Chapter 319 Trying Out The [System Modification] Spell!
-----
My parents and the rest of the adults moved to a tent after breakfast. I really wanted to spy on what they were talking about, but it became impossible as Uncle Arafunn had quickly erected a barrier that nullified noise from coming out of the tent in response to sensing my presence spying on them. Sadly, I lacked the courage of just getting into the tent and listening to them, so I decided to simply delve in my own things.
My mother told me to prepare a lot of things while the adults went there, such as preparing a lot of food inside the spatial bags, clothes, and even money. She told me to ask the help of Aquarina, Zack, Mist, and even Celeste, perhaps in hopes of developing our relationships with one another.
Although Mist was a precious little cinnamon roll that always spoke anything in her mind and therefore was actually quite trustworthy, Celeste didn't. You could easily tell she was hiding things, many things, by merely glancing at her, and the worst part was that she was smart enough to guess you were thinking that, making the wall between her and anybody that tried to get closer to her even larger.
Nonetheless, she seemed willing to help us move the large boxes with food stored inside. It seems my parents decided to donate twenty boxes, which half were bought yesterday in this town, I guess we'll simply buy some more today later.
"Let's see…"
I looked at the three boxes I piled up together as I was about to strengthen my body through magic to carry them with ease, but Alice quickly stopped me and interrupted my conjuration.
"Wait, Sylphy!"
"What is it now?"
"This is the perfect opportunity for you to try out your new Spell, you already used the System Seed Spell once, but you still got the [System Modification] Spell!" Said Alice, as she seemed rather happy about this. I looked at her within my Soul Scape, confused.
"Oh that one, but I don't even know how could I use it? And how can that make me stronger?" I wondered. She quickly began to fly around my astral form within the Soul Scape, she was excited.
"It costs a lot of Mana, but you got an endless source of it! …However, much like other spells, it is limited to a Tier of strength, so to make it stronger, you require more System-Attribute Runes within your Soul's Magic Circle. However, it should be capable of giving you a nice boost!"
"How so?"
"Hehe… Well, in simple terms, this Spell allows you to modify the system's status you have! And even some Skills, although currently, only a bit of the status, you need to make it stronger through runes to unlock more of its power."
"…Wait, I can modify it?! So maybe I can level up?!" I asked.
"Sadly, no, you can't. The System's surface can be modified but it will still be frozen, the main core problems cannot be fixed, what you can do is work with what you already have and simply put… rearrange your own stats." She said.
"But aren't I already developing outside the stats as well? What would it help me to rearrange them if they'll never increase my power as I've been developing my own strength outside of it?" I said. "I remember you told me that my stats would be way higher if the Status wasn't frozen…"
"That's the thing, you can rearrange your stats and receive direct boosts to a certain stat this way!" Said Alice. "Of course, if it wasn't frozen, you would have way more stats to rearrange, but even the little stats you have, which had been frozen since your birth, have become strong, and a part of your total strength, rearrange them and you'll be able to distribute the power of the stats accordingly…! Of course, using this also takes a toll on me, so don't overuse it or I'll pass out and you might not be able to use the spell in a while… okay?"
"Hmm… Sure, let's see then…" I said while doubting how this could even be good.

"These are your current stats… Now use System Modification, and mix and match the numbers together!" Said Alice happily.
"This is a bit… erm, alright, let's see… If I do it once, is it permanent by the way?" I asked before doing anything.
"No, the frozen stats will forcefully go back after a few minutes, so you cannot permanently modify your stats, simply do it when the situation calls for it." Said Alice.
"I see… Alright, huh… [System Modification]!"
FLASH!
In front of me, the System Status suddenly changed, turning of a very bright blue, and almost gaining some three-dimensional visual to it that was very strange and almost dreamy…
"Hmmm… Can I only modify numbers for now? What about the letters themselves? Can I change their meaning?" I wondered.
"As of now… Perhaps you can do it with the Class? But anything else would only throw more errors, so don't try it…" Said Alice.
"Aha! I get it… Let's play a bit."
I quickly began to rearrange numbers, and I even changed the name of the Class just to play around with it, and what came out of it was…

I changed HP and MP thinking that as I had a frozen amount that never ran out, even having 1 of each should be more than enough, right? And then I added it all to strength while changing the Class name to Warrior just to see what happened.
At first, nothing really happened until a button near the Status said [Input]. I pressed that button right away, and suddenly felt as my body started to distort itself!
Crack… CRACK!
"Uagh…!"
