Lord of the Karmic Fate

Avatar Flasks.

According to his current knowledge and the information he got to learn from his manual, Raven seemed to understand that the strange liquids within the bottles are able to increase one's Avatar Traits upon consumption.

However, so far he only had Avatar Flasks that could only increase 1 Avatar Trait and not many at the same time.

Moreover, the flasks he once held and consumed contained only a single colored liquid within, yet the one beside him had not one but three different types of liquid, weirdly none of them mixing together with the other one!

"Blue for Dexterity, brown for Constitution, and gold for Mystique." Dinas started to explain in a calm tone of voice, "Including these three, there are three more types of flasks such as the red flask that increases Vitality, a silver flask boosting one's Speed, and the black one that increases Strength!"

"Usually, Avatar Traits can only increase a single type of Trait, but there are those rare ones that can increase more than 1. Also, it is should be noted that each type of flask increases an Avatar's Trait randomly from 3 points to 9 points."

Upon hearing the last part of Dinas' explanation Raven was not even surprised to hear that his first two Avatar Flasks contained the worst amount of points one could get.

"I had been thinking about this quite a long time ago, but where can I get more Astral Cores?" Raven asked as he noticed that this Avatar FLask needed 75 Astral Cores to buy it.

Indeed, it was a great question as so far he had competed in two Realm Games already yet he had not happened to cross paths with this thing called Astral Core nor did he get any after completing them.

Hence, he was curious to hear where one could get these things called Astral Cores.

"You are curious, huh?" Dinas asked with a sound that felt like he was smiling, and quickly continued, "Well, it is not a huge mystery as sooner or later your kind will discover it, so I guess I should tell you."

Then, after taking a small breath he explained, "Once someone completes a Realm Game, the Realm Gate opens and transforms the area around it into a territory known as Realm D-"

"A Realm Domain," Raven mumbled quietly as he immediately knew what Dinas wished to say, and without the need to hear anything else he already had a rough guess of what the mysterious individual will or wished to say next.

"So you have already crossed paths with a Realm Domain, I see. Then there is no need for my explanation. The point is that you can collect Astral Cores within Realm Domains with a little bit of an effort."

Raven nodded and immediately thought about the Realm Domain that formed under his and Old Dan's nose when they completed the Realm Game within the forest.

"Anyways, if you have no more questions I hope you can now start looking around and buy something."

Raven's brow twitched scarcely upon hearing Dinas' words as he could clearly understand the hidden meaning behind his sentence. Though, in the end, he still did as he was told.

First, Raven checked the Avatar Flasks on his side, but it didn't even take him five seconds to realize that each flask that could only increase 1 Trait cost 25 Astral Cores while those that increased 2 or 3 cost 50 and 75 Astral Cores.

Unfortunately, there was no Avatar Flasks that could increase more than 3 of his Traits and Raven had a rough guess they were only present on other floors of this Realm Shop.

After checking the bottles Raven decided to check out the weapons and different pieces of armaments.

There were daggers, rusty swords, shields, hammers, and all kinds of weaponry together with chest plates, helmets, gauntlets, and boots of different styles, shapes, and colors.

However, while each looked pleasing to the eye and tempting to buy as each increased one or even two Traits by at least 3 points, they each cost 100 Astral Cores! This meant if he decided to buy them he would go bankrupt right away which he didn't want to.

After all, who knew what will happen in the future and he didn't happen to need a few pieces of Astral Cores outside this Realm Shop, right?

And exactly because of this, Raven could do nothing but watch with a bitter smile at all the amazing items in front of him and only hope he could buy them later in the future.

After checking out the weapons, Raven decided to examine the different books and scrolls and he was soon shocked to find out that they were more than simple books or scrolls.

"Earth Javelin Crafting... Blueprint?" Raven raised a brow and wished to open the book to read its content but found it with surprise he was unable to.

"Those books and scrolls contain formulas to create either different weapons, pills, potions, or other unique types of items which can boost your overall strength." Dinas explained before adding, "Though, for one to create them, one not only has to collect different items from Realm Domains but also has to gain experience in different fields."

"For instance, that book in your hand, that Earth Javalin needs not only several ingredients to create but also needs you to have at least a novice level of crafting experience! The same goes for the scroll beside you which allows you to create Speed boosting pills which can be only made if you have a basic level of knowledge in the field of alchemy!"

"This..." Raven was shocked and slowly put the book back into the place from where he grabbed it.

What joke was this? While he indeed had little experience in crafting smaller items such as various simple objects, smaller tools, or furniture, he had no experience at all crafting complex things not to mention entire weapons!

As for alchemy... Haha! He once tried it but almost ended up dying because the room where he was practicing exploded thanks to him!

"I see, thank you for explaining." Raven thanked Dinas before directing his attention to another area within the shop, now examining the smaller items such as bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces.

However, just as he began to start checking the description of each item, he spotted an item that immediately caught his attention and made his body freeze the very moment he read what it can do.
