Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 2039: Strength’s Evolution

Observing the function of each statistic truly broadened my understanding.

[Sub-Stats]:

[Raw Power]: Dictates the maximum physical force unleashed in attacks.

[Muscle Density]: Enhances muscle resilience, mitigating fatigue and the risk of injuries.

[Grip Force]: Improves weapon control, grappling effectiveness, and crushing capabilities.

[Explosive Force]: Governs rapid bursts of power, essential for sprint starts or potent strikes.

[Endurance of Might]: Prolongs the duration that full Strength can be sustained without succumbing to exhaustion.

[Bone Reinforcement]: Fortifies skeletal structure to endure tremendous pressure.

[Weight Capacity]: Determines the maximum load that can be lifted, transported, or thrown.

[Impact Force]: Magnifies shockwaves and the secondary damage resulting from physical impacts.

[Resonance]: Harmonizes with Sylphy’s physical form, boosting other stats when Strength is actively applied.

And the fact that my Total Strength has already surpassed one hundred points is certainly a cause for celebration, hehe. But this is not the end, is it?

There is more to come.

Ding!

[Strength] is now eligible for evolution! Do you wish to commence the evolution immediately?

[Yes] [No]

Upon seeing the notification, I grinned, turning my gaze back to Strength. She met my look, her eyes burning intensely. Although she remained silent, I could sense her excitement, mirroring the anticipation from before.

For the very first time in my existence, I finally possessed the ability to cultivate my own stats, and Strength had been designated as my inaugural 'Living Stat.' Having undergone one evolution already, she—no, *we*—could not get enough of that exhilarating sensation.

Yes, the feeling of finally elevating my stats after such a prolonged period of stagnation.

I imagine she felt a sense of pride, perhaps even honor. Regardless of her exact feelings, I couldn't read her mind, but her impatience was undeniable. After all, she was glaring at me, arms crossed.

However, I understood one thing about her: she, much like myself, harbored an intense desire for growth, a drive to shatter our limitations regardless of the toil involved. If a path exists, we shall tread it. Should no path be present, we will carve one with our sweat, tears, and blood. Perhaps that sounds overly dramatic, but I find solace in such a mindset.

After selecting [Yes], Strength erupted with an upward surge, akin to a pillar of flame as during her initial evolution, but now imbued with even greater ferocity and intensity.

Stronger.

Her form emanated a vibrant orange luminescence, interspersed with streaks of yellow, transitioning to gold and red before cycling back through red, yellow, orange, and gold in a continuous, mesmerizing display.

With her evolution complete, she grew noticeably taller, exceeding my height by at least twenty centimeters this time. Furthermore, her musculature expanded dramatically, her physique now appearing at least twice the size of my own.

“Oohh!”

As I observed her transformation, I felt her power coursing through me, permeating my body and physical form, even extending into my soul and spiritual energy.

Indeed, the Flames of Strength blazed hotter than ever before. My physical self absorbed every surge of that potent energy, assimilating it as my own. The sensation was invigorating and utterly magnificent.

[Congratulations, Strength has successfully Ranked Up to Rank D!]

[Strength – Rank D: Level 0/100]

[Total Strength has increased from 122 to 202!]

[All Sub-Stats have increased!]

[The Skill: Flames of Strength Lv5 has leveled up.]

[The Skill: Overload Lv3 has leveled up.]

[The Skill: Impact Shockwave Lv1 has been unlocked!]

“Oooh! Impact Shockwave?” I mused aloud. “What does this ability do?”

I promptly accessed her status to examine the new skill.

Ah, the stats have surged once more to remarkably high values.

Right, and the skills as well. Let’s take a look.

-----

[Flames of Strength: Lv6]

Type: Active/Passive Hybrid

Skill Proficiency: 0/70,000

Description: The essence of Strength’s spirit manifests as incandescent digital flames enveloping the user’s body and weaponry. These are not conventional elemental fires but condensed System Element energy, burning with pure, raw force.

Effects:

Passive Effect (6): Grants a +120% increase to Raw Power and Impact Force while active.

Active Effect (6): For 150 seconds, infuse all physical attacks with the Flames of Strength, generating collateral shockwaves that inflict splash damage equivalent to 150% of Raw Power.

Resonance Bonus (6): When aligned with Sylphy, the Flames of Strength provide an additional +90% amplification to all Sub-Stats.

Cooldown: 60 seconds.

-----

At Level 6, the acquired skill has proven to be exceptionally potent, offering remarkable bonuses. The cooldown remains a vexing limitation, preventing the continuous application of these abilities, yet its duration steadily diminishes with each level ascended. Perhaps at its maximum level, the cooldown will vanish entirely.

-----

[Overload: Lv4]

Type: Active

Skill Proficiency: 0/50,000

Description: Temporarily elevates Strength beyond its natural limitations by igniting the Sub‑Stats with concentrated digital essence. Overload enhances physical might significantly but imposes a strain on the body and Strength’s soul if employed without caution.

Effects:

Active Effect (4):

Augments Raw Power, Explosive Force, and Impact Force by +200% for 90 seconds.

Significantly bolsters Muscle Density and Bone Reinforcement to mitigate self‑inflicted harm during Overload.

Briefly escalates Resonance, fostering enhanced synchronization between Sylphy and Strength.

Post-effect, Strength enters a Fatigue State for 7 seconds, diminishing Raw Power by 7%.

Cooldown: 120 seconds.

-----

This skill operates similarly. It functions more like a buff, and its cooldown is more restrictive, but it now persists for 90 seconds, not even accounting for the substantial 200% bonus. The weakened state's duration has also been reduced as the skill progresses, which is a tremendous advantage.

And now, the highlight: Impact Shockwave Lv1. Let us observe its capabilities.

-----

[Impact Shockwave: Lv1]

Type: Active

Skill Proficiency: 0/20,000

Description: By channeling Strength's condensed digital essence through a physical strike, the user unleashes a potent shockwave that expands outward from the impact point. This wave discharges raw kinetic force, capable of repelling, staggering, or shattering multiple adversaries in a conical area. The skill harmonizes with other Strength‑oriented abilities, intensifying its effects when paired with Flames of Strength or Overload.

Effects:

Active Effect (1): Upon a successful physical blow (punch, kick, weapon strike, etc.), emit a shockwave spanning an 8‑meter radius. Inflicts 80% of Raw Power as area‑of‑effect blunt damage and applies knockback proportional to the target's mass and resistance. Possesses a probability to stun lighter or less resilient opponents for 2 to 4 seconds.

Resonance Bonus (1): When synchronized with Sylphy, the shockwave acquires supplementary piercing capabilities against armored or crystalline entities, boosting damage by +30% against such foes.

Cooldown: No cooldown.

-----

"No cooldown! And... yes, this sounds devastating. I must test it immediately," I murmured. "Alright Strength, Resonance!"

Strength surged towards me, merging with my being, transforming me into a woman ablaze, radiant and wreathed in the Flames of Strength.

"Master, do you intend to engage in combat? Allow me to lend my aid!"

Naturia detected my presence and swiftly approached, morphing into form-fitting lightweight armor that enveloped my body, providing defense, stat enhancements, and support.

"Very well, we shall rely on our fists for the time being!" I declared with a grin. "Scarlet, Sapphire, provide us with support! All others, advance with me!"

With a resounding war cry, my Familiars charged into the fray alongside me.
