'…Did I just get a cheat?'
The System's notification was still flickering in the corner of my vision.
After absorbing the core of the Founding Dragon, I'd received a strange, yet overwhelmingly powerful gift.
It had manifested as an ability—one that allowed me to form impenetrable shields around the boundaries of my domain.
A defense no ordinary force could breach.
But right now, none of that mattered.
I needed to heal.
I stretched my hand toward the pond ahead.
There, lying half-submerged in the patch of dirt where the massive stone had left a pit, was the Holy Grail—a golden chalice, faintly pulsing with divine light.
It wasn't just glowing—it radiated warmth, something that sank into my very bones.
The moment my domain brushed against it, the Grail shimmered… then dissolved into golden dust, which drifted toward me and was instantly absorbed into the heart of my domain.
