Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

<Wake up, Taron>

Wendy spoke in his ears, but Taron didn't hear it. His eyes and ears were only watching and listening to Drake.

Kill yourself. That was the command he had gotten and he would fulfill it.

<Applying taser on you>

BZZT

Taron's body convulsed a bit when he was shocked by his AI. Only then did he gain back his mind.

"What the hell happened?" he asked.

<You were hypnotized once again and I saved you. You must thank me next time by finding me the perfect power source>

"I will," Taron said. "Thanks, wendy."

<no need. That is what I'm here for.>

Drake looked from far away with a troubled look. 'Looks like hypnosis won't work either,' he thought.

'What can I do now then?' he wondered.

Taron got back up and got ready to fight Drake. Drake quickly got out of the firing way and started running circles around Taron to dodge any more missiles or blaster shots.

After all, he didn't have much regeneration capability if he was attacked.

'I need more Lifeforce,' he thought, but it would be hard to gain in this place.

As he ran around Taron, he noticed something that he hadn't noticed while Taron was down on the ground.

There was a bit on his back that didn't have any covering on it. It was his bum… but he didn't have the luxury to choose at the moment.

He sighed as he ran and suddenly stopped. Then, he used his Lifeforce. Suddenly, he turned into black smoke, and out of that smoke came not 1, not 2, but a hundred different bats.

The bats flew in a group towards Taron. Taron quickly fired off his blasters, but it couldn't hit the bats that knew how to dodge them.

As the bats got closer, the numerous little nanomachines on Taron's body got to work. They flew off in every direction trying to stop the advancement of the bats.

And somehow, they were successful in stopping every single bat.

Every single bat, except for the one that was really Drake.

Drake wasn't flying in the air at all. Rather, he was using Lifeforce to hide in the shadows.

As Taron moved around and his nanomachines moved around with him, Drake slowly used the shadows that appeared around him to make his way up the body.

The nanomachines would stop the bats and retreat back to their location, but since there were no nanomachines on Taron's bum, Drake managed to enter it without any of the nanomachines providing obstacles.

Then, he opened his bat mouth and bit into the bum. As soon as he bit it, his fangs secreted a venom that numbed the area around the bum. So, even as he drake blood, Taron couldn't feel it at all.

However, just because Taron didn't feel it, didn't mean that he wouldn't know.

<Your vitals are dropping. You are losing blood.>

"What? How?" Taron asked while also shooting at the bats around him.

<Scanning>

A visual of his body appeared in front of his eyes and it showed Drake sucking away all the blood from his butt.

"What the hell? This asshole is sucking my ass," Taron shouted and smacked his own butt.

Drake left before he was hit and appeared as a human far away.

"Disgusting bastard!" Taron shouted, but Drake said nothing. He felt disgusted himself.

Still, he had managed to get some much-needed Lifeforce and was now going to use that to fight.

He watched as the nanomachines struggle to protect against all of the bats.

Taron could tell that he was getting overwhelmed himself. "ENOUGH!" he shouted and suddenly his entire body armor fluctuated.

A shockwave released from his body drove away all the bats, turning them into a puff of black smoke and destroying them.

Taron heaved a bit and Drake saw that.

'I need to overwhelm him more,' He thought. Then he used up his Lifeforce even more and suddenly he felt very light on his feet.

In a flash, Drake appeared next to Taron and he punched his face. The nanomachines around that part moved to block the attack, but Drake was already on his right side, punching it again.

Before the nanomachines could even do anything, he disappeared once again and arrived behind him.

He tried to grab the open area around his butt, but it seemed to have been covered already.

Nanomachines from Taron's behind moved to stop but Drake was already at the front where the nanomachines had first moved to protect him.

Drake's hands moved towards the empty shoulder from where the nanomachines had left and dug his long nails into them.

Then before the nanomachines could move back, he tore off a chunk of the shoulder.

"AARGH!!" Taron cried out in pain as blood seeped out of his armor.

<Applying anesthesia and freezing the wound>

Wendy did what she could, but Drake wasn't going to stop his attack now. He moved right and left, weaving around and into the nanomachines that protected him.

Soon they stopped leaving Taron's body. However, that meant that Taron would now have to feel the full force of Drake's attack.

Each punch felt like a truck hitting him. Taron tried to attack or even just hold on, but he wasn't able to.

Slowly, he was punched until he was at the edge of the stage, and then with a final kick, Taron was sent flying out of it.

Before he hit the ground, Taron tried to fly back, but he was already considered to have left.

So, the energy source that powered his suit suddenly went dormant and the nanomachines seeped back into his body.

Taron fell onto the ground with a massive thud and suddenly lost consciousness.

Drake stood on the stage as he heaved in deep breaths to fight the fatigue he was feeling.

Bright white light shined from above him as Genesis appeared. He slowly drifted down to Drake and placed a hand on his shoulders.

"And we have our first winner. Congratulations."
