Chapter 11 First Meeting With Kaya

Rain saw the woman coming from the opposite side, and a name came into her mind - Kaya Holmes.

'Kaya' Rain muttered inwardly.

Kaya had an air of grace and elegance around her. Her tall and slender figure exuded confidence and poise, and her dark blue-colored hair was long enough to reach her waist. Her almond-shaped eyes were a bright shade of hazel and held a mischievous glint that hinted at a playful nature.

Despite her striking appearance, Kaya often kept to herself and came across as reserved and aloof. But those who knew her well understood that beneath her cool exterior lay a kind and compassionate heart.

She is the second heroine of the game, who is known for management and politics. She helped the protagonist quite a bit in the novel. She is very beautiful. Any man would be mesmerized after seeing her. However, Rain was different.

'The girl who is my sister and I cared for in my life, but she just deceived and backstabbed me.'

It was quite painful for Rain.

'She is one of my death flags. I should just stay away from her.' Rain decided it.

"Good morning, Rain." Kaya gently smiled and greeted Rain. However, he knew that behind this smile she hates him so much that he can't even think. This was just one of her facades. Rain knew the real nature of Kaya because he had already seen it in the game.

"Good morning, Sister." Rain also greeted her with a smile. But deep down it was quite painful. Rain also cared for Kaya as much as Emma. He just wanted to live peaceful and a happy life with them.

Still, they betrayed him. Even at the last breath, he thought they will have some regrets. However, they just made their love story with the Protagonist. Rain's mood was already getting worse just from thinking about this.

After that, Kaya said goodbye and left. It looked like she didn't want to talk with him much. Looking at her from behind, Rain pondered.

She didn't even apologize to him for yesterday's incident.

'Does she really have this much hate for me?' Rain didn't know what to do. At first, he wanted to avoid her but it appears that there was no return at this point. Rain felt slightly remorseful.

Rain had something he wanted to check.

'Kaya is dumbass, she is the greatest idiot.' After thinking this Rain turned his face to look at Kaya's face.

'Let's see her reaction. Looking at her expressionless and silent face. I can say she heard me or not.'

He saw that Kaya was just walking peacefully. Neither did her body language change nor there was any reaction on her face. From this, Rain concluded that she couldn't hear him.

In his previous life, as a game designer and programmer Rain had read quite an amount of novels. In some novels, there was a setting of eavesdropping. Like Heroines can hear Villain's inner voice.

When they will know about the plot, they will start sticking around the villain instead of the Protagonist. Rain didn't like this a single bit.

So he just wanted to check if there is also that type of setting here.

'I thought maybe some heroines might be able to hear my inner voice, and it will get troublesome.

But looks like it just happens in those ridiculous novels. There is no way these stupid women can hear it.' Rain muttered inwardly.

Rain wanted to avoid that setting. After all, it would be quite annoying if heroines can hear his voice and start pestering him. It would be truly troublesome.

Rain was now relieved that he can make his plan without any worry. After checking his doubts, he sighed in relief.

Rain started walking towards his room. He wanted to go there and start making his plan. Soon he arrived at his room. All this time, Mark was following him. After entering the room, he dismissed Mark.

As Rain decided he started to make some quick checks in his room. He wanted to reorganize his room and find some things that may be useful for him in his current situation.

After some time, Rain finished inspecting every nook and corner of the room.

After checking his room he got some artifacts, potions, skill books, manuals, gifts given by Emma & Kaya, and some personal belongings.

Rain gathered some useful things aside and started counting them.

From counting, he came to know that he was able to gather 4 advanced low-tier and 1 advanced mid-tier artifact. He also got around 500 gold and some manuals about Swordsmanship & Marksmanship.

These things were from Rain's past training. However, now his rank has dropped, it will be quite useful for him to restore his rank.

'About 500 gold, this is quite a money, huh.' Looking at the pouch of gold coins, Rain remembered something.

In the game, Rain was saving this money to give Emma an engagement ring. It may sound childish but he wanted to give her something with his own money.

These 500 gold coins were all Rain's earnings from hunting and other things.

'But now who cares about it? I am not going to give her a ring or something like that now.' Rain scoffed.

Rain felt it would be a waste of money to do something like that. He would rather buy some artifacts and skills with that money. Although Rain's mood become worse, he still tried to think positively.

While organizing things in his room, Rain remembered he can also ask for family support funds.

In the past, for his pride, he didn't ask for any money from his family. Every child from the family received quite an allowance as training funds. Rain had the urge to beat his past self.

Rain thought he had childish pride. Even in his previous life, I shouldered everything by himself. How great it would be if he had some friends and family.

He just chuckled remembering his past life.

Although Rain could get funds from the family, he never used those funds, because he thought It would be disadvantageous for Kaya.

However now it was different, Kaya can still become the family head. If he wants it or not. It's none of his business. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

He guessed that his accumulated funds might be more than thousands.

'I always wanted to do some pay-to-win. Looks like the plan is gonna be quite smooth.' There was a small smirk on his face.

_________________________________________

Apparently, in this world currency is in form of coins. Although it was the same as Rain's previous world. However, things changed after the change. The whole currency and financial system were destroyed. So when new races came to the earth people of the earth got a new opportunity to introduce currency.

As other races were familiar with the idea of currency in form of coins. The coins currency was implemented.

Like all cliché novels, it's

100 copper coins = 1 silver coin

100 silver coins = 1 gold coin

1000 gold coins = 1 platinum coin.

According to living standards, you can say an ordinary family can live their life with 10 gold per year comfortably.

Most of the daily necessities can be bought with copper and silver coins.

Because of the magic, production of crops and food increased, the living standard of people rose. You can hardly see any beggars or poor guys.
