First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Going Shopping

"Master...please...up..."

The soft voice gradually grew louder, clearer, yet strangely fragmented. Orion's expression changed to confusion, then panic, as suddenly the vast treasury shuddered violently.

"No, wait—what's happening?!" he shouted, turning around frantically.

The entire space around him began trembling, cracking, crumbling away. Orion desperately reached out for the nearest treasure, but his hands simply passed through like smoke, helplessly grasping empty air.

"No! NO! WAIT!" he shouted in desperation, his eyes wide in horror.

One by one, the priceless treasures vanished into thin air before his very eyes, fading into nothingness.

The floor beneath him crumbled, dropping him into endless darkness. "NOOO!" Orion shouted in helpless despair, watching the magnificent treasury dissolve completely, leaving nothing behind but a void. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Young Master Orion! Please wake up!" Rina's voice finally pierced through the darkness, fully clear and real this time.

Orion's eyes shot open, breathing heavily as his vision refocused, realizing he was lying safely in his bed. Rina and Liora stood anxiously at his bedside, concern visible in their eyes.

"Master Orion...are you alright?" Rina asked softly, visibly worried.

Orion slowly sat up, eyes wide, his heart pounding with lingering regret and sadness. He let out a deep sigh, calming himself before nodding lightly. "I'm fine...it was just...a dream."

He exhaled another long breath, the vividness of the treasury still haunting him. "Just...a very cruel dream," he muttered, shaking his head softly in regret.

"You guys go wait outside, I will be up in a bit." He softly said to them.

Rina and Liora looked at each other with concern but still walked out.

"...a dream...A FUCKING DREAM!" He nearly shouted as his lips twitched. "Was it Echo's doing? Was he playing a prank on me?" He took a few deep breaths to calm down.

The dream felt so real to him that he was still confused whether it was a dream or not. He dropped back on the bed, hand on his forehead, "Looks like I need to go out more, my heart won't be able to handle such despair-inducing dreams."

He wasn't at fault for his overreaction as well. Cherishing and pursuing treasures was the nature of True Dragons. If there was any other normal True Dragon instead of him, then he might have been crying already.

True Dragons treat their treasures as more important than their kids, and if they are given such top-tier treasures all of a sudden and then taken away from them, they will probably start destroying everything around them in extreme rage.

After resting for a few minutes, Orion stood up and headed for the washroom before coming out and going for a bath. He didn't call for Rina and Fiora today since he wanted to spend a little longer inside the bath.

Rina and Fiora knocked on the door, wondering what was taking him so long before entering. They looked at each other before nodding. Rina pushed open the door and entered.

"Hmm, Master Orion, where are you?" Rina softly called after entering the room.

"Master Orion, where...are you?" Fiora asked in a quiet voice as well.

"Call out a little more quietly, Fiora, I nearly heard you." Orion's sarcastic voice came from the bathroom side as he stepped out of it wearing a towel.
