As he used Appraisal in the items, Frank discovered that they were not conventional because they were, in fact, "Divine Materials".

​​

But what were Divine Materials?"

Divine Materials were powerful items that grew within areas where Divine Energy flow freely, such places often grew powerful items that had greater resiliency than normal magical materials, which beings of higher existence levels used to craft powerful artifacts.

In fact, any item above B-Rank that appeared within these loot boxes was made of divine materials!

Through his Creation Skill, Frank was not even capable of replicating the amazing power of such materials… he felt like a 3-year-old trying to build a computer from zero.

However, what could Frank use them for?

After having used the Soul Weapon Creation Manual, Frank was enlightened with many ways of creating Soul Weapons, however, he needed powerful materials to make them.

Materials that could not be so easily found, and such materials were Divine Materials.

Perhaps the Artifacts he was seeking were also made through them, and this is why they were so immensely powerful.

These Divine Materials, however, had something amazing on them.

Like the seeds of a tree, if he planted them inside of his Divine Realm, these materials would feed on his Divine Energy and Mana, and slowly grow and multiply!

He could leave the jewels inside a cave and it would slowly begin to cover the walls and ceilings with it, or he could leave the grass on a large field where it could receive the light of the stars and would slowly begin to multiply!

If Frank could let these items multiply a few more times, he could begin to craft some basic Soul Weapons/Artifacts.

Without doubting a second more, he quickly put the jewel and the grass inside of his Divine Realm.

The grass was set over a large and empty field, whenever night came, it would be bathed in the light of the artificial stars and the moon, slowly growing bigger over time.

Meanwhile, the red jewel of soul flames was left inside a large cave within a volcano, which existed at the corner of the continent floating over the sea of his Divine Realm, where it would be nourished by the strong fire attribute mana flowing there, alongside his divine energy.

Alongside this, Frank discovered that the greater the quality of Divine Materials that he set inside his Divine Realm, the faster he would grow stronger.

The progress of his strength and existence rank was closely related to the quality of products growing inside his Divine Realm!

He needed to pick and find more Divine Materials to "plant" inside of his Divine Realm, making them multiply so he could grow the quality of his Divine Realm and become stronger as a result of it!

As Frank left the [Red Jewel of Soul Flames (B)] and the [Starlight Grass of Cosmic Brightness (B)] Divine Materials growing inside of his Divine Realm, he decided to assess the new set of equipment he got.

Deciding to leave certain weapons for his family, Frank glanced at the stats of the equipment he was going to keep, which he planned to equip right away to replace the old one he had.

The items that Frank organized over the floor were the [Emerald Ring of the Windstorm Dragon (Accessory) (B)], [Mana-Conducting Synergist Gloves (Hands) (B)], [Blazing Hell Demon Chest Armor (Torso Armor) (B)], [Great Shadow Lynx Emperor's Leather Pants (Leg Armor) (B)], [Helmet of the Flame Emperor (Head Equipment) (B)], and the [Zeus Thunderous Pendant (Accessory) (A)].

All of the items looked beautiful and shined brightly, having a special type of glow that Frank recalled from the MMORPG games dropped equipment he remembered, it was literally the same, albeit these items were not dropped by monsters but acquired through these game-like loot boxes.

[Emerald Ring of the Windstorm Dragon (Accessory) (B)]

Stat Bonuses: [+400 Mana], [+400 Magic], [+300 Speed]

Skill Bonuses: [Windstorm Dragon Soul Armor: Level 1]

Special Effects: Enhanced Elemental Resistance, Enhanced Magic Damage Resistance, Enhanced Speed.

Rune Orifices: [1: Empty], [2: Empty], [3: Empty]

…

The Emerald Ring of the Windstorm Dragon was a beautiful emerald-colored ring made of a metal of this same color, it also had a green jewel that seemed to not be an actual emerald, but a Mana Core from a Windstorm Dragon of sorts. Frank did not know from where this ring could have originated, but he hoped that it was not from Terra…

He would not want Aaronarra to see him wearing equipment made from his fallen kin. Although this item was made by the System, so it was probably okay, and no dragons were harmed in the creation of this product.

When he equipped the ring, he quickly felt the enhancement on his Mana, Magic, and Speed, feeling even nimbler, as if there was a faint emerald wind flowing around his body, making him feel lighter.

Alongside this effect, the ring gave him the ability to summon a Soul Armor of the Windstorm Dragon within the ring, which emerged around his body like a beautiful ethereal emerald-colored armor covered in scales, he could equip it over all the other armor because it was a Skill, he was also able to learn the Skill for himself after using it for a while, even when he eventually replaced this item.

When he equipped this armor, he discovered that the power of his Storm Skill was enhanced, and he could unleash even stronger waves of winds and thunder, he could even summon spears of wind and lightning too, although their power was not as much, it was a good plus.

Frank had decided to equip it with the vast pile of Runes he had accumulated from the monster Drops of the Hunting Domain set on Abraddon's Divine Realm and also from the occasional drops inside Orb's Dungeon.

He had separated the best Runes possible, which went as high as B-Rank, but they were only three.

Frank had slots for five accessories of any kind, head equipment, torso equipment, leg equipment, and feet equipment. There was no slot for "arm" equipment other than the weapons themselves, but maybe if he could one day get a bionic arm…

In the end, Frank decided to stick the three Runds quickly, putting a B-Rank Strength Rune that gave +500 Strength, a C-Rank Defense Rune that gave +200 Defense, and a C-Rank Speed Rune that gave +200 Speed, enhancing his stats even more than before by simply wearing this ring.

The best thing is that whenever he equipped items, they could be made invisible and even transparent, simply becoming stat buffs for him at this point. Although he did not know what could happen if he were to have his arm chopped off…

But because these items were somehow part of his System, which was his Trait, perhaps they would still be equipped in the system or even more, through his soul.

However, Frank was not willing to cut his arm off to test such a crazy theory, so he glanced at the next item.

…
