Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

Famir was surprised to see Ning's usage of 'Enchantments'. He still believed that everything Ning was doing was Aether arts.

"Do you feel any different?" Ning asked.

"Different? No, not really. I think it failed," Famir said.

"Hmm? Try using it. Try invoking or enchanting. If you did become an Aether user, you will know then," Ning said.

Famir stopped walking and hesitated a bit. "Umm… should I really try it senior?" he asked.

"Of course. How else will we know?" Ning said.

"No, I mean…" Famir slowly turned towards his sister and pointed towards her. "Won't I end up like Mavenna?" he asked.

"Oh, Sh*t. You're right. Nearly forgot about that," Ning said with an embarrassed smile. "I still need to learn more," Ning said.

Famir was a little confused as to what a senior with so much knowledge could mean, but didn't say anything.

'Hmm, should I get a random one from the system? Although, I am still quite unknown about the situation of this world. I don't know what would happen if I hand over the gold to these kids and leave. Bad people might come after him,' Ning thought.

Thinking along those lines, he thought of something and decided to ask.

"Famir, what's inside that mountain?" Ning asked while pointing south.

"The Peak of Afterlife? It's where we send off our departed to the stars," Famir sad.

That reminded NIng of a question that he was a little confused about. "Oh, by the way, who found your dad?" Ning asked.

"It was one of Noble Canon's men. He found my dad on the ground after he had fallen from the tree," Famir said with a sad voice.

"Noble? There is a noble in this village?" Ning asked.

"No, he's in the next town over. It's an hour's walk from here," Famir said.

"I see… and does this town have the library too?" Ning asked.

"Yes," Famir said with bright eyes. "It's where I read all of the books. It's honestly an amazing place."

"I see… Let's go there," Ning said. He needed to learn more about Aether and this world. And to learn that, he first needed to learn what topics there were to learn.

A place like a library that had different types of books would be a good way to get ideas on what to learn about.

"Senior, I need to look after my sister. I can't leave her all alone," Famir said.

"Ugh… wait for a second," Ning said and walked over to the room with the sister.

"Aegis, can you come out?" he asked.

Aegis flew out of the beast's space and landed inside the room. He was cramped and could barely fit in the room while sitting down.

"Turn around and put your back to the door. Protect the girl over there, okay? I will return in a few hours," Ning said and left Aegis alone to look after the girl.

"Alright, we are all set," Ning said as he walked back outside. "Let's go."

The two of them walked along the road and the people started whispering quietly when they saw Ning. 'I guess it's not surprising seeing how big of a show I put on yesterday," Ning thought as he facepalmed himself.

When the villagers saw Famir, they walked up to talk to him, give him their condolences and tell them that if they needed anything then he could let them know.

The entire village was like a big family. It reminded him about the people back in Klavis.

"Famir! Where are you going?" an old man walked up to him.

"Ah, Grand Uncle, I am going to the town with senior here. I will be back in a few hours," Famir said.

"Senior?" the old man looked at Ning up and down.

'Tsk. I should've changed my clothes,' Ning thought. It wasn't like he didn't have the clothes. He was just being lazy.

"Who might you be… visitor?" the old man said.

"I'm a nobody. You don't have to worry about me. I needed help for something from Famir, so I was taking him to the town," Ning said.

The grand uncle got a little alert when he heard that. "Only that that we need to worry about tell us that we don't need to worry about them," the grand uncle said.

"Uhhh… this is going to be troublesome," Ning said as he scratched his head.

"Jangar! Jangar!" the old man shouted.

"What is it, father?" Jangar walked out of the house. However, the moment he saw Ning on the street, he started getting scared.

"This man here is— What's wrong with you? Why is your leg shaking?" the grand uncle asked.

"Ah— No reason," Jangar said. His father liked staying inside the house due to his old age, so he didn't know what Jangar had gone through.

"This outsider here is trying to take Famir here with him. Go with him and make sure the kid is okay," the grand uncle said.

Ning's face got better when he realized he wouldn't have to spend another half an hour trying to prove his innocence to the old man.

"B— But fathe— "

"Brother Jangar, let's go to the town together. I would be quite happy to have someone so reliable with me as well," Ning said with a massive fake smile.

Jangar wanted to deny him but seeing his father's annoyed face and Ning's smiling face, he knew he had no choice.

Reluctantly, he agreed.

"That settles it then, doesn't it senior? I can have Famir here take me to the town right?" Ning asked.

"Hmph! It's okay now. Jangar, make sure to beat him to a pulp if he tries anything funny with your nephew," the grand uncle said and walked back into the house.

Ning looked towards Famir and asked, "that old man cares quite a lot about you. Are you guys related?"

Famir shook his head. "According to my father, after grandfather died, grand uncle basically looked after him, until he was old enough to live on his own. He kept on calling him uncle, and after me and my sister were born, we followed our father and called him grand uncle as well."
