Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning looked at the black-robed man in front of him. "Do I know you?" he asked. He didn't remember meeting this man anywhere, but then again, he didn't really bother remembering most people.

"This is the first time we are meeting, senior," the black-robed man said.

"Then?" Ning looked around where he was at. The edge of a random forest near a random city on a random continent on a random world. "Is our meeting here an accident?"

"I'm afraid not, senior. I have waited nearly 20 days for you here," the man said.

"Why?" Ning asked curiously.

"Because I wanted to meet you, senior," the man said.

"No, why did you wait here for 20 days? I just made the decision to come here moments ago, so why were you aware of where I was going to be?" Ning asked.

"Ah, it's because of what most people would call a blessing, senior," the man said. "Although, I would call it a curse myself."

"Curse? Who are you exactly?" Ning asked.

The man bowed once more to explain himself. "I am named Black Halo, senior. Otherwise sometimes known as Divination God," he said.

Ning's eyes narrowed. "God?" he asked. He could only imagine what a god would be here for after what he had done in the Sky God's palace.

Black Halo saw Ning's face and quickly shook his hands to explain. "I'm not here because of what you might be thinking. You are known as the Godkiller, and I would never dare try and ambush you," he said. "I have seen what has been to those that angered you, and what will be."

"Then why are you here?" Ning asked.

"I was called by the new Sky God to divine your location. I managed to persuade her to not find you as anyone she sent would die."

"However, in the process, I also learned that you are a True Immortal, not a fake one like us. So, I was hoping you could help me with my predicament," Black Halo said.

"And… what predicament would that be?" Ning asked.

"I am cursed with the ability to see the past and future of anyone I look at. Because of that, I am unable to live in the present," Black Halo said desperately.

Ning's eyes narrowed. "You can see the future?" he asked suspiciously. He had never heard of someone being able to do that.

"Y-yes, I can," Black Halo said.

"You're not lying, are you?" Ning asked.

"I… I am called the Divination God for a reason, senior. It is because of my ability to see the future," he said.

Ning was quite surprised. 'Is he telling the truth system? I feel like he's lying.'

<He's telling the truth. He can indeed see the future thanks to learning some mysteries of Time.>

'Oh wow! So he isn't lying?' Ning thought. 'Can I learn that power?'

<Future sight will cost a lot of energy to buy, and energy to use. Also, the future grows more uncertain the more variables there are.>

<In this universe where there is only a single sun and a few hundred floating rocks, gazing into the future returns somewhat truthful results.>

<however, if you were to leave and go back into the other universes with billions of galaxies with billions and billions of stars with many planets of their own, future sight becomes very useless.>

'I see,' Ning thought. 'So no point huh?'

He looked back at the man. "They call you a god, so you must be quite good, right?" he asked.

"Somewhat, yes," Black Halo said.

"Then would you mind if I tested you?" he asked.

"I… don't, but senior, I came here to ask you to remove this curse from me as I saw the future and learned that you were the only one who could do so," Black Halo said.

"It will take some time, but I can," Ning said. "Meanwhile, you will have to help me with something instead as well. So I need to test you if you're up for it or not."

"I can," the man said and immediately straightened up. "What can I do for you?"

"Since you say you can tell someone's future so easily, I need you to divine my future. Write down everything you can see will happen to me by this time tomorrow."

"A single day's divination?" the man was surprised. "I… suppose I can do that. Do you not want me to tell you what I write?"

"No, that would defeat the purpose of the task," Ning said. "Go on, divine it."

Black Halo nodded and sat down in front of Ning on the grass. He then employed the ability that he had been working so hard to stop and glimpses of the future bombarded him.

He was seeing so many scenes from the future that it was hard to make sense of them. Black Halo focused a lot more and only saw scenes from now until tomorrow.

The visions got a lot more vague and uncertain the further in the future they were, but just one day ahead, they were the most accurate they could be for him.

Black Halo saw a certain someone in his visions and without him knowing it, he was starting to divine the future of that someone as well.

When Black Halo saw what was in the future of that person, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He quickly opened his eyes and looked at Ning with an extremely astounded face.

"What's wrong?" Ning asked.

Black Halo shook his head and quickly wrote down something before handing over the talisman to Ning.

Ning placed the talisman in his storage without looking at it and turned towards the town in the distance.

"I will know if what you said was true or not tomorrow. For now, let us move away from here," he said.

"I will follow wherever you go senior," Black Halo said.

"Very well, follow me then," Ning said. He called out Saphandra, and then the three of them walked on away from the forest, towards the town.
