First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Limitless System V3

’Come on...’ Orion inwardly muttered, lying inside his tent as he saw the countdown of the system slowly reaching zero.

The group was once again camping in the night, and Fiora, Rina, and Orion were inside one tent.

By now, both Fiora and Rina had gone to sleep after chatting with Orion.

He lay alone at a side, looking at the ticking time, on which only a few seconds were remaining.

[00:00:07]

His eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at the timer. He couldn’t wait for Lumi to come back, and the new system features.

[Ding!]

[Limitless.exe is back online!!!]

[System Core: Lumi has awakened (★ω★)!]

A soft, familiar voice echoed through Orion’s Sea of Consciousness with a mix of sleepiness and joy.

[Nyuuu... haaaah~ Finally! System reboot complete!(≧◡≦)]

Lumi’s voice cracked slightly, like she was stretching after a long nap.

[M-Master, I’m baaaack~! Did you miss me? Of course you did! Look at you staring at the timer!]

Orion couldn’t stop the small smile from forming on his lips. His heart genuinely felt lighter. ’Same... as ever.’

’You’re loud,’ he replied inwardly in a playful tone.

[Ehh?! That’s all I get?! Not even a welcome hug?! Or a ’Lumi-chan I missed you sooo much’?!(ಥ﹏ಥ)]

Her voice pouted dramatically.

[You threw me away the last time I came online as well! Do you really hate me so much!?｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡]

’I never said that I hated you,’ he silently said.

[Does that mean Master loves Lumi???(⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)]

’Now now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I also didn’t say that.’ He inwardly chuckled.

[Hmph! I will get you one of these days. Anyway~! Allow me to announce—drumroll please~!]

[Limitless System V3—Fully Installed!]

[New Feature Unlocked:]

[1 - Chronicle of Trials: Issue quests to Master based on his Fate and World Events.]

[2 - The Forgotten Archive: Unlock hidden history, ancient races, and relic knowledge by encountering key triggers.]

Orion frowned, looking at the first new feature. ’Quests? Will I be forced to do quests that I don’t want to? Or will there be penalties for not doing them?’

[Master can choose to accept or reject the missions. And there will be no penalties for rejecting or failing a quest. However, there will be consequences that might affect you directly, indirectly, or not at all.]

Orion’s frown deepened. He contemplated this for a bit before exhaling a sigh.

’Then what about the rewards? There should be something for completing the missions, right?’

[Of course!(ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ Master will get System Points for completing missions.]

’...’ Orion speechlessly looked at the system prompt, ’Do you want me to gamble so bad?’

[Worry not, Master! For the new update has brought more ways for you to use SP!]

This instantly piqued Orion’s interest. ’Oh? Tell me about them.’

[Master can now use SP to expand the Inventory. For only 900 SP, host can get 90 more Inventory Slots!]

’Oh? Can I buy a single Inventory Slot for 10 SP?’ he immediately asked.

[Sorry Master, but it’s only available for bulk purchase. (⋟﹏⋞)]

’Hmm... alright. Is there any other way to use it, or is it only for expanding Inventory?’ he asked.

[There is another way, of course, Master. You will need SP to use the second new feature—The Forgotten Archive.]

Lumi softly said with a slightly sad voice. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Slowly, their sleepiness went away as Rina softly whispered to Fiora, "Don’t you think he seems... light-hearted now?"

Fiora quickly nodded her head a couple of times. "A-All this time there was this weird sense of h-heaviness coming from him. But now... he seems peaceful."

They both continued to stare at him for a bit more.

"Uh... maybe it’s because he is sleeping?" Rina said without confidence.

Fiora tilted her head but also couldn’t come to a conclusion.

"Anyways, let’s go out and help out with cooking. We gotta learn how to cook top-tier food for Master," Rina said before standing up.

Fiora quickly followed her out of the tent.

Orion woke up after a while. "Mmmm..." He stretched his upper body. "Good morning, Lumi," he softly said.

[Good Morning, Master!!!!(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ ]

He softly smiled, seeing how energetic Lumi was first thing in the morning. Standing up, he walked out of the tent, looking at everyone sitting beside the campfire while chatting.

"Ah, good morning lad. Were you exhausted last night that you slept so long?" Eldric winked at him and asked.

Orion’s lips twitched. "I was awake till late at night because I couldn’t sleep."

Selene looked at him worriedly. "Do you have some issue, dear? Tell me and I will fix it if it’s within my capabilities."

Orion quickly shook his head. "It’s nothing serious, Grandma. I was just excited about reaching the capital today."

Selene heaved a sigh of relief. "Haa... so it was this."

Edgar chuckled. "You won’t be disappointed in Stormspire, Young Master. It’s absolutely a top-tier city even among Empires. And the view there is just on a whole other level."

Orion walked toward them and sat down. "Have you been to the Capital, Uncle Edgar?"

Edgar stroked his beard. "Of course. It’s truly one of a kind. You better prepare your heart to not pass out from shock after seeing it."

Orion pretended to stroke his non-existent beard. "I see, I see. Looks like Uncle Edgar passed away from shock the first time he went to visit the capital."
