First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Name

The young warrior nodded slowly, clearly appreciating Orion’s sharp observation. "Indeed. There are rewards and benefits at every 10-step interval you achieve after the 50th step, and the ten highest-ranked climbers on the current floor each receive an additional special reward."

Orion’s interest was immediately piqued, and he leaned forward eagerly, curiosity evident in his eyes. "What reward?"

A subtle smirk emerged on the young man’s lips, his gaze faintly teasing. "Get yourself to the 10th place first, and you’ll find out."

Orion’s lips twitched slightly, feeling a faintly annoyed urge rise within him. Still, he held it down, instead shifting his gaze toward the serene first zone of meditation. "What about that place?" he asked, trying to steer his thoughts away from the previous teasing.

The young man followed Orion’s gaze, looking at the tranquil area filled with various beings peacefully meditating upon lotus flowers.

His voice grew somewhat more respectful as he explained, "Oh, that’s the comprehension zone. It holds limitless potential and uses. You can use it to train your techniques, comprehend deeper weapon mastery, explore your bloodlines, learn new techniques, and many other profound things. It’s essentially a perfect place for refining your soul, spirit, and abilities."

Orion slowly nodded, internalizing this crucial information. Just as he was about to inquire further about specifics, the young man stood up suddenly, stretching slightly. "Alright, it’s about time I headed out."

Orion quickly stood up as well, feeling compelled to at least exchange proper introductions. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Orion."

The young man paused, glancing back over his shoulder and replied with a smirk on his face, "The name’s Continuum."

The moment he finished speaking, the Golden Headband atop his brow gleamed brilliantly, emitting soft golden light as his form quickly blurred, fading from this mysterious space entirely.

Standing alone now, Orion stared thoughtfully at the spot Continuum had occupied just moments earlier. He was intrigued by the complexity of this Legacy Ground, and the notion of climbing the stairway ignited a burning curiosity within his heart.

Lumi’s voice gently broke Orion’s reverie, resonating with mild amusement and excitement in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Master, this Continuum person seems rather interesting. It looks like this Legacy Tower will be more challenging than we initially thought! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧]

Orion smiled softly, turning his gaze once more toward the glittering crystal staircase that stretched infinitely upward. Determination solidified in his chest, and he softly murmured to himself, ’Then I should start with that staircase.’

On a distant island far removed from Orion’s current realm, beneath an oppressive sky streaked with faint scarlet clouds, Continuum was crouched behind a large boulder.

He had just arrived back from the Trial Grounds as he exhaled a long breath, ’Hmm, I forgot to tell Orion that the Stairway difficulty is based on the talent and potential of the trial taker... oh well, he’ll figure it out.’

Shaking his head, he narrowed his eyes as he cautiously glanced around, sensing the violent energy permeating the air. He held his breath, remembering why he had run to the Trial Grounds.

Slowly, the golden headband on his brow shimmered gently before dissolving into ethereal golden particles that vanished into his Sea of Consciousness. Continuum sighed deeply, his expression relaxing slightly as he carefully stood, brushing dust from his tattered robes.

Just as he began to stretch, relieved at his temporary respite, a furious, earth-shaking roar resounded from the distance, echoing menacingly across the small island:

"LITTLE BASTARD! I WILL FIND YOU!"

Continuum flinched, his expression quickly shifting into one of extreme annoyance as he clicked his tongue loudly. "Tsk! Damn, it’s really hard to make a living in this cursed world," he grumbled bitterly, casting a wary glance in the direction of the enraged shout.

"I hope we can get a new Group Leader soon, otherwise I won’t have long to survive."
