Raven stared at the knife before his feet in confusion and when he raised his head the only thing he saw was, once again, a fist flying at him at a rapid speed.

However, different from the previous times, the moment the fist came into his sight it looked... slow. It seemed his 25 points of Dexterity were showing their real worth right now!

\'Hmph! I want to see how you will beat me here!\' Raven sneered inwardly as he easily dodged Kayn\'s fist.

"I don\'t know why, but if you saw my Traits you should understand you have no chance of winning against me her-"

Suddenly, while tilting his body from side to side and avoiding Kayn\'s fists that flew at him like torrents, a leg appeared out of nowhere right beside his head which even with his 25 points of Dexterity looked fast!

"Wha-" Raven looked stupefied and raised both hands.

BAM!

A powerful force slammed into his hand and body the very next second, and while he only took a step back because of his higher Constitution and Strength, Raven felt how his hand turned numb!

\'This... How is he so strong?\' Raven was secretly shocked and was ready to keep fighting when suddenly noticed that for some weird reason Kayn was not moving.

"Umm... Hello? That was it? Just throwing out a few punches and a single kick and you have already given up already?"

Lowering his leg after the kick, Kayn ignored Raven\'s question completely and with an indifferent gaze he asked, "How much do you know about these Avatar Traits?"

"Huh?" Raven\'s brow shot up in confusion before he began to ponder and said, "What kind of a question is that? Everything is written down in the manual. Vitality is for one\'s health, Strength is-"

"I was not talking about that, kid." Kayn interrupted Raven, earning a deep frown from the black-haired young man right away.

"Then about what?" Raven asked with a hint of anger while curiosity also flashed in his eyes. After all, at the end of the day, he was still not a fool, so he understood that there was a reason behind Kayn\'s question.

"So you don\'t know it either, huh?" Kayn mumbled and pointed at a boulder beside Raven, "Try and punch that with all the strength you have."

"But-"

"Just do it." Kayn asserted loudly, leaving no room for any quarrel.

Raven narrowed his eyes and although scarcely unwilling he still walked before the boulder which was twice as tall and seven times wider as an adult human!

\'Well, I am also curious what 31 points of Strength can do, so...\' Raven thought inwardly, and ignoring the fact that his body was still tired he clenched his fist and once he was ready threw out a punch just in a way he had learned.

BAM!

A small explosion burst out the very next second, and under Raven\'s stupified stare the whole surface of the rock cracked as if it was an egg!

"This..." Raven mumbled with shock and glanced at his fist, which except for a small bruise on his knuckles was perfectly fine. Even the pain he felt was minimal despite him just cracking a whole boulder almost into chunks!

"So that is what Strength above 30 points can achieve?" Kayn mumbled, and while Raven shifted his mocking gaze at him he walked before a boulder that was around the same size as the one Raven had just punched.

Then, once in front of it, he clenched his fist, and in a more refined way than Raven just did he threw out a punch.

BOOOM!

With a burst akin to a stick of dynamite blasting the earth apart, the rock shattered into huge chunks that quickly flew in every direction, some almost even crashing into and through Raven if it were not for him dodging just in the last second!

"Hmm..." Kayn hummed quietly as he raised his fist and slowly glanced at Raven, "As you can see, even though you have more points in Strength than me, you are still weaker. The same goes for your Speed, Constitution, and Dexterity."

Then, to prove his point even further, the muscles on his legs suddenly bulged and in a flash he appeared in front of Raven, his right foot already hovering just an inch beside his head!

\'...

\'

With widened eyes and shrunk pupils, Raven felt utter disbelief as he tried to find answers to what he had just seen.

Like, the speed with which Kayn just moved was simply way too fast, fast to the point where his speed was equivalent to someone who had around 25 points of Speed and not to someone who had only 11!

His speed was also instantaneous, something that not even he could achieve at all!

This was simply...

"Impossible..." Raven mumbled as that was the only explanation he could come up with.

Kayn, however, just shook his head and while lowering his leg he said, "But it is not. I am the living example of that."

"But... How?"

"How?" Kayn laughed and with a smile, he replied, "The answer is really simple. I have worked out and surpassed my limits."

"Bullshit!" Raven didn\'t even hesitate to blurt out what he thought, and narrowed his eyes.

Worked out? Please... Go and try to give that crap to somebody else!

Now he was 100% sure that Kayn used either his Artifact which he cannot see or a Relic that secretly boosted his strength. Of course, there was the possibility of him possessing a special Rune Mark or an Avatar Title, who knows.

After all, just who would believe such a crappy lie? Like, he worked out a little, for 8 days no less and his Speed and Strength reached the same level as his despite their points of Traits differing hugely?

That was like telling someone to do squats for 8 days without stopping and they will be able to jump right on top of a skyscraper with one try!

That was just ridiculous!

As Raven thought about this his brows unconsciously lowered into an even deeper frown, the look of doubt on his face becoming even more visible.

Kayn, however, just showed a smile and crossed his arms before his chest, "You are free to speculate what you want, but that is the truth. If you would have been trapped with me inside the Death Domain I had been and saw what I had to do to survive, you would not doubt me at all."

"Death Domain?" Raven raised a brow but soon the manual in his pocket began to move a little so he went to grab it.

-----------------------

[Realm Game Informations]

...

• Death Domain: After challenging a Realm Gate and successfully completing it, when the Realm Domain was formed there is a 0.5% chance it will become a Death Domain!

^ Within Death Domains death is permanent without any rules!

^ Everyone who completed the Realm Game will be trapped inside the Death Domain until they either clear it or the Death Domain does not collapse, killing all life within!

^ Those who enter from the outside will be also trapped inside!

^ Within Realm Domains participants will be able to gain access to their Avatar Status!

-----------------------

"It is a long story so I will just explain it briefly. After I have completed a Realm Game I was not teleported outside the perimeters of the Realm Domain but stayed inside. I was trapped." Kayn explained as he gazed at the building in the distance.

Then, he pointed at the small book in Raven\'s hand and continued, "Just like how that manual describes it, I was unable to leave the Domain until I have not cleared it completely. Of course, I tried several attempts to escape, but the Domain\'s barrier was like a solid wall, I had no chance to escape at all."

Raven remained silent and after pondering silently for a few seconds he asked, "And what had you have to do to escape? I mean, you are here, still alive, so it means you have successfully cleared the Domain."

"I had to kill 50 creatures, each as large as lions but luckily as slow as turtles because of their huge shells covering their bodies."

"Then it must have been easy to kill them, right?" Raven asked to which Kayn laughed and shook his head.

​ "Not at all kid. Their shells were even harder than that boulder you have just punched. Also, let\'s not forget that at that time I only had just a little over 15 points of Strength. Let alone breaking their shells and killing them, with that much Strength I was unable to scratch or at the very least crack their shells even a tiny bit!"

"Just the sheer hopelessness I felt at that time when I saw how the Domain started to shrink, slowly destroying everything within makes me even at this very moment shudder a little," Kayn said with a small shiver seemingly running down his spine.

Then, however, he suddenly showed a proud smile and after even lifting his chin scarcely, he said, "Or at least that\'s how I felt until I didn\'t found out how the human body can become even stronger without Avatar Flasks, Rune Marks, Artifacts, or accessories!"
