Villain Is on Vacation

Chapter 23 Was That Dream?



After looking at the sword for some time, Rain stored it in his space ring.

"Thanks for the sword, old man." Rain smiled and thanked Lohar. 

"No need to thank me. I also got a precious opportunity to work on a meteor ore," Lohar said like it was a casual matter for him. 

"By the way, old man. Can I come again when I want to upgrade my sword?" Rain asked. He didn\'t know any better forger than Lohar, who can work on Nandaka. If Rain can assure that Lohar will work on [Nandaka] next time, too. It will be great. 

"Nah. You can\'t." Lohar shook his head. He took a jug of beer from the table and took a mouthful of sip from it. 

"Why?" Rain inquired. 

"Because I won\'t be there." Lohar scoffed. 

"Where will you be? Tell me. I will come to meet you." Rain said this with determination. 

Lohar was surprised to hear this. He smirked. 

"I don\'t know where I will be. I am a wandering dwarf. Today here and tomorrow somewhere else. No permanent address. Hahahaha" Lohar laughed. 

"Brat, do you know how large this world is? How many kinds of wine there is in this world? There are many places to visit. Many striking beauties can destroy the country. You don\'t know it. "

Lohar said excitedly. 

Rain nodded his head. After hearing things from Lohar, he also wanted to travel around the world.

"When can I meet you next time, old man?" Rain asked the final question. If he had any deadline, he can prepare for it. 

"Brat, I don\'t have a fixed schedule. I live on whims and do what I want. If there is fate, we will meet again." Lohar tapped Rain\'s back.

"Okay, old man. It\'s time to take my leave. We will meet again if there is fate." Rain turned and just when he was leaving. Lohar tapped his shoulder. 

"Wait. It\'s not time for your leave." Lohar said. 

"How so?" Rain tilted his head.

"You haven\'t paid your bill yet, useless brat!!" Lohar threw a bill on Rain\'s face. 

Rain caught the bill and saw the amount. After seeing it, his face became blue.

 ***

After paying the payment (2000 gold) of the sword to Lohar, Rain came out of the shop.

He slowly started walking.

Remembering the details of the sword, He thought.

\'That\'s a good sword. However, just too expensive.\' It cost him whopping 2000 gold coins.

He started thinking about the benefits he got after drinking the wine.

Now his Mana was also at E rank.

His mastery over Mana Control has become Elementary.

After hunting with Thunder Eagle Rain\'s mastery over Marksmanship was on the verge of breaking through Elementary.

However, Rain was more concerned about another thing. 

It was about the dream he show in Lohar\'s Smithy. He was truly wondering what the hell was that dream.

As he didn\'t want to make a fuss at Lohar\'s shop. So he acted like it was nothing, but that dream was strange to him. Rather than a dream, it was like [a nightmare].

Rain felt that this wasn\'t just some mere coincidence, because the scene he saw in the dream was the same as the scene that happened in the game. This chain of events was making him suspicious. Like something odd was going on.

The scene that he saw in the dream was the same scene where Rain gets his first Villain awakening. For a moment, he felt hard to control his emotions.

In that scenario, Emma challenged Rain to a duel. As parents or any outsiders weren\'t allowed in the academy, no one could do anything about that.

Emma gets resources from her family like crazy. Moreover, after some fruitful encounters, she became stronger than Rain. You can also call it "Heroine\'s luck".

On the other hand, Rain shouldered everything on himself.

Still, he gave her a tough fight.

However, in the end, he lost.

After the duel, Emma canceled the engagement because she won the duel, and Kaya also smeared many dark stains on Rain\'s reputation with some rumors.

So, taking advantage of his vulnerability, Kaya also gave him a blow and he got disowned by his family.

Although he kept getting support from his parents. So don\'t think it\'s their decision. Other family members, like elders, decided on this, and Charles reluctantly had to agree. 

***

After recalling the details, Rain started pondering.

\'So what was the reason behind this? Why did he see that dream now? 

There are some possibilities, like not in a game but in a novel. Yes, the game was adapted from a novel. There might be something hidden in the novel.\'

Rain continued thinking about other possibilities.

\'There\'s also the chance that the author wrote the story but not published it.

There is also a chance that this is the effect of the Reincarnator title.

And this is not 2nd, but my 3rd life. And my first life was in a novel? Looks like things are not simple now.\'

Then, Rain thought about the last possibility.

\'There is also the chance that Lohar mixed something weird in the wine.\'

To find out about that, Rain asked the system.

\'Hey, system, check my body status and tell me if there are any abnormalities.\'

[Yes. Host.]

After some time...

[Abnormalities are found in the Host\'s condition.

Drunken, Confusion, Hallucinations.]

\'Wait, so all of that was because of that wine?\' Rain was astonished. He didn\'t think that something like this will happen because of drinking wine.

\'That Old man didn\'t tell me the side effect.

However, why was only I got affected by the side effect? 

On the other hand, the protagonist of the game did it easily. Is this villain\'s fate?

Looks like the players were right about him. That stingy dwarf never gives anything free.\' Rain was slightly ticked off because he didn\'t know about the side effects. It\'s because something like this didn\'t happen with the protagonist when he drank wine in the game.

\'I will remember it. Wait for me, you old man. I will take my revenge for making me those nightmares.\'

Still, Rain tried to think from another perspective. Although Rain was thinking this, he didn\'t believe in the system either. There wasn\'t any guarantee that the system was telling the truth.

\'But it\'s also good. Now I am motivated.

I will change my bad ending.\' Rain clenched his fist. He hid his face with a hood.

\'Let\'s go to take today\'s third hidden piece.\' Just like that, he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
