The knock was short and gentle, immediately attracting both Luna's and Raven's attention.

"Young Master, are you inside?" Thomas' voice resounded from outside, waiting for an answer.

Raven, seeing that Luna looked at him took a deep breath, and acting as calm as he could, he spoke, "Yes."

"Can I go inside?"

"I fear it is not the right time. My body still aches from the training and I am naked, taking care of myself at the moment."

Thomas seemed a little surprised as he talked with Kayn and he told him Raven was in perfect shape. Also, after the training, he also saw how Raven was fine after killing the two beasts, so it was a little confusing hearing him say he was hurt.

"Young Master, is everything okay? If there is anything I can help you with, I will not hesitate to take care of it." Thomas asked, his voice sounding a little worried.

Raven felt a little guilt, which was strange as he didn't feel anything like that when he killed that bulky guy with his flame.

'This is weird...' Raven thought inwardly, but when he saw how the door handle was pushed down and the door was ready to open he quickly spoke;

"I'm really fine! I just need a little rest, that is all."

The door stopped just as it was about to be pushed open, and Thomas let the door handle go.

"I see. But if there is anything I can help with, please tell me. After all, that is why I am here." Thomas said before adding, "Also, I just wished to inform you that Master Dan is on his way back, he will arrive in about 8 hours."

"Thank you for informing me, Thomas." Raven thanked and once he heard how Thomas' steps went further away from the door he let out a long sigh of relief.

"That was close," Luna said before showing a smile and adding, "And I think this is your first time lying to Thomas. Don't you feel guilty?"

"I would lie if I say I don't, but considering my current situation what should have I said?" Raven sighed helplessly which turned into a painful grimace.

Luna's smile quickly turned into a grave facade with anxiety flickering within her eyes.

"You are not looking good at all. That thing... whatever it was, almost killed you even though you were inside a Blue Realm Gate."

"Yeah..." Raven nodded and groaned, "It was a Blue Realm Gate until that statue didn't come alive and I was not informed about the rules being forcefully changed."

"The rules were forcefully changed? How?" Luna asked, disbelief felt in her voice despite showing indifference.

Raven just sighed and after pulling out his manual from his pocket he opened it on a specific page.

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

[Realm Game Information]

...

Real Death: In Red Realm Gates/ Domains and above it, once your Vitality reaches zero you will die for real.

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

"That is... a rather simple description," Luna mumbled and swallowed nervously.

Only just now did she realize that back inside that Realm Game Raven not only fought to gain the victory but also to remain alive!

Right then and there, he really was struggling to keep his life, and the injuries all over his body only talked for themselves!

Thinking about this and that Raven could have really died without her helping, Luna's delicate fingers clenched into firm fists, her nails digging into her soft skin from pure anger.

"Wait... Now that I think about it. I have rewards to claim!" suddenly, as if gaining strength from an unknown source, Raven's weak eyes lit up like stars, and swung his left hand downward.

[Do you wish to collect rewards?]

"Yes."

[Because of the large amounts of goods you have gained and also because you have lost consciousness just before you could have collected them, everything had been stored!]

[You can check and collect them freely!]

Whoosh!

"Holy f*ck!" both Raven and Luna cussed out loud the moment they saw the long list and they looked at each other with disbelief.

Right before them, right on the floating panel, there were 18 rows of texts which with Raven's Collector's Gloves nearly doubled!

They were fucking rich!

Wait? They?

Raven frowned and glanced at Luna beside him. Sure enough, he saw how she was staring at him, pleading and a small hint of greed in her beautiful eyes.

"You know I have worked for all this, right?" Raven asked with a serious face.

"You know I helped you, right?" Luna asked, pointing out how she helped Raven join the Special Event.

"Yeah, but we have already made a deal about that. 3 hours of massage and an Item from the Backrooms, that is what I have promised you." Raven said before he quickly added, "Which, with the now over 3,000 Astral Cores I have, I am sure will be pretty great."

Luna narrowed her eyes, but after a few seconds sighed and nodded, "You are right. You were the one earning all this not me. You deserve them."

Raven sighed with relief, almost thinking his little sister will force him to hand at least half of his rewards to her as compensation for the 100 million Novas.

'Though, I will still give her some, after all, as she said, if it were not for her help I wouldn't have been able to join the event and earn all this.' Raven thought inwardly, taking a mental note that he will give a few things to his little sister; as for which one, he had no idea.

'First of all, I should check this out.' Raven thought and his gaze fell on the last reward.

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

/Special Reward/

- High-Grade Healing Pill

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

Although Raven had not seen rewards such as a healing pill before, what its name indicated did, then he was more than eager to eat it.

"Collect Special Reward."

Whoosh!

In the very next second, under the watchful eyes of both youngsters, with a gentle breeze, a small red pill appeared on Raven's lap, immediately filling the room with a rather strong aroma.

"Just a single pill yet I feel like I had been thrown into the middle of a botanical garden all of a sudden." while showing a small frown because of the strong scent the pill was oozing, Raven picked up the pill and three it into his mouth.

At first, nothing seemed to happen and Raven even thought the pill did nothing, perhaps because he should have not eaten it, but after 1 full minute he finally felt some change within his body. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

In the beginning, it only felt as if someone tried to tickle him, making his body feel funny before that turned into a sensation of almost unbearable itching and piercing pain!

All of a sudden, he felt as if ants or smaller insects started to crawl right below his skin while thousands of hot needles pierced his flesh from time to time.

The pain was almost unbearable and nearly caused Raven to yell out, but luckily, he was still able to clench his teeth, and only with quiet groans bear with it.

As for Luna, although she looked worried and even wished to help, when she saw how the injuries and the bruises on Raven's body slowly got healed, vanishing from sight as if they had been not even there, she calmed down and remained silent.

Time passed by, and after 5 minutes of torture, which in truth felt like an hour or more, Raven felt joy as the pain finally began to subside, giving him the chance to breathe in a mouthful of fresh air.

"How are you feeling?" sitting beside Raven, Luna took out a handkerchief, and with gentle movements, she wiped the sweat away from his forehead.

Feeling the soft texture of the cloth on his skin, Raven let out a deep sigh and pushed himself up from the bed before a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"I have never felt better."

And to prove to his little sister that he was really fine, Raven jumped out of his bed and quickly started to stretch his limbs, almost as if he was ready to run a marathon.
