DOULUO: THE DRAGON GOD WITH GACHA

Under the vast canopy of the Origin Tree, Xuanyu sat cross-legged, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. The air around him pulsed with energy, a gentle hum resonating from the very foundation of his Little World.

Over the past three months, his world had expanded drastically, now stretching across 2,000 kilometers—an entire domain sculpted by his will.

Towering mountains loomed in the distance, rivers carved intricate paths through dense forests, and the very air was thick with world and elemental energies, ten times denser than the outside world. It was a haven, a place of cultivation, and a testament to his growth.

At the heart of it all stood the Origin Tree, its nine-colored leaves swaying gently despite the absence of wind. The tree radiated a mystical glow, acting as the stabilizing force of his domain. It nourished everything within this space, ensuring the land flourished in harmony with his power.

Xuanyu took a deep breath and extended his hand. A Heavenly Treasure filled with condensed Fire Element Energy materialized in his palm—a shimmering, red crystal that pulsed with an almost sentient heat.

His grip tightened. "Let's begin."

With that, he activated Runesmith.

A nine-colored light enveloped the treasure, and his bloodline vortex stirred to life. From within his very essence, the Dragon God Rune surfaced, bathing the world in divine radiance.

Immediately, an overwhelming pull on his spiritual power nearly brought him to his knees. His body tensed as his reserves were drained at an alarming rate.

"This… This is taking too much energy!" he gritted out, sweat beading on his forehead.

The treasure within his palm shattered—not into fragments, but into raw elemental essence. His power deconstructed it down to its most fundamental form, stripping away impurities and restructuring it into something new.

The nine-colored glow surrounding him contracted, focusing into a single point. Within that moment of absolute stillness, a Fire Rune was born. It hovered just above his palm, a complex structure of interwoven symbols burning with an internal flame, like a miniature sun.

As soon as it stabilized, a crushing wave of exhaustion hit him.

His vision blurred. His limbs trembled. His very soul felt hollow. Every last drop of his spiritual reserves had been consumed in the process.

Xuanyu collapsed onto the soft grass, gasping for breath.

Sensing his condition, the blue silver grass wrapped around the Origin Tree slithered toward him, coiling gently around his body. Gentle energy seeped from its leaves, washing over him in a comforting embrace. It restored his depleted energy, feeding him strands of pure world energy to accelerate his recovery.

Lying there, chest rising and falling rapidly, he turned his gaze to the glowing rune floating above his outstretched palm.

It was perfect.

The first success of Runesmith.

But if a single rune took this much out of him, then he still had a long way to go.

Despite the exhaustion, he smiled.

This was only the beginning.

-----

Half an hour later, Xuanyu sat upright, holding the newly-formed Fire Rune in his palm. It flickered like a tiny ember, releasing a steady warmth against his skin.

Looking at rune in his hand, Xuanyu smiled. Creating rune is an exhausting affair. To create a Rune a few things are essential. The core is basic knowledge about the element whose rune is to be condensed.

Then there are two ways of creating runes. One is to use something that have relation with the rune about to be condensed. For example, like he condensed this fire rune, he used a treasure which was rich in fire element.

Half of the energy of the treasure is used to condonse the rune and rest is used to increase the power of the rune.

This method is costly but much easier way to create rune, as the created rune would have more power.

The other method is using energy to create the rune, without any supporting treasure. This is more exhausting method, because it consumes more energy both physical, mental and spirtual.

------

Feeling curious, he infused it with soul energy.

Immediately, the rune responded.

A small spark ignited in the air before him, hovering like a candle flame. At first, it flickered gently, almost playful, but as he funneled more energy into it, the flame grew. It twisted and coiled like a living entity, the heat intensifying as it turned a brilliant white at its core.

The surrounding grass darkened, its edges curling as embers drifted down. The air wavered with the sheer heat, distorting the space around him. And yet, despite its ferocity, he felt no pain—only warmth.

Narrowing his eyes, he adjusted his control. The flames stretched and elongated, swirling into a thin stream before condensing into a sphere, now burning at a terrifying intensity.

It was pure fire.

Raw and untamed.

With a thought, he sent the flames forward, watching as they danced through the air in a fiery ribbon before dispersing into harmless embers.

Exhaling, he let the rune dim. The fire vanished, leaving only lingering warmth.

Xuanyu clenched his fist.

The Fire Rune worked.

Right now, its only functions were fire creation and providing passive fire resistance, but this was just the beginning. As he grew stronger and gained experience with the fire element, the rune itself would evolve, unlocking even greater abilities.

Satisfied, he placed the Fire Rune into his system inventory and closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, a new rune shimmered in his grasp.

The Ice Rune.

---

He infused soul energy, and instantly, an ice spear took shape in his palm.

Unlike before, where conjuring ice would take precise concentration and time, the rune streamlined the process. Within seconds, the spear was complete—its form crystal-clear and deadly sharp.

He took a moment to admire it before hurling it toward a nearby tree.

The spear struck true, piercing straight through the trunk with ease, leaving behind a layer of frost.

Xuanyu's eyes gleamed.

Before, controlling elemental constructs required delicate effort, but now, with the rune assisting him, the formation time was cut in half. Not only that, but his overall control over the element had greatly improved.

---

Next, he summoned the Silver Dragon King Rune.

As soon as it materialized, his hands transformed—silver dragon scales covered his skin, and his fingers sharpened into formidable claws.

Xuanyu closed his eyes, immersing himself in the newfound sensation.

The Silver Dragon King Rune acted like a conduit, deepening his connection with the elements. He could sense them more clearly, feel their flow within the atmosphere, and manipulate them with greater precision. Altough at this moment he can only control water element but he can feel other elements.

Dismissing it, he summoned the Golden Dragon King Rune next.

This time, a surge of raw power coursed through his veins. His strength and physical attributes received a small boost, and his draconic claws pulsed with the smash and tear attributes—abilities designed for overwhelming destruction.

After a few moments of testing, he took back the Golden Dragon King rune.

Now its time for the final test.

---

Taking a deep breath, he summoned the Dragon God Rune.

The moment it appeared, his hands transformed once more, but this time, they were covered in nine-colored scales. His eyes mirrored them, shining with an ethereal, multi-hued brilliance.

Power exploded from within him.

This was beyond anything he had felt before. His body's strength skyrocketed, reaching unprecedented heights. His blood roared like a dragon's might, his very being radiating an aura of supremacy.
