Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

 Ning felt the insides of his body lurch, and before he realized it, he was teleported away once more.

However, Alexis didn’t return with him this time.

“YOU!”

The words replayed in his mind over and over. Alexis had been dying, and if he were to believe her, he was the cause.

“I am killing her?” he thought with a blank face. “How?”

How can a man kill a god?

‘I’m not a man. No loner,’ Ning thought. There were many times when he would forget that.

He sat down on his house’s porch and started thinking about what Alexis meant.

“YOU!”

Ning felt like this was going to haunt him soon. He looked back towards the chair on the porch where Alexis used to sit all the time during the day.

She really wasn’t back. ‘Is she just angry for a while? Or will she never come back?’ Ning wondered. He liked Alexis’ company. Having someone that was more… immortal than him made him feel normal, as normal could be for someone that needed to worry about nothing.

‘Immortal,’ he thought. She wasn’t immortal. She had lived for tens of thousands of years, and yet somehow she was dying because of Ning.

“Do you have any idea what I am doing that is causing Alexis to die?” Ning asked the system. He knew the system wouldn’t answer anything regarding Alexis, but he still just wanted to shoot a qu—

<The system is prohibited from revealing any information regarding Alexis or others like Alexis>

The system finally said something that wasn’t total silence.

“Prohibited?” Ning’s face narrowed. He had come to assume that Alexis had information about energy that the system didn’t want Ning to learn yet, but it seemed something was different about this.

“Prohibited by… the creator?” he asked.

<Yes>

“So it is not only about the energy that I’m not allowed to know about. There are other things as well huh?” Ning asked. “Does that mean I can never rely on you to know what she is?”

<The system is only allowed to explain about entities like Alexis after the host comes to learn about them on their own>

‘Well, she is god,’ Ning thought. The system didn’t seem useful for now, so he decided to think about other things when suddenly the system spoke for one last time.

<The system can tell you this>

<The cause of Alexis’ regression is indeed you, and there is no way to stop the regression now>

Ning looked shocked. “There is no way to stop it at all?” he nearly screamed out loud.

He refused to believe that. He would never believe that there were no solu—

“Believe,” Ning thought of the word. “Belief… faith.”

“Is Alexis losing her godliness because people are losing their faith in her?” Ning asked, but and got back silence as a response. He wasn’t looking for a response anyway.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

‘Don’t gods get their divinities from their follower’s faith and belief in them?’ Ning thought. He thought he remembered learning something like that.

Ning started believing that it was something he did that made people lose their faith in Alexis, which then led to her slowly dying.

‘I did go around claiming myself to be her apostle. Was that the cause?’ he thought.

He asked the system if his little act had caused people’s faith in Alexis to die down, but he got a weird answer.

Their faith in Alexis had in fact increased after what he did. “That’s what I would’ve thought happened, but then why is she dying?” Ning tried, but he couldn’t figure it out.

In the end, he decided to not think about that. As the system said, he wasn’t going to understand about it, until Alexis explained it herself.

So, he pushed that to the back of his mind and went to the tower for his work.

He wanted to immediately work on the minerals, but that would need time.

After a long day of work, Ning asked for 2 days’ leave and went back home.

It was already nighttime, so Alexis wouldn’t be here now. ‘Was she gone during the night because she was dying?’ Ning wondered.

He shook his head and went back inside.

‘She said that the concentration matters, right?’ he thought. He brought out a metal bowl and filled it with water from his house.

It was water that flowed through the mountains through the farms and houses.

He took out a bit of the dirt in his storage and looked at it. It was red, like the color of bricks.

“Can you give me a composition of this dirt?” Ning asked. For some reason, he had been so used to the system not answering him that he didn’t even expect an answer.

However, when the system gave him everything without any hesitation, he was surprised.

“You are telling me that? I thought you couldn’t before this,” he said.

<Since the host has gained the knowledge of the mineral solution being the container for Aether in this world, the system does not need to keep it hidden>

“Okay,” Ning said with a smile. “So, which one is the mineral?” he asked. The system had given him nearly 20 names just now, and it was hard to understand which one of those 20 was the thing he was looking for.

The system gave the name ‘Alpurite’. Ning didn’t know what this mineral was, but now he was going to use it.

“Can you separate all Alpurite in my storage from the rest of the dirt?” Ning asked.

<Confirmed>

Ning used his inner eye to see what was happening inside his storage and saw the dirt get separated into pure red, almost crimson powder, while the rest of the dirt remained on the other side.

Ning brought out the Alpurite to see what it was like. There was about 20 KG worth of Alpurite in his storage, and he had only brought out a spoonful of it.

However, the moment the red mineral got out, something happened.𝑜𝒱𝓵xt.𝐂𝒐𝑚
