Chapter 56: Dragon Sighting
His claws brushed aside a layer of ice dust as something shimmered beneath the fallen Ice Giant’s remains.
It wasn’t a core or a typical loot crystal.

Even his system offered no detailed explanation.
But deep within the orb, he could sense something. A faint heartbeat. A slumbering presence.
