Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

"I know how to heal your son," Ning said as he stood up.

"What did you say?" Old man Canon nearly dropped his cane when he heard that. "Did you just say you can heal my son?"

"Yes, I have found the problem of your son's current condition, and I also know how to heal it," Ning said.

"I… if you really aren't lying, thank you so much," Lord Canon said. "Please heal my son at once."

"Father wait," Kell spoke for the first time in a long time.

"What is it?" Canon asked.

"We can't trust him just like that. He said that he would only diagnose his little brother. He never said he would heal him. What if he puts poison inside little brother?" Kell said.

He then looked to Ning and said, "I'm not saying you will, but please understand that we have to be careful here."

"Oh, that's right. I must be getting old and muddle-brained. That's right, Doctor Ning. Can we just hear the diagnosis first? What's wrong with my son?" Canon asked.

"Sure. You said your son fell from the 2nd story of the mansion right?" Ning asked.

"Yes," Canon said.

"Well, you see, when he fell from the story he must have hit a rock or something at the bottom directly on his back. So, the 5th disc on his vertebrae was slightly dislocated but just enough to crush nerves leaving from the spinal cord. Thus, no information has been passed through the nerves to his head or the other way around."

"Basically, the communication between the brain and the body is completely shut off. However, there is a cure, and it's a very easy one."

"What I will do is give his body a little massage, so that the dislocated disk is back in place and the crushed nerves are released. After that, he will gain feeling back in his body."

"He will need to stay in bed for a week or two more due to his muscle degeneration, maybe even longer. But after that, he should be back to normal," Ning said.

"That is my explanation for what is happening to him and how he can be cured. If you would like, I can cure him in under 5 minutes," Ning continued. "However, after that, I will be needing something as compensation. Do you agree?"

Canon's eyes darted around for a moment. "If…. If…"

"Father, let us first confirm whether he is a real doctor or not. We can also confirm his diagnosis with the other doctors and see if he is telling the truth," Kell said.

"Shut up. We have a chance, so we must take it. So many doctors came and went, yet not a single one could give this clear of an explanation. The ones who could do something never replied to our letters. We don't have much time now. Your brother's body is getting weaker and weaker by the day and will die soon. We must do it now," Canon said with a face full of determination.

"Doctor Ning, please heal my son. I will give you anything you want. You want my mansion, you can have it. You want my merchant group, you can have it too. Hell, you can have the Baron title from me as well. Just heal my son," Canon got really low to bow to Ning.

"Very well. I will heal your son. As for what I want in return, let's talk about that later," Ning said and pulled up his sleeves. It was time to deliver his famous 10 Finger Heavenly Massage technique.

He placed Zand properly on the bed and started. He didn't go at it strongly, as the man didn't have many muscles on the back. He massaged slowly and deliberately.

He softened the entire vertebrae before trying to fix the dislocated disc. After 5 minutes of massage, it seemed he was ready.

"You, bring a cloth from that table and shove it in his mouth," Ning ordered one of the servants. The servant did not hesitate and did what he asked.

"You are going to feel pain like you've never before, so be ready for it," Ning said to Zand and put the disc back in place.

Suddenly, the pain that was all over his body, rushed to Zand's head, and finally he could feel it all. His face showed that he was screaming out of his mind, but there was no sound coming out.

His vocal cords were all but completely gone. Ning had only put the cloth in there to stop himself from chewing his own tongue and dying. 'Although, he might not even have the strength to do that right now,' he thought.

"What's happening?" Canon asked. His face was pale from seeing his son in pain.

"He just gained senses to his entire body. He will start to—"

Zand started waving his arms and legs up and down as the pain was too much to handle.

"— move soon. See? He is healed." Ning said.

Ning took out a premade pain relief that he had prepared while bored the last week. He fed a little of it to Zand after taking out the cloth from his mouth.

Zand stopped struggling and quietened down. Then, he fell asleep.

"Alright, he had been healed. Your son is fine now," Ning said.

Canon's face was in awe. He couldn't believe that a random kid he picked from the party was able to heal his son.

"I do not know how I can ever thank you, Doctor Ning. You… you did what no one else could do ever. You have my gratitude from the bottom of my heart," Canon said. He was crying now.

Ning could see just how much he loved his child right here. Canon quickly wiped his tears and said, "You said you wanted some compensation right? Ask me whatever you want, I will give it to you."

Ning smiled. He was finally gonna get what he was here for.

"You see—"

Just then, a feeling appeared inside of Ning.

A feeling of horror and distress.
