BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 Great Rewards
\'...\'
Old Dan stared without any visible emotion on his face at Raven before he sighed and said, "Just concentrate on what you wish to know and this magic system or whatever it is called will respond accordingly."
"I just have to concentrate on it?" Raven mumble quietly and did as Old Dan just said.
And soon enough, a magic panel he wished to see indeed appeared in his line of sight.
[Do you wish to collect your rewards?]
"Yes, I do."
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze appeared in the room the moment Raven said his reply despite no windows being open, and soon several items appeared on the desk before him.
Two small bottles filled with different colored liquids, one green and one black, two perfectly orb-shaped small crystals, each transparent like glass, a small slab with a strange symbol carved into its middle, and a piece of circular paper that was filled with tiny words that Raven couldn\'t understand.
"Wh-Why do you have so many rewards?" shocked upon seeing the number of items and objects appearing on the desk Old Dan\'s eyes widened and shifted his gaze between Raven and the rewards on the desk.
"Hm?" Raven looked at Old Dan before he raised his hand and started scratching his cheek, "Haha, well it was like this..."
Then, he quickly narrated how he was given the choice to randomize his Avatar Points so he could gain more rewards as the result.
"Sigh... Of course, you would do something like that. Why am I even surprised?" Old Dan massaged his temple before gesturing at the items, "Anyways, go ahead and check them out."
Raven nodded and quickly grabbed the first item on the left which was the small bottle filled with green liquid.
------------
[Avatar Flask: Constitution]
• Description: By drinking the fluid from within this bottle your Constitution increases by 4 points!
-------------
"This..." Raven\'s eyes widened slightly when he saw the small magic panel materializing beside the bottle before he went and grabbed the other bottle with the black liquid within.
-------------
[Avatar Flask: Strength]
• Description: By drinking the fluid from within this bottle your Strength increases by 3 points!
-------------
"One increases my Strength while the other my Constitution?" Raven mumbled before he watched with awe how his manual on his side opened on its own and words started to form in it, seemingly being the description of the Avatar Flask!
"Raven, you must make sure to never collect your rewards before others, just only before those you truly trust from the bottom of your heart." Old Dan explained as he went and snatched one of the Avatar Flasks away, showing Raven an obvious reason.
"I will remember that." Raven nodded as he watched Old Dan placing the bottle back on the desk before grabbing both crystals in his hand, one in his right while the other one rested in his left.
-----------
[Artifact Crystals: Small Piece]
• Description: Shattering above an Artifact allows its Form to increase by 1! Can only increase Artifact until the Legendary Grade!
-----------
Both crystals\' magic panels showed the same description which was not a huge revelation to Raven as both looked the same.
After placing both crystals back onto the desk, this time Raven extended his hand toward the small tablet with the weird symbol on it. However, this time the moment his fingers came into contact with the item no magic panels appeared but instead turned into a white light which quickly melted into his body.
[Rune Mark: Death Runner acquired!]
\'Death Runner?\' Raven was confused and quickly opened the description of this newly acquire Rune Mark while ignoring how his manual on his side once again flipped over several pages and created words within.
---------
[Rune Mark: Death Runner]
• Grade: Epic
• Description: Passively increases your Speed and Constitution by 3 points! When your Vitality falls below 30 points you gain an additional 3 points for Speed and Constitution!
---------
"Seems quite a useful Rune Mark if you ask me." Old Dan mumbled as he read Raven\'s newly acquired passive ability.
~~~
° Vitality: 2 [0]
° Mystique: 2 [0]
° Strength: 1 [0]
° Speed: 3 [3]
° Constitution: 1 [3]
° Dexterity: 0 [0]
~~~
Just like what he saw when Old Dan showed his own Avatar Traits, Raven watched how he also got bonus digits besides his Speed and Constitution.
Furthermore, he also noticed that on the left area of his chest a small black tattoo representing a running person appeared!
"According to our manual, Rune Marks are akin to Artifacts, granting various powers but in a way where they require no special events or Mystique to be activated. They seem to work passively." Old Dan explained calmly.
Raven nodded as that was the same conclusion he ended up with, thus after pondering for a second or two he went to grab the last item which was the circular paper with numerous mysterious words written on it.
"I did not acquire anything like that, so I do not know what that is." Old Dan pointed out and watched as a small magic panel materialized beside the small paper in Raven\'s hand.
---------
[Item: Realm Gate Detector]
• Rarity: Rare
• Description: A simple item that can be used to find Realm Gates in exchange for Mystique. For every 10 points of Mystique the item\'s detection radius increases by a mile!
----------
"Realm Gates? What are those?" Raven and Old Dan looked at each other but soon their questions were answered as the manual on their sides opened and words began to form within them.
-----------
[Realm Game Information]
• Realm Games: Various games performed in separate spaces by the Goddess of Contests and Games, Etia!
• Realm Gates: Entrances that connect the real world with the Empty World where Realm Games took place. Realm Gates appear at random locations in your world that can be accessed by anyone and anything!
-----------
Once Raven read the context of his manual his face turned rather ugly and couldn\'t help but remember the sight where thousands of individuals died on the spot just because of mentioning that deity\'s name.
"Interesting." Old Dan mumbled once he finished reading before glancing at the clock on the wall and asking, "We still have time before Thomas arrives so how about if we try out that detector and see how it works?"
Raven pondered over Old Dan\'s question, but as he too was curious he nodded, and just like how he did with his Moon Rabbit Slippers, which were still on his feet, he activated the Realm Gate Detector for 10 points of Mystique.
