First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Gambling Again

’I don’t know if it’s even possible for me to get exhausted from simple mana training. My Sea of Consciousness is dozens or even a hundred times larger than a human’s.’ Orion curiously thought. He remembered that Lumi had told him that his Sea of Consciousness was 10x the size of a True Dragon’s.

But he didn’t know exactly how large a Dragon’s Sea of Consciousness was compared to a human’s. He hasn’t unlocked that part of his Inheritance yet.

"Ah yes, here, take these, Orion," Eldric said before taking out a bag from behind his chair. "These should help you with practicing mana control."

Orion looked at it, already feeling the dense mana it held. "What are these?"

"High Grade Mana Crystals, these should help you to replenish all the used mana while training," he calmly said before sipping his tea.

Orion’s eyes shined as he looked at dozens of High Grade Crystals inside the bag. "I will make good use of them, Grandpa."

Eldric and Selene smiled, looking at his excited expression before all three of them grew silent and began sipping their tea calmly. All the chaos of before seemed to have faded in the background as they silently listened to nature’s music.

...

"Master, are you going to the capital?"

"Yes."

"Will you go to the academy there?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to learn magic there?"

"Yes."

"Will you find a wife there for yourself?"

"Ye- what the fuck?"

Orion stopped in his track as he turned to look at Rina with a speechless look.

Rina pouted and looked to the other side, "You weren’t answering properly."

He shook his head, "I was just thinking about what the academy or the capital city holds for me. I really want to just learn magic and go on to travel the world."

"...w-will you..take us with..you?" Fiora softly asked.

Rina raised an eyebrow at her but turned to look at Orion, wanting to ask the same question.

"Time will tell. For now, all three of us are too weak to travel the world." He shook his head and continued walking.

Rina and Fiora sighed disappointingly and followed along.

...

Orion returned to his room and ordered both Rina and Fiora to stand guard. He told them he wanted to take the day off from the library and came back to the room.

He placed the bag on the table and rubbed his palms together, "Alright, Lumi, count all the Mana Crystals and tell me how many SP I got."

[Aye aye captain!]

[Ding!]

[Total SP calculated. Found a total of 57 High Grade Mana Crystals.]

[89 SP can be acquired.]

[Proceed to extract?]

"Damn! 89 SP from 57 High Grade Mana Crystals?!" Orion’s eyes slightly widened. He remembered the exchange ratio was around 1:1 for High Grade Mana Crystals.

[The quality of these Mana Crystals is quite high Master. You need to know there is a big difference even among the same level Mana Crystals.]

"I see, I see, that’s good. Looks like Grandpa gave me good quality Mana Crystals." His heart slightly ached thinking about losing all the Mana Crystals he just got.

’Hmm? Didn’t I suppress my Draconic Nature?’ he raised an eyebrow, feeling something amiss.

[Master, you need to suppress it consciously all the time, otherwise it will keep happening. And it’s not only due to your Draconic Nature. You are a little greedy yourself hehe.]

"Makes sense." He closed his eyes and focused his will to suppress his draconic instincts again. "It feels weird having to do this, haa... anyways, change all the Mana Crystals into System Points."

[Ding!]

[Conversion Finished. Master received 89 SP.]

[SP= 97]

Orion’s eyes started shining, looking at the amount of SP he gained all of a sudden, "Time to pull another legendary draw, if I can do even half as good as I did during my 10 draws." He nearly drooled and quickly ordered, "Redeem 9 Draws."

[Nine draws coming right up!!]

[Ding!]

[Draw Purchased!]

[Do you want to spin one or all draws at once?]

Orion sat down on the bed, taking a deep breath, "Only pussies play it low. All in!"

[Ding!]

[Initiating 9 Consecutive Draws.]

The wheel spun in front of him — the familiar colours of trash and treasure swirling like a vortex.

’Don’t abandon me now gacha god.’ He fixed his eyes on the screen.
