Chapter 22 - 22: Increase!
After they were done defeating the beasts and extracting their crystal cores, Randin led Grey to a cave where he lived all alone and decided to question and also answer Grey's questions.
After Grey answered his question, he decided to answer Grey's questions also.
"I'm Randin and no, we aren't humans. We are our own species or race whatever you call it. This planet is called Bronze land. And we are a race known as Dwarves."
"Dwarves!?!!?" Grey asked surprised.
The reason for his surprise was that he had read about dwarves and he thought it was just a myth or they were extinct. That was why when he saw Randin, he was sure he had seen him from somewhere but he couldn't wrap his head around where he has seen him from.
"Yes dwarves. And before you ask where the rest of us are, like I said earlier, we were almost wiped out hence we have being scattered all around the bronze continent with only me occupying here." Randin said.
"Why haven't you tried to reconnect with your kind?" Grey asked.

And finally, the light was dimmed totally and Grey just tossed the crystal away causing it to fall out of the cave.
"Time to check how many points I got." He said as he used the appraisal skill on himself to check his affinities.

Seeing his affinities, his eyes gleamed brightly.
"The core gave me twenty points?! It has even surpassed my wind attribute and I'm not limited to the Earth in my hand. I can control the Earth around me." Grey smiled excitedly.
"How do I test this new theory out now?" Grey mumbled as he looked around when his eyes landed on the wall of the cave.
"Time to get to work." He smiled.
