Chapter 51 Underwater World
As the first light of day crept over the horizon, diligent students poured over their books, eager to gain knowledge and excel in their studies.
Meanwhile, Rain, a natural wonder, slumbered peacefully in his abode, surrounded by the soft sound of waves and the gentle patter of droplets on his roof.
But his tranquility was suddenly shattered by a jarring disturbance from the outside world, jolting him from his sleep.

Rain was abruptly awoken by the incessant ringing of the notification sounds, echoing loudly through the silent room and cutting through the peaceful stillness of the early morning.
Each ring seemed to pierce through the air and penetrate his consciousness, jarring him awake from his deep slumber.
The sudden noise startled Rain from his sleep, causing him to jolt upright and fall off the bed, his back aching as it touched the floor.
"Ahh," Rain groaned, finding the sound very annoying.
As someone who trained a lot and worked hard every day, he liked to have quiet sleep.
"In the end, Rain couldn't bear it anymore and said with a cold tone, "Can you stop it now? You won't get any better if you keep that kind of crap up." The system soon stopped ringing.
"Ah, so annoying in the morning," Rain mumbled, knowing that the system had intentionally done this to wake him up and annoy him.
After being disturbed in his sleep, Rain wasn't in the mood to sleep in again either.
Instead, he decided to check the notifications from the system.
As Rain started checking the system's notifications, he found out that he had earned some points.
"Oh, looks like I influenced the plot somehow. But I only did what was already mentioned in the story, just earlier," he thought, puzzled by the unexpected reward.
He had given gifts to some of the characters before the point system was unlocked, so he assumed it didn't count as an achievement.
Moreover, he also had done many "good deeds".
"Why am I getting these points? Shit system." Rain asked the system bluntly, but all he got was an unhelpful response.
►[Insufficient Authority. Information blocked, Shit Host.]
With no further explanation, Rain was left to his own thoughts. "This system doesn't tell me anything. Looks like I messed up something. What could it be?" he wondered, annoyed by the ambiguity. Unexpected things were the only thing he disliked.
"It will be troublesome if some weird thing sticks to me." Rain grumbled.
After some time pondering the issue, Rain couldn't come up with a definitive answer. Although he had some assumptions, there was no evidence to back them up.
In the end, he gave up and decided to focus on what he wanted to do instead.
"I will think about it carefully. For now, let's focus on getting stronger. If I am stronger, nobody can mess with me and I can enjoy life," he resolved, determined to stay ahead of the plot.
After exploring this island for the whole week, Rain had already adapted it there.
He opened System menu and checked his status.

Rain stared at his status screen, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "Finally, I've regained my previous rank," he thought to himself.
As he explored the island, Rain faced numerous challenges, each one testing his strength and stamina.
He pushed himself harder with each passing day, determined to become the best reincarnator he could be.
"I can't give up now. I need to keep going," he muttered under his breath as he struggled to lift the heavy body weights.
At night, Rain settled down to watch the theory lectures, his mind calm and focused.
He absorbed the material easily, his intelligence increasing with each passing day. "This is fascinating," he said to himself as he watched a lecture on mana control. "I can't wait to put this into practice."
As Rain practiced manipulating his mana, he felt the energy flowing through his body, exhilarated by the sensation. "This is amazing," he whispered to himself as he cast his first spell successfully.
Rain felt a surge of pride and determination. "I've come so far in just a week," he said aloud, a smile spreading across his face. "But I still have a long way to go. I need to keep pushing myself."
After checking his status, he checked his skills.

Rain had acquired the alchemy skill from the system store and dedicated time to perfecting it.
However, his progress was unsatisfactory compared to others, as he struggled to create potions of decent quality and frequently ended up with incomplete ones.
Despite these setbacks, Rain remained persistent and continued to practice his skills.
One day, Rain decided to take a break from his training and venture out to explore the island.
He was eager to test out his newly acquired underwater breathing skill and planned to do something different that day.
With his trusty weapons, the 'Nandaka' sword and the 'Thunder Eagle' gun, Rain set out to explore the island's underwater depths.
As he passed through the forest, he gathered herbs and fruits whenever he stumbled upon them.
Since he needed System points now and wanted to save his gold coins in case of an emergency, he found it necessary to collect these items.
Additionally, herbs were necessary for alchemy practice, while rare fruits provided good nutrition for his body.
Because Rain had made a map while exploring the island, he was able to find his way quickly without getting disturbed by any monsters.
