The moment I drank the spring water to awaken my Mana Core, my Mana Core within my chest began to gleam with light.

Eerie light.

You see… it was not the usual colors.

I've seen this before, in various books, usually depending on the color of your Mana Core, you get a different Attribute.

Usually, red is fire, blue is water, green is wind, brown is earth, yellow is light, and so on…

My father is a Rank 6 Life Attribute Cultivator, my mother is a Rank 6 Nature Attribute Cultivator, and my brother is a Rank 1 Peak Stage Fire Attribute Cultivator, a rare attribute amongst elves, which gives him a bright future as a strong offensive long-ranged attacker.

And me? I don't know.

It's weird, I don't feel like I have any of that cool talent like my family… In fact, I feel empty.

Everyone who was so expectant of me keeps glaring at me.

At the very least, I feel like I am never running out of Mana.

My aura keeps flowing and it never tires me out.

However, the glares of everyone keep for a while, all in silence.

The elves open their eyes wide open, something very rare to see as they always hold calm appearances.

My father and mother quickly move towards me.

"This must be a mistake… Bring the crystal ball!" said my father, as Rose, my personal maid brought a crystal ball and put it over a desk.

"A-Alma, my dear, will you touch the crystal ball?" asked my mother.

I didn't say a single word as I obeyed in silence, nodding, and touching the crystal ball with my hand.

The crystal ball began to suck my mana like crazy, as it showed several numbers constantly rising.

However, there was also a sign, it was like a block [ ].

"Eh? S-She really has no attribute…?!" asked my father in shock.

"Why- Eh?! But her mana keeps increasing! Is it… never-ending or something?!" asked my mother.

My brother's eyes opened wide open. It seems that my lack of attribute brought disappointment to everyone, but right after that, my Infinite Mana kicks in and surprises everyone anyways.

The elves around us began to ask what was going on, but many already figure out that I had no attribute, but not that my Mana was never-ending yet.

The elves became nervous, some others glanced at me with different expressions, as if I was somehow disgusting to them…

"She has no attribute, my lord?"

"How can this be…"

"The young princess has… no attribute?!"

"Someone that lacks an attribute is someone that has not been blessed by the world's natural elements…"

"No Attribute Magic is also incredibly costly to use due to the lack of an attribute to attune to the mana of the user…"

"And is also very weak. Perhaps some spells can be strong, but no No-Attribute Magus has ever done anything worth mentioning…"

"No-Attribute? Perhaps Prince Callon with his rare Fire Attribute might be more suitable for the heir…"

"Poor Princess Alma…"

As I kept hearing their stupid comments of pity I couldn't help but grow more and more angered… Just who do these bastards think they are to speak to me and my family like this?!

My rage overflows out of my body, as my infinite mana becomes like a wave of endless power, crushing the crystal ball whose number was already reaching millions, my parents were watching over it as their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets!

Crack… crack!

CRASH!

The crystal ball shatters into pieces, as the two are surprised by what they just saw.

"I might have No-Attribute but… I will make up for it!" I said, my parents and every elf glances at me with mixed expressions, albeit most of them look at me with pity as if my future was already lost.

My parents suddenly cover my mouth from saying another word, it seems that they want to hide the fact of my Mana being immense.

In the end, the ceremony ended with a lot of bitter feelings with everyone around… and rumors about my No-Attribute Mana Core began to spread around the entire Aberon Nation.

What a pain… Now I am seen as a failure.

However, I had a meeting with my parents that night.

They seemed to be… concerned about something.

Something that was way worse than No-Attribute.

But why? Isn't having infinite mana absolutely amazing?

Why are they so worried about it?

"Alma… How much Mana do you possess?" asked my father.

"Eh? I have… I don't know…" I said.

My mother sighed, as she petted me.

"Before the crystal broke… you had over a million Mana, Alma, that's not normal for a non-awakened like you!" said my mother.

"Is there some problem? Wouldn't it be good to have a lot of mana?" I asked.

"No, I mean… it is not a bad thing," said my father.

"The bad thing is what we think the origin from that infinite mana comes from…" said my mother.

My father and mother were both Rank 6, they were at the pinnacle of mortals, perhaps all around the world, they were in the last Rank before undergoing what's called Immortal Ascension, anyone at Rank 7 becomes an immortal.

So that they talked like this meant that they knew that the origin of such power might be something dangerous…

After all, they had lived for hundreds of years and had gathered a lot of information throughout their lives. They had just recently decided to settle down and have children.

Do they know about Unique Skills then? Is this what they think I have? Because it is…

"What… do you think it is?" I asked.

My parents glanced at each other as they sat around me.

"Alma, do you know anything regarding… Unique Skills?" asked my father.

Eh? They know! Do they actually know?! I thought this was a super-secret cheat I had for myself!

So… are there more like me spread all around the world or something? More… cheat Skill users?!

Certainly, these are not good news…

What sorts of insane powers could other people have wished for?

And if it were made in mass… then this entire world could have been shaped by them!
