"Have you both calmed down now?" he softly asked.
They nodded their heads, but neither wanted to leave his embrace. He helplessly smiled and patted their backs softly, "So, from now on, do not think that I will abandon you just because I got busy with some work. Understand?"
They nodded their heads and slowly left his embrace, their faces looked reluctant but they knew they couldn’t stay there forever.
Orion looked at them with a gentle smile. Reaching out with his hand, he caressed their cheeks and wiped off their tears.
"See, you two look so cute without tears. No need to cry now, alright?" he chuckled and said.
Both of them finally cracked a smile on their tear-stricken faces.
They continued to chat for a while longer before the two of them bid him goodnight and left.
He went to his bed and dropped down in exhaustion. "Haa... that was tiring. Didn’t expect so much to happen in one day."
[You did great today, Master! (＾▽＾)]
He softly smiled, "You helped me out a bunch as well with those quests. Thanks." Not even a single second passed before he said those words, a notification popped up in front of him.
[New Quest Triggered!]
[Beginning of a Legend.]
[Description: Form your first Affinity Rune successfully.]
[Time Limit: One Week]
"..." He speechlessly stared at the screen ahead. "You..."
Orion couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha you are the best, Lumi."
[Hehehe, anything for Master!! (๑>ᴗ<๑)]
"Alright then, since I got 300 SP, it’s that time again," he said with a slightly excited voice.
[You sure you don’t want to save those points for later? You seem to spend all your points as soon as you get them...]
Orion waved his hand. "I can get more points later. Nothing wrong with trying to gain treasures. Who knows, I might get a legacy of a Great Mage?"
[That’s the spirit! Alright, Master, initiating Gambling interface! (ﾉ>◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧]
[Total Available SP: 307]
[Draw Cost: 10 SP per pull]

"Yes," he said, sitting up straight and cracking his knuckles as he stretched slightly, "Let’s see what fate has for me this time."
[Hehe~ Wait! Wait! We need the Gacha Blessing BGM! ♫⌒(๑•ᴗ•๑)⌒♪]
Suddenly, a vivid orchestral tune echoed through his Sea of Consciousness, a dramatic, adventure-fantasy soundtrack with trumpets, rising drums, and mysterious chanting in the background.
"...What the hell is this budget anime opening?" he muttered.

"Good, good. It might not be an all-encompassing legacy, but it’s good enough. Though, what is Exalted Rank? Is it one of the ranks above Tier 9?" He rubbed his chin while guessing.

"...Yeah, yeah. You did good. But the empty rate actually increased this time. It was over 30%."
[Hmm, I think the value of SP you get from various ways is different.]
