Lumi didn’t immediately answer. Her tone, when it came, was thoughtful. More serious than usual.
[It’s your lineage. More specifically, both your Fire Dragon and Thunder Dragon bloodlines are True Emperor-grade. You’ve inherited traits directly from them, including their emotional cores. True Dragons are not gentle beings, Master. Especially Fire and Thunder Dragons—two of the most destructive dragons out there.]
Orion frowned. ’So... you’re saying they’re inherently quick to rage?’
[No, not just rage—destruction. Their nature itself is destructive. Their instincts are built on dominance. When you activated Dragon Instinct, you didn’t just get faster reaction speed. You also amplified your emotions many times more.]
That explained a lot. He hadn’t been angry before activating the Dragon Instinct. But the moment he activated it, the mere thought of being challenged by a worthless trash like Aeron seemed far too offensive to him.
Orion exhaled slowly. ’Is there any way to control it?’
[Of course! That’s what training is for. You don’t have full control of your Dragon Instincts due to your young age. You are still only a Hatchling among Dragons, after all. After your second evolution, maybe it will get better.]
’Maybe?’ he asked speechlessly.
[Hehe I’m not sure since you are a special case, Master. Most True Dragons can’t fully control their instincts until they are Young Adults.]
’Hmm...’ He shut his eyes, letting the silence return for a moment.
[But hey, on the plus side—you looked really cool when you smacked that guy’s shoulder into pieces! (*≧▽≦)]
Orion smirked. ’Yeah, well... let’s try to master Dragon Instinct sooner so I won’t end up killing someone accidentally.’
[Good, that’s the way to think for moving forward!]
He shook his head with a chuckle, then shifted under the blanket. ’Anyway. Let’s talk about something practical now. I got 1070 High Grade Mana Crystals today from selling those artifacts. Can I use them to upgrade my inventory?’
[Absolutely! You have 7 System Points right now, and you need 900 to expand the inventory from 10 to 100 slots.]
Orion blinked. ’So I should have enough, right? Oh, I need to convert Mana Crystals into System Points first.’
[Yep! I can do it for you. Just say the word.]
’How much do I get from High Grade Crystals?’
[Standard exchange rate is 1 High Grade Mana Crystal = 1 System Point. So for 1070 crystals... you’ll get 1100 SP.]
’Did you fail your math exam?’
[(¬_¬)]
[It’s due to the uneven distribution of Mana among them—some have higher, some lower. The System transforms the Mana inside the Crystals, not the number of them.]
’Ah, I forgot about that. Been a while since I exchanged Mana Crystals for SP.’
[So, do you want to upgrade the Inventory, or... GO GAMBLING!!!]
’...’
He speechlessly looked at the system screen, seeing her so excited about it. ’You just want me to suffer. Are you trying to make me sink deeper and deeper into gambling addiction?’
[Cough, nothing like that, Master. I just thought you might get something better from gambling than inventory expansion. Like maybe an Inner World Seed which you can grow in your body? Then you can store all the things in the world you want.]
Orion, listening to her words, felt a flicker of temptation rise—but he hurriedly shook his head, brushing it off like a bad idea. ’I have more chances of stumbling across a Divine Sword in this world than getting an Inner World Seed from Gacha.’
Lumi’s voice piped up again, tone mischievous and full of barely restrained excitement.
[So should I expand the Inventory? Or—]
He sighed, rubbing his temple. ’Just expand the inventory.’
She giggled softly, her tone laced with teasing charm.
[Are you sure, Master? Maybe not an Inner World Seed, but like, something to make you grow stronger in a short while?]
His brows twitched. ’Expand the inventory.’
[Are you sure?] she asked again, this time with a mock-innocent tone.
Orion raised his hand as if to throttle someone through the air and muttered through a tired sigh, ’Yes.’
[Should I lock in your choice?] Lumi pressed on sweetly.
He stared at the System screen, expression deadpan. A long pause passed.
’...Yes.’
[You sure you won’t regret it?] she added with the tone of a devil whispering on his shoulder.
Orion let out an audible groan, collapsing back into the bed as he pulled the blanket over his face. ’Fucking hell, just expand it, you damn gambling addict.’
[Ding!]
