To purchase the skills, Rain converted his gold coins into points using the system's exchange rate.

One point was equal to 10 gold coins. It was a bit expensive, but he knew he needed these skills to survive on the island. 

'Underwater breathing and climbing will come in handy during exploring the island,' Rain thought to himself.

'And with Alchemy skill, I can make potions and elixirs. After all, I have many recipes for elixirs and potions.'

However Rain noticed there were only beginner level skills. 

"I will ask to system about this later." Rain mumbled. 

With his skills acquired, Rain started following his daily routine on the island.

He had created this routine to keep himself on track and ensure he made the most of his time here. 

He woke up early in the morning and performed a series of physical exercises to keep himself fit and healthy.

He started with a warm-up of jumping jacks and stretching, followed by a 1 hour run on the beach.

After his run, he did some strength training with a pair of dumbbells he had found on the island.

He did three sets of 10 reps for each exercise, including bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses. This took him around 20-30 minutes.

'Nothing like a good workout to start the day right,' he thought as he finished up and headed for a quick shower to refresh himself. 

Once he was feeling clean and energized, Rain would proceed to cook himself a delicious breakfast and enjoy it, savoring the flavors of the food and the satisfaction of taking care of himself.

He spent around 30 minutes on breakfast and relaxation before starting his day of exploration on the island.

One of the things that Rain enjoyed the most was exploring the island he was on.

The salty sea air filled his lungs, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore was music to his ears.

During his expeditions, he would gather herbs that he could use for various purposes such as medicine or cooking.

Rain was always amazed at the different kinds of plants that grew on the island, each with their unique properties and uses.

He made sure to take note of their locations in his journal, so he could find them again in the future.

He would also hunt monsters that roamed the island, both for the challenge and the reward of obtaining valuable resources.

Rain loved the thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline rush he felt when he finally took down a tough foe.

It reminded him that he was alive, and that every moment on this island was precious.

In addition to that, he would also take time to appreciate the natural beauty of the island, often mapping out new areas that he had yet to explore.

Rain marveled at the sheer diversity of the island's flora and fauna, and he was grateful for the opportunity to witness it all firsthand.

As the evening approached, Rain would return to his house and cook himself a hearty dinner, savoring the fruits of his labor.

The smell of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, and Rain's stomach rumbled in anticipation.

He always made sure to cook enough food for the next day as well, so he wouldn't have to worry about it later.

He would spend some time watching lectures from the Academy, which were a source of knowledge and inspiration for him.

Rain was fascinated by the different schools of magic and the various applications of mana. He hoped to one day master all of them.

Rain would also practice his mana control, honing his magical abilities and strengthening his connection with Mana as he read in the manual.

He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing, feeling the energy flow through his body. It was a peaceful and calming experience, one that he looked forward to every day.

Finally, after a long day of exploring, learning, and improving himself, Rain would retire to his comfortable bed, ready to rest and recharge for another day of adventure and self-improvement.

As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but feel grateful for this island and all it had to offer.

Good night. Sweet dreams…

Fin. The end.

While Rain went about his daily routine on the island, life in the outer world continued to bustle with activity.

As the sun rose over Dawn city, countless young men and women began to make their way towards the bustling metropolis.

For this was the heart of humanity, the center of civilization, and home to one of the largest cities in the world.

Nestled within its towering walls lay the prestigious 'Awakeners Training Academy, Nexus,' the most esteemed institution of learning for mankind.

***

After the monster invasion, much of the earth lay in ruin, forcing humanity to flee for their lives.

However, a turning point came with the 'Great Reshuffle', a time when some cities were liberated from the monsters' clutches.

Dawn City was one of the first cities to be freed, and as a symbol of the new dawn, it was aptly named.

The restoration of Dawn City was swift, thanks to the resilience and perseverance of its people.

As a result, many displaced individuals flocked to the city, seeking refuge and hope.

Dawn City quickly became a bustling metropolis, and a beacon of hope for the millions who had lost their homes.

After the 'Great Reshuffle' ended, a new government was formed with influential public figures, representatives from former superpower countries, and the ten great commanders who played pivotal roles during the upheaval.

Their top priority was to develop new cities and facilities to replace those that were destroyed.

In a unanimous decision, they declared Dawn City the capital of humanity.

However, peace did not last long as a demon invasion soon ensued.

In response, the government saw the need for an institution to teach practical skills to young people.

Thus, the Awakened Academy, Nexus was established in Dawn City, with several secondary branches established in other cities in the following years.

Despite the other branches, the one in Dawn City remained the flagship and the most prestigious.

Aspiring students from all over the human country flocked to the Academy, eager to prove themselves worthy of admission.

The streets buzzed with chatter and excitement as people from all walks of life converged for this momentous occasion.

It felt almost like a small festival, with strangers exchanging greetings and sharing stories of their journeys.

Despite the festive atmosphere, security remained tight.

Authorities knew that caution was necessary to maintain order and safety in a world where danger lurked around every corner.

Guards patrolled the streets, ensuring that the entrance exam proceeded without incident.

For these young men and women, this was the opportunity of a lifetime.

They had worked hard to get here and knew that the road ahead would be even more challenging.

But they were determined to succeed, to prove themselves worthy of the honor and prestige that came with being a student at the Nexus. 

And so, with hearts full of determination, they stepped boldly into the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
