I got transmigrated as the female lead

”Our Weiss is so cute, isn she, my darling? ”

The man who is supposed to be my father, turned his head to my mother, fawning over me.

We were sitting in the dining hall, eating dinner together, and I just watched the two love birds interacting with each other, while my elder brother ignored them, continuing to eat his meal.

”Yes, my love! ” My mother responded in an affectionate voice, clasping her hands together as she joined in. ”Yes, she looks just like you, my love! ”

”No, she looks like you! ”

”No, like you! ”

I rolled my eyes, suppressing the urge to puke, as I watched my parents talking about me.

Why couldn they just agree that I resembled both of them?

I, just like my brother, got blue eyes from my mother and white hair from my father, thus inheriting the best traits of both of them.

”How are your studies? ”

Ignoring my parents, my brother asked, without raising his head, not even bothering to look at me.

”…Around average, I guess.. ”

Not knowing how her studies really are, I chose to respond as loosely as possible.

”Thats certainly an understatement. ”

My brother, whose name seemed to be Flake, raised his head, locking eyes with me.

We certainly were siblings.

”Ive asked your instructors personally, and they all say that you are a genius. ”

Resting his head on his open palm, he then formed a smile, looking at me with an affectionate gaze as his prior icy expression vanished.

”You don have to be so humble, you know? ”

”…a..alright.. ”

Cracking a stiff smile, I nodded.

I didn know anything about her childhood, so I was basically just bullshitting my way through the conversation.

However, the fact that he called me a genius made me recall an important memory.

Thinking about it now it made sense.

”Status, ” I said, barely loud enough to be considered a whisper.

Instantly, a blue window appeared in front of my nose, showcasing all of my information to me.

However, I only focused on one part of my status window.

[Genius]

One of the things that were listed under my characteristics.

I had already theorized that characteristics were a part of the original Weiss, but I hadn considered the option, that I could use it as a rough guideline on how to behave yet.

Not only that, but I had already started to realize some of the effects of the characteristics.

While I still possessed my original personality, I could already feel that there were some slight alterations, as it was probably getting mixed with my characteristics.

For example, I tended to speak in an icy voice, as if I was not interested at all, even if it wasn my original intention.

Although I could still avoid that if I really tried, monotone and icy had just become my normal tone of voicing.

My eyes trailed over to one of my characteristics, guessing that it was one of the reasons why I behaved that way.

[Ice Queen]

Sighing, I mentally moved my status window to the corner of my view, before starting to focus my attention on the conversation with my brother again.

”You know… ” He said, after finishing his wood and wiping his mouth with a white napkin, every one of his moves looking dignified. ”…don overwork yourself. ”

”Yes, brother. ”

I see.

I probably had a strong tsundere brother, who later joins the party of the hero.

At least thats what I had guessed from his behavior.

His cold attitude reminded me of those silent types of characters that everyone liked and turned out to be the rivals of the protagonist.

However, in reality, such characters are often tsunderes and really warm-hearted inside, but they hide all that behind an icy facade.

I think.

Its just the vibe that he gave off, but I dropped the novels only around a hundred chapters in, so I wasn sure if he ever appeared in the story.

Although, judging by the fact that he looked really similar to me AND looked handsome, it was pretty safe to assume that he was some important character at least.

Wait.

Speaking about character, I wondered if that would work…

Theoretically, it should work, but it would be just way too broken if it actually worried, wouldn it?

However, I literally had a system, so it was fair to assume that it was possible that I gained some pretty broken abilities.

Moving my gaze to my brother, I tried to use [Reading] on him.

To my surprise, it only took a few seconds until a window appeared in front of my eyes.

Gotcha.

14?

Damn, I thought you were like 25 or something.

Anyway, it seemed like I was right, although there was a thing that still bothered me.

Looking at his status window made me confirm some of my suspicions, but there was a thing, maybe even the most important thing, that I still didn get.

How exactly did stats work?

As I didn see any stat points that I could store anywhere, there was no way for me to raise my stats in my current state, was there?

However, when I first opened my status, Weiss already seemed to have 10 intelligence and 5 mana.

I wonder…

”Status, ” I whispered again.

Maybe something slipped past me.

================

——Stats——

Strength: 1

Agility: 1

Stamina: 1

Durability: 1

Mana: 6

Intelligence: 11

================

Analyzing my stats, I found out that something about them had changed already.

Even without using any stat points, my intelligence and my mana had risen by one.

I furrowed my eyebrows, pondering about what the reason couldve been.

”…Weiss? ”

However, the voice of my brother snapped me out of my thoughts.

Slowly, I raised my head, facing him with my gaze.

”Yes? ”

Although I could still spot some glimpses of doubt in his eyes, he shook his head, simply dismissing whatever he thought about.

”No, you were just looking so out of it. ”

Even though his voice sounded cold and monotone, I could still feel the worry and affection that was hidden inside his sentence.

”I see. ” Nodding my head, I decided to stand up.

I had better things to do than waste my time spending dinner with my new family.

Admittedly, I was quite curious about my new family, but I prioritized the system over family bonding for now.

After all, the probability of the system saving my ass in the future was quite high.

Bowing my head, I tried to recite the words of aristocratic characters Id read in the past.

”Father, mother, brother. Ill excuse myself. ”

While I knew that it wasn perfect, I hoped that my exit was good enough.

…I see…

”It is quite unfortunate that this system doesn talk to me like all the other systems do. ” Mumbling, I stroked my lips, as I used [Reading] to further analyze my system. ”It is quite tricky… ”

While Ive read plenty of system novels, Id never seen a system like this.

It just had way too many hidden mechanics, that weren explained to me by the system.

Though I couldn really complain, as I possessed [Reading].

The reason why there was no stat point was that the only thing that limited my stat growth was my level.

In the usual case, stats were normally capped by the level.

For example, if one was level 7, the highest your stats can go is also 7.

However, there is also a thing that I called unbounded stats.

Unbounded stats were stats that weren bound by the level and could be heightened regardless of what level you are.

While I still wasn a hundred percent sure about that, I guessed that characteristics also had a major effect on what stats of yours was unbounded.

For example, my characteristic [Genius] probably played a part in my unbounded intelligence stat and my characteristic [Talented] in my unbounded mana stat.

Stats were seemingly raised by normal training, instead of stat points, which was quite disappointing to me.

Seems like my journey to absolute power would be a little more tedious than I expected.

Another thing Ive noticed was that stats also didn reflect on how strong someone is, as they don scale linearly.

I realized that when I compared the mana capacity of me and my brother. If he were to his mana capacity would scale the same as mine does, his mana capacity wouldve been 1.400 by now.

However, it only reached 960, which was significantly less than my scaling.

That in turn meant, that level didn mean shit in some cases.

”Haah… ”

Sighing, I threw myself onto my bed, burying my face into my pillow.

”This is exhausting… ”

It was too much for me to take in, and I had already depleted my mana anyway, so trying to dig further into my system was a waste of time for now.

”Lets just take a little break… ”

By using [Reading] too much, I could already feel the incoming headache.

However, I couldn catch a break, as right when I tried to take a nap, a knocking sound resounded from my door.

Knock— Knock— Knock—

Rolling my eyes, I responded with an irritated voice.

”Who is there? ”

”Its me. ” The sound of my brother came from the other side of the door. ”Ive wanted to pick you up. You asked me to bring you with me the next time I go hunting, didn you? ”

”Hunting? ”

”Yeah, you asked me to bring you with me. Have you already forgotten? ”
