Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1018: Teleportation Circle

Around 10 pm at night, Chase retreated to his room and Ning decided to make a magic circle there right away.

He found a small closet that wasnʼt being used except for storing some very old items and quickly renovated it to become able to house about 3 people at once. Then, on the floor of the closet, he drew the magic circle.

Ning didnʼt know much about Magic circles, except for a few ideas on how they worked. He hadnʼt had the time to learn them as extensively as he had for Summoning Circles back in Nulwurn, so he instead asked the system to give him the exact design of the circle.

He could use chalk to draw the circle, but he decided to go with something that would last a little longer. He dipped a brush into the small jug full of paint and started drawing the magic circle.

He couldʼve asked the system to have it drawn, but using his own hands made him feel better when the results eventually showed themselves.

”You sure you donʼt need any help?” Ely asked.

”No, Iʼm fine,” Ning said and continued with his magic circle. Ely watched from the side as Ning finished making it within the hour.

The magic circle was a giant circle with a 5-pointed star on it. There were multiple inner circles that separated the region around the 5-pointed star creating gaps where one could draw various symbols.

The circles were the base design that denoted the tier of the magic circle based on how many were being used. The symbols determined the intent of the circle itself.

”Alright, its done,” Ning said as he walked out of the closet and looked at the magic circle ready in it.

”So… we can teleport now?” she asked. ”Well… probably not. For the sake of safety, itʼs better if we donʼt use it as it is. Without a properly receiving magic circle, it will end up teleporting us in a small radius around the target location, which Iʼve set to be our house.”

Ely nodded as she heard that. ”How large is the radius without a receiving magic circle? It sounds like itʼs usable if itʼs not too large.”

”Itʼs… about 200 meters I think,” he said. ”Give or take a couple of dozen.”

”Oh, thatʼs not too bad. I thought it would teleport you hundreds of kilometers away for some reason,” Ely said. ”Our house has that much land, does it not?”

”Yes it does, but youʼre not thinking it clearly,” Ning said. ”I said it teleports us in a 200-meter radius, but you keep thinking about it in two dimensions.”

Ely gave a confused look for a second before realizing what he meant. ”I see,” she said. ”So there is a chance we will appear high in the air, or… deep underground.”

”Yes,” Ning said.

”Canʼt you change that? Make it so itʼs always the same height?” she asked.

”I can, but I will need a lot larger space to put those symbols in it. As it is now, there is not nearly enough space for anything other than the general location,” Ning said. ”Most of it is covered by symbols that attract mana on its own so that you wonʼt have to have a source to run it passively while receiving people.”

”But it wonʼt help people teleport? They will have to use their own mana?” Ely asked.

”Thatʼs the plan,” he said. ”Thatʼs the best I could do anyway.”

”I suppose thatʼs not too bad,” she said. ”Except for 4 of us.”

Ning chuckled a little. ”Saphandra wonʼt absorb any mana, but that wonʼt be the same for you three. At the very least, it wonʼt be the same for you,” he said. ”With time, your body will adapt to the energy and find a way to make use of it. You will be able to use mana.”

Although he wasnʼt able to tell how long that would take. The mana did not originate from earth to begin with anyway.

ʼItʼs alright even if it takes a few years,ʼ he thought.

”Alright, letʼs go back,” Ning said.

”I want to use that magic circle,” she said.

”Uh, sure. Come into the closet then,” Ning said and took her in. He closed the closet door from the outside and poured mana onto the circle on the ground.

Suddenly, the circle lit up with bluish-white light and spatial forces enveloped the two of them. In the next moment, they disappeared.

When they reappeared, they found themselves about 3 meters above the tallest tree in the land where they were going to have their house built.

”Good,” Ely said. ”I was a bit worried that we would appear underground. I didnʼt want to change my clothes just yet.

”Well, you might have to, itʼs already another day here,” Ning said.

”Yeah, I suppose,” Ely said. ”Oh right, here.” She handed him something small which Ning took and looked through.

It was a bunch of artifacts that she had invented herself with the help of her system, which would aid their house a lot.

She wanted it to be added to the building that Ning was going to have to make very soon.

”Iʼll see what I can do about it,” Ning said. ”I might just even make the house today itself.”

”Right away?” Ely asked, looking at the area. ”Thereʼs so much to clean up still.”

”I can do that,” Ning said.

”You donʼt have to,” Ely said. ”I can have Night, Blue, and Sorlus help me clear up this place. When you return, just make the house itself.”

”I suppose that works too,” Ning said.

Ely nodded and reached out with her divine sense to find the three beasts back at home. They had already returned from Germany.

She called them all to come to help her and within a few minute, they were all there. Ning gave a small idea of which places to clear up and which to leave and they started working on it.

As for Ning himself, he left for his meeting with the director regarding the magic circles.
