Reborn: No Care's

Enhanced herself

Eren winced as she continued to call him a traitor.

But he could understand.

He hurt his sister a lot. He would have to do more to make things right and get rid of that shameful nickname that reminded him of his failure as a brother.

"I will fight back... but... I know I need help to think clearly when it comes to Selene. I have no right to ask this of you, but please, sister, continue to protect me from her curse."

Eliz stared at him, not understanding.

The curse? Selene? Didn't the boys just have their thighs set on fire? Eliz became serious and thought of one of the tasks she had received.

She was to find out the truth behind the story of Everybody Loves Selene.

She had not thought much about it before, but now Eren's behavior began to make more sense. Had he noticed something?

Could it be that Selene was not just simply charming but... had some kind of power?

Eliz decided to take advantage of this. How could she pass up such an opportunity?!

She reached out towards her brother and put both of her hands on Eren's shoulders.

"As your dutiful sister, how could I do anything but promise to continue to protect you, dear brother? But you must follow and obey me. Otherwise, I cannot promise anything. Do you understand?" she said with as much gentleness in her voice as possible.

Tears of emotion glistened in Eren's eyes;

he lowered his head and just nodded in agreement.

Right then a system communicate with Eliz, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Eren." Eliz thanked him, mentally congratulating herself on how easily she had captured Eren.

Eliz was thrilled with her new reward. She had expected it to simply acknowledge her ownership.

In truth, she had not expected the system to change her reward.

Instead, she got a different reward. She got to pick between unlocking mana or learning the basics of combat.

Eliz knew this was a magical world, even if the story was more about court matters.

Magic existed here, as did monsters or other races, such as elves and dwarves, even if they were rarer and demons.

Who else should the protagonist and male lead fight if not the demon king? If anyone followed Eliz's thoughts, they had to nod in agreement.

Demon king. What a cliché!

Eliz did not immediately choose a reward and instead looked at the Achievements she had obtained.

The next thing that surprised her was that it had given her several bonuses thanks to it.

But... did they have to be such creepy bonuses?

The kids would be fine, but what if some pervert who liked to play younger siblings and older sister was going to hang on to her!?

Eliz stayed with Eren for a while and gave him instructions.

And she took his pocket money. Not because she was an evil sister who bullied her timid brother. But because she did not want him to try to bribe anyone when he got some ridiculous idea that he desperately needed to see Selene.

Next, she sought out the head butler and ordered him to make sure she received all the letters for Eren and that he was forbidden visitors.

He must always be accompanied if he wanted to walk around the mansion. The detox had begun.

Eliz was determined not to hesitate. She ordered a carriage, as she urgently needed to run some errands in town.

At that moment, Alobela appeared beside her like a ghost and uncompromisingly led her to her room, where she was not only dressed in more luxurious clothes but also forced to swallow a spoonful of medicine.

Eliz refused, but Alobela calmly reminded her that she had fainted the day before.

Alobela was a tough nut to crack. She could not get past her, no matter how hard she tried to argue.

Finally, she swallowed the medicine and endured another change of clothes.

At least this time, she got a lovely dark blue dress with a light purple petticoat and a bodice that showed off her cleavage slightly and attractively.

Her necklace remained, but Alobela added earrings with a purple gemstone in the shape of a blooming rose.

Her hair was elegantly brushed into a low chignon, and she adorned it with a net of tiny pearls.

Eliz had to admit that the sight might even charm herself. She had looked good before. But now she could really easily take someone's breath away.

'If only it was not so much work!'

The carriage was pulled up, and her guard was ready. Eliz was not surprised; after all, it was typical for a young, wealthy, and unmarried woman to have a bodyguard.

Eliz glanced at her guard, who was older and more experienced.

She nodded to her satisfaction.

She certainly did not need a young man drooling over her.

She bowed slightly to the knight in greeting, noting the insignia on his leather armor as a sign of gratitude for his company.

He was an Enhanced Warrior of the 2nd Rank. Good enough.

Before she got in, she told the coachman where she was going.

"Take me to a shop called Enhanced and Prime." She said before being helped into the carriage.

The guard stood on a small platform in the back of the carriage.

Eliz breathed a sigh of relief. Now she could calmly decide what she would choose as a reward.

She opened the window, notifying her of the completed task again.

Unlock mana or combat basics.

Those were her options. Both were good; if she could have both, it would be absolutely perfect.

That way, she could become an Enhanced Warrior just like her guard. It was not exactly a unique concept, but Eliz liked it. In this world, there were five classes.

Four combat classes and one non-combat class. Enhanced Runner, Enhanced Defenders, Enhanced Warriors, and Enhanced Mages. The non-combat class was the Maker class. Each of the classes had its advantages and disadvantages.

Enhanced Mages focused mainly on ranged combat, and although they could use offensive spells, they were mainly used as support since their casting speed was slower. Enhanced Defenders, on the other hand, concentrate on close combat and defense. Enhanced Warriors, on the other hand, had weaker defenses, but their attacks were more devastating and wide-ranging. Enhanced Runners focus on fast and accurate attacks; both ranged and melee. These classes also had subclasses.

The Enhanced Defender class included Guardians, Shield Bearers, Conquerors, and others that focused specifically on defense and resistance.

The Enhanced Mage class included Summoners, Casters, Healers, and similar classes.

Enhanced Warriors have subclasses such as Attackers, Berserkers, Lancers, Riders, and others.

Enhanced Runner subclasses are Archers, Assassins, Snipers, and anything focused on speed.

Finally, there are the Makers. Not everyone focuses on combat; this class focuses on crafting, such as Blacksmith Makers, Goldsmith Makers, Artifact Makers, etc.

All of these classes have one thing in common.

And that is that they control mana.

Of course, there are still those who are healers, warriors, and common blacksmiths or carvers.

The author only mentioned them a little because they were not necessary to the story and were weak compared to the Enhanced ones, and there just had to be a power hierarchy.

Ordinary people without mana and Enhanced people with mana. For this reason, there were the ranks. The higher a person's rank was, the more powerful they were and the larger the mana pool and better the control they had over their mana.

A person's class depends on how they use their mana.

Enhanced Mages send out mana from their body, which is very difficult, and therefore there are fewer Enhanced Mages because they need to have high mana control.

Enhanced Runners use mana for their speed, reflection, and thinking speed because if the brain did not keep up with the body, they would be more like a rag doll where the head does not know where the limbs are.

Enhanced Defenders use mana for their muscles, bones, regeneration, and armor.

Enhanced Warriors also put mana into their muscles but use the rest for their weapons, which thus gain sharpness and penetrating power and can perform various attacks through the weapon.

And Makers, in turn, put mana into items that give them various attributes, such as increased defense, luck, long-distance communication...

Eliz did not know much about how the Makers worked. This is also the author's fault because none of the main characters had anything to do with them. She only knew what they could do but not how.

When she thought about it, she could only assume that it had to do with what material they were using. She would have to look at it more closely to have a vague idea of how it worked.

Of course, all the main characters had access to mana. Gray and Chad were Warriors, Donovan was a Defender, and Eren was a Runner.

Even her brother Eren. And so was Selene.

How could she be anything but an Enhanced Mage Healer? And Elizabeth? A schemer.

Eliz had not thought much about it when she read the novel; after all, the author had done so many stupid things, but why was Elizabeth the only one who did not have awakened mana?

Eliz thought about it for a while but could not think of an explanation.

Instead, she focused on the selection again. There was not that much for her to think about. She could learn to fight by herself, but awakening mana was the hard part. So she decided on Mana Unlock.
