First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Returning

Orion’s eyes widened in astonishment as the stream of notifications flashed vividly across his vision. Each glowing line resonated deeply within him, heralding the transformations that had taken root.

The difference in progression percentages made him blink in surprise, especially the mere 1% in the Human Emperor bloodline. Before he could delve deeper into its meaning, Lumi’s excited voice echoed clearly within his consciousness,

[You started comprehending your legacies, Master!! (๑✧◡✧๑)]

Orion inhaled slowly, steadying himself at this realization. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Before he could respond aloud, however, reality shifted sharply around him, the void dissolving like mist under sunlight.

The familiar, modest library once again materialized around him, the faint scent of aged parchment and polished wood taking him back into reality.

The calm ambiance stood in stark contrast to the trials he had just faced, filling him with subtle comfort.

Tinkerer stood quietly in the same position as earlier, a gentle smile playing across his lips, eyes twinkling with amusement. “Looks like it was a successful adventure,” he remarked lightly, clearly having returned from lunch.

Orion turned slowly to face him, letting out a sigh tinged with relief and lingering astonishment.

A rueful smile curved his lips as he shook his head, he said, “It was far more dangerous than I expected. I wasn’t prepared for something quite like that when I arrived.”

Tinkerer merely chuckled softly, his eyes reflecting gentle understanding and pride. “The Akashic Library never offers easy knowledge,” he reminded kindly, “but you overcame admirably.”

His gaze drifted behind Orion, his expression growing subtly curious. “And it appears you’ve gained far more than just a simple spell.”

Orion raised an eyebrow, following Tinkerer’s line of sight. To his surprise, a crystal floated silently behind him, emitting a faint aura of darkness that felt rich and boundless.

Its surface pulsed gently, resonating harmoniously with his own newly acquired understanding. Inscribed clearly upon its surface, etched with refined yet intimidating script, read the title:

[Oblivion Codex of Eternal Night]

Orion hesitated briefly before reaching out. The moment his fingertips brushed against its cool, smooth surface, the crystal ceased floating and gently dropped onto his palm, its presence heavy with immense potential and profound knowledge.

Tinkerer’s voice resonated calmly beside him, breaking Orion’s contemplative trance. “That’s a top-tier grimoire, on the level of an Empyrean Grade treasure,” he explained casually, admiration flickering subtly in his tone.

“Not a bad reward for someone of your world. Yet, given your circumstances, this was the absolute limit your psyche could withstand safely. Had your cultivation or mental strength been higher, perhaps something even more profound might have been yours.”

Orion carefully stored the Oblivion Codex into his inventory, inwardly acknowledging the gravity of Tinkerer’s words.

Turning back towards the librarian, he inclined his head respectfully, sincerity filling his gaze. “Thank you for guiding me, and for everything.”

Tinkerer’s gentle smile deepened into an expression of quiet fondness. Shaking his head slightly, he spoke in a voice suffused with genuine warmth,

“It is truly rare to receive visitors here. I’m sincerely glad you arrived. Yet…” His gaze lingered thoughtfully upon Orion, “it appears our paths will cross again.”

Orion chuckled softly, turning his head toward the doorway, his gaze drifting thoughtfully toward the grand, limitless expanse outside, toward the luminous core of the Akashic Library itself, a beacon of endless wisdom.
