"It looks like my little Nera has become even more of a cheat character. So what, you’re just immune to physical attacks as long as you have SP, huh?" Alchemy smiled.

"So it would seem, Mother Goddess." Nera nodded.

She couldn’t even pretend to be surprised anymore. The system had favorites, and it somehow wasn’t her. Not that it mattered since she benefited from it regardless.

At a glance, the skills were okay. Alchemy wasn’t sure about Nera’s mastery over her weapons, but it seemed plenty, so the first effect of Weapon Master was quite useless. On the other hand, the 30% free damage she got from the Proficiency bonus was handy.

Sentinel’s Knowledge was utterly useless as far as she was aware. The Information was already stored in the pseudo-hive mind...

’Wait. Shouldn’t my memories also be stored in the hive mind? How is this Mental Destruction even happening?’

|<Notice: You cannot access your Pseudo-Hivemind.>|

’Wait, so if I did I could stop it? Is it that easy?’ Alchemy raised one of her brows.

|<Notice: It would help.>|

’Tell me that sooner, you joke of a...’ Alchemy tried to curse the system as she usually did, only to realize that she couldn’t think of an insult to call it.

’I hope your funny bone gets twisted the wrong way. Status.’ She sighed.

"Oh right, here. Take these," Alchemy said, grabbing the Random and Accommodating Skill Shards out of the storage and handling them to Nera.

"These are..."

"Repayment for the necklace. Now, you can’t say I don’t pay my people well," Alchemy interrupted Nera.

"Now go. Finish your final preparations. If you need me for anything, just call."

Nera was about to turn down the gift and suggest that Alchemy use the shards herself, but the emptiness in her mother’s eyes made her hesitate.

"Y-yes. Thank you, Mother Goddess."

As Nera walked away, Alchemy hummed at her new stat.

’I really did get a 5th main stat. It feels strange to look at it,’ she thought as she tapped on it.

|<Aura(Incomplete)>|

|<Type: Stat>|

|<Description: Aura is a unique Spiritual Power born from the self. Aura can be used to reinforce the body to increase attack and defense, impose your will upon reality, or substitute HP/SP/MP/DE for any related techniques.>|

|<Note: Aura can be increased by meditating, physical exercise, or spiritual fulfillment!>|

|<Note: Your Aura is incomplete. Please complete your Aura yourself to gain more bonuses!>|

Alchemy’s eyes narrowed as she examined the description.

’What does it mean that my Aura is incomplete? Am I going to have to go on a spiritual journey? And what does it mean to impose my will upon reality? I can already do that with Miracle Generation once I level the skill up to six, even more so.’

|<Notice: The System is still analyzing Aura. Would you like to be updated when more is discovered?>|

’Yes.’ Alchemy rolled her eyes.

The uncertainty aside, Alchemy was by no means upset about having an extra resource bar, but the system really loved keeping her on edge.

Discarding all of the system notifications, Alchemy looked at Sapphire. She was going to check on the young deer, but seeing how desperately she was running around and helping, Alchemy decided not to bother her.

Instead, she silently entered into her hut. Once she sat on her throne, she immediately closed her eyes, trying to look deep inside herself.

|<Notice: Danger. Meditation is ill-advised!>|

|<Notice: Danger. Meditation is ill-advised!>|

|<Notice: Danger. Meditation is ill-advised!>|

|<Notice: Danger. Meditation is ill-advised!>|

Much to the chagrin of the System.

"Oh, chill out, paperweight." Alchemy sighed.

"You said it yourself, didn’t you? To get rid of this debuff, I need to unseal those memories. The fact that this is happening in the first place shows that meditating is the quickest way to do this."

|<Notice: It is still unadvised.>|

"Yeah, yeah. If I succeed, I’ll extend my life indefinitely. If I fail, I shorten it by a day or so. This isn’t the riskiest thing I’ve done since arriving here. Now shut up."
