, or they are just incredibly lucky, and the pathways and core formed themselves. Well, it’s not like I’m complaining. It wouldn’t be special if it were easy. Okay, now tell me about Body Cultivation.’

[Body Cultivation is the process of destroying and repairing one’s body repeatedly to create something stronger. Doing so strengthens every aspect of one’s body, including bones, marrow, blood, muscles, skin, and organs. Not only that, but it also increases one’s lifespan, just like Mana Cultivation. There are 5 Stages in each Realm; Initial-Early-Middle-Upper-Peak.]

[However, you are different. The System has offered you a reward of unlocking a new Body Cultivation Path that deviates from the normal Body Cultivation Path. Yours will be more focused on swordsmanship rather than simply bodily strength. That’s not to say that your body won’t be strong should you choose this path.] 

[Quite the contrary, your body will be much stronger than those in the same realm because not only is this a specialized path created by the System, but it’s also a path suited for making you the strongest swordsman. If you want to reach the Peak of Swordsmanship, this is your path.]

‘Yes! I choose that one! I don’t really get it, but if it can make me stronger and help me reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, why would I care about that other path?! I don’t even need to think about my answer. I want to follow that path!’

[DING! Command Accepted!]

[Initiating Unique Body Cultivation Path]

[Prepare for Evolution]

[2]

[1]

[Evolution Commenced! Time Remaining until Evolution is Complete: ~4 months]

That was the last thing Mika heard before she lost consciousness.
