Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

"Yes."

<Confirmed>

<Congratulations, You have bought all Kinetic Energy Cap Increments>

<As a reward, the system has awarded host with [Toggle -Low-Level Physical Damage Ignorance]>

<You now have the ability to ignore 15% of Physical damage your body could suffer>

<You can improve this skill in the shop>

Ning was a little surprised when he saw this. "Oh, I forgot this happened last time with Heat as well," Ning said and read the description of the technique. 

Similar to the one with the heat, he could basically ignore 15% of all Kinetic energy he encountered. He decided to toggle it on as that would be quite helpful to him. 

'I should probably get more of these techniques later on,' he thought. After that, he teleported back to the house. 

It had barely been a few minutes since he had left, so he decided to collect some Aether in the meantime since he had used it just half an hour earlier. 

He started absorbing the Aether using the Abyssal Absorption art for the next 2 hours. As he was halfway done with refining the Aether, he noticed something. 

Suddenly, it felt like his body was much lighter and that he could use the Aether much more efficiently. "Woah! Did I just rank up from Aether Starter to Aether Student?" he thought.

What should have taken him 10 days, took him 4 days after he bought the Abyssal Absorption art. 

"I feel a little bad using so much energy for the automatic one," he thought. " Whatever, there is no point in crying over spilled milk."

He went around to the rooms and called them for dinner. Thanks to Aether, they could go without food for a while without getting hungry. At higher ranks, they could go by weeks without eating anything. 

Ning put down 3 bowls on the kitchen table and took out the stew before using a ladle to put it into the 3 bowls. 

Famir looked at the stew in front of him and frowned a little. It looked a bit different from what he would've expected the ingredients he put out to look like. 

"Senior, this is…," he asked.

"This is the stew I made. Oh yeah, I swapped in a few things of my own and added other things. Eat up," Ning said as he took a spoonful of the stew and went "Mmm". 

Famir hesitated a little and looked towards his sister to see that she was going to eat it without any question as well. 'Sigh, whatever,' he thought and took a spoonful and ate it.

As soon as he put the stew inside his mouth, multiple flavors burst out inside of his mouth. The meat was very soft, the vegetable was still crunchy, and the spices used in the stew were beyond anything he had ever eaten. 

"Senior, what did you put in here?" he asked.

"Ah, it's just a few ingredients I had a spare of. Don't worry and just eat," Ning said as he also took one spoonful after another. He himself was a little surprised how good the meat and vegetable substitutes made the stew. 

'Man, should I become a cook or what?' he thought, but immediately threw away the idea. After they were done finishing the meal, Famir took the dishes and brought them outside to wash them. 

After this meal, they wouldn't need to eat for the next few days. In the next 4 days, Ning managed to create another 2 books and handed them to the kids as well. 

He didn't know if they had finished reading the others or not, but he still decided to hand them over anyway. 

"Alright Kids, since you did what I asked and read the books all week long, here is your reward," Ning said and brought out Aegis. 

Aegis got out and smiled when he saw Mavenna. He was quite happy to see the little girl. Mavenna was excited too, but her face also showed a bit of sadness. 

"What's wrong?" Ning asked. 

"You promised another beast as well," she said. 

"Haha, I was getting to him. This one is a little bit of a rascal and may try to hurt you, so get ready okay? Blue, come out," he called. 

Blue light shined as Blue suddenly appeared in front of the kids. If the kids had to tilt their heads 20 degrees upwards to fully see Aegis, they would have to tilt their heads up to 60 degrees upward to fully see Blue. 

Blue was around 5 meters tall, and that was just his vertical height. His real length was more like 15 meters. 

"Wh-What is that?" Famir asked in fear.

"This is blue. He is a Flood Dragon," Ning said. 

"Dra…. Gon?" Famir was confused. There were no dragons in Vilmore. 

"Uhh… just think of him as a pet for now, and stop worrying about what he is," Ning said. 

"Master. I. Can't. Feel. Qi," Blue spoke out loud. Famir and Mavenna only heard growling and got a little scared. 

"We are in a place where Qi is unavailable. You will have to wait a few more months before you can feel Qi again," Ning said. 

"For today, look after these two and play with them. I have somewhere to be," Ning said. "Do what this boy says, okay?" 

"No! You. Are. My. Only. Master." Blue cried out loud. 

"I know, and I'm just asking you to follow him for today," Ning said. 

"That. Is. Impossible. He. Is. Not. Worthy." Blue said. 

"I get that. Just… " Ning felt annoyed and stopped speaking for a second. Then, his eyes brightened as he had an idea. "Do what they say until I come back, and if you do your job properly, I will give you 3 drops of a True Dragon's blood essence."

Blue's body immediately perked up. "A. True. Dragon's. Blood. Essences?"

"Yes, 3 drops. That should help you in evolving, shouldn't it?" Ning asked. 

Blue didn't even think for a second before answering, "Accepted."

Ning smiled and looked at Famir. "I will be back in a few hours.. They will follow your commands, just have fun with them until then," Ning said.
