Chapter 42: PLOT Starts

Rain had been living a peaceful and fulfilling life on the island for quite some time now.

His disciplined routine kept his body and mind in top shape.

Every morning, Rain wakes up early, energized and ready to start his day.

He begins with light exercises to warm up his muscles, feeling the burn as he moves.

Then, he takes a refreshing shower and prepares himself a healthy breakfast, savoring the taste of fresh fruits and whole grains.

After eating his breakfast, Rain sets out to explore the island.

He straps on heavy weights, feeling the added challenge in his muscles, and sets off on his journey.

As he wanders around the island, he hums a tune to himself, taking in the beauty of his surroundings.

The lush greenery, crystal clear waters, and colorful wildlife all inspire him.

Rain has also noticed that his height had increased, now standing at around 185 cm.

"Looks like the elixirs I drank have been fully absorbed." Rain assumed.

As he explored the island, Rain often encountered monsters.

At first, they were a challenge, but with time, he's honed his skills and now takes them down with ease.

He knew that each battle, his proficiency and stats were increasing, making him stronger and more capable.

Rain has been working hard and had recently achieved the E+ rank, which brought him one step closer to restoring his former rank.

He was proud of his achievements and was determined to keep working hard to reach his goals.

During his exploration, Rain gathers some herbs and makes a map of the island.

He took great care in noting down all the details he observes and marking the areas he has already explored.

He was slowly exploring the forest area in East side.

In just three days, he had covered around 5% of the island, but he knew it would take several more months to explore the entire island and complete the map.

In the evening, after returning to his house situated in a quiet corner of the island, Rain kicks off his shoes and heads straight to the kitchen to prepare his dinner.

He always tries to make new dishes every day, scrolling through recipes on his phone and experimenting with different ingredients.

Despite the challenges of living alone on the island, Rain enjoys cooking and takes pride in his culinary skills.

However, some people may doubt that Rain will lag behind the academy students and even Extras will be more powerful and knowledgeable than him in the future.

But it wasn't worth to be worried about.

In fact, he has a secret weapon that many are unaware of.

Rain has managed to acquire recordings of all the academy's lectures, covering every major and topic that the students study during their time there.

In the academy, it is common practice for students to purchase recordings of lectures they have missed due to absence or other reasons.

Despite never having stepped foot inside the academy, Rain managed to get access to these recordings through his friend Mark.

Although it's technically illegal to own these recordings without attending the academy, with the help of the Holmes family's power and some extra money, Rain was able to obtain them with ease.

Rain was not concerned about money as he has found ways to sustain himself on the island.

He still has extra money after spending on many things.

It's because he received money from many sources like he had sold the gifts he received in his childhood from Kaya and Emma, the loot obtained from killing bandits, corpse loot from Blood Mountain, and monster remains from his hunting expeditions.

He has also saved his allowance and cleaned out his bank account where his parents had stored money for his future self.

He got around 3000 Gold coins from selling gifts from Kaya and Emma,

2000 Gold coins from selling loot obtained from bandits' hideout,

800 Gold coins from selling corpse loot of Blood mountain,

and lastly 500 Gold coins from selling monster remains.

As he had saved 500 Gold coins from the past training which he got after checking his room,

3000 Gold Coins that he got from his accumulated family funds (50 x 12 x 5 = 3000).

He also sold the artifacts he used in past as they were useless to him now. He got 500 Gold coins from them.

The main thing was that there were whopping 10,000 Gold coins in his bank account which his parents saved for him However Rain took all of it. He didn't even leave a single penny!!

Although Rain was earning many coins. He also spent money like some prodigal prince.

He utilized a total of 2000 Gold Coins to purchase a diverse range of home appliances and new Space Sprinter.

It was in case to run away from the island.

Among the appliances that he bought were a high-definition television for entertainment purposes, a refrigerator to store perishable items, a variety of kitchen appliances to make cooking easier and more efficient, a personal computer to perform work-related tasks, and a sound barrier to enhance the audio quality of his music and movie experience.

With these appliances, he can enjoy a comfortable and modern lifestyle while fulfilling his everyday needs.

He also bought Virtual Combat Stimulation for future purposes. It costed him 2500 Gold Coins, He bought a Comfy bed and a Portable House in a discount deal so it only costed him 4500 Gold coins.

He used around 1500 Gold coins to buy elixirs and potions for training, and also stockpiled food, enough to run for several months.

Even after spending this much money, Rain still has more than 10000 gold coins.

Although Rain collected some hidden pieces from nearby places.

But as his time was tight and his strength was also weak, he didn't collect all of them and only some good ones that were suitable for him.

There are also some hidden pieces in the academy, but they have their owner.

"I didn't get a single damn thing from the academy in the story." Rain grumbled as he remembered the storyline.

He just got some scraps and useless things from the academy.

Furthermore, He died during the summer vacation of his second year at the Academy.

This was also one of the reasons that Rain didn't want to go there.

"Even though I want to take steal some more hidden pieces, but I can't do that now." Rain grumbled.

"It's because the location where those peices are slightly dangerous for current me."

He had to become at least C rank for doing that and this island might have many good things that he might be not aware of.

The author of the novel never mentioned anything about this island in the novel.

So discovering new things will be quite thrilling for Rain.

After eating dinner, Rain watches Academy's lectures and does mana control training.

After some hours, he gets tired and then he sleeps.

That's how he was doing on the island.

Just like that, five days passed.

'From tomorrow plot will start. I don't know what surprises will be there for me. It will be interesting.' Rain was quite excited about the start of the plot.

***

At the next morning, the world outside was still shrouded in a grey mist, and Rain lay soundly asleep in his comfortable bed.

He was completely unaware of the approaching day, lost in his dreams of adventure and excitement.

But suddenly, a sharp voice pierced the peaceful silence of the morning, jolting Rain awake like an alarm.
