Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning did what he thought was right. He brought back the four generals and the army to the Demon King’s city again and placed them there.

He couldn’t stop them from going out, but with the absence of a Demon King, they would first have to sort that out before they could attack. If Hyesi was right, that would take a few years for sure.

That was the most Ning could do to save the humans, but also not hurt the demons who Hyesi saw as his own people.

The thousands of years worth of memory he had as a cultivator definitely overshadowed the few dozens of memories as the Demon King, but Ning still couldn’t discount the feelings or connections he had made here.

“That should be enough for the humans to prepare when the demons come knocking eventually,” Ning said. “Is that enough?”

The young man frowned a little. “It’s not nearly enough, but I have to take whatever I can get. I am not in the spot to make demands anyway. So, thank you, sir.”

Ning smiled. “You should return with us,” he said. “I can take you back home.”

“Y-you can?” the young man got excited. However, a second later, his excitement faded away. “No, I can’t go back.”

It had been too long since he had been here, and his only sister was sure to have outgrown him by now. He would love to go back and see how she was doing, but deep in his heart, he knew he had to stay here.

If humanity was ever going to have any chance against the demons, it was through him and this opportunity he had received. He could not squander it by just going back.𝑛𝒐𝗏𝓮𝒍𝓃𝐞xt.𝓒𝒐𝓂

“Are you sure?” Ning asked with a surprised look on his face. “I don’t think you can go back in any other way.”

“I can,” the young man said. “I just have to wait a while.”

Ning looked at the man weirdly. “How old even are you? Can you live in time?”

“Me? I am 24 years old,” the young man said. “Or wait…” He moved his hands in front of him and checked something.

“Yes, I’ve been 24 years old for the last 8 years,” the young man said. “Don’t worry about me, sir. I’ll be fine. But if I may make a request.”

“What is it? Go on,” Ning said.

“I have… well, had a sister on the outside. I don’t know how it is, but I hope she is still alive. If she is, can you please check up on her and see how she is doing? Maybe help a bit? Here, please give her this if you can. If you can’t, just keep it,” the young man said.

Ning took the stones he was handed and was a little surprised. Some of the stones were mana stones that he was familiar with, but the other was not.

He had to ask the system to learn what it was.

A Skill stone.

Using that stone gave anyone a skill they wanted. Ning had the thought of using one on himself.

But, he didn’t really need any stone to give him skills. He could do it himself.

“Sure, I’ll take these to her. If her life is not going well, I will help her improve it a bit, rest assured.”

The young man smiled. “My sister’s name is Andrea L—”

“You don’t have to tell me, Adler. I know everything,” Ning said.

The young man looked surprised as he hadn’t even given his name out yet. He understood that Ning wasn’t lying. “Thank you,” he said. “I will have to go now. I need to complete this mission before the next week.”

“Go ahead,” Ning said.

The young man left the town and went back into the jungle where he hunted magical monsters for himself.

“Alright, we should leave now,” Ning said. He grabbed onto Night and Hyesi and teleported next to the wormhole that led outside. It wasn’t usable by just anyone, so Ning had to use quite a lot of energy to open it again.

“Ooh, before we go, I need to do some makeover on you.” Ning waved his hand and Hyesi’s demonic body changed to that of a human. “I am sure there is a human body in there somewhere. It will take some time before I can reverse the process of your corruption.”

Hyesi nodded.

The three of the walked through the portal and appeared in the park outside. Ning took the two of them far away to the outskirts of the city before leaving them for a few minutes to visit Andrea.

Adler’s sister had awakened as well and was working in some guild to make ends meet. She was a D-ranked awakener, so there wasn’t much she could earn, but whatever she did earn was enough for her.

Ning arrived at her home and told her about what happened to her brother and how she wouldn’t be seeing him for a long time. He was likely to be inside even after she died.

Ning handed her what her brother had given her, and in that, he sneaked in a small SS-ranked mana stone. He told her what it was and to never reveal it to anyone.

With that, the girl could rise up in ranks quickly and become self-sufficient once that happened, her life would change for the better for sure.

Ning arrived back to see Night and Hyesi talking to each other about what they had been doing since the last time they were together.

They stopped talking once Ning was there. “So, where are we going Inikaka? Back to Kumia?” he asked.

“No, it’s a new planet called Gionia. You two are the last ones that have yet to return,” he said.

He tore a silver hole in the fabric of space that led directly inside the Origin of the Gionia.

Ning walked in along with the final group of people he had to bring back. With this, he could stop roaming the world and enjoy his life with the ones he loved and cared about.
