Chapter 44: Beast core and truth.

"Definitely the type of ability I would need in this place," Marvin said before he walked up to the corpses of the beasts on the floor.

It was time to extract the beast's hearts and if lucky he might even get a crystal or two from their body but he have to hurry before the blood of the salamanders attracts some other powerful magical beast.

Using his sharp inquisitor dagger he tore open the chest section of the beasts, he searched around inside after plunging his hands inside their chests, ripping apart their heart and searching through the sea of organs to look for the beast core.

After searching around for a while, Marvin finally felt something solid and round in his hand, and he instantly pulled it out with a smile on his blood-covered face. It was a beast core around the same size as an adult's fist.

He was happy to obtain just this one core. Magical beast cores are the elemental magic power core of magical beasts. They only solidify in the bodies of some magical beasts. The higher the rank of the magic power core, the more valuable it is. This is because the energy in a beast's cores become more dense as its rank increases.

‹Item: Salamander core

Nature: Flame type

Effect: Beast core of a rank-4 magical beast. It is worth more than ten thousand federation dollars. Can be in-laid in a runic weapon to grant it the ability, Fire Ball›

This Flame type core can be in-laid in a runic weapons to grant it the ability Fire Ball. Moreover, a flame-type ability user will surely buy it for a huge price. After purifying the beast core, a flame type ability user can absorb it to increase his magic power.

He had obtained a single rank-4 Beast crystal from the dozens of magical beast sprawled on the ground, and he also had obtained more than a dozen flame type beast hearts.

He then opened up his inventory and now a semi-transparent screen opened up in front of him. One by one, Marvin stored all of his loot inside the inventory.

"Ehh, the inventory stacks the same item in a single box. The max limit is ten," He saw that the twelve hearts had only taken two blocks of his inventory. Whereas, the single beast core has only take a single spot. What a wonderful surprise. Marvin then started to smile, "Noah, why didn't you tell me about this earlier, I have been wondering about upgrading the inventory for quite a while but now it seems unnecessary,"

‹Noah thought that the Gamer already knows› It replied while internally laughing, If I told you about it then how would I witness your surprised face?

Fearing that he might be embroiled in another beast, Marvin then instantly left this blood scented area of the weird forest that gave him goosebumps. The trees felt almost lifeless and his surrounding was gloomy. Normally both will affect a person's mentality very badly, and the feeling of being lost in an unknown place will amplify it so much that a person might just break down and start crying for help.

Some might choose to commit suicide, thinking that there's no hope in a situation like this, and it's better to kill yourself than die under the jaws of a magical beast but Marvin was not affected one bit because of his Gamer abilities.

He was in a dangerous and unknown place and he either needed to find the human fortress to get back fast or get out of this Flame Hell wilderness.

"Noah, how did you determined and placed me within ten miles of the nearest escape area?" Marvin asked while sneakily wandering about the lifeless forest. He would hide behind trees and look about for any hint of danger. Only after confirming that it's safe, he will move extremely fastly and dash to the nearest spot he considered safe.

‹Noah has a function to sense Magic Power but I require energy every time I use it. By using this function I was able to sense the density of Magic Power in this faster, and placed the Gamer where the density of magic power is low›

Marvin knew that Magic Power is denser in the depth of the wilderness when compared to its perimeter. He understood what Noah has said but a question has popped up and the system might very well be the only being in the entire world that can provide him the answer.

"Say, you used XP to activate the function. So what kind of energy is experience points, and why do I gain XP from killing others, and why do high-rank beasts gives more XP than low-rank ones?" He asked curiously, a thoughtful expression on his face.

‹Seems like the Gamer already somewhat know the answer to his question. However, Noah will clarify. It's the essence of life. Every living being has the essence of life in them, some have a lot while others less. The essence of life is released from a being on their death. Noah has a spell matrix on its body which has the ability to absorb the essence of life. I use the essence of life to strengthen the Gamer body. The essence of life in high ranked beast is greater than low ranked beast so they give less XP›

"Then what about quests? How do they give me rewards and XP?" Marvin asked. Seems like his system is unlike others, and won't hide any secrets from him as long as he asks.

"It's Karma. In simpler words, the Gamer is inheriting the inheritance of different experts that have handed over their items, genes, skills, and power to a being called Night. However, they hoped that only someone worthy will receive it. To prove your worth, you have to pass some trials. The Gamer will receive a part of their inheritance after completing their trials which are called Quest› Noah clarified.

Hearing his words, Marvin concluded that the gentleman's sensational abilities he got after completing different quests must belong to one of the many experts that Noah talks about. Furthermore, he was further mystified by the being called Night. Who's that person and why did many experts handed over everything to him?

"So who is Night?" he asked.

For a while, no reply came.
