First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Rune Resonance

[Oh that? Haha, you won’t have to worry about your resonance.]

He raised an eyebrow. ’What do you mean by that?’

[Did you forget what Mana Channels you have?]

Saying this, Lumi opened his status screen in front of him.

[Mana Channels]: 9 Primal Mana Channels (Universally adaptable conduits capable of channeling all known energy forms.)

’Hmm? Primal Mana Channels—I know this. So what do you mean?’

[Hehe, Master got dumber. Think about it. If you have Mana Channels that can channel all energy and are universally adaptable, then which runes will they resonate with?]

’...’ Orion looked at the details of his Mana Channels again, his expression turning thoughtful. ’...So, they won’t resonate with any runes, yet at the same time, they’ll resonate with all the runes?’

[CORRECT!! (๑>؂<๑)۶]

Orion’s expression turned slightly excited. ’Then, will I be able to form all the runes? And will their power be stronger than others on the same level?’

Lumi’s voice turned playful.

[Of course you’ll be able to form all the Runes. However, your power won’t necessarily be greater than others on the same level based solely on your Mana Channels. Their specialty is universal adaptability, not amplification.]

’I see. Well, that’s good too. I should be able to learn the Runic Language even faster now.’ Orion nodded and peacefully closed his eyes to rest on the way back.

[Oh? Now you’re motivated? I thought I’d have to issue you a quest again.]

’That’s not needed. You can’t even issue a second quest right now.’

[That—I can’t. But you need to learn to be less stubborn.]

’I call it cautious.’

[Yes, Master. Cautious like when you recklessly tried forming the Darkness Affinity Rune and nearly fried yourself, despite me warning you?]

’Hey, experience is the best teacher.’

[Experience didn’t just teach you—it nearly killed you!]

’Yet here I am. Alive and wiser.’

[Alive, sure. Wiser? Hmm, debatable.]

Orion rolled his eyes at her persistent teasing, settling deeper into his seat. Despite the playful banter, he felt a genuine warmth.

Lumi’s lively presence in his mind was oddly comforting, making him realize how much he’d grown accustomed to her constant chatter.

As the carriage rolled quietly onward toward home, Orion stared thoughtfully out the window, his thoughts drifting toward the path ahead—runes, affinities, and all the mysteries he’d soon uncover.

Yet, before all of this, his daily practice awaited him.

"Uncle Lucan, will Uncle Edgar be back home by now?" He turned and looked toward the small window.

Lucan turned around and awkwardly smiled. "Uh, Young Master, can you stop calling me Uncle? I’m not nearly old enough to warrant such treatment."

Orion smiled in amusement. "Then what should I call you?"

He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "Anything is fine, really. Lackey, Little One, Lucan—whatever you wish, Young Master. But Uncle is too much."

Orion’s smile turned mischievous. "Alright, Grandpa Lucan. I’ll do as you wish."

Lucan’s smile turned ugly. "Why do you want me dead, Young Master? What have I even done to you?"

Orion laughed out loud. "Alright, I’ll stop kidding. I’ll call you Brother Lucan then."

Lucan’s smile turned bright and smug. "Hahaha, that’s my Young Master—big-hearted and magnanimous."
