Chapter 44 Preliminary Realm Core (3-Last)

How fast was an average person in terms of speed?

Well, according to studies, a human who didn't move regularly could run around 10 km/h to 13 km/h which is between 6 to 8 mph roughly.

And what about those who moved on a regular basis, went to the gym at least four days a week, and did sports like football or athletics in a professional way? Surprisingly, they were able to easily reach 24 km/h which was equivalent to 15 mph!

But, shockingly enough, after the sudden appearance of the mysterious Realm Games, magical Artifacts, and Avatar Traits that granted one inhuman and fantasy-like powers, all of that changed drastically.

In the past, Raven could easily remember how he couldn't even run a single mile without getting exhausted. Hell, he even struggled for his life with his already increased Speed and Constitution after running for less than 30 minutes during his first Realm Game! He even almost collapsed from fatigue, just how pathetic was that?

However, just in a little over a week, that changed completely.

Now with his Avatar Traits all above 10 points, Raven was like a living machine, a beast from a fantasy novel disguised as a human.

He became faster to the point where he could easily reach 70 km/h if he wished to, which naturally reacquire massive amounts of stamina in exchange. His Strenght increased so much that while he couldn't fight properly, after all, he had yet to learn any martial skills or battle techniques, he could easily crack or even shatter a boulder depending on its size!

He also noticed how his senses sharpened and how everything around him felt slower and also clearer when he either ran or moved a little bit faster than he would normally; this seemingly was because of his Dexterity Trait.

Thus, because of all this, Raven was not surprised at all when he watched how he literally flashed before the hotel's entrance, traveling more than 500 meters in just a few seconds.

'Though, although I can move fast, my stamina gets depleted just as fast if not faster. I should watch out for this.' Raven thought to himself as grabbed the handle of the door and once he opened it walked inside.

The interior looked the same as previously with the only difference being the size, which compared to the previous time, was around twice as large! The reception desk became double its size, the paintings on the walls now were as big as a regular human, and the floating shards now had the size of a newborn baby.

Raven scanned his surroundings for a few seconds with a serious expression and once he made sure he heard and saw no movement, he walked over to the closest floating shard and touched it.

Whoosh!

[Scroll: Wasp Arrow Crafting Blueprint]

? Rarity: Rare

? Level of Complexity: Easy

? Description: A simple but rather lethal item with toxic properties that with the appropriate materials can be easily crafted and produced in large numbers!

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

In Raven's hands, a black paper scroll about the size of 10 inches appeared in his hand. Around its middle, a thick white string was tied in a ribbon, allowing one to easily untie it if wished.

Looking at the description, Raven couldn't help but think about the Earth Javelin Blueprint he grabbed and read during his time back in the Realm Shop before a sudden realization hit him like a truck.

'I knew it! I knew that I will forget to bring that box!' Raven facepalmed himself, as at this moment he only had his coat's and jean's pockets to store his items.

'Wait, maybe this can work.' then, suddenly running back to the reception desk, Raven grabbed the large vase placed on its side and put the scroll inside.

'Although it has no massive space as inside the Storage Box, I can still use it to place the more important items inside.' Raven thought to himself as he carried the vase in his hand to the next shard, which after he touched turned into an Avatar Flask, one that increased his Dexterity by 3.

'Let's make that 8, shall we?' Raven showed a smile and using his Collector's Glove enhancing ability he quickly turned the number 3 into 8 on the Avatar Flask's description.

'Perfect!' Raven laughed in his head and without hesitation chugged the bottle with one single motion!

Then, once he emptied the bottle, he carefully place it on the ground and proceeded to walk to the next shard, which quickly turned into a pouch filled with numerous small and shiny azure ores, called Sky Mithril.

After placing that also into the vase, Raven proceeded to turn shards into items. If they were Avtar Flask, depending on the number of Traits they could increase he either duplicated them or enhanced their effects while if they were items with great usage he placed them into the vase.

As for the items that Raven had already seen and thought were useless or if he had already collected enough from the same kind, he just simply left them behind; after all, his vase had no infinite amount of storage space so he had no other choice but to do this.

Of course, once he leaves, he will notify Thomas to send recruits, ones that were strong, inside to collect them.

Raven kept walking around the place with his large vase in hand, but although he seemed to walk aimlessly, in truth, he had a target he wished to reach. And that was the center of this hotel.

As for the reason?

It was because the moment he acquired his Backroom Key, its description talked about a Realm Core. At that moment, Raven was puzzled as he didn't know what that was, but just when he was about to leave the backrooms he was told by Dinas that Realm Cores were unique treasures that could be found in the center of every Realm Domain.

And of course, he also mentioned that they can be sold for astronomical wealth.

'Last time when we explored this place we have found nothing. I wonder if this time I can.' Raven thought to himself and the closer he got to the central area the slower his steps became while he also decided to use his perfume and stop collecting shards.

Walking through numerous hallways with his Silent Hide Boots on, Raven was able to move as silently as a real assassin from movies and it took him less than 15 minutes to reach his target. Though, the sight that waited for him there was something he had not expected to see at all!
