The entirety of the hall became chaotic and every individual\'s eyes bulged out, threatening to fall out of their sockets the moment they heard who the person in front of them truly was.

"Dan? Daniel Wright? Is that really you?" the man with the unusual mustache and who was called David took a step forward and examined Old Dan\'s body from to bottom.

He was so absorbed in studying Dan\'s body from top to bottom that he completely ignored his wooden tobacco pipe, which he bought for 10,000 Novas, fell on the ground and cracked scarcely.

"Haha! You can\'t even recognize your old friend? Sigh... I don\'t know what to think. I am rather disappointed Davey." Old Dan shook his head helplessly, but from the way how he kept smiling it was obvious that he didn\'t mean his words and was only fooling around.

"Bu-But how in the greatest heaven..." David mumbled with sheer disbelief but soon realization hit him, to which he straightened his posture and remained silent.

In the past, such a sudden transformation would be impossible and many would doubt if the individual in front of them was real or not, but after experiencing numerous things just in the past one day, David and everyone else in the hall were forced to admit that everything they so far knew became useless and things will be no longer the same as they were.

Old Dan\'s new appearance proved this perfectly!

Standing beside Old Dan and watching as everyone was slowly approaching Old Dan, Raven decided to walk to the side where food and drinks were served in a very fashionable and neat manner.

"Where are you going?" noticing Raven was walking away, Luna quickly followed after him with a sweet smile on her beautiful face.

"Just over there. I kind of got hungry so thought I should fill my stomach."

Luna examined Raven\'s face for a second or two before nodding and saying, "Then I will accompany you."

Raven smiled softly and didn\'t say anything.

Ever since he was adopted by Old Dan he was always together with Luna, who like a little koala always clung to him and followed after him everywhere whenever time allowed her to do so.

There were even several times when she was together with him when he gambled in casinos, and while she was helping him win more than he used to win without her, he still used to lose 8 bets out of every 10!

For example, about a week ago the two of them went into a casino which was located not far away from Old Dan\'s mansion, from where he departed with a massive loss of 3,500 Novas which was around 8,000 USD during and before the Third World War!

Wait... Now that Raven thought about it, although he lost more than three grand, he still had to pay the debt back. No, not that, but the people he promised he would pay the money didn\'t come to find him which was rather strange.

\'Should I contact them? Although I still have to pay Old Dan back, if I sell the items from home I have found I am pretty sure I will be able to clear my debts with both them and Old Dan.\' Raven wondered as he grabbed a cookie from the table in front of him and threw it into his mouth.

\'Wait, now that I think about it, can\'t I use these to earn some money?\' suddenly a great idea appeared in Raven\'s head and as he saw that no one was looking at him as everyone\'s attention was on Old Dan he quickly collected the rewards he got after the second Realm Game.

Whoosh!

"Raven, aren\'t those-" feeling the gentle breeze on her face, Luna glanced at Raven and her eyes widened when she noticed what Raven was holding in his hands.

A small crystal resting on his right palm and two small bottles held by his left, one having a blue color while the other one having a brown!

Furthermore, Luna, just like Raven, was able to see how small floating panels appeared beside the bottles, the one beside the blue one stating it increased Dexterity by 5 while the brown gave 6 points to one\'s Constitution after drinking it!

"Shhh! Please not so loudly, Lulu." Raven placed subconsciously his index finger before Luna\'s cherry lips, taking her by surprise.

Seeing that luckily no one seemed to look in their direction as everyone was busy listening to Old Dan\'s story and talking with Lucas and Darwin, Raven sighed softly with relief and pulled his finger away from Luna\'s lips.

"Though, the answer to your question is, yes, these are the rewards I have gotten after we have completed a Realm Game father talked about."

"I see." Luna nodded and after pondering for a second asked, "Will you use them now?"

"Well, I was thinking about..."

Then, Raven proceeded in explaining how he would use these items to earn some money and pay all his debt. He also mentioned that because everything was unknown to everyone he could take advantage of it and sell these items for astronomical prizes!

​ However, to his greatest surprise, Luna weirdly shook her head gently as a result, her beautiful silk smooth hair waving from side to side as a result behind her slim back.

"Believe me, if you do that you would be making the biggest mistake in your entire life which very likely you would regret to your very last day."

"How so?" Raven raised a brow, but a second later as he moved his brain a little he seemed to find the answer alone too, thus allowing a soft gasp to escape his mouth.

"From the look on your face, it seems you have figured it out, right?" Luna showed a knowing smile as she asked.

"Yeah, I did." Raven nodded and as he shifted his gaze at the items in his grasp he said, "And it seems I was thinking pretty foolishly just now."

Just who cared about money after everything that happened? Yeah, money was an important factor if one wanted to live peacefully and in luxury, but after all the things that occurred and will occur in the unknown future, wealth no longer will be the deciding factor whether one could stay alive or not.

With the appearances of Etia and Avatar Traits and Artifacts, people gained abilities that in the past could have been only achievable in video games or fantasy novels!

Of course, while it was true that at this moment humans could wield supernatural powers in these so-called Realm Games, who promised him or anyone that in the future the same thing won\'t be achievable in the real world?

After all, look at Old Dan! Although he couldn\'t use his Artifact just like everyone else, his whole appearance still changed and according to him he even became stronger than in the past!

This alone proved changes to one\'s body were possible and perhaps in the future the Artifacts and items one possessed could be also wielded in real life!

And for this reason alone why Raven realized selling the items he got just to gain some money was a foolish mistake. After all, he has to be alive to use and spend all that money, right?

"Then I will just use them," Raven mumbled and without hesitation opened the bottle\'s lids and poured the contents within them into his mouth.

Gulp!... Gulp!... Gulp!

The moment Raven drank the very last drop from the bottle he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief that Luna gave him and felt as if something within his body changed before everything turned to normal.

However, a few moments after the strange feeling vanished from within Raven\'s body, two small magic panels appeared in front of his very face.

[Congratulations! You have increased one of your Avatar Traits beyond 10 points!]
