Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Reever helped Lisa bring out the most beautiful-looking spread of food Ning had seen in a long while.

The servings of meat and vegetables looked scrumptious and highly appetizing, so Ning started eating as soon as it was served.

"Oh my god! This is so delicious. I haven't eaten something this tasty in a really long time," Ning said.

"Haha, thank you," Lisa said meekly with a bashful face.

"My wife is great, isn't she? I can cook if I need to, but her cooking is on a different level from mine. There is nothing she can make that won't taste good," Reever said.

"Aii, stop saying that. You're embarrassing me," Lisa said.

"Don't be. There is no shame in truth," Reever said.

Ning took another bite of the meat and said, "The flavor in these is so rich. Where did you learn to cook like this?"

"Oh, it was uh… back home. I was always interested in cooking, so I would sneak into the kitchen throughout the day and learn to cook," Lisa said. "My mother didn't like that I did that. She even scolded me multiple times, but… my passion for cooking made me keep sneaking back into that kitchen."

Lisa's face had turned melancholic when she remembered about her home.

"What about your father? Did he approve of your cooking or did he scold you too?" Ning asked.

"Sigh, his… father never cared about me enough to approve or disapprove of anything I did. Sometimes I doubted that he even knew I existed," Lisa said.

Reever grabbed her hands. "Forget about them, Lisa. You don't need a family that doesn't care about you or your passion. I'm here now, and you can always rely on me," he said.

"I know, dear," Lisa said.

"You two are really close, aren't you?" Ning asked. He never got to see himself do the same with Ely. They were separated just too soon. He shook his head free of the unnecessary thoughts.

"Ah right, speaking of which, when did you guys meet? And how?" Ning asked.

"Oh, when I met her, she was working as a store clerk in Boss's store," Reever said.

"Boss? Ah, the tailor. You guys met there?" Ning asked.

"Yes, the boss found me when I was down on my luck right, struggling after I was rejected from the tower. He gave me a job, put food in my mouth, and gave me a place to stay." Reever said.

"I met her when she worked there too, and slowly we fell in love. How long has it been again? About 7 years since we met, I think. Although, we got married 2 years ago only," Reever said.

"I was in a similar situation too. I had just run away from home and desperately needed help to survive.? Uncle helped me a lot," Lisa said.

"He sounds like a great guy," Ning said.

He talked for a bit longer as he finished the meal. After talking for a little longer, he said his farewell and left the place.

He thought about the things he had talked about and found it inspiring that the young couple was suffering hardships together.

'Although, Reever should earn a lot. Why are they staying in such a rundown place? Should I even ask that question?' Ning thought.

He made his way back to the hotel using the evening street lamps to make way for himself. He went directly to his room and decided to practice for a bit.

He made a few rocks once again and tried to move them around using Aether only. After a few minutes, he stopped and went back to sleep.

Waking up for nearly 24 hours every single day, it wasn't surprising at all that he could sleep for 12 hours during the night.

When he woke up, another day with nothing to do started once again. The next two days went by doing the same thing. He wasted some time here and other time there. He ate when he was hungry, and finally, when he was bored, he went to the Bakery to spend some time there with Reever who would also be bored.

Sometimes, Reever would take him to different establishments to have fun. One of those days, he even took him to a gambling parlor where Ning nearly lost everything he had on the cards he played.

If it wasn't for being lucky one time, he would've lost it all for sure. Reever didn't like gambling at all, so he only bet a very tiny amount. Thus, when he lost it, he didn't meet any strong emotions at all.

At the end of the 2nd day, Ning finally went back to the tailor to get his clothes. He made his way into the building and entered the store.

There were many workers in the store, but Ning wanted to speak with the boss, so he looked around.

He finally found the boss behind a black-suited person. When he walked closer, he could see something weird going on.

Ning actually recognized the black-suited man. He was the butler of the girl that he assumed was from a noble family. For some reason, the butler was bowing towards the boss with the boss seemingly annoyed about it.

The boss waved his hands around as he spoke inaudibly, and the butler who could hear it all quickly bowed again and walked away.

As his eyes followed him, Ning could see that the butler had gone back to the girl who was choosing fabrics over to his left at the corner of the shop.

Ning then made his way to the now free boss and said, "Hello sir, I'm here to get my clothes. I hope they are ready."

"Hmm, you are… " the boss looked at Ning's clothes. "Ah right, let me get your clothes."

The boss went and got Ning's clothes. "Here you go," he said. "Try it on."

"Okay," Ning said and went behind a curtain to get changed. It didn't take him long to finish wearing the clothes, and when he did, he walked out of the curtains.

The boss looked up and down at Ning and the clothes, and only uttered a single word.. "Perfect."
