Chapter 81 2 Months Later (1)

The unknown island was situated in the middle of the sea, with no other land visible in the surrounding area.

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

One day, a young man was spotted walking at a relaxed pace through the forest.

He appeared to be taking in the natural beauty of the island, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and soaking up the tranquility of this remote location.

Despite the isolation of the island, the young man seemed content in his surroundings, moving at a leisurely pace and taking in the sights and sounds around him.

It was 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.

His name is Rain.

Rain's countenance was one of absolute serenity as he made his way through the dense forest.

His confident strides suggested that he knew the terrain like the back of his hand, navigating the forest with ease and familiarity.

As Rain was walking through the forest, he suddenly found himself under attack by a tree that had seemingly come to life.

The tree had been dormant until that moment, but it now began to lash out at Rain with its branches, as if attempting to harm him.

Despite the sudden and unexpected nature of the attack, Rain remained calm and collected.

"Oh, tree monster?" Rain wondered. He curiously gazed at the tree, "Is this monster something called treant? Let me see."

Rain swiftly sidestepped the treant's lumbering attack, his well-honed reflexes allowing him to easily evade the creature's grasping branches.

With a swift movement, he used his shadow walk ability to move directly behind the treant, his sword at the ready.

"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 stored wooden box in the space ring.

This wooden box wasn't a ordinary box.

It was also a artifact.

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

After he got some money from his parents. He didn't feel much need to exchange good materials for system points. So he started storing them.

However soon he encountered a problem.

Whenever he tried to took out any material to use, he saw how jumbled to storage was in space ring. Some material even counterpart each other, because of that it led to side effects.

In the Rain bought these wooden boxs from the system store.

[Wooden Box - Rare high-tier

It is an artifact that serves as a storage container for various items. As its name suggests, it is made entirely of wood, which gives it a rustic, natural appearance that is both elegant and functional.

While it may seem like a simple object, this particular wooden box is a high-tier item that possesses unique properties.

One of the most significant benefits of the Wooden Box 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 is considered to be a stroke of good luck for anyone who happens to experience it.

It is believed that 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 put wooden box back into his space ring. After some hunting, he started walking towards his home.

Soon, he arrived at home.

"I'm home." Rain called out as he took off his shoes, but the only sound was the echo of his own voice.

No one was there to welcome him home. For over two and a half months, Rain had been living alone on this island, isolated from civilization and forced to rely on his own wits and abilities to survive.

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.

Luck : C

After training for two months, Rain was finally able to surpass the D rank and was promoted to a C-ranker.

At present, his rank is C.

During this time, he ventured into the wild and stumbled upon numerous monster nests. Following his success in clearing the ant's colony and insect nest, Rain discovered a small fish pond, teeming with fish monsters.

To take advantage of this opportunity, he swiftly purchased fishing skills from the system and caught a significant amount of fish.

However, Rain was aware that his actions could disrupt the environmental cycle. To offset this, he also took out nearby monsters.

On that day, he indulged in a scrumptious feast consisting of his handmade sushi, perfectly grilled fish, crispy tempura, and an array of other mouth-watering delicacies.

As he savored every bite, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to prepare such delectable dishes.

However, his adventures didn't end there. He ventured out into the wilderness, encountering some 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 all swiftly and efficiently.

As he explored further, he stumbled upon a dense forest inhabited by ancient treants, guardians of the woods.

Fascinated by these creatures, he became determined to learn more about them and their habitat by killing them.

As a result, he became lumberjack nowadays.

To aid him in his adventures, he turned to the system store, where he exchanged the items he collected for valuable points. Although most of the items he gave were of poor quality, he was still able to purchase potent elixirs and powerful artifacts that helped him increase his rank and become stronger.

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 with 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 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 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 verge of becoming 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 remains 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'

Few months ago, after tragedy named Arya happened. Rain felt how much he was influencing the plot.

He didn't think that it would to that much degree. Because of that, after his Programming skill became 'Advanced' he developed some programs and named them 'Monitoring Bots'. With help of them, he can see recent actions of the characters.

He also complied original plotline in that program. So whenever some character makes big move different from the original plotline. He would be notified.

"Let's see what our main characters are doing." Rain mumbled.

In these two months, many things happened in the academy too.

Seasons changed and the atmosphere of the academy also changed.
