Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-822

[Your Class Quest has been Completed.]

[Please visit the Hall of Evaluation to gain your class.]

"I… completed the quest?" Ning was confused. "Didn't I fail since I didn't manage to send the demon out?"

Ning fell into thought. 'What was the quest again?' he thought back to the quest and remembered the exact wording used in the quest description.

'Persuade Borgir to leave the bar the best you can.'

"Oh, the best I can. So I could have failed, but I only needed to try. Dammit, succeeding might have helped me quite a lot though," Ning thought.

"You're still here?" Borgir turned to look at him angrily.

"Sigh, I'm leaving," Ning said and walked out of the door. Once outside, he needed to find the Hall of Evaluation.

"Now, where exactly can it—"

Ning's eyes fell on a board right across the road. The Hall of Evaluation was right there.

"Oh, so close," he thought and crossed the road.

He arrived in front of the door and grabbed the door handle. Before he could open it, he saw a bunch of information.

<Your stats will have a great influence on your class.>

<Please use all your available stats if you haven't before you enter to get the best class for yourself.>

<Would you like to enter?>

"Yes," Ning said.

The door opened and he vanished.

Ning appeared in a world where he alone stood in darkness. He looked around him, but he could see nothing. The scenery reminded him of Nulwurn when one summoned things, but it was a little different.

Then, a single blue panel appeared in front of him with a few words.

[Your evaluation will begin now.]

'Okay,' Ning thought.

Suddenly, a million stars came into life up above him, some bright, some dim. All were of many different colors, and they all moved around.

There were many White and Gray stars, lesser Blue stars, very few purple stars, and only 10 Orange stars.

[You are being evaluated based on your stats and your performance in the Class Quest.]

Ning frowned. His stats were fine, but his class quest had gone as badly as it could.

Just as he thought that many of the million stars disappeared at once. Ning didn't understand what was happening, but he realized that he had lost a vast number of opportunities just now as amongst the stars that disappeared.

Fortunately, the rare Orange ones were left behind.

Ning frowned as he waited. If the stars represented the different classes he could obtain, then just by having the stats he had, he had lost his opportunity to gain access to many of the stars.

Still, the rare ones were here so that was something.

[The Demon Lord Yelzepor despises you for not completing a simple task.]

A notification spoke. A few lights disappeared again. This time, one of the Orange stars had disappeared as well.

'What?' Ning thought.

[The Demon Lord Vostromir despises you for being a weakling.]

A few more lights disappeared, including another orange one.

'Goddammit!' Ning thought.

[The Demon Lord Malevol is disgusted by your cowardice]

'When the hell was I a coward? Do they really expect me to fight a Level 26 demon as a level 10?' Ning thought.

One by one, the stars in the sky disappeared as the demon lords were either disgusted by him or despised him for how his class quest had played out.

As they left, they took along stars that were classes. Now, there were only a few stars left in the sky.

One of those was an Orange star.

[The Demon Lord Trenzelgor is disgusted by your lack of luck.]

Then the final Orange star disappeared too.

[However, she is intrigued by what the fate of someone with such bad luck as yours entail.]

Suddenly, a purple star brightened and the many stars around it were suddenly engulfed in its light, disappearing until there was nothing but purple light in the sky.

Then, the light shattered as a woman appeared in the sky. No, a demoness.

With a small, round face that held a slight smile, even with crimson skin, she looked very beautiful.

Her black hair flowed down her shoulders like shadows hanging by her head. Her arms held an archaic grimoire, locked with metal chains as if no one was supposed to look at it.

Her slender body stood here, her head at the zenith that was the purple light and her feet ending at eternity.

A pair of beautiful bat wings spread behind her, fully white in color. The wings looked as if a million shattered pieces of glass were attached to form the wings.

In those shattered pieces, Ning could see many different things, all of which showed images of him doing various different things, things that he hadn't done before.

It was as if he was looking at the infinite possibilities that existed in this world, and one of these was a fate that he would be forced to choose.

Ning watched in awe at the Demon lord that had appeared in front of him.

"Little demon," the demoness spoke, her voice sounding distant and close at the same time. "Can you tread through the infinite possibilities and find yourself the best fate you can?"

A Panel appeared in front of Ning.

[Trenzelgor, the Demon Lord of Fate and Possibility, is curious to see if one with luck as bad as yours will always succumb to their fate, or will you rise above it and break through it.]

[Unique Class 'Puppet of Fate' will be acquired if you accept.]

"Do I have any other choices?" Ning asked. Being called a puppet just didn't sit right with him.

[There are no other Classes for you to choose from.]

"Then I am forced to choose it, aren't I?" Ning asked. 'Just my luck.'

"Fine," he looked up at the great demoness. "I accept your challenge."

The Demon Lord smiled. "Show me something fun," she said and broke off into a million different motes of purple light, all of which fell onto Ning.

[Class Accepted.]

[Congratulations, You have successfully acquired the Class 'Puppet of Fate.']
