The First Dragon God-Chapter 61: Growing Stronger, An Upcoming Event?

Later that night, Leo lay on his bed, waiting for sleep to come and claim him. He tossed around in his bed but no matter how much he waited, sleep didn’t come.

Seeing that he was still going to be awake for a long time, he decided to go through the event of yesterday’s night when he checked the orbs that dropped from the mutant ape.

Just as Leo expected and guessed, the three blue orbs were rare grade items and the purple orb contained an epic grade item.

From the three blue rare grade orbs, Leo got two skill scrolls and one equipment. It was actually an accessory.

As for the purple orb, he got an epic grade skill. Till date, it was the highest grade he has received

Leo was very satisfied with the rewards he got. One of the rewards he was most satisfied with was the accessory.

He looked at the silver ring on his right ring finger. The surface of the ring was etched with intricate, swirling carvings, resembling what looks like symbols. The patterns seemed to shift subtly under the light, as if carrying a certain meaning to them.

Leo focused his attention on the ring and a status screen showing its information popped up above it.

[Ring of Relentless Regeneration] (Rare)

Effect: Passively regenerates 1% stamina every 5 seconds.

Active: Boosts stamina regeneration by 200% for 30 seconds. Cost: 50 mana. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

.....

Without a doubt, the ring was overpowered. Having a passive effect of regenerating 1% stamina every five seconds wasn’t something that can be scoffed at.

And not only that, it can actively regenerate his mana by 200%. Though the cost looks like it’s steep as it’s almost half of Leo’s Mana, but with almost how easily he can increase his Mana by increasing his Intelligence, he doesn’t find the cost to be steep.

Leo had no idea that others weren’t exactly lucky to have such a high amount of Mana at the start.

For the other three items, the two rare grade skills and epic grade skill, Leo didn’t know what to say about them.

[Predator’s Instinct] (Rare)

Effect: Passively detects life forms within a 100-meter radius. +15 Agility.

[Ravenous Regeneration] (Rare)

Effect: Passively converts mana into stamina at a rate of 1% of total stamina per 10 mana spent. Minor injuries regenerate instantly without cost.

Active: Restores up to 20% of total stamina, consuming mana proportional to the amount recovered. Cooldown: 1 minute.

[Berserker’s Roar] (Epic)

Effect: Activate the skill, releasing a deafening roar that stuns enemies within 20 meters for 3 seconds and reduces their Stamina by 10% + 1% for every 10 Strength beyond 50 for 10 seconds. Grants the user +15% Strength and Agility for 10 seconds after use.

Drawback: Reduces mana regeneration by 10% for 30 seconds. Cost: 40 Mana. Cooldown: 1 minute.

....

From just their description, one could see how extremely overpowered the skill is.

Though Leo was surprised that they mostly focuses more on regenerating his stamina, he didn’t mind it one bit.

He actually finds them to be beyond perfect. The skills have also boosted his stat by a great deal, and this how his stat screen looks now:

.....

The amount of skills hat Leo has has increased with just his fight with the mutant ape.

He couldn’t help but wish that he can meet more powerful mutant creatures so that he can get even more skills, level up faster and become even more powerful.

With the skills in his arsenal, Leo’s confidence increased greatly but he was sure not to be arrogant. He knew that even though he was strong and his level was in the double digit, he wasn’t invisible.

He knew that there would surely be even more powerful creatures that the mutant ape, but he wasn’t scared or bothered. Instead, he felt even more excited at the thought of meeting such monsters, fighting them and defeating them.

Leo didn’t have any grand plan but he wants to stand at the top of this cold and dangerous world. Not to rule it but to live comfortably without any worries, and he would do anything to achieve that.

"I’m very excited to see what the future holds."

Leo felt himself getting sleepy and he snuggled into his bed, but just when he about to fall asleep, he saw someone sitting in a corner of his room.

He looked towards it curiously and cautiously, and he saw that it was Tatiana.

"It took you this long to notice me? I’m very curious to know what occupied your mind to make you not notice my presence until now," Tatiana said with her usual slightly sensual voice.

Leo smiled as he switched on the bedside lamp and sat up onbm his bed, resting his back on the wall.

"Well, I didn’t expect you come visit me. Especially this late at night. Are you here to claim your part of the desk or something? I’m actually ready and don’t mind," Leo said with a smirk on his face.

Tatiana rolled her eyes when she heard Leo’s words. She felt that she made a mistake flirting and teasing Leo, as he’s now giving her a taste of her own medicine in full force.

"You wish. I’m here for something else."

"What a shame. I was actually ready to get down to work," Leo said with a disappointed expression on his face.

The expression faded the next second and was replaced with curiosity.

"Well, if you didn’t come for that. What is it then?" He asked.

Tatiana scoffed inwardly when she saw the look on his face.

’Tch. Shameless.’

She looked at him and turned her head towards the window, looking at the clear night sky.

"Remember when I told you about your world turning into a battleground soon?" She asked, as she continued to gaze at the night sky.

"Yes. It’s not something I can exactly forget easily," Leo replied, following Tatiana’s line of sight.

"Good. The event that will turn your world into a battleground is coming soon. It’s also related to our deal. I won’t tell you what the event is as you will get an announcement when it’s about to start.

What I will tell you is what you need to do and that is for you to increase your strength, and the trusted people around you as soon as possible. I don’t know when exactly the event will start but it will be soon. If I’m to take a guess, in a month time or two ," Tatiana said, and paused for a moment, allowing what she said to sink in before she continued.

"So, in coming days, I want you to increase your strength as much as possible. It would best if you can evolve into the Evolved Rank as it’s the only way you and those around you can survive what’s to come. I don’t want to scare you but the stake is high for the participants, and this is their last opportunity to obtain something that they all want badly. Something very important.

I won’t tell you what it is but you should just know that it’s also something that you will need. That’s if you want to continue growing stronger in the future. Also, take care of that rat. Don’t allow him to destroy what is yours before you make a move."

After saying what she wanted to say, Tatiana disappeared, leaving Leo in the cold, silence of the room.
