nNing Ruogong's parents had died at a very early age, and he had been sent to the orphanage. However, even his early age was already older than most of the other orphans in the orphanage. So, when the time came for adoption, the adopting couples would always choose the younger orphans and leave the older ones alone.

nThe longer the time went on, the older he got, so the chances of getting adopted were also fleeting. Soon, he completely stopped having hopes for adoption and just lived his life as normally as one could in an orphanage.

nAt the age of 18, he left the orphanage to live on his own. But that cost him a lot of money to live on his own, so he had decided to look for a job and by chance happened to find work in a zoo for looking after the animals in the nighttime. Since it was a night shift, the pay was better than the day shift.

nSo, he took the job without hesitation. Alas, after only working at the zoo for 3 months…

n'I can't believe I died. It just doesn't feel real. And somehow I became a … whats the word— Sentient? Energy, that's just more unbelievable.' Ning was watching the timer go down, but there were still 2 minutes left.

n'Hey, system! Is that status all there is to the system?' he asked.

n

n'Oh, are these functions different from the locked shop?' he asked.

n

n

n

n'Oh, what kind of requirements?' he asked.

n

nNing snickered to himself and waited for the timer to end. 5— 4— 3— 2— 1.

n

n'Alright,' Ning was curious to see what would happen now. But he waited for more than a minute now, but nothing happened. The energy count was still at 1.

n'Hey system, what is going on? Why am I not getting any Energy points?' he asked.

n

n

n'What do you mean by I can only gather Heat?' he asked.

n

n

n'Huh? Wait for a second, I'm not on earth anymore? Why didn't you say that earlier?' he was shocked.

n

n'Yeah, show me,' as soon as he said that, all the notifications he missed from his death started flowing into his head.

n'So, I got teleported to another planet? Wait, is there even life on this planet?' he asked. If he had to live in this world without anything here, he would rather just die again.

n

n'So many? Are there humans near to me right now?'

n

n'Okay, I guess. Let's see what my next task is. Status.'
