Tanky Mage System

Reincarnation!

I died just like that?

Gurney looked at this sight in disbelief.

At this moment, upon death, his vision seemed to be fixed at 45 degrees downward.

The scene before him was gray-white, and there was an overwhelming quantity of mist and fog around him.

The scene that he was seeing was the Blood Magic Totem room that he was in when inheriting the Bloodcaster class.

Right now, because of the peculiar curse of the Blood Magic Totem, his blood boiled, and his heart exploded. He was now a corpse lying in the blood pool.

Looking at his own corpse was truly a strange sight.

I died earlier, but now, I became like this.

Gurney wanted to look around but he found that he was completely immobilized.

Is it due to the system?

System!

Gurney willed.

Immediately, the system page materialized before Gurney’s eyes.

As expected!

After looking at it, Gurney sighed to himself.

At this moment, on the system menu, Other than the two functions, [Passive Farming] and [Special Encounter], a third function had appeared — [Reincarnation].

Back then, when I was near the three-hundred-year-old dragon source fruit, I awakened the [Special Encounter] function.

And right now, it seems that after dying… I awakened this [Reincarnation] function!

Reincarnate!

Gurney held some anticipation and joy as he pressed on the page of this [Reincarnation] function.

[Reincarnation]

By “reincarnating” after death, one can turn all negative conditions, curses, memetics, mutations, or even abnormal symptoms of the regular body into one’s own supernatural talent, and obtain corresponding resistances against them.

After revival, one’s mental power, physical body, origin force, and all things related to strength will be condensed and purified. However, one’s own power level will fall by a certain extent.

Current Number of Reincarnations Left: 6

…

After repeatedly looking at this [Reincarnation] function, Gurney could not help but praise it internally,

This is… another heaven-defying function!

Undeniably, this [Reincarnation] was a powerful function not inferior to [Passive Farming] and [Special Encounter].

Or in some sense, [Reincarnation] was even stronger.

Firstly, it could be used as a type of revival or resurrection. This was already confirmed by what happened earlier to Gurney. Just this alone was heaven-defying. After all, even in mythologies and legends, when the various Pantheons faced the Twilight of the Gods, they sank into demise without being able to revive.

Even legendary existences could not revive, but Gurney could. And other than revival, the comprehensive ability of this function was also extremely powerful.

[Reincarnation] was able to turn negative effects into the user’s own “supernatural talent”. There was nothing else to say; just this point alone would allow Gurney to walk on the unrestrained path of doing anything he wanted.

Of course, with Gurney’s nature, he would not toy around with his life, but this would give him enough confidence to face those mysterious existences or supernatural disasters.

Even though there was the slight drawback of losing his current level of power, but regarding the point of “mental power, physical body, origin force and all things related to strength will be condensed and purified”, Gurney thought about it and immediately realized the power of this aspect.

In many passive farming games, the point of reincarnation is to convert all of one’s current level and stats into bonus attributes when the character is stuck at a certain stage. That way, when restarting, the amount of time needed to farm would be much lower.

The condensation of mental power carries the same logic for a Spellcaster like me.

In the future, as I continue on my Transcendent road, I can use this [Reincarnation] function to condense and purify my mental power, allowing it to cross certain bottlenecks and hurdles more easily. Crossing those hurdles is the life-long dream of many Transcendents.

After inspecting, thinking, and analyzing the situation, Gurney had fully calmed down.

This reincarnation function was his greatest hidden trump card at this moment. If he had not died once, he would not have unlocked it.

Calming himself, Gurney looked at the description of this reincarnation function again.

Converting curses into my own talent?

Earlier, that terrifying bloody and dark curse had great power. It was simply too overwhelming, directly destroying my heart.

That twisted and evil curse of darkness should not be the same as the Bloodcaster curse.

In that case, this means that the Bloodcaster class’s own blood curse had already been inherited by my body earlier. Which is to say, my body contains two curses now. One is the Bloodcaster curse, and the other is the bloody and dark curse.

And after I died, I should “automatically reincarnate” now.

In that case, the terrifying curse that killed me as well as the blood curse would both be converted by my system into my own supernatural talents. This means that the Bloodcaster curse has also been resolved.

This is truly out of my expectations.

Gurney smiled as he thought of something else.

But others do not know that I have resolved the Bloodcaster’s curse. If they really think of attacking me during the night of the blood moon… I can make use of it.

Even though he could revive immediately… Gurney did not do that.

He waited at this spot where he was floating in a fixed place with a fixed vision.

After more than ten minutes, Gurney looked at his surroundings vigilantly.

The gray fog has gotten much denser than earlier.

This reincarnation function is not without limit. I need to use it within a certain time frame.

I wonder what will happen if I died from dismemberment or got eaten by some wild beasts. Or even, if someone turned me into ash and scattered my remains into the sea, what would happen?

With the system’s power, it would likely use a logical method for me to revive. I can only explore the details in the future.

Next, Gurney pressed the button beside the number “6” on the [Reincarnation] tab.

Gurney’s vision started to move closer to his body.

Six reincarnations coincide with the six months that I’ve been in this world. Through instinct, I know that this reincarnation number can be increased. This is great news!

Inside the blood pool of the Blood Magic Totem.

Tick tick…

Gurney who was bathed in blood stood up abruptly.

“Cough cough…”

When he died, he fell into the blood pool, so a lot of blood went into his nose. Thus, after reviving, Gurney felt terrible.

After coughing for some time, Gurney could finally breathe normally again.

After slightly cleaning up his body which was bathed in blood and looked terrible, Gurney inspected his own condition.

The spells that were placed in the farming slots had no change in level.

He had four silent cast runes; there were no changes.

He had three multi-cast runes; there were no changes as well.

However, his mental power, physical body strength, and origin force had changed.

“My origin force has clearly fallen by about twenty percent, but the density of my origin force has evidently increased by ten percent. Raising the capacity of one’s origin force is relatively easy, but the density of the origin force is extremely hard to raise. Many Transcendents are unable to create dense origin force, but I can do that through reincarnation. This is really a powerful effect.

“Similarly, my body’s physical strength has also fallen. Even including my flesh density, they have all fallen by around twenty percent, but my physical body feels extremely refreshed now. Even my movements are more agile than before. This is because my body’s talent has risen.

“With the rise in my body’s talent, when I undergo passive farming, the growth of the body will become even faster. The upper limit has been raised too.

“And finally…”

Gurney’s expression became much more serious.

“The most important thing is my mental power.”

Gurney rubbed his temples lightly.

Mental power, in today’s supernatural research world, had been sub-classified into many different attributes.

Among which, the most important ones were mental power quality and mental power quantity. Mental power quality represented the fragility and hardiness of one’s mental power. High-quality mental power was like a metal bowl; it could not be easily destroyed. Low-quality mental power was like tofu, easily smashed to bits.

Mental power quantity very obviously meant the quantity of mental power that one had. It was not to be underestimated. If someone had an extremely high quantity of mental power, it would overflow and create a “spiritual consciousness”, greatly raising the person’s perception.

At the same time, with a strong spiritual consciousness, the person would have precise control over their spells. In fact, even after casting spells, they could slightly adjust the flying direction, causing attacks to become more accurate.

As for those who had a low quantity of mental power, they could not become mages.

Right now, Gurney’s mental power quality and quantity had both fallen by 20%, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

“My origin force and body have sacrificed the less important attributes through reincarnation to raise my potential and elevate the core traits.

“As for mental power, in terms of quality and quantity, they are extremely important aspects of mental power, yet they were still weakened. That is to say, whatever potential that got elevated is something deeper that I cannot currently sense or perceive regarding my mental power.

“Even though my mental power quality and quantity fell by twenty percent, I can feel that my senses and perception have gotten clearer than before. At the same time, the seven runes that are inscribed through my mental power are giving off even less pressure now, and I can handle them with greater ease.

“Other than that, the powerful curse has been converted into my body’s supernatural talent, as well as gaining some sort of resistance. I cannot perceive the increase in talent for the time being. It will only make itself known after some time when I’ve undergone more cultivation and learning.

“As for the supernatural resistances, they will only be displayed when I face an attack of the corresponding negative trait.

“In conclusion… this reincarnation caused my ‘quantity’ to fall, but my ‘quality’ has risen. This is also in line with the trait of reincarnation. After all, quality is far more important than quantity.

“My strength has not fallen by too much. Of course, this might be because I was relatively weak to begin with. In the future, when I get stronger, each reincarnation will weaken me more severely.”

After closely inspecting the changes in his body, Gurney’s last bit of worry and doubt vanished altogether.

“Regardless, the revival through [Reincarnation] can only be kept as a trump card. I cannot try to abuse it and disregard my own life.

“I need to be more stable. I need to be more careful!”
