My Blood Wizard System
**Chapter 82 – Mortal Christmas**
** December 24, 2030 – Hot Springs, Arkansas**
Christmas morning smells like smoked mici, fresh mămăligă, and pine needles.
No rifts.
No bosses.
Just quiet.
I wake up in my childhood bedroom—Remy sprawled beside me, one arm over my waist, braids tickling my shoulder.
The crown is quiet, spinning slow and content.
The system is silent too—no pings, no alerts.
