First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System

"Grandpa, Grandma, thank you," Orion said sincerely, his heart lighter than ever. "But there is one more thing I want to tell you…"

This time both Selene and Eldric's lips twitched. "Do you want to kill us with shocks, lad?" Eldric dryly asked.

Selene quickly nodded in full agreement with Eldric's words, placing a hand gently over her heart as she feigned distress, though her smile betrayed her playful intent. "Truly, my dear, you have been giving us nonstop shocks ever since you woke up. If you keep this up, you'll age us even more."

Orion couldn't help but chuckle, quickly shaking his head in playful defense. "Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry, it's not another shocking revelation about my origin or lineage."

His smile softened into seriousness, though his eyes retained warmth and excitement. "This is related to one of the treasures given to me by that mysterious entity."

Instantly, Eldric and Selene's expressions shifted, their curiosity clearly piqued. Eldric leaned forward, eyebrows raised in genuine interest. "What kind of treasure?"

Orion paused thoughtfully, carefully considering how best to explain the concept of a gacha system, something entirely foreign to this world. After a brief moment, he began slowly and clearly, ensuring they understood each detail.

"It's a rather unusual treasure known as the 'Gacha System.' Essentially, by spending ten High-Grade Mana Crystals, it allows me to perform one random draw. Each draw grants me a treasure or item whose value can range anywhere from Tier 1 to beyond Tier 9."

Orion explained, closely watching their reactions as he continued. "This is also the primary reason behind why I opened Limitless Haven's shop."

Eldric and Selene exchanged a silent glance, eyes widening significantly as they realized the magnitude of Orion's revelation.

Selene's expression shifted from playful amusement to serious astonishment as she leaned closer. "Orion, this treasure of yours, it's practically an inexhaustible money-generating tool if used correctly."

Eldric slowly exhaled in amazement, his voice carefully steady despite clear excitement. "Indeed, something of this nature could entirely shift the balance of economic power within the continent. What exactly are your plans for utilizing it?"

Orion nodded firmly, his voice filled with quiet confidence. "I plan to continuously grow Limitless Haven, transforming it from a mere popular shop into a massive continental business. With the endless supply of unique treasures and items from the Gacha System, Limitless Haven's growth potential is immense."

Pausing slightly, Orion met both their gazes steadily, sincerity and slight worry showing clearly in his dual-colored eyes. "But I need your help, Grandma, Grandpa. If other Noble Houses or even the Royal House find out the shop's treasures originate solely from me, things might get a little complicated."

"So, I'd like your support to slowly spread the rumors that the one supplying treasures to the house are you two. That way, the shop won't attract unwanted suspicion or hostility toward myself."

Selene lightly chuckled. "So you want us to become your scapegoat, huh."

Orion lightly smiled and nodded.

Without hesitation, Eldric nodded decisively. His voice carried unwavering resolve as he affirmed, "Consider it done, lad. That's an intelligent move, and we'll fully support your efforts."

Selene's expression softened warmly, her voice gentle yet filled with certainty. "Yes, we'll do whatever it takes to protect you and your vision for Limitless Haven."

Gratitude filled Orion's chest, and he smiled openly, deeply relieved and touched by their support.

The trio continued chatting quietly, sharing further ideas and plans for how best to develop the business, ensuring Orion's vision would thrive safely and successfully.

However, as their discussion flowed comfortably, Orion briefly considered revealing the existence of Lumi and the broader Limitless System.

But just as he pondered this idea, an unsettling, ominous sensation suddenly washed over him, his instincts screaming caution. Orion's brows furrowed subtly as he inwardly listened carefully to this sudden, intense gut feeling.

'Perhaps now isn't the right time to reveal everything,' Orion inwardly thought, swiftly discarding the idea. Trusting his intuition, he decided to remain silent about Lumi and the full extent of his system for now.

As their pleasant discussion slowly concluded, Orion stood from his seat, preparing to leave Eldric's study. Just as he reached the door, Eldric suddenly called out, tossing a small object swiftly toward Orion.

Reacting instinctively, Orion easily caught the item, quickly recognizing it as a storage ring. Confusion filled his eyes as he turned back toward Eldric, his voice carrying curious uncertainty. "Grandpa, what is this?"

Eldric chuckled softly, reclining comfortably in his chair with an amused, knowing smile. "Why don't you look inside for yourself, lad?"

Intrigued, Orion carefully extended his consciousness into the ring, immediately stunned by what he discovered within.

Massive piles of High-Grade Mana Crystals filled his view, their gentle radiance illuminating the inner space brilliantly. Counting swiftly, Orion realized the total was around an astonishing hundred thousand crystals.

His eyes widened significantly as he stared at Eldric in genuine shock and disbelief. "Grandpa, how… how did you obtain so many Mana Crystals?"

Eldric softly laughed, his eyes twinkling playfully yet with subtle pride as he explained lightly, "Brat, if one were to live as long as I have and still couldn't gather at least this much wealth, he should just end himself in embarrassment." Hеlp us оut by rеаding оn МVLЕМРYR.

At that moment, Selene's amused laughter rang gently through the room, drawing both Orion and Eldric's attention.

Her voice carried playful teasing as she chuckled softly, "Dear, this isn't even considered that much. If you ever need more, just ask me. I'm easily tens of times wealthier than this stingy old man here."

Eldric's previously proud smile immediately froze, his expression turning comically stiff as he glared indignantly at Selene.

He quickly shot back defensively, "You're a damn Runesmith, woman! Of course you're richer! Everything I possess was painstakingly accumulated with my own blood and sweat!"

Orion watched in mild amusement as Eldric and Selene swiftly fell into playful bickering, each attempting to outdo the other with exaggerated claims of wealth and hard work.

Shaking his head gently, Orion finally interrupted their teasing argument with a heartfelt smile.

"Grandma, Grandpa, thank you both—truly. Your support means the world to me," Orion said warmly, sincere gratitude clear in his voice.

Their playful argument ceased immediately, Eldric and Selene's expressions softening with deep warmth and pride.

Selene gently squeezed Orion's shoulder affectionately, her voice soft and full of love. "You never need to thank us. It's our greatest joy to support you."

Eldric nodded quietly, his voice equally tender. "Yes, lad. Remember, we're always here for you, no matter what."

Orion gave them a final, appreciative smile before stepping out of the study, his heart lighter and filled with excitement.

Walking back towards his room, his footsteps echoed softly in the grand corridor, illuminated gently by the warm golden glow of ornate mana lamps hanging along the walls.

The evening air felt cool yet comforting, filled with a faint floral fragrance drifting in from the mansion's gardens.

His heart felt unusually light, excitement surging through him as his thoughts replayed the incredible gift he'd just received.

He inwardly sighed with mixed amusement and mild regret. 'Fuck, I really should have told them everything sooner. Who would've expected Grandpa to casually toss me a fortune like that?'
