"Raven... Can you please explain to us what happened exactly here?" after seeing how his daughter took a step backward, allowing his son to breathe Old Dan frowned while watching how the white door behind Raven started to disperse into white particles.
Watching as everyone was looking at him with questioning eyes, Raven sighed softly before he began to narrate everything, starting with how the white door appeared out of nowhere.
"What? You have already reached Rank 1? Since when?" Old Dan was surprised after Raven finished talking, but he didn't need three seconds to realize the answer.
"This... Being. He said others that did not reach the top 101 will get the chance to enter his shop in the near future, correct?" Darwin asked, his face rather serious at the moment.
"Yes. Though he has yet to mention the exact when." Raven replied with a nod.
"And these Astral Cores... Can you show us what they look like?" Lucas asked next.
However, this time Raven fell into deep silence as he didn't know how to summon Astral Cores into his hands despite knowing he still had 28 left!
'Perhaps wishing for one to appear in my hand is possible?' Raven wondered and just as he used to summon his Avatar Status or his Artifact into his hand he did the same this time too. free(w)ebnovel.com
And to his pleasant surprise, it worked! With a gentle breeze, a small, bean-sized orb appeared in his hold out of thin air, one that had numerous colors swirling within!
"Is that an Astral Core?" everyone took a step forward to take a closer look, Darwin was especially eager to get a clear look as he wished to know everything as much as he could!
"Interesting." Old Dan mumbled as he straightened his back before pointing at Raven's neck, which previously than an hour ago now held a necklace, "Then I assume you have bought that from that Realm Shop too."
"Yeah, I did." Raven nodded as he subconsciously touched the pedant which reached down almost to his chest.
"Can we get a look at it?" Lucas asked with curiosity.
"Umm... I don't think that would be a wise thing to do." Raven laughed awkwardly before explaining the same thing Dinas told him and also what the necklace was capable of doing.
"Huh? Then why did you... Oh." Old Dan almost asked why did Raven choose such a harmful item when he remembered what the necklace was capable of doing to those that always were unlucky.
Lucas and Darwin, knowing Raven also seemed to be in awe, even a little bit curious to see if Raven now will finally experience luck or not.
"Anyways, this is for you." Raven ignored Old Dan's gaze and handed the ring he bought to Luna.
"Huh?" Luna's eyes widened when she saw the ring, which had a smooth surface with a beautiful silver color, and looked at Raven, "Is this... for me?"
"Yeah, so take it." Raven smiled which made Luna blush slightly when seeing it and with a shy nod took the ring away.
"What about me? Won't you give your sweet father something too?" Old Dan asked with bashful eyes, blinking with puppy eyes toward Raven that looked rather cringed and awkward considering his current look.
"You get nothing. You are strong enough to protect your own ass, but not her." Raven said indifferently to which Old Dan quickly clicked his tongue in irritation.
Raven just shook his helplessly before he became serious and said, "However, father, I think we should go back to your mansion and check out that Realm Domain."
Old Dan quickly regained his seriousness hearing Raven's words and began to badass his sharp chin, "You are right. If what that... Being said was true and things are different within these Realm Domains where one could collect different unique things, including these Astral Cores, it would be better if we see it with our very own eyes."
"But before that!" suddenly Old Dan raised his voice, and looking at Raven formed a wide smile before saying, "I have great news to announce!"
Raven and Luna, from which the latter already put the former's gift onto her right ring finger, looked at each other, wonder lingering within their eyes as to what Dan wished to announce with such enthusiasm.

Taking a step out of the luxurious black car before a large and majestic mansion, Old Dan led the way forward with four individuals following behind him.
These individuals were Raven, Luna, Thomas, and Darwin with Lucas not being around as he had other matters to attend to and couldn't come back to Old Dan's mansion.
"Will we go and enter the Realm Domain right away?" Luna asked her father when she saw how they went around the mansion to get to the forest.
"Of course, we will." Old Dan nodded before asking, "Or why? Should we go inside and drink a cup of warm tea first?"
"That's..." Luna opened her beautiful cherry lips before closing them again, remaining silent as she realized how foolish her question was.
The group quickly walked around the mansion and its garden, which ironically was several hundreds of meters long and wide, and soon enough arrived at the perimeter of the forest where the slightly vibrating dome around it could be seen if one took a careful look.
"So? Who will be the brave one to enter first?" Old Dan asked shamelessly, looking at the four behind him.
No one talked nor moved, which from one point of view was understandable. After all, what they were trying to do now was not only dangerous but risky too!
According to their manual, within Realm Domains, death was permanent hence if they now crossed the barrier before them and die it will be game over for them.
Luna looked at everyone's faces with a scarcely twitching mouth and asked, "Really? No one? How can you even call yourself men? You know what, I wi-"
"I will do it." Raven quickly took a step forward, just in time to stop Luna from walking through the barrier.
"Then I will come too." Luna's eyes turned reluctant while directing a sharp gaze toward Old Dan's direction for obvious reasons who as a result started to sweat and shift his head toward the opposite direction.
"No, you will stay here." Raven just shook his head and quickly added, "In fact, I will just step inside and if I sense danger will immediately dash out. I will just check what will happen if we cross this barrier."
Luna, however, was still firm in her decision and took a place beside Raven, even grabbing his hand tightly.
"We are going in together."
"You..." Raven felt a headache assault his head, but even before he had the chance to say anything, he watched as Luna took a step forward, pulling him forward together with her.
And just like that, the moment their bodies crossed the barrier before them, under the stupefied gazes of Old Dan, Thomas, and Darwin both Luna's and Raven's vanished from sight almost as if they had not even been there, to begin with!
