Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning opened his eyes just as he went unconscious, and was back to consciousness. Although it felt instantaneous to him, he knew some time had passed. That was how it always was.

He looked at the jungle below and saw surprised at how dark it just was. He looked at the sky and could see some hints of light towards the east, but there was absolutely no way to know that in the jungle.

​​

'I didn't think it would be so bad for them. The Klavians would've died by now if they had lived in such a dense forest.' He looked around for a few more minutes and decided to do what he had woken up for.

He was going to collect energy while it was still night. With a single thought, the Yin to Heat conversion technique started working,

Hyesi was not around, so he was worried that there wouldn't be enough Yin in the air to completely fill his cap, but oh how wrong he was.

When he had been using this technique around Hyesi, he had been staying in the small stone bead on his necklace. So, when the technique started, the 5-meter radius it covered was good, but not a lot.

However, now that he was in a gigantic tree. One of the biggest ones he had ever seen, the 5-meter radius that started at the surface of the tree, covered an overall volume of at least 50 times that of the small bead.

The tree immediately started heating and Ning collected 5 million energy before 10 seconds even passed. Ning let the remaining Yin go away since he had no use for it anymore.

'Ah, that was good. Huh… what is this heat? Didn't I already let go of the technique?' he thought as he looked out and saw that most of the dried trees at the top had started catching on fire.

'Well… that's bad,' he thought. ' Wait, will that fire spread and destroy everything in the area? First of all, if it all burns away, then I will be in danger of losing all this energy as well. I need to get rid of that fire soon. System, any ideas?' he asked urgently.

<You can shoot water at the top and extinguish the fire>

<You can shoot out CO2 gas to extinguish the fire>

<you can shoot out …>

<…>

<…>

<… to extinguish the fire>

The system suggested multiple different ways to extinguish the fire. 'Which one has the cheapest skill in the shop?' he asked.

<You can buy 'Water shot' for temporary 1-time use for 200,000 energy>

'Arghh,' it bled his figurative heart to spend such a high amount of energy, but he couldn't do anything about it for now. 'Alright, do it. Extinguish that fire.' He ordered the system.

<confirmed>

A stream of water appeared out of nowhere and fell directly onto the bunch of burning dry leaves, extinguishing the fire. 'That was close,' he thought and looked for any more possible fires.

After a few minutes of not finding any, he looked around and thought, 'I should do what I set out for, and get some food for those poor guys. Although, again, the same problem is here. Do I get the human body first, or the telekinesis, or just control an animal's body?' he started thinking.

By now, the sun was halfway up the horizon. 'Wait for a second, even if I do get foods, what do I do with them? Let them rot while I gather more? I need to find something to keep the food while I search for more. Hmm, is a refrigerator an option by any chance? Probably not,' he thought.

Unable to find any ideas as to do what with the food when he did find them, he resorted to his only way of finding a possible solution every time, the system.

'Hey, system. Do you have any idea how I can store foods without them rotting?' he asked.

<System highly suggests you buy Interdimensional Storage with Stopped Time>

'Oh, Right. Interdimensional Storage, how come I didn't think of that?' he would've face palmed himself if he had either of those. 'How much does it costs then?' he asked.

<Interdimensional Storage costs 500,000 Energy for every kilogram of items stored>

<With Stopped time, the price is increased to 10 times>

<So, it costs 5,000,000 per kilograms>

'Geez, that's a lot. Thankfully, I can a few of those for now. Buy 5 kilogram worth of it,' he ordered the system.

<Buying Interdimensional Storage with Stopped Time (5 kilograms) for 25,000,000 Energy, are you sure?>

'Yes,' he said.

<confirmed>

Ning didn't feel anything. 'Do I have it? Let's check the skills list. Status.'

'It is there, I should try using it on something,' he thought as started looking for something to store. He looked at a couple of stones at the bottom of the tree and decided to use them for the experiment.

'Alright, so I just think about it yes?' he started concentrating on the stones, imagining them disappearing to some faraway place.

Suddenly, the few small pebbles and stones in the ground suddenly floated in the air and came straight towards Ning. He was scared for a second, thinking it will hit him, but before it could, the stones disappeared.

'Wha-What? Why did they come toward me? System, what just happened?' he asked.

<The Dimensions where the storage lies is inside you>

'Oh, so that's why they came towards me? You should have warned me. I was scared for no reason.' Just as he said that a small rabbit-like animal came hopping around the tree he inhabited.

'Alright, let's go and see what else I can find in this forest. I should come across some food, right?' Thinking so, he let the rabbit take him around the forest.
