Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 3 Infinite Crown
Nemesis flapped its wings and returned to its nest through the gap in the second-floor ceiling - a bed covered with carpet and dozens of gold coins and gems.

He curled himself up into a ball comfortably and gave the command in his mind.

"Mind, open the panel."

A light curtain that no one could see appeared in front of Nemesis. It was his biggest secret since he traveled through time, and it was also the golden finger on which he depended for survival.

Witnessed the miracle: the birth of Nemesis

"Sure enough, after this sleep, the warlock's level has also been raised to the level of second-level spells. It seems that what is said in the bloodline inheritance is true. For each life level of the scroll dragon, it will gain a higher level of spellcasting ability!"

Nemesis put away the small light board with satisfaction. Before falling asleep, his mage level had reached level 4, but his warlock level was still only level 2. Growing from a young dragon to a young dragon, his warlock level increased by two levels.

According to the rules set by the goddess of magic, Mystra, spellcasters will gain one level higher in spellcasting ability at each odd-numbered level. For example, 1st and 2nd level mages can cast 3st level spells, while 4rd and th level mages can cast nd level spells.

By analogy, when the spellcaster reaches level 17, he or she will reach the end of the mortal world - gaining the ability to cast nine-ring spells.

Of course, there are legendary spells above this, but that is no longer within the control of mortals. Only true geniuses and races at the top of the universe like true dragons can access it.

"Miracle, what exactly is a miracle?" Nemesis sighed and grabbed a handful of gold coins to rub his scales on his body.

A scroll dragon is a creature with an extremely weak body, and what's even more tragic is that the power of its spells is also very weak at low levels. Therefore, the families of scroll dragons often pamper their young dragons and never let them grow up alone.

Unfortunately, Nemesis is the exception.

As a true dragon that only exists in the Mechanical Realm, the dragon egg carrying Nemesis was unfortunately left on the continent of Faerun for some reason. Without any elders to rely on, he faced the challenge of death at birth.

His frail body and fragile fingers prevented him from even catching a hare.

In the three days after eating the broken shell of the dragon egg, Nemesis had no chance to eat and was facing the situation of starving to death.

Fortunately, a meerkat happened to be nearby when he was born.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps the meerkat sensed the young dragon's plight, so it caught many fruits and insects and pushed them in front of Nemesis.

Nemesis ate voraciously, stuffing all the edible food into his stomach. He finally felt alive again.

And it was at that moment that he awakened his golden finger - the Infinite Crown.

An illusory fleshy crown appeared above his head, and a gentle female voice rang out in his heart:
"The miracle - the birth of Nemesis has been witnessed." "Following the guidance of the miracle, your servant - the mind, will serve you from now on."
-
Five years have passed since he was born, and Nemesis has survived safely until now, relying on the power of the Infinity Crown.

The so-called infinite crown refers to the illusory flesh crown on his head.

According to what his mind told him, the seven gaps in the crown represent seven infinite gems with different abilities. The first gem that accompanied his birth was the Mind Gem, and the condition for obtaining the gem was to witness a miracle.

Every time Nemesis witnesses an unparalleled miracle, he will obtain a new Infinity Stone, and the power of the stone is extremely powerful.

Each Infinity Stone has a primary ability and a secondary ability.

For example, the Mind Gem, its main power gives Nemesis the mental ability to control any living creature, and this ability will continue to increase as Nemesis grows.

Its secondary ability is to increase the user's spellcasting resources tenfold, which in Nemesis' case means multiplying all the spell rings by tenfold! You know, the number of times a spell can be cast is extremely limited and important to a spellcaster. Even a legendary wizard's number of first-ring spells is far less than eighty, a terrifying number.

Relying on these two extremely powerful abilities, Nemesis survived the difficult years as a young dragon.

As for the panel, Nemesis had his mind create it specifically for him so that he could check his own abilities.

The mind is the embodiment of the power of the mind in the mind gem, and is an intelligent being like the tower spirit in the wizard tower.

The wisdom of the meerkat was created by the mind through the power of the mind under the instruction of Nemesis.

"Hey"

Nemesis gave up thinking, and to this day, he still doesn't understand what the miracle that his heart speaks of is.

You know, in the continent of Faerun where the gods exist, even bringing the dead back to life is something that can be done.

"Mind, is resurrection really not a miracle?" Nemesis asked somewhat depressedly.

"A so-called miracle is something that transcends time and the limitations of the world. When you see it, you will know it." It was still the same answer as usual.

"An existence that transcends time and the world." Nemesis muttered to himself as he looked at the azure sky through the shabby wooden window.

"Forget it, let's think about what to eat tonight. The group of wild boars in the east seem to have given birth to piglets. Hmm... I suddenly have the urge to eat roasted suckling pig." said the white dragon.

Just as he was about to fly into the sky, the meerkat rolled and crawled to the second floor.

"What's wrong with you, Pengpeng?" Nemesis was a little puzzled. Could it be that some ignorant humans came here to search for treasure again?

The meerkat Pumbaa froze when he heard Nemesis' question. Although he had been called that name for five years, every time Nemesis called him that name, he always felt that it should be a warthog who called him that name.

"Gnolls, so many gnolls, they are coming here led by a human in a black robe!" Peng Peng said with some fear.

Nemesis's expression turned a little solemn. He was very familiar with most of this forest, but he had never seen a gnoll before!
