Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning woke up from his 'sleep' as the fire around his died down. He looked around and only saw ashes remaining from the leaves that Hyesi had put on him.

'Did I reach it?' he wondered. 'Status'

"YES, I did it," he shouted out of the stone inside the fire hole. "Inikaka?," Hyesi came to his side, with his necklace already in his hand.

"Uhh… I mean, WE did it. Good job Hyesi, Now you will become strong starting today."

Hyesi's eyes turned wide when he heard this. "You are not lying, are you, Inikaka?" he asked.

"Of course not. Have I ever lied to you? Look at everything I have made you do. Doing up and down, running around, picking up rocks. Hasn't that made you strong?" Ning sounded as if Hyesi had just said something very offensive.

"That is true, Inikaka. I feel like I have become much stronger. Yes, I will believe you then." Hyesi let go of any doubt he had.

"Good," Ning said with annoyance in his voice as he quickly switched to Hyesi's necklace.

On the inside, however, he was feeling different. 'Holy hell, this kid doubts a lot. System, give me that ability now.'

<Do you wish to purchase 'Yin to Heat conversion' skill for 22,000,000 Energy?>

'Yes, buy it.'

<Confirmed>

Ning felt like something was added to his head. 'Status,' He opened his status again.

'Well, I don't have that much energy remaining. I will have to find a way to get stronger faster.' He started thinking of ways to gain energy, besides the obvious 'burn in the fire' method.

'Oh, that's right. I can increase the cap perhaps? System, tell me, how can I increase the cap of energy I can gain in a day?'

<You can buy increased cap from the shop>

'Oh, right. You mentioned that. Show me the shop then.'

<Double the Cap with 25 million Heat Energy>

<Double the cap with 25 million Sound Energy>

<Other sources of energy not unlocked>

'Huh? Heat energy and Sound energy? Why are the energy type separated, system?' he asked.

<Increase of energy gain cap can only be bought with specific energy type>

'Oh, and how much of each energy type of energy do I have?' he asked.

<Please buy the Separated Energy tab from the shop>

'Huh? You can't tell me? And how much is that gonna cost me?' he asked.

<Separated Energy tab can be purchased for 10 million energy>

'Goddammit system, You suck. Now you're going to tell me that I need to buy that before I can increase the energy gain cap, aren't you?' he asked.

<You do not need to buy the Separated Energy tab to use the separate energies>

<You only need it to view how much you have at the moment>

'Oh thank god. Alright, now that I have this technique, I should start helping this kid. I wonder if I just have to use it like the Candle Fire. By the way system, are there any limitations to this technique? Actually, how does his skill work?' he asked.

<The skill has an area of 5 meters, inside which you can swallow all the Yin in the surrounding to yourself and turn them to heat energy>

<Heat energy that is not swallowed will return to Yin energy>

<It will not cost you energy to use this skill, but will increase your mental fatigue>

'Hmm… doesn't sound too bad.' He decided to use it immediately. "Kid, stop there. I will do something to your body that will make you stronger starting tomorrow morning."

Excitement appeared on Hyesi's face. He couldn't keep his emotions as he asked, "Ri- Right now, Inikaka?"

"Yes, sit down and let me start." Hyesi immediately complied as he sat down on the sand and waited for whatever his god was going to do.

Ning on the other hand imagined himself taking a deep breath and activated the technique.

"Mmm…" Hyesi sounded. He had seemingly felt something moving in his body. Ning couldn't see anything, but he could feel a sort of very unnatural coldness on his body. It didn't seem like the coldness of a low temperature, but something else entirely.

'Is this Yin?' Ning wondered. Suddenly, the coldness started to turn into heat. This was the genuine and natural heat that he was used to. As he kept gathering the Yin, the heat increased as well.

Since the heat was all concentrated on the stone in the necklace he inhabited, Hyesi started to feel the heat too. He started to feel uncomfortable. Even he, who could touch a stone that was burning for hours on end as if it was barely hot, was starting to have problems with the heat.

Then, Ning felt that the energy he was gathering had stopped, so he stopped as well. Suddenly, all the heat energy he had gathered immediately turned back to normal yin again.

Some even traveled back to Hyesi, making him feel uncomfortable. When Ning finally realized what had happened, he started shouting,

'Stupid!! Stupid!. How could I forget that I was already capped for today? I can't absorb any more energy. Ah, god I'm so stupid. Sigh, I will have to tell that kid some other lie now.'

"Hyesi, are you alright?" he asked.

"Bright Inikaka… I… You... You finally showed this child of yours your true strength, didn't you? That fire burning in my chest just now, that was your true power wasn't it?" Hyesi said with the utmost reverence.

Ning was shocked for a while but then realized what had happened when he heard the word 'fire burning in the chest'. ' Ah shit, did I hurt the kind?' he thought.

He waited for a moment for Hyesi to finish praising him and then said, " Yes. That was my power. In fact, that was just a hint at what I could do. "

"Just wait until tomorrow morning to see my real power. I will show you just how strong you can be with my assistance."
