First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 85: Emberflame Grimoire

[Hmm... In my opinion, the Fate-Related Quest Sequence gives the best SP, with nearly no chance of an empty draw. Then the random Quests I give, which have around a 30% chance of an empty draw. Then at last, the SP you get from Mana Crystals—I don’t have an exact estimate for that.]

Orion nodded his head, "Alright, good enough for me. I can work with that." He lay back down on his bed and closed his eyes for a second.

Moonlight gently filtered through the silk curtains, casting a silvery light that bathed the room in a soft glow of midnight blue.

Orion stared silently at the ceiling, smiling softly to himself as he felt the comforting presence of the moonlight. "Today was... interesting," he murmured quietly, breaking the peaceful silence.

[You handled it quite well, Master! Not gonna lie, even I was impressed! (≧◡≦)]

"You’re too easy to impress, Lumi," Orion chuckled softly.

[Hmph! It’s just because Master is that impressive! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧]

He smilingly shook his head lightly, letting the comforting silence envelope him for a brief moment before remembering something crucial.

"Ah right, the Emberflame Grimoire. Let me check it out quickly." He reached out, activating his spatial ring, his fingers brushing gently against the cool metal.

[Ah, Master! Your inventory was full, so I placed all the new treasures inside your spatial ring!]

Orion nodded his head—his inventory was already full during the last draw. "Lumi, you’re truly thoughtful. What would I do without you?" he playfully said.

[You’d probably have lost all your treasures already! (¬‿¬)]

Orion chuckled again, pulling out the Emberflame Grimoire. Its dark crimson cover shimmered faintly under the moonlight, adorned with intricate golden flames that flickered softly in response to his mana.

"It’s about time I learn how to properly create my Fire Rune," he said excitedly, opening the grimoire carefully. The smell of ancient pages and subtle fire filled his senses, making his heart quicken with anticipation.

He flipped through the first few pages, eyes scanning eagerly, but soon his excitement faltered slightly.

The grimoire was filled with profound insights about the essence of fire, detailed explanations on how fire formed, the myriad forms it could take, its elemental nature, and numerous fire-based spells—from the simplest ignition to high-tier infernos—but there was no explicit mention of the rune creation process.

"Eh? Lumi, there’s no explanation about rune creation here," Orion said with a slight frown.

[Hmm, perhaps the author thought the rune creation process itself wasn’t important enough to include. Maybe he assumed that users already knew it or could learn it elsewhere. Instead, he seems to have prioritized sharing his deep understanding of the Fire element and powerful spell techniques.]

Orion sighed in exasperation, slumping slightly into his pillow. "Great, I was hoping to finally get some guidance on rune formation."

[It’s alright, Master! Knowing the true essence of an element is also vital! Maybe understanding fire deeply will naturally help you form your Fire Rune!]

Orion nodded slowly, conceding, "I suppose it won’t hurt to deepen my comprehension. Might as well read a bit before sleeping." freēnovelkiss.com

He returned to the beginning, this time reading carefully. The author’s insight captivated him almost instantly. The detailed explanation of fire was profound—far beyond anything Orion had ever learned in both his lives.

"Hmm, the author of this book was truly someone with profound knowledge... he thoroughly explained the essence of fire." He absentmindedly muttered while continuing to flip pages.

As he continued, the book described fire not just as heat or destruction, but as transformation—as passion and life itself—telling how all civilization began with a flicker of ember. It detailed mystical flames, magical combustions, and the subtle weaving of mana within every flame.

Unknowingly, Orion became deeply engrossed in his reading, turning pages slowly as his mind was filled with insights and understanding.

[Ahem, Master? I don’t want to interrupt your profound study, but you really should sleep soon. Tomorrow’s another big day!]

Orion blinked in surprise, startled out of his trance. He glanced outside; the moon had traveled significantly, marking the late hour clearly.

"You’re right, Lumi," he yawned softly, reluctantly closing the grimoire. "But this book... it’s incredible. My understanding of fire is already far deeper. I feel like I can form the Fire Rune without any guidance now."

[But will you try to form the Fire Rune now? ( ಠ_ಠ )]

Orion smirked, "Hah, of course... not." He wryly chuckled, "I don’t want to endanger myself like that again. I’ll just go to the academy and learn the basics first. Then I’ll try to form it again."

[Good, looks like Master really learned from his mistakes. (＾▽＾)／]

"Anyway, this book is really good. Now I can’t help but... want to gamble more so I can get more such books for different elements." He licked his lips, thinking about gaining various elemental books.

[Hehe, I knew Master would like it! However, getting various element books won’t be easy. And one as high level as this would be even more difficult. From what I’ve gathered, there’s less than a 10% chance of getting an Uncommon Grade Treasure.]

He lightly stretched and put the book back inside his storage ring. "Hmm, well, whatever. I’ll think about it when the time comes. It’s time for some beauty sleep."

[Sleep well! You deserve a good rest! (˘︶˘)♡]

Orion smiled gently and closed his eyes, quickly falling into the land of dreams as the moonlight continued to softly illuminate the room.

"Mmm..." Orion groggily woke up and lazily stretched his body inside his bed. "...Mm... I... really can’t get used to waking up in such a luxurious bed," he sighed and said, slowly waking up.

Knock Knock

"Young Master, it’s time to wake up!" Rina’s energetic voice came from outside.

He softly smiled, "Well, looks like they’re all good now after yesterday."

[Hehe, how can they not be? After you let them cry on your shoulders like some bullied young maidens.]

Looking towards the gate, he smilingly shook his head and said, "Come in."

The door gently opened as Rina and Fiora stepped inside, smiling warmly at Orion. Rina was clearly more energetic, her smile bright as the morning sun, while Fiora shyly stood behind her, offering a gentle smile and a slight nod.

"Good morning, Master! Did you sleep well?" Rina chirped, stepping forward confidently.

"Good morning," Fiora echoed softly, her voice warm and gentle.

Orion stretched once more, smiling gently back at them. "Morning. Yeah, I had a great sleep. I feel refreshed."

Rina giggled and nodded approvingly. "That’s good! You should always sleep well. Otherwise, how can you become the legendary mage you’re destined to be?"

Orion chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "Legendary mage? You’re exaggerating again."

"N-No! M-Master is amazing!" Fiora quickly said, her voice earnest despite her shyness. "You will surely become legendary!"

Orion helplessly shook his head, ’Are they saying this due to my test result yesterday?’ Still, he smiled warmly, appreciating their faith in him. "Alright, if you two say so."

Rina stepped forward energetically, gently pulling at his arm. "Now, it’s time for your bath, Master. You can’t keep everyone waiting for breakfast."

Orion stood up, stretching lazily once more before nodding in agreement. "Alright, alright. Let’s go."

After a refreshing bath, Orion walked leisurely through the elegant hallways toward the dining room together with Fiora and Rina. Sunlight poured through the tall, intricate windows, illuminating the luxurious interior. The trio chatted lightly, their voices soft echoes in the wide corridor.

"So, Master, what are your plans today?" Rina asked curiously, turning her bright eyes toward Orion.

He smiled thoughtfully. "I’m going to spend some time talking with Seraph. I want to see if she ate her food yet or not. She really worries me."

Fiora nodded gently. "You’re always so thoughtful, Young Master. I’m sure she’ll appreciate it."

Orion chuckled softly. "I hope so. She’s had a rough time."

They arrived at the dining room, greeted warmly by Eldric and Selene. The breakfast passed swiftly, filled with pleasant conversation and laughter, making Orion feel truly at home.

’If only I had such a good family in my past life... then maybe... maybe I might still have some attachments to that place.’ He shook his head and continued chatting with Eldric and Selene.

After breakfast, Orion returned to his room, comfortably sitting down on his bed as Lumi’s voice chimed in his head.

[Are you going to check on Seraph now, Master?]

"Yeah," he replied softly, stretching slightly. "But first, what do you think of her situation?"

[What else can I think, Master? She is destined to lead you towards your destiny—or at least give you a hint to what that is. As for her personally, I can’t really tell. Her affinity is hidden, while her origins are unclear. It’s intriguing to say the least, but she seems harmless enough.]

Orion nodded slowly, thoughtful. "Yeah, I feel the same. I need to at least treat her well enough that she learns to trust me."

[You’re... truly calculating, Master. But be careful not to neglect Fiora and Rina!]

He laughed softly. "Don’t worry. I already took care of that yesterday."

Standing up, he approached the door, stepping out where Fiora and Rina waited. "I’m going to speak with Seraph for a bit. You two take a break."

"Alright, Young Master," Rina said, smiling warmly. "We’ll be here if you need anything."

Fiora gently nodded, her gaze soft and supportive.

’See? They are now fully supporting me.’ he inwardly smirked and said.

Lumi felt her lips twitching. [Poor girls are dancing on your fingertips.]

He smilingly shook his head and headed toward Seraph’s room.
