Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Eleonora's eyes went wide when she heard that.

"Did you learn that through analysis?" she asked with a surprised face. It was hard to believe that a person could see into her past life.

"No, I can only look at information about your current life. Maybe because the system thinks of you as a complete person without your past life, or maybe because souls are energy, it can't look into your past life."

"Whatever the case may be, the reason I guessed you were from earth was because of what you said just now," Ning said.

"What I said just now?" Eleonora got a little surprised.

"Were you born a Christian in your past life?" he asked.

"Oh that, yeah I tend to say 'Jesus Christ' when I'm surprised or sacred. Nothing to do with my religion previously," she said and then stopped.

"Wait, does that mean you are from Earth too?" she asked.

"Yeah, I was born in China," Ning said. "My name should have given that away already if it didn't, Ning Ruogong."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'¦ didn't really know much about the world in my previous life. I was just a sick girl who would stay at home, away from any germs and just watch TV."

"I died before I ever got around to watching anything Asian other than the cartoons," she said.

"Well, I was an orphan in my past life. So, I didn't have the best chance to gain knowledge when growing up either," Ning said.

"By the way, I saw that you made a flying carpet for the principal. Did you get the idea from that one movie?" Ning asked.

"Yeah, I loved that movie and would watch it all the time when I was in my room," she said with a nostalgic smile. "Anyway, it's quite a coincidence that we both died and were reborn at the same time."

"Hah, the better coincidence is we both reincarnated to the same planet, and from what I can gather, around the same time too," Ning said.

"You say that like there were many other choices," Eleonora said with a slight chuckle.

Ning looked at her dead in the eyes and said, "Yes. There are. There are billions of planets in this universe that are habitable. Maybe more. The fact that we happened to come to the same planet is truly a massive coincidence."

'Or maybe it is no coincidence at all,' Ning thought.

"Besides'¦ I wasn't reborn. I don't have parents. I'm not even human anymore actually," Ning said.

"What? What do you mean? Are you a beast?" she asked.

"No, I'm'¦ " Ning smiled. "How about I tell you that after we've spent some more time. I don't feel very good about revealing all of my information," Ning said.

"That's fine," she said. "Alright, let's talk about the system once more. How good would you say your system is compared to mine?"

"Uh'¦ it's not even comparable," Ning said. "Just the fact that I earn'¦ uh 'points' just by existing means It's incomparable."

"Well, I can also lose them, but that hasn't happened in a while now," he said.

"Oh, that's great then. It's quite a bit better than mine," she said.

"Oh, I forgot to ask. Does your system make you immortal too?" Ning asked.

"Uhh'¦ no? I mean, it helps me in cultivation, and that's enough to get quite a lot of years, right?" she asked.

"Oh, my system makes me immortal. Hmm'¦ that's quite amazing when compared," Ning thought. "The creator must be amazing to make a system that can give eternal life to someone."

'Although that's at the exchange of never becoming a human, that might be an advantage as well,' he thought.

"Anyway," Ning said. "Did you get the system before death or after?"

"Uh'¦ after, obviously. I was born with the memories of my past life so, when I was little, I had the wisdom of a 23-year-old introvert," Eleonora said. "After that, I quickly noticed that there was something floating in front of me. When I started interacting, I realized it was a system."

"It took me at least 20 years to make use of it though. Since I needed some level of cultivation base to be able to form enough first-grade artifacts to buy from the system."

Ning nodded when he heard that. It wasn't until he collected enough energy to open up the Shop before he could make use of the true system either.

"Hmm'¦ does your system give you any information about itself?" Ning asked.

"Information about itself? Do you mean its origins? Then no. It's totally nonexistent. I wondered why I got my system and how I got it, but I believed it was a freak coincidence," Eleonora said.

"Nah, systems are created by some'¦ being and handed out based on specific conditions."

"In my case, because my life wasn't very good on earth, I was handed this system to live life as I wanted. The only thing I'm not allowed is to mess with other lives unless they mess around first," Ning said.

"There must have been a reason you got it too. Maybe because your life wasn't the best either, and you got lucky. I wonder how many people from the earth that live a tragic life get to have a system and reincarnate," Ning wondered.

"There are many of my systems floating around the multiverse, so there must be many of yours too. I'm really curious though'¦ I wonder who makes these systems."

"You know what? I'm just going to check," Ning thought and brought out the interface.

"Artifact creation system," Ning spoke to the interface and he saw the information he could gain.

"Holy Shit!" he shouted when he saw the price even for the beginner information. That was not something he had right now.

'Damn, must be because of the privacy,' he thought and filtered it down as much as possible, and finally hit 'buy'.

"Ah, here we go. I got 2 bits of information about your system," Ning said.

"First of all, it was made by'¦ a guy whose name I can't speak without at least 3 tongues," Ning said which a chuckle.

"And, here is the main information.. 'Artifact Creation System won the award for the 2nd best system in the 6547th System Making Competition."
