Villain Is on Vacation

On the unknown island, situated in the middle of the sea, with no visible surrounding land.

It featured a range of mountains, a small river that flowed through them, and a lush green forest that covered much of the land.

As he walked at a leisurely pace through the forest, a young man took in the natural beauty of the island, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and soaking up the tranquility of this remote location.

He appeared content in the isolated surroundings, as though he had found a hidden paradise, a place where he could escape from the stresses of the modern world and connect with nature on a deeper level.

Of course, this weirdo was Rain. 

Rain walked through the forest, his senses alert to any sign of danger. 

Suddenly, a tree that had been dormant until that moment came to life and began to lash out at him with its branches.

Perplexed but collected, Rain dodged the tree\'s attacks with ease.

"Treant?" Rain wondered aloud, staring at the tree. "I didn\'t think they were real."

He swiftly sidestepped the treant\'s grasping branches and used his shadow walk ability to move behind the creature. Drawing his sword, he taunted the treant with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Now show me the quality of your wood." he taunted the creature, a hint of amusement in his voice.

The treant responded with a furious flurry of blows, but Rain moved with blinding speed, his sword whistling through the air as he deflected each strike.

Closing the distance between them once again, Rain delivered a powerful blow to the trunk of the treant with a resounding swoosh.

The tree-like creature shuddered and then split in two, its wooden body collapsing in a shower of splinters.

Rain inspected the fallen treant critically, noting the poor quality of its wood.

"Boring~. Hey, tree," he called out, addressing the defeated creature. "You know, your wood is not good quality. You should have absorbed some nutrients from the soil."

He reached into his space and retrieved a small wooden box, carefully storing a few choice pieces of the treant\'s wood inside. After that, he put the wooden box in his space ring.

This wooden box wasn\'t an ordinary box. It was also an artifact.

As Rain hunted more and more creatures and entered the Inner area of the island, he found some good materials to use for alchemy.

After he received some money from his parents, he didn\'t feel much need to exchange good materials for system points, so he started storing them.

However, he soon encountered a problem. Whenever he tried to take out any material to use, he saw how jumbled the storage was in his space ring.

Some materials even countered each other, leading to side effects.

To solve this problem, Rain bought some wooden boxes from the system store.

[Wooden Box - Rare high-tier

It is made entirely of wood, giving it a rustic and natural appearance that is both elegant and functional.

The box is relatively small, measuring approximately 10 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 8 inches deep.

The wood\'s texture is rough to the touch, with visible grains that add to its overall appearance.

While the Wooden Box may seem like a simple object, it possesses unique properties that make it a valuable item to have.

One of its most significant benefits is its ability to store perishable items safely.

The box\'s wooden construction helps to regulate the temperature inside, keeping the contents fresh and free from spoilage.

In addition to its storage capabilities, the Wooden Box has been known to enhance the effects of certain materials stored within it.

This is a rare occurrence, and anyone who experiences it is considered to be lucky.

The box\'s unique properties somehow amplify the inherent magical or beneficial qualities of the stored material, resulting in a more potent and effective item.]

Rain deftly slipped the wooden box into his space ring and continued his journey through the enchanted forest.

As he walked deeper into the woods, he felt the presence of monsters lurking in the shadows.

A pack of wolves appeared. 

"Ah, isn\'t these my old friends?" As Rain looked at the wolves. He remembered Wolf den, where he killed many Wolves and got Solan\'s necklace. 

It was pity that the necklace\'s effects weren\'t much use for him. 

In a few moments, Rain killed all of the wolves.

"Maybe I should get new artifacts." Rain pondered as he was returning to his home. 

The artificts he brought over when he came to the island were lagging behind to his progress. 

Soon, he arrived at home.

"I\'m home," Rain called out as he stepped inside his grand mansion, his voice echoing through the empty halls.

No one was there to respond his greeting. 

He removed his polished shoes and hung his clothes on a hook by the door, shivering from the chill in the air.

The sound of rain tapping against the stained-glass windows filled the silence, and he couldn\'t help but feel a pang of loneliness.

For over two and a half months, Rain had been living alone in this massive mansion, isolated from civilization and forced to rely on his own wits and abilities to survive.

As he walked to the center of the mansion, Rain glanced at the elaborate training area. 

The spacious room was adorned with expensive exercise equipment, intricate mirrors, and a polished wooden floor.

It had been about two months since Ken and Ben\'s duel, and in that time, Rain had undergone a significant transformation.

His isolation had given him ample time to focus on his training, and he had become stronger and more skilled than ever before. 

╠═⌠ Status ⌡═╣

►Health : C+ (D+ -> C)

►Stamina : C+ (D+ -> C)

►Mana : C- (D+ -> C-)

►Luck : C

After training tirelessly for two months, Rain finally achieved his goal of surpassing the D rank and being promoted to a C-ranker.

During his adventures in the wild, Rain encountered several monster nests.

He successfully cleared the ant colonies and insect nests and, while exploring further, discovered a small fish pond brimming with fish monsters.

Excited at the prospect of a bountiful catch, he quickly purchased fishing skills from the system and reeled in a significant amount of fish.

However, he was aware that his actions could disrupt the environmental cycle, so he also made sure to take out nearby monsters to balance the ecosystem.

That evening, Rain indulged in a scrumptious feast of his own making, savoring every bite of his handmade sushi, perfectly grilled fish, crispy tempura, and an array of other mouth-watering delicacies.

He couldn\'t help but feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to prepare such delectable dishes from the fruits of his labor.

As he continued his exploration, Rain encountered fierce creatures like giant honey bees, creepy insects, and venomous snakes.

Despite the danger, he didn\'t shy away from the challenge and dealt with them swiftly and efficiently.

Further along, he stumbled upon a dense forest inhabited by ancient treants, guardians of the woods.

Fascinated by these creatures, Rain became determined to learn more about them and their habitat. That\'s why he started killing those monsters. 

To aid him in his adventures, he turned to the system store and exchanged the items he collected for valuable points.

Although most of the items he offered were of poor quality, he was still able to purchase potent elixirs or powerful artifacts that helped him increase his rank and strength.

His strength was now C. While his stamina and health were C+.

Finally, his intelligence also rose. It\'s because he has completed watching all of the lectures of the Academy\'s first year in these 2 months. He also read some books in his free time.

His mana was also now C-. As he didn\'t have much guidance about it and he also slacked in that area, It was lacking compared to other states. However, he was trying to find a suitable mana breathing technique from the system. 

His skills also rose in this span of time.

Rain devoted himself to the practice of swordsmanship after learning the art, spending countless hours honing his techniques every day.

He put his skills to the test by engaging in battles against C-class monsters, and as a result, his swordsmanship grew increasingly smoother with each passing day.

As he continued to train, he realized that he was steadily progressing towards becoming an advanced swordsman.

On the other hand, his marksmanship skills did not improve much despite his efforts to find a suitable art to enhance it.

He scoured government databases, but most of the techniques he found were of low quality and ineffective.

Disappointed with his search, Rain decided to wait until he could acquire a better marksmanship skill set.

As he traversed through the treacherous wilderness and dealt with various monsters, Rain\'s Hawkeye and Shadow walk skills improved to the point where they became intermediate.

Shadow walk was even on the verge of becoming an advanced skill.

These skills enabled him to move around undetected and gain a tactical advantage in combat.

Additionally, Rain found himself scaling mountains to destroy giant honey bee nests, which led to a marked improvement in his climbing skills.

With each successful climb, he became more confident in his ability to navigate challenging terrain, further enhancing his survival skills in the wilderness.

After facing numerous setbacks and doing explosions, Rain has progressed to become an intermediate alchemist and has started practicing creating elixirs.

Although his previous attempts resulted in some negative side effects, he remained determined to perfect his craft and create high-quality elixirs.

Additionally, Rain has been focusing on improving his mana control skills while learning alchemy, occasionally employing the contraction skill. Through this process, he has even gained a new passive skill.

[Parallel Thinking - Passive Skill

This skill allows the host to perform two tasks simultaneously, while also improving their thinking process.

When using this skill, the character\'s multitasking ability is enhanced, allowing them to perform two tasks at once with greater efficiency.

Furthermore, the skill also enhances the character\'s cognitive function, allowing them to think faster and more effectively.

While this skill is passive, it requires training and practice to fully master.

This skill is upgradable. ]

With this, he can do two things at the same time easily. You can say it\'s a skill for two-timers.

After defeating various monsters and using their meat to prepare dishes, Rain became an advanced chef, which was an unexpected gain.

His cooking skills had improved so much that now he was able to create dishes that not only satisfied his hunger but also gave him a temporary buff.

Besides, while exploring the island, he had also collected numerous herbs and materials, which significantly increased his proficiency in the Gathering and Appraisal skill.

As part of his live streams, Rain began engaging in other activities such as gaming, singing, and writing.

His Writing skill had improved to the point where he was able to craft excellent songs and even compose some impressive pick-up lines.

Furthermore, Rain had launched his own merchandise line, which was a significant source of income for him. You can say that Lily worked hard for it.

During his exploration of the island, Rain had already covered more than half of it. However, he had recently begun venturing into the middle region of the island, where he had encountered high-class monsters and nests.

As a result, he had to be cautious while exploring, which had somewhat slowed down his pace.

All-rounder Camera helped him very much in this time. With that, he made some basic map of almost 75% of the island. 

He also installed metal sensor in that camera with high-vision. 

He was able to collect many good ores with that.

Soon, Rain made his way to his desk and took a comfortable seat on the chair.

He turned on his computer, waited for it to boot up, and then placed his fingers on the keyboard.

With a deep breath, he began to operate the machine, navigating through various applications and programs with ease. The soft clicking of the keys echoed through the quiet room as Rain worked diligently, fully focused on the task at hand. 

While working he drank hot herbal tea made from dragon leaf. Dragon leaf is a very rare plant. Rain found it while climbing a mountain accidently. 

As Rain liked tea made from it, he took every plant from there. 

The tea had very good effect of calming mind and removing fatigue. Rain also planted some of plants for dragon leaf near his house. However, he needed to buy \'Herbiology\' skill as he didn\'t know anything about growing plants. 

In a few moments, Rain opened a folder. There was bunch of characters\' name written there. The name of folder was \'Monitoring Bots\'

After the tragedy involving Arya, Rain realized how much he was influencing the plot.

He had not anticipated this degree of influence. 

Therefore, after his Programming skill became \'Advanced,\' he created \'Monitoring Bots\' to track the recent actions of the characters.

It varies from the character to character how much bots were monitoring them. After all, some characters were too sensitive to it. 

He also compiled the original plotline into the program, so whenever a character made a significant move that differed from the original plotline, he would receive a notification.

"Let\'s see what our main characters are doing," Rain mumbled as he checked the Monitoring Bots.

In the two months, many things had also happened at the academy.

The seasons had changed, and the atmosphere of the academy had shifted as well.
