Reincarnated As The Hero’s Daughter: Wait, Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 430: A Mimic Demon's True Powers-----
After checking on Furoh's Status, I saw him jumping around leisurely. I wondered if this amazing shapeshifting power he gained wasn't only just his race's innate power but also the ability he has within his Skills…
-----
[Mimicry: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 188/1000
A special skill that only Mimic Demons possess, it grants them the ability to easily mimic the shape and appearance of something they had seen and registered within their memories, and even be able to use a bit of that form's original powers. The realism and the power it can acquire from each form through mimicry becomes better and stronger as the skill level increases.
-----
[Body Shapeshifting: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 203/1000
A Skill that grants the ability to shapeshift the body as if it were a mere slime made of flesh. Body parts, eyes, mouths, jaws, fangs, claws, wings, and other things can be made as long as the user has consumed such body parts from other living beings and remembers their shapes well, each transformation costs MP, with more complex ones costing even more MP. The higher the level, the less pressure complex transformations put into the body.-----
[Gluttony: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
A Skill that only certain entities can develop. It grants them the power to weaponize their jaws to incredibly deadly levels of power. Not only can jaws shapeshift and enlarge monstrously to bite at three to four times their original strength, but anything devoured can be easily digested no matter what. The power of what's eaten is absorbed by a small amount, and such power helps the user grow stronger by eating. However, overuse of this Skill consecutively might only create even more hunger on the user. With each Skill Level, the power that can be absorbed from what is devoured increases greatly.
-----
[Shadow Blast: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
Only those proficient at Darkness Magic can learn this Skill. By gathering the pure essence of the Darkness and Shadow Element within the user's jaws, unleash a deadly blast of pure magical power that can even ignore 50% of the target's Resistance stat. Additionally, each Skill Leve increases damage dealt by +20%.

A-Amazing… His first two Skills are probably what helps him at shapeshifting and mimicry a beast, while the other two skills are for offense, right? But Gluttony seems a tad bit too overpowered! He can use his jaws to deal some serious damage and even devour things and gain some power from them?! That's a bit insane! Meanwhile, the last skill is a more simple offensive Skill, I suppose. But it still pretty amazing.
"I am happy for you, Furoh…" I sighed with a smile, as I fell over my bed.
As I looked into the ceiling, I realized everything I saw through Furoh and then that mysterious Curse. The memories of the Ancient Demon King… That man was just like anybody else. He wasn't born anywhere grandiose, nor he had any powerful talent. He ended leading countless demons due to the power he forged over many years, and his undying will to defeat the humans that invaded him.
Sigh… Looking back at those ancient times, and then comparing them to the ones right now, I can't help but find very little that is not similar. It feels like history is constantly repeating itself. Demons taking revenge on humans, humans killing demons, demons killing humans back, revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge…
Is… every conflict in this world just an endless cycle of revenge that was provoked by the selfishness of its creators, the Gods and the World?
Do they gain amusement from seeing us fight to the death in an endless cycle? Do they really take this entire conflict seriously when they had seen so many times how everything is constantly repeating itself?
Or… are these Gods and the World's Will itself just… completely foolish just as much as we are? Is the only difference they have from us is their amazing powers and the ability of Creation?
Ugh.
Thinking about this will only make me feel even more frustrated that I can't change a single thing now. The world goes on and on, and it doesn't wait for anybody.
I slowly walked out of bed and looked into the vast night sky.
The stars were shining brightly tonight.
Seeing such beauty after everything I've seen somehow… soothes my heart.
It is a soothing feeling to know that no matter how much I suffer, and no matter how much we all go through, the beauty of this sky, and the brightness of these stars will never cease.
It is… a slightly bittersweet feeling.
What can we change… and what can we not change?
There are certainly things just way too far away from our own grasp…
But… there are also many things within our grasp, just meters or even centimeters away from us which we can change.
But so many people choose not to…
I can't blame them, not everyone is willing to do something so dangerous, it is basic human nature.
Some don't want to change things because they're comfortable as they are, and the problems of others are simply not theirs.
Others choose not to change things out of fear for their lives, or even worse, fear of that the lives of those they love might be taken away from them if they try anything…
At the end, we all still need strength.
Strength so we can convince ourselves we are strong.
Strength so we can tell ourselves we can do it.
Strength so we can think we can make a change.
But looking back at my own parents and the heroes… what did they even accomplish even with their power?
It feels like… nothing changed at all.
It does feels rather hopeless, isn't it?
"Sigh…"
I gently sat over the grasslands, as I looked into the night sky and the beautiful stars shining over the vast cosmos.
I slowly rose my hand, opening my palm, and stretching it as much as I could…
"I wonder if I can change this world… even if a little bit…"
