Reincarnated as the Chapter 378: Levels Upon Levels

Chapter 378: Levels Upon Levels

I felt like kicking my feet as I stared at the huge jump in levels I had ignored until now, feeling slightly petulant as I wanted to continue to ignore them and not worry about dealing with it, but...

I had just had an existential crisis of a minor degree about the worries of not being able to protect my family via my skills, and needing to get stronger; a portion of that strength for

ca directly from the skills, since they were the building blocks of what allowed

to beco strong.

Just having [Blood Magic] wasn't enough; I needed to have an understanding of the skill and be able to use it properly to do anything with it, and I was... I think, anyways, pretty good at figuring out how to best use my new skills...

Pretty sure I was...

So, to start...

[Survival System : 92 -> 102]

[Cooking V : Improves taste, reduces recipe cost by 25%, and grants a random 20% status buff for 8 hours; buff depends on the food cooked (buffs can be toggled on and off if desired)] (2pts)

[Perception : Improves your ability to comprehend the things you see and discern what is 'hidden'] (1pt)

[Magical Perception : Improves your ability to comprehend anything you see that is arcane in nature, be it spells, incantations, enchantnts, etc.] (1pt)

[Arcane Body : Improves Mana Capacity by 25%, Mana Control by 25%, Mana Power by 25%, but reduces HP and Defense by 20%] (6pts)

[Would Host like to rge the skills {Adept}, {Survivor}, {Stoneskin}, and {Mana Control II} into the skill {Arcane Body} to further improve it?]

After spending my points, I stared at the new prompt for a few monts and reread it a few more tis, before accepting the prompt and looking at the new skill that I received.

[{Arcane Body} has been turned into {Lesser Woven Body}]

[Lesser Woven Body : A body woven together loosely by the threads of the Weave grants the owner a closer attunent to Hecata and Morganna. Improves Mana Capacity by 55%, Mana Control by 65%, Mana Power by 55%, but reduces HP and Defense by 10%; additionally, grants a 10% resistance to magical attacks]

Reading that description a few more tis, I blinked and raised a hand, being sure not to jostle around my children as I stared at my hand, which was now being caressed by the threads around , and after activating [Mana Sense], well...

People were already bundles of threads before hand, but they were more so just...roughly in the shape of a person, and I realized it was loosely resembling a nervous system; now though, when I looked at my hand, it was... different.

Before, it was just a random assortnt of threads beneath my skin, mimicking my veins sowhat and just loosely... existing.

Now, my hand itself was comprised of threads, loosely coiled together to beco my bones as well as my veins, which was... surreal to see, at the very least.

That was one of the most interesting run of 10 points I had ever used... and I still had my Breeding System to take a gander at... one that would be... much 'worse'...

[Breeding System : 162 -> 179]

Oh...

Okay.

[Mothers Milk IV : Infuses your breastmilk with healing properties, soothes the body and mind, and grants a 10% buff to physical strength for 1 hour] (2pts)

[Skill Transfer VI : Now select 5 Skills from both systems to grant to your children for a total of 10 Skills; can give 3 Skills from each to designated life partners] (10pts)

[Matriarchs Love IV : Give 3 BS and 2 SS Skills to anyone deed family (note: 'Advanced' skills like {Lesser Woven Body} take up 2 slots)] (2pts)

[Sexual Battler : Can influence those that wish to fight you to instead engage in sex to battle instead; doing so initiates a 'Duel' that requires either party to make the other orgasm 3 tis to 'win', which will make the 'loser' heed the 'winners' orders for 24 hours (note: This is a 'risky' way of battling, and can result in Host becoming a 'slave' should the Host lose; use with caution, and understand that should the Hose lose, your ntal state will be tied to the winner's whims until that 24 hour period is up, aning Host could be ordered to do a LOT of things, however if the Host's willpower is large enough, so orders can be ignored. Please, utilize caution when using this skill.)] (3pts)

Unlike [Matriarchs Domination], [Sexual Battler] was my way to take a battle against soone I wasn't certain I could beat in the normal ways; I an, I was 'strong' with my magics and such - even more so now, of course - but I was far more confident that I could make my 'opponent' cum 3 tis instead of having to kill them.

The problem ca from the fact that I was entirely... on a 'hair trigger' when it ca to sex, aning I could be made to cum rather easily as well, especially if my partner was doing their best to beat

into submission...

Like when I had been forced to bear Kalia because of Yiksa; when she had raped , my skills - the ones that I was 'born' with in this world - worked against

and made my body love how aggressive and deaning that kind of sex was, even if my mind hated every single mont of it.

My body was being pleasured when she raped , but I wanted to kill her at that ti, to remove her from the world and try to 'purify' myself of that injustice through her blood.

That was the risk that [Sexual Battler] ran for , because my body would love each second of being raped, but I would hate it as it happened; but, now I had a chance to save myself and 'win' a fight I had no right to win, just like back then.

If I had this skill back then, I could have 'beaten' Yiksa when she forced herself inside , and things might have turned out different with this skill... it was a nice insurance policy, and hopefully one I would never need to use.

Perhaps I needed to ask Sari to start 'training'

to not cum even when I want to; orgasm deprivation seems like a rather fun thing to get into, and I am certain she has experience in that field...

That would be my way to prepare myself for those battles, and if I could learn to hold my orgasms at bay, I could easily win against my partners; won or futa, so long as I never had to battle with my own cock.

I still wasn't the most adept at lasting longer than a minute or so with my cock, and if I was battling soone with it... the nerves would probably make

cum quicker as we battled for domination.

My thoughts drifted, and I went to close my eyes and drift off into sleep, only to shoot upright as I heard the sound of Camara shouting in pain and surprise in the middle of the night, her voice echoing throughout the house and rousing everyone from their slumber.
