First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Emberflame Grimoire

[Hmm... In my opinion, the Fate-Related Quest Sequence gives the best SP, with nearly no chance of an empty draw. Then the random Quests I give, which have around a 30% chance of an empty draw. Then at last, the SP you get from Mana Crystals—I don’t have an exact estimate for that.]

Orion nodded his head, "Alright, good enough for me. I can work with that." He lay back down on his bed and closed his eyes for a second.

Moonlight gently filtered through the silk curtains, casting a silvery light that bathed the room in a soft glow of midnight blue.

Orion stared silently at the ceiling, smiling softly to himself as he felt the comforting presence of the moonlight. "Today was... interesting," he murmured quietly, breaking the peaceful silence.

[You handled it quite well, Master! Not gonna lie, even I was impressed! (≧◡≦)]

"You’re too easy to impress, Lumi," Orion chuckled softly.

[Hmph! It’s just because Master is that impressive! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧]

He smilingly shook his head lightly, letting the comforting silence envelope him for a brief moment before remembering something crucial.

"Ah right, the Emberflame Grimoire. Let me check it out quickly." He reached out, activating his spatial ring, his fingers brushing gently against the cool metal.

[Ah, Master! Your inventory was full, so I placed all the new treasures inside your spatial ring!]

Orion nodded his head—his inventory was already full during the last draw. "Lumi, you’re truly thoughtful. What would I do without you?" he playfully said.

[You’d probably have lost all your treasures already! (¬‿¬)]

Orion chuckled again, pulling out the Emberflame Grimoire. Its dark crimson cover shimmered faintly under the moonlight, adorned with intricate golden flames that flickered softly in response to his mana.

"It’s about time I learn how to properly create my Fire Rune," he said excitedly, opening the grimoire carefully. The smell of ancient pages and subtle fire filled his senses, making his heart quicken with anticipation.

He flipped through the first few pages, eyes scanning eagerly, but soon his excitement faltered slightly.

The grimoire was filled with profound insights about the essence of fire, detailed explanations on how fire formed, the myriad forms it could take, its elemental nature, and numerous fire-based spells—from the simplest ignition to high-tier infernos—but there was no explicit mention of the rune creation process.

"Eh? Lumi, there’s no explanation about rune creation here," Orion said with a slight frown.

[Hmm, perhaps the author thought the rune creation process itself wasn’t important enough to include. Maybe he assumed that users already knew it or could learn it elsewhere. Instead, he seems to have prioritized sharing his deep understanding of the Fire element and powerful spell techniques.]

Orion sighed in exasperation, slumping slightly into his pillow. "Great, I was hoping to finally get some guidance on rune formation."

[It’s alright, Master! Knowing the true essence of an element is also vital! Maybe understanding fire deeply will naturally help you form your Fire Rune!]

Orion nodded slowly, conceding, "I suppose it won’t hurt to deepen my comprehension. Might as well read a bit before sleeping."

He returned to the beginning, this time reading carefully. The author’s insight captivated him almost instantly. The detailed explanation of fire was profound—far beyond anything Orion had ever learned in both his lives.

"Hmm, the author of this book was truly someone with profound knowledge... he thoroughly explained the essence of fire." He absentmindedly muttered while continuing to flip pages.

As he continued, the book described fire not just as heat or destruction, but as transformation—as passion and life itself—telling how all civilization began with a flicker of ember. It detailed mystical flames, magical combustions, and the subtle weaving of mana within every flame.

Unknowingly, Orion became deeply engrossed in his reading, turning pages slowly as his mind was filled with insights and understanding.

[Ahem, Master? I don’t want to interrupt your profound study, but you really should sleep soon. Tomorrow’s another big day!]

Orion blinked in surprise, startled out of his trance. He glanced outside; the moon had traveled significantly, marking the late hour clearly.

"You’re right, Lumi," he yawned softly, reluctantly closing the grimoire. "But this book... it’s incredible. My understanding of fire is already far deeper. I feel like I can form the Fire Rune without any guidance now."

[But will you try to form the Fire Rune now? ( ಠ_ಠ )]

Orion smirked, "Hah, of course... not." He wryly chuckled, "I don’t want to endanger myself like that again. I’ll just go to the academy and learn the basics first. Then I’ll try to form it again."

[Good, looks like Master really learned from his mistakes. (＾▽＾)／]

"Anyway, this book is really good. Now I can’t help but... want to gamble more so I can get more such books for different elements." He licked his lips, thinking about gaining various elemental books.

[Hehe, I knew Master would like it! However, getting various element books won’t be easy. And one as high level as this would be even more difficult. From what I’ve gathered, there’s less than a 10% chance of getting an Uncommon Grade Treasure.]

He lightly stretched and put the book back inside his storage ring. "Hmm, well, whatever. I’ll think about it when the time comes. It’s time for some beauty sleep."

[Sleep well! You deserve a good rest! (˘︶˘)♡]

Orion smiled gently and closed his eyes, quickly falling into the land of dreams as the moonlight continued to softly illuminate the room.
