Reincarnated As An Energy With A System Chapter 2
Advertisement
Ning Ruogong's parents had died at a very early age, and he had been sent to the orphanage. However, even his early age was already older than most of the other orphans in the orphanage. So, when the time came for adoption, the adopting couples would always choose the younger orphans and leave the older ones alone.
The longer the time went on, the older he got, so the chances of getting adopted were also fleeting. Soon, he completely stopped having hopes for adoption and just lived his life as normally as one could in an orphanage.
At the age of 18, he left the orphanage to live on his own. But that cost him a lot of money to live on his own, so he had decided to look for a job and by chance happened to find work in a zoo for looking after the animals in the nighttime. Since it was a night shift, the pay was better than the day shift.
So, he took the job without hesitation. Alas, after only working at the zoo for 3 months…
'I can't believe I died. It just doesn't feel real. And somehow I became a … whats the word— Sentient? Energy, that's just more unbelievable.' Ning was watching the timer go down, but there were still 2 minutes left.
'Hey, system! Is that status all there is to the system?' he asked.
'Oh, are these functions different from the locked shop?' he asked.
'Oh, what kind of requirements?' he asked.
Ning snickered to himself and waited for the timer to end. 5— 4— 3— 2— 1.
'Alright,' Ning was curious to see what would happen now. But he waited for more than a minute now, but nothing happened. The energy count was still at 1.

'Hey system, what is going on? Why am I not getting any Energy points?' he asked.
'What do you mean by I can only gather Heat?' he asked.
'Can you tell me what these types of energies are?' he asked.
'Oh, sound huh. I wonder how it works,' just as he thought that the system spoke once more, except this time it wasn't answering his questions but, notifying him of something.
'Wait, I got an Energy? Nice.' He said. He checked his status and it said that he had 2 energy now and required 8 more energy to unlock auditory functions.
He waited for more to arrive but it didn't. 'Hey system, why am I not getting any energy at all? Isn't energy everywhere in the world? How is it that I'm barely getting any?' he was really confused about that.
'Oh,' he thought. 'So, I guess I will just have to wait to accumulate more and more, huh'
He waited for a few minutes before he finally got another energy. Now he had 3.
'Hmm…' he realized something. It had only been about 10 minutes, but somehow he had already gotten over his death or the fact that he had somehow turned into energy. He had also completely accepted that he now had this miraculous system that, according to itself, made him immortal.
'Hey system, Why don't I feel any sadness for dying? In fact, I don't feel any emotion at all. I am only emulating the emotions in the head. I can't actually feel them.' He said.
'Oh,' he said emotionless. Soon, the energy counter reached 5 and it only escalated from there. As he gained more and more energy, the chances of him getting energy would increase as well.

Before he knew it, he was at 8 energy. He waited for a while and got another notification.
Burble. Burble.
He suddenly started hearing sounds. He couldn't tell which directions the sound was coming from, but he was definitely hearing them.
'Is that water?' he thought. The sound he was hearing sounded like something one would hear underwater. 'Hey system, where on earth are we exactly?' he asked.
'Huh? Wait for a second, I'm not on earth anymore? Why didn't you say that earlier?' he was shocked.
'Yeah, show me,' as soon as he said that, all the notifications he missed from his death started flowing into his head.
'So, I got teleported to another planet? Wait, is there even life on this planet?' he asked. If he had to live in this world without anything here, he would rather just die again.
'So many? Are there humans near to me right now?'
'Okay, I guess. Let's see what my next task is. Status.'

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
8 210The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized

"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face."This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.Ranks -#3 in poem#3 in poembook#8 in poetry collection #7 in sadpoems#6 in poemcollection #7 in wisdom #15 in poetic
