Chapter 17 The Chest of Luck

Name:I Only Tame Dragons Author:


At the brief respite, Horizon could no longer resist the urge to open the chest that had been gnawing at him relentlessly.

With a simple press of the blinking icon at the side of his screen, the two silver chests and one golden chest materialized before him, glowing with a tantalizing light.

Von, who had been keeping a watchful eye, stared in shock, his mouth agape. "Wait . . . No Valerian or even Eternian can do that. Hold on .

. . Are you a human from the ARK?"

Horizon remained silent, the current situation had shifted his plans. He wasn't ready to reveal his true identity, knowing that some Eternians and possibly Valernians despised humans for being invasive outsiders.

Humans were the only ones granted access to [Missions] and [Quests], with rewards materializing in the form of chests.

This unique ability set them apart, but it also made them targets.

It was still a mystery why that was, but Von was right — no Valerian or Eternian could summon a chest from thin air.

Typically, looting required a native's careful touch. It was also true for humans from the ARK. But spoils from [Quests] and [Missions] appeared instantly, forming into chests as if by magic.

"Is that going to be a problem?" Horizon asked, locking eyes with Von.

"You lied to me."

"I didn't lie. I just didn't mention that I'm human."

Von sighed, rubbing his temples in frustration. "I guess it's my fault for trusting so easily."

"So, do you have an issue with me being a human from another world?"

Von shook his head. "Not really. I don't have the same hatred as the others. Some humans here in Drakha and Eternia are decent — seems like they're everywhere nowadays."

"Yeah, we reproduce like rabbits, or so I've heard," Horizon quipped.

Von chuckled. "I heard that too. But I want you to know this doesn't change anything. In fact, I'm glad you're human. It means you have access to this otherworldly stuff — like summoning chests out of thin air that contained cool items!"

"But will all this fit in your bag?" Von asked, eyeing the small [Beginner's Backpack] slung over Horizon's shoulder.

"We can share the potions," Horizon suggested, handing half of them to Von. "I'll keep the rope and the tent."

"Are you sure?" Von hesitated, clearly touched by the offer.

Horizon nodded. "It's also smarter not to put everything in one place. If I'm in trouble and lose my bag, you can heal me with the potions, and vice versa."

"That's a great idea!" Von agreed, tucking the potions away.

Now, only the Gold chest remained. Horizon took a deep breath, feeling the weight of anticipation. He reached for the chest, hoping his luck would hold out. If it did, he might get the equipment upgrade he desperately needed.

With a swift motion, he opened the chest, betting on his luck to get a decent equipment at least.

|| Bone Armor ||

Very Rare, Dragonkin Class

This eerie armor is crafted from the bleached bones of Nix'Udjar dragonkin, fused together with dark magic. The chestplate is composed of interlocking rib bones, creating a jagged, yet protective, exoskeleton.

The pauldrons resemble dragon skulls, with hollow eye sockets that seem to watch your every move.

The armor is lightweight yet durable, with spiked bracers and greaves that add to its menacing appearance. A faint, ghostly aura surrounds the armor, hinting at the lingering spirits of the dragons from which it was made.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

❶ Spectral Shield: The armor can generate a temporary ethereal barrier that absorbs a portion of incoming damage.

❷ Dragon's Resolve: Increases the wearer's resistance to fear and intimidation, making them nearly unshakable in battle.
