Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

“Another SS-ranked Dungeon? Well, that’s bad,” Ning thought.

“Can’t you just enter and destroy it?” Hi-Ah asked.

“I can, but…” Ning sighed. Even if he ignored the political situation of the world where he wouldn’t be allowed to enter a country’s dungeon on a whim, there was still the problem with the Constellations.

He didn’t know what the ‘good’ constellations would do, but certainly, the ‘bad’ ones would get angry at him for destroying another dungeon of such power.

They had been waiting for the dungeon to develop so that they could show themselves to the world and gain some recognition. If he took that away from them, then the angry constellations would come to attack him.

As a lone fighter, he would not be able to fight against all of them at all.

‘I will have to be careful,’ he thought to himself.

“How many have entered exactly?” Ning asked.

“Let me check,” Hi-Ah said and pulled out her phone. “20 A-ranked hunters and 3 S-ranked hunters.”

“What? Why the hell would they send such weaklings?” Ning was angry to hear the news.

“Apparently none of the Apostles are accepting the task at all. They are all refusing to enter, even when offered a lot of money,” she said.

“Dammit, their constellations must have let them know how dangerous it is,” Ning said to himself.

“Constellations?” Hi-Ah asked with a confused look.

“Nothing, you don’t have to think about it,” Ning said.

As he tried to think of something to do, his Uncle came out and told him that the food was ready.

Ning stopped thinking about it for now and went to have his dinner. He talked with his uncle over dinner too and sneakily checked his mage tier.

‘3rd tier, huh?’ he thought. That wasn’t that bad considering he had barely awakened as one before.

‘3rd tier… that’s B-rank equivalent?’ he thought to himself. What people wouldn’t do to have the same speed in mana cultivation as his uncle.

His Uncle asked many different questions to Ely, constantly trying to learn more about her.

Ning was glad that they had practiced everything previously, or they would definitely be struggling at the moment.

“Where did you hold the wedding? In China or France?” the Uncle asked.

“Nowhere,” Ning said. “We never officially got married.”

“What? No way, not even a court marriage?” his uncle asked in surprise.

“No, not even that,” Ning said. “We never wanted it, so please don’t suggest it.”

“But…”

“With the world the way it is now, we couldn’t afford to at the time,” Ning said. “So many years have passed that we don’t want it anymore.”

“Well, let’s not say no right away,” Ely said from the side. “Who knows? Maybe we change our minds someday.”

“Will we?” Ning asked.

“I might,” Ely said.

“Fine, we will have it after I no longer have to worry about the earth,” he said.

The two of them continued eating alongside his uncle, and after they were done, his Uncle sent the two of them away.

Ning walked out to the living room to find the two brothers and sister just starting to have some fried chicken.

“That’s all you’re going to eat?” Ning asked.

“This is the best stuff, brother,” Jung-Hee said.

“I know, I ate that a lot when I was in Nulwurn,” he said. “They only had fish there, so it was heavenly to have some chicken.”

“Oh, where is Nulwurn? Sounds European. Is that where sister-in-law is from?” he asked.

“No, Ely is from France,” Ning said. “Nulwurn is well…”

“Nulwurn is where Ning and I and Talon went after we were abducted by Genesis,” Saphandra said from the side.

“What? Abducted?” Jung-Hee cried out in surprise.

“Saph!” Ning gave a disappointed look.

“What?” Saphandra asked. “You should just tell them already. It will be easier.”

“Sigh, just go watch TV or something,” Ning said.𝒐𝗏𝒍𝐞xt.𝓒𝒐𝓂

“No, I want to talk with miss Ely here. I want to know why you would go so far just to return to her,” she said.

“Fine, talk with her,” Ning said and sat down beside the two siblings as he took a piece from the little brother’s place.

Jung-Hee tried to object, but Ning was already biting onto it before he could say anything.

“She sounds jealous,” Hi-Ah said softly so that Sphandra who had moved far away couldn’t hear at all.

“She’s not,” Ning said.

“I trust my eyes,” Hi-Ah said. “Anyway, what’s his deal? He hasn’t talked ever since coming here. He’s just been watching TV all along.”

“Who, Night? He’s just shy. You can go talk to him and he will talk with you. He’s the silent type after all,” Ning said.

Jung-Hee looked at his cousin and softly asked, “Why is his name Night?” he asked.

“What do you mean?” Ning asked.

“I mean, what sort of parent would name their kid Night? Wouldn’t most want to call them something related to day or something related to the sun and moon?” Jung-Hee asked.

“But Night is a nice name,” Ning said.

“I don’t think it is,” Jung-Hee said. “Whoever came up with it wasn’t thinking straight.”

Ning gave a blank look. “No, it’s a nice name,” he said.

Hi-Ah looked at him with an awkward look on her face. “Uh… did you give him that name by any chance?” she asked.

“Of course,” Ning said.

“And… what about Blue?” she asked.

“I came up with his name as well. Don’t you dare tell me that’s a bad name,” Ning said.

“Ahem, no no, that’s a g-good name, brother,” Jung-Hee said. “Especially Sorlus’s name. That’s the best one for sure.”

Ning looked at them blankly again. “That’s his actual name,” he said. “I didn’t give him any.”

The two siblings didn’t know what to say anymore. “Oh, look brother. This piece of meat looks tasty, do you want it? I bet you’ll love it,” Jung-Hee said and pushed a piece next to Ning.

Ning instead gave an angry look. “Just you two wait, I will come up with a name to call the both of you. Then you will see.”
