First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Echo

The unknown entity shook his head softly.

[Laugh all you want, little soul. One day, you'll understand what prosperity truly means. Well, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. The pressing issue here is your death.]

The young man took a deep breath. "How did I die? I'm pretty sure I wasn't in any condition to die from an accident so quietly."

Hearing the young man's words, the unknown entity quieted down and heaved a sigh.

[You were not supposed to die yet. But due to my conflict with another entity, you became a casualty. And the more surprising thing about this situation is that out of nearly ten billion people on your home planet, only you died.]

The young man's lips twitched. 'Am I really so unlucky?'

[No, it might not all be bad news for you. You didn't want to live in your world anyway.] The entity smiled brightly at the end.

"You think I'd be happier dead than living?" the young man asked in an accusing tone.

[Haha, of course not, not a single bit. But since you died because of me, I need to make up for it as well.] The entity calmly smiled, as if he was an angel that had descended on earth.

The young man's eyes lit up. He couldn't imagine what he might get from this godlike entity. 'But what was the beast that he had fought?' he wondered inwardly, forgetting that the entity could read his mind.

[The beast I fought was not something you can imagine. Stop bothering about that, since that beast was an apex predator not only in this Universe but also in the other countless planes and Higher Chilicosm. Even the high and mighty Gods of this Chilicosm fear that beast, as he has been roaming myraid worlds since primordial times.]

The unknown entity patiently explained.

"I see, then I won't ask further about that." The young man took a deep breath and got down to business. "How are you going to make it up to me for my death, as you said before?"

WOOSH!!

The unknown entity waved his hand, and a glowing orb appeared beside the young man.

[Here, this is a Fortune Orb. You can draw from it ten times to obtain random treasures. It contains my entire treasury, so it depends on your luck as to what you will get.]

Looking at the glowing orb, the young man's eyes flashed with excitement; he also let go of his fear since he had already died once. What more could happen?

He took a deep breath and extended his hand toward the orb. The orb gently floated down toward his hand.

[Now, let's begin. It will be fun to watch.]

The unknown entity created a throne out of cosmic dust and sat on it. The young man didn't bother with him and took a deep breath.

He looked closely at the orb before softly rubbing it and trying to draw his first treasure.

The orb flashed with a purple color, filling the surroundings with soft particles like stars. The orb's glow faded, and a soft, metallic chime echoed through the air. The young man blinked in confusion as a notification appeared before him, floating in midair.

[Ding!]

[System initialization: Limitless System!]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for getting Epic Grade Limitless System]
