Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 584: Genesis

Ning found himself staring at a white… nothingness. His eyes focused as he stood up and looked around him.

Hundreds of people lay around him. Men, women, and more of every size, shape, and color were getting back up.

ʼWhere am I?ʼ he thought as he looked around. The room he was in was pure white and seemed to go on for infinity. The dimensions of the room were unmeasurable for Ning.

Soon sounds of cries and despair came from all around him as emotional screams filled the air.

”Whatʼs going on?”

”Who did this?”

”I didnʼt die?”

”I… I…”

”Where the hell am I?”

People started freaking out all of a sudden as expected.

The sounds finally jogged Ningʼs mind awake and he looked around him with more attention.

There stood a girl not far away from him with a face so beautiful that she nearly looked as good as Alexis. She looked incredibly sad, but the thing that caught Ningʼs eyes were her long ears.

ʼThose… those look like elves from the books,ʼ he thought as he remembered back to his life on earth.

He turned around and looked at someone else. A short, but fat man with a great beard that fell down to his chest.

ʼA dwarf,ʼ he thought.

Next, he saw a man in gray robes with a staff in his hand. ʼA mage?ʼ Ning thought.

Then, he saw a man with a sword strapped to his back and clear killing intent in his eyes.

Aside from them, he saw a man with tails, a dark-skinned demon with goat-like eyes, a cultivator with crimson robes, and a dark-skinned man with white hair.

A kid with sapphire eyes, a man in a spacesuit, a blue-skinned man confused by his surrounding, a tiger of purple color with brown wings.

There were even a few goddamn robots in the area.

There were truly way too many diverse people here.

ʼJust what is going on?ʼ Ning wondered. ʼHow are there so many different types of beings in a single place? They all hold different powers too from what I can see.ʼ

Ning was getting more and more scared by the second. The System had simply disappeared without telling him anything and the next thing he knew he was here.

ʼDid the system teleport me and everyone else here?ʼ he wondered for a second before dispelling that thought. It was impossible since the system shut down before all of this happened. Did the system foresee this? Was it scared?

Ning couldnʼt even teleport now to get away from here since all Energy-related skills were gone.

”You!” a girl suddenly shouted, catching the attention of everyone. It was a blue-haired girl with a staff that held some sort of blue gem.

She had the staff pointed towards a blue-skinned man as she looked at him with anger in her eyes.

”Who, me?” the blue-skinned man asked.

”You killed all of my kin. You will die for this,” she shouted.

”Woah! Woah! Woah! Lady, I donʼt know who you are. Iʼve never even seen you before? Was it you who brought me here?” he asked.

”Your people killed mine. I thought I was done with your kind, but I see I was wrong. You will die now,” she said and suddenly started speaking something.

”Holy Ice of the Frozen Maiden, lend me your powers so I may defeat the foe in front of me.”

”Eternal Freezing!” the girl shouted.

Everyone around her looked at her curiously, while the girl herself looked in shock. ʼIts… itʼs not working?ʼ she thought.

”Did you try to do something lady?” the blue-skinned manʼs eyes went cold. ”You tried to kill me, didnʼt you?”

After saying that, he suddenly jumped at her. However, a barrier appeared out of nowhere, stopping him from doing so.

”Itʼs good to see that you guys are starting to talk to each other already, but fighting is not allowed yet you know?” a voice spoke from high in the air.

Everyone looked up at once to see a figure clad in white light slowly drift downwards.

He saw surrounded by so much light that grasping his features was nigh impossible. Even Ning couldnʼt see what he looked like despite using all of his different visions.

”Who are you?” someone shouted.

”Calm down, children. I will tell you everything you are desperate to know right now.”

”You may call me… Genesis. As for who exactly I am, you do not need to know. The only you need to know right now is that yes, I was the one that brought you here,” the male voiced Genesis spoke.

”Why?!” someone shouted at him.

”Why? Itʼs simple really,” the man said. ”Because you people have nothing to live for anymore.”

”I chose you, and you specifically, because you were the only one that was alive on your planet.”

”And living in such a situation is a tragedy, isnʼt it? So, I am here to give you all a choice,” the man said.

All the people looked around with a confused looks.

”What choice?” someone asked.

”I will have a little competition take place between you all. The one who wins the competition will gain the chance to reincarnate to any planet of their choice,” the man said.

The crowdʼs eyes went wild in shock, but before they could say anything, the man continued.

”However, that is not all. The winner will also get a chance to obtain this,” the man said and brought forth his hand to show a glowing ball of iridescent colors.

People looked at the glowing ball in confusion. ”Whatʼs that?” someone asked.

The man let the silence remain in the air for a few more seconds before answering.

”A System.”

Ning felt shocked, both mentally and physically. The shock of seeing a system he had expected, but he didnʼt expect the physical shock.

However, only later did he realize that a girl had crashed into him.

Ning grabbed her and brought her to her feet and asked, ”Are you okay?”

However, even as he did, he could see the hollow eyes on her face.

She was dead.
