Villain Is on Vacation



Rain saw the woman coming from the opposite side, and a name came into his 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 was the second heroine of the game, who was 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.

He didn't want to make any people suspicious by changing his attitude towards, so he maintained his previous attitude.

Although Rain wasn't a good actor, he managed to pretend before Kaya.

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. He felt slightly remorseful.

He 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.'

Rain watched Kaya walking, her steps slow and measured. He observed her closely, noting the lack of any change in her body language or expression. Her face was calm and serene, and there was no indication that she had heard him.

As he continued to watch, Rain concluded that Kaya was entirely unaware of his presence. He noted the way her gaze remained fixed ahead, not once flickering in his direction. It was as though he was invisible to her, a mere ghost in her world.

Satisfied with his assessment, Rain took a deep breath and stepped forward.

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 learn about the plot, they may start siding with the villain instead of the protagonist. 

Rain did not like this one bit. He just wanted to check if such a scenario existed here. 

'I thought if some heroines could hear my inner voice, it would become troublesome. But it seems like that only happens in those ridiculous novels. There's no way these foolish women can hear me,' Rain muttered to himself.

He 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.

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

Without wasting any more time on trivial matters, Rain strode purposefully towards his room.

He needed to start planning immediately. Mark followed behind him, but Rain dismissed him as soon as he entered the room.

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.

Upon checking his room - he got some artifacts, potions, skill books, manuals, gifts given by Emma & Kaya, and some 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 coins] 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 coins, this is quite a lot of 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, out of pride, he didn't ask for any money from his family.

Each child in the family received a monthly allowance of approximately 50 gold coins for training funds, but he didn't collect his funds for five years.

Rain felt the urge to beat his past self.

He realized that he had been too proud to ask for help, even in his previous life. How much easier it would have been if he had friends and family to rely on.

A soft chuckle escaped from his mouth as he remembered his past life.

Although Rain could have received funds from his family, he never used them because he thought it would be disadvantageous for Kaya.

However, things were different now. Kaya could still become the family head, whether he wanted to or not.

Rain shrugged his shoulders and sighed, realizing that it was none of his business.

He guessed he had accumulated more than a thousand gold coins.

"I always wanted to do some pay-to-win," Rain thought with a small smirk.

"Looks like the plan is going to be quite smooth." The thought of finally being able to achieve his goals was exhilarating.

_________________________________________

Apparently, in this world currency is in the 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 the 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 coins per year comfortably.

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

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