Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

'Ah!! I didn't manage to do it in time.' Ning lamented as he watched the sunrise above the horizon. It had been over 10 days since he started absorbing the Yin energy as heat.

Every time he used his Yin to Heat conversion technique, he would spend a few minutes to reach the energy cap for the day. Starting with the time he reached the cap, he would then have a 24 hours period where he couldn't absorb anything else.

After 10 days of continuous conversion and absorption, he had reached a moment in time where the 24 hours weren't over even though the sun was already up.

The group of people started to kneel down on their knees and pray to their god in the sky. Hyesi did too.

Hyesi walked away from the group and walked towards the forest. He had tried the 'Falling from the tree without pain' test a few times already and had realized that he had in fact become very strong.

"Thank you for helping me today as well, Inikaka." Hyesi was genuinely happy with how strong he had become. In just 10 days, he was starting to catch up to some of the adults.

"You don't have to worry child. I did what I promised. You helped me earlier, so it is my turn to help you."

"But I have received more help than I gave, Inikaka. Please tell me what I can do for you and I will do it," Hyesi even fell onto his knees and banged his head on the ground.

'Hmm…' Ning started to think of what he would require next. 'The moment I get a body, I would stand out in this group. I should find myself a separate place to live until I can get strong enough to leave this place. '

"Alright, here is what you need to do." Ning started to give him orders regarding his next set of tasks. Hyesi immediately got on it.

Ning on the other hand decided to think of ways to gain more energy so he could speed up the process. 'Hmm… do I have enough for increasing the cap?' he wondered.

'Status'.

'Hmm… it has in fact been 10 days. So 25 million is accurate. But still, it quite amazing seeing so much energy at once.' Ning felt a little excited when thinking that he had done basically nothing and increased his energy so much.

'Ahh... Yin to Heat conversion technique is the best decision I have ever made. System, how much is the energy gain cap price again?' he asked.

<Double the Cap with 25 million Heat Energy>

<Double the cap with 25 million Sound Energy>

'Ah, right. I only absorbed heat for the last 10 days, so the energy amount must be enough, right? System, Buy the double cap with 25 million Heat energy.'

<Buying it will double your energy cap, are you sure?>

'Oh, it seems I have enough energy. Yes, buy it.'

<Confirmed>

<Energy gain cap has increased from 2.5 Million to 5 million>

'Ah, nice. Do the price for future energy gain change now system?' he asked.

<Prices for Energy gain cap increase have been modified>

<Double the Cap with 250 million Heat Energy>

<Double the cap with 25 million Sound Energy>

'Ah, only the one I used to buy increased in amount. That should be enough. I should look into buying the next cap with 25 million sound energy. Although that might take a lot to gather.'

Ning wondered if he should buy the Yin to sound conversion technique as well, but that seemed like a bad idea. 'Nah, it costs too much, and I already have the heat one.'

'So now that I have another 2.5 million energy I can gather, should I do it now? Or wait for tomorrow morning?' he couldn't decide.

'Ah, whatever. I will do it now, it's not like I will have to gather when Hyesi is cultivating. As long as I gather the yin out of his body, that should be enough,' he thought.

Ning decided to start right there. Immediately, yin energy started to gather around the stone he inhabited.

"Inikaka?" Hyesi was startled as he was on his way to do what Ning had asked. Getting no response, he decided to wait for a while.

Ning on the other hand was focused at the moment. Slowly the coldness around him turned to heat as he started gaining energy. However, the energy he gained was very low compared to what he got in the morning with Hyesi.

'Hmm… is it because I already absorbed most of his Yin this morning that I am not getting any? Not even the surrounding has that much Yin anymore. Urghh… I shouldn't have done it after sunrise. The sun's yang energy has probably dissipated most of the yin energy that gathered here overnight.'

He had done something without thinking and ended up failing at what he had decided to do. 'I should stop being so impulsive.sigh.' He checked his energy and realized that he didn't even manage to get a million energy from the yin to heat conversion right there.

Hyesi felt that whatever his god was doing had stopped and asked, "Were you helping me again, Inikaka?" he asked.

'Helping him? What?' Ning was surprised for a second but realized soon enough what he meant.

"Ah right, I just decided to see if I can help you when you weren't cultivating and it seems you can't become strong." Ning decided to lie once more.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you, Inikaka," Hyesi said with a sad face.

"Don't worry about it, go on your way. You still have a job to do, remember?" Ning consoled him.

Hyesi struck his palm with his fist in realization and said, "Ah, right Inikaka. I almost forgot. I will do it quickly. I promise, by the end of the day, I will have a small house ready for you."
