First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 149

[Ding!]

[Congratulations Master for completing the first objective of the 'Fate Unravel II: Unmask the Soul' quest!! (≧◡≦)]

Orion paused in his steps, looking at the system prompt, his face brightened up with a smile. 'Looks like I'm closer to completing the quest now.'

[You did great, Master! That was very kind of you, and I think Seraph will finally start trusting you more and more now! (⁀‿⁀)]

Orion chuckled softly, shaking his head gently. 'Trust is built over time, Lumi. She's had a rough past. But at least I've shown her my intentions clearly. I'm glad I could remove that seal.'

[You could have done that from the start no? (・ω・)?]

'You do not understand the importance of timing, Lil Lumi.' He laughed to himself, 'It would have seemed weirdly suspicious that I bought a slave and freed her the next day. But now, I have shown her enough goodwill and my personality over time that she won't treat it as badly.'

[(☉｡☉)! Definitely, Master! And congrats again on finishing the quest objective! One step closer to unraveling her secret! (≧▽≦)]

'Heh, honestly, I forgot it was a quest until you reminded me.' Orion laughed inwardly. 'Gaining her trust, huh? It felt more like something I had to do morally rather than just completing a quest objective.'

[That's why Master is so special! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ You genuinely care for people, not just for system rewards.]

Orion shook his head, 'I'm not so great, after all, I saved her for the quest. How I treat her after is a different thing.'

Saying that, he glanced thoughtfully towards the dining hall ahead. 'Anyway, enough about that for now. Time to tell Grandma and Grandpa about my progress. I'm sure Grandma especially would love to know about the Fireball spell.'

[Hehe~ Grandma Selene will be so proud! I can't wait to see her reaction!]

He gently pushed open the large wooden double doors of the dining hall. Inside, the warm, inviting scent of freshly prepared breakfast filled his senses. Eldric and Selene sat at their usual seats, their eyes brightening as soon as Orion entered the room.

"Good morning, Grandma, Grandpa," Orion greeted cheerfully, quickly making his way towards his seat.

Selene gave him a warm smile, pouring a cup of fragrant tea and setting it neatly before him. "Good morning, dear. You seem quite cheerful today. Did something good happen already?"

Orion's eyes sparkled slightly in excitement as he nodded, "Yes! Last night, I successfully learned and engraved my first spell into my Sea of Consciousness!"

Selene's eyes widened slightly with surprise before pride filled them, "Oh? That's wonderful news, my dear. Which spell did you learn?"

Orion sheepishly smiled, "Hehe, it's nothing great, only Fireball."

She gently smiled, "Learning your first spell is always a major milestone. I'm truly impressed with how quickly you've managed this."

Eldric chuckled heartily, placing his fork down gently as he turned toward Orion. "Indeed! Already forming your first spell after just creating your affinity rune—not even the royal mages learn at such speed."

Orion smiled lightly, feeling a gentle flush of pride at their praise. "Honestly, it was thanks to the detailed explanations in the Apprentice Spellbook that I got, Grandma. It made things clearer and easier to grasp."
