By the way, I also checked the HELP for the other items.

[MP:
Required for magic and other actions that consume MP. The corresponding amount of MP is consumed.
If there isn’t enough MP for the cost, the magic won’t activate, and the MP value will drop to 0.
Generally, if the remaining MP falls below 30% of the maximum, it negatively affects the mind, and if the MP value hits 0, unbearable pain follows, leading to unconsciousness.
The usual recovery method is sleep, but the amount restored varies by individual.**]

[Remaining Points:
Increases by 1 each time the level rises by 1. Needed to acquire new skills and magic.**]

[Acquisition List:
A list of magic and skills that can be obtained using points. This list may expand based on your level, the level of magic and skills you’ve already acquired, or combinations of existing magic and skills.
If [Acquire] is displayed, it means you can obtain it from there.**]

By the way, I also checked the HELP for Time Leap and Time Reversal in the acquisition list, but all it said was:

[A magic that leaps (or reverses) time. The effect is a surprise for you to discover.]

So, I still didn’t really get it.

Well, it only costs 1 point, and I only have 1 point. Plus, Time Leap just sounds cool. I have to take it. Here goes—click.

[You have learned Time Leap.]

Alright. Maybe I’ll check the details in the status screen.

But wait, what even is Time Leap? If it were Spatial Leap, it’d probably be teleportation, but what does “leaping through time” mean? I only just started wondering about it as I checked Time Leap in the list of available magics.

Time Leap: Lv 0 | MP Cost: 0 (0/1000)

Huh, so it starts at Lv 0? Now that I think about it, Time, halt was Lv 0 too.

What’s really confusing is the MP Cost: 0.
It can’t just be because it’s Lv 0—otherwise, I’d be able to use Time, halt at Lv 0 infinitely. Whatever. For now, I’ll check the HELP.

[Time Leap Lv 0:
Effect: A time-leaping magic at Lv 0. MP Cost: 0. Leap Duration: 20 minutes. Reuse Time: 0 minutes. MP Recovery Effect: 1% of max MP.
Main Text: It leaps through time. Your own time stops while only time leaps (passes) forward.
Description: Use it when you’re bored out of your mind and just want time to pass. Before you know it, time will have flown by!
As a secondary effect, it recovers MP. But be careful—decimal values in recovered MP are rounded down.
Oh, and you can stack it as much as you want! For example, if you set it to 10 uses at once, you’ll leap 200 minutes into the future. Amazing, amazing, good for you!**]

……Hey.

You give it a cool name like Time Leap, but it’s just a way to pass time and recover a tiny bit of MP?! Shouldn’t it be called Time Pass or Meditation or something?

Hmm, Meditation actually sounds kinda cool. But 1%?! My max MP right now is 20, so at minimum, I’d need 5%—meaning I’d have to use it five times (100 minutes) just to recover 1 MP, and anything less just gets rounded down to nothing!

And recovering 1 MP in 100 minutes? Sleeping is way more efficient!

Well, I guess it’s good to have a way to recover MP during the day.
And maybe it’s usable on sleepless nights?
If the performance improves a bit as the level increases, it might become viable… but right now, I’d need 20,000 minutes—about 14 days—to level it up once.

……It says “Your own time stops”, but what happens to me during that period?
I can’t use it properly if I don’t know that. But I can’t check it myself either. What am I supposed to do with this?!

Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Why is none of this time magic usable?!
