Chapter 72 Event Starts

After several days of adventure, Rain was finally taking a well-deserved break. As he lay on his bed, he couldn't help but reflect on the progress he had made since drinking the Growth Elixir a week ago.

He was excited to see the results of his training, eager to know if he had gained any new abilities or skills.

During his training, he had spent time exploring the island and hunting underwater for fish monsters, which helped him to hone his combat skills and expand his knowledge of the local fauna.

Despite his success, the insect-type monsters that had plagued him during his mining had left him feeling frustrated and annoyed.

In response, he decided to purchase insecticide bombs from the System Store, which proved to be an effective solution to his problem.

He headed to the insect monster's nest and threw the bombs continuously. As a result, most of the weaker monsters were killed on the spot, and the remaining ones were easily dispatched by Rain.

He felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as he took down the monsters that had caused him so much trouble.

Rain was pleased with the progress he had made, and he couldn't wait to see what other challenges lay ahead.

Rain was surprised as he gazed at his status window, which revealed some exciting news.

He couldn't believe that he had finally reached a rank that placed him among the main characters in the game.

He knew that Ken, one of the game's main characters, was around C-rank, but Rain believed that it would take him a considerable amount of time to bridge the gap between their rankings.

Despite this, Rain felt that he was making significant progress. He was pleased to discover that he could defeat most of the first-year heroines in the game, indicating that his abilities were improving.

He was confident that he could take on more formidable opponents, thanks to the growth he had experienced since drinking the elixir.

The elixir had boosted his strength, stamina, and health, which had helped him to clear one of the conditions necessary to reach C-rank.

Rain noticed that his charm had not increased, but he did not expect it to rise quickly. He believed that it would only happen when he could break the shackles of mortality.

Similarly, his intelligence did not increase, as it was not something he could develop quickly. He knew that merely watching Academy lectures wouldn't improve his intelligence level.

However, Rain was pleased with the progress he had made in terms of mana control practice, which helped to increase his mana.

As for his skills, he noted that his Swordsmanship and Marksmanship were still intermediate. He knew that it would be challenging to advance in these skills and that he would need to practice different styles continuously to improve.

He was willing to put in the effort and time required to reach the advanced level in these skills.

Rain's shadow walk had become intermediate after fighting many times, which made him faster than his previous self.

He believed that it would become even more potent after he reached an advanced level of proficiency.

In addition, Rain had improved his butchering and gathering skills while exploring the island, and they had now become intermediate.

He had to climb many times while wandering around the island, which helped to improve his climbing skills, while his Hawkeye skill had become elementary due to viewing long ranges

After much practice, Rain's proficiency in Alchemy finally became Elementary. Now he can make medium-quality potions and some easy to make elixirs.

Although Eva is Advanced Alchemist at now.

In the end of the game, she had became the Master alchemist. So you can say she might become it at this speed.

As she had been practicing alchemy for years, it's understandable that she has more proficiency than him.

'It would be great if I reach advanced proficiency soon. I will make those elixirs.'

Rain thought. He still had those elixir racipes and ingredients that he gathered through Mark.

After buying mining skill, whenever Rain found any ore vein. He starts mining, so his mining skill reached Elementary level.

'Do I have a talent for mining?' Rain wondered. He was also doubtful because of this.

somehow, after writing many trash songs, his writing skill reached Elementary skill.

As he hacked people's phones and system many times in past days. His Programming skill has Advanced proficiency now. He can even hack government systems with less security measures. It would be beneficial to him.

After analyzing his status window, Rain thought.

'Now I have reached D+ rank and I got many points now.'

Because of hunting, mining, streaming, and many activities. Rain stocked many system points. It was already more than 10,000.

'Although I want to buy some good things but let's save them for now. If any odd thing happened it might become a lifesaver at that time.' Rain thought.

'Around 20 days have passed since I came to this island, and I have explored more than 15% of the island.' Rain sighed.

While exploring Rain sometimes encountered B or C-Class monsters. So, his exploring speed decreased.

'Sigh, I have to be more cautious from now on. Maybe I will buy some stealth skills from the System Store. Perhaps I will become a full-time thief in the future. After all, I still have those lock-picking and pick-pocketing skills.'

Rain also regularly did his live streams. And just like always he did a bunch of things as per request. He also showed them his adventure videos.

As he felt video quality was lacking, he bought a good camera.

[All-rounder Camera- Advanced mid-tier

It offers a range of unique features for both photography and videography enthusiasts. Unlike traditional cameras, this device comes equipped with a telepathy function, allowing users to control it with their minds. This cutting-edge feature eliminates the need for users to hold the camera while shooting, making it a convenient option for extended photo and video shoots.

Moreover, the All-rounder Camera is also equipped with a drone-like capability, meaning it can fly and capture stunning aerial footage. It boasts high-quality video capabilities, capturing crisp and clear footage with a high megapixel count. The camera's advanced technology even allows users to capture the moon and other far-off objects with stunning clarity.

The All-rounder Camera is a versatile device that is also suitable for underwater photography, as it is waterproof. With this camera, users can capture stunning shots of marine life or explore underwater landscapes with ease.]

With this camera, Rain's island exploration also became somewhat easy. After fiddling Rain even found that camera had hidden function - stealth. It can hide from everyone.

During the whole week, Rain also did some other things.

It's not much, Rain visited the forum again.

For what?

To see some news.

Although not much, Rain still got some tiny bit of news. From that, Rain concluded things were calm at Academy.

He also saw his Fanclub, although he wanted to add the virus again there. However he couldn't. Because after his last outbreak Administrator added many firewalls and security measures.

He also read some other informations.

However Rain was still not satisfied with this.

So what did he do?

Simple. He just hacked into some people's phones.

And who were these people?

Ken and some other commoners.

Although he can also hack the phones of other characters like Heroines, there were some high security measures there. So for now he is unable to do it.

After reading messages from the phones, Rain got the gist of most of the things.

Like after physical training in class, Ken became close with Amy.

They got close enough to train together after lectures. Eva and James also accompanied them in the training.

According to the plot, in the future after doing some Adventures together, they will get closer or might be lovers.

Although there weren't many interactions between Ken and the other Heroines. like Lily, Emma, and Kaya.

'Maybe I changed some things.' Rain wondered.

However, he shrugged his shoulders.

"it's still okay. It's not like Ken will die as a virgin if get fewer Heroines." Ken had many heroines in the game. Losing one or two as love interest didn't change things much.

However Rain noticed that some things were going faster than original plotline. Like this bullying accident.

In the game, because of this accident, Ken and Arya also become closer.

Although because of Rain, Arya was not bullied to the extreme. But in the shadows, she was also one of the victims.

As a typical Protagonist, Ken saved her, and they become good friends. After some time, they even became lovers.

'I think Arya's love for me made her stronger. Although it's scary. But she might become good support in fighting when Academy will be under attack.' Rain thought positively.

Rain walked out onto his balcony and stood there, taking in his surroundings.

A gentle breeze brushed past him, carrying with it the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore in the distance.

The peaceful ambiance was only interrupted by the soft buzzing of night insects.

As Rain gazed upwards, he was struck by the beauty of the dark sky, which was dotted with a dazzling array of stars.

The night sky seemed to stretch out infinitely before him, creating a sense of awe and wonder.

However, despite the majesty of the stars and the sky, Rain couldn't help but notice the moon, which seemed to stand out from the rest of the heavenly bodies.

Like him, the moon appeared lonely, casting a solitary figure against the expanse of the sky

'Finally, from tomorrow new event will start.'

Yeah, tomorrow is the day of Ken and Ben's duel.
