Despite these conflicting emotions, Rain ultimately came to terms with his own limitations. He acknowledged that while he desired to help everyone and shoulder their burdens, there was a limit to what he could realistically handle or manage right now.
By accepting this truth, he aimed to be more realistic in his approach, understanding that attempting to take on more than he could handle would not be beneficial for anyone involved.
In the end, Rain decided to think in silence for a while to think of the best options that they had… moving everyone to a single place was probably the best, but that also would make them easier to find by the enemies.
At the same time, things would be difficult for the sea folk since they needed to repay the favor they obtained from the demi humans… they also didn't have a land that they could use.
"We have to get rid of the ice dragons, but that will draw attention to us as well," Rain thought. "It looks like the best option to keep increasing our strength in silence and surprise the enemies."
Rain knew that he had to make some more definitive moves… things like finding the human who attacked the magic and beast people, the teleport guy and confirm that the dragon god truly wasn't looking at Earth right now… once all of those take place, they had to start decreasing the number of enemies…
The best place to hide was the first layer of the planet… but that was a place that they couldn't use that well. There was no light, growing food there will be difficult and hiding was also something that they didn't want to do it anymore. Rain took a deep breath to clear his head… as usual, things were only getting more complicated.
While Rain was trying to come up with a solution, Terra eventually fell asleep while resting on his lap… it looked she enjoyed that a bit too much and she didn't mind bein seeing in that position. Regardless, everyone there was sleeping heavily and things had gotten dark outside, so it was fine.

"The seals can help, but it won't be that useful since all of us have the strength to fight… to use the diligence path, it will be better if it is complete before I can help everyone unlock it," Rain thought. "There is also the possibility that they won't learn it unless the path is actually complete and registered by the system."
Rain sighed again… in the end, the only real option was to create a system where they would have the advantage and not be limited by the paths system. Since Rain could create his domain and change its rules, the others should be able to do the same… or at least pretty soon.

The paths system was made to help people get stronger, but the one who benefits the most is the system itself by getting all the experience and knowledge of those involved in it. So, Rain wanted to make a system that benefitted the user the most… perhaps it would be better to make a different version for each user, but Rain had to start with the basics before going that far.
"I guess a class system would have the most potential, but it would take a while to gain traction…" Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I need something more definitive for myself that will reward me more. With more risks, I can gain more in exchange as well…"
Rain decided to power up his domain and put that kind of rule in exchange… for starters, he decided to make his domain have some rules, the first one was that when he fights someone, the loser would give a certain amount of energy equivalent to the winner. Usually, a bunch of it would be lost if the loser died and didn't use all of it, and Rain wanted that to increase his growth progress.
You fulfilled the requirements to create a new path. How do you wish to name the path?
"... But I canceled the system inside the domain… how is this possible?" Rain thought and then began to rub his eyes. "I guess I am not powerful enough to nullify the system in its entirety. Or maybe I am forcing this motherfucker to work for a change... maybe I can exploit this and see what else can happen with this. This will be fun."
That was a bit worrisome, but it couldn't be helped… it was another lesson that Rain learned. Eventually, he knew that he would find a way to deal with all that.
The Gambit's Path represents a particular line and specialization within the magical system that emphasizes strategic thinking, calculated risk-taking, and mastery over tactics. This path is not merely about raw power or brute force but revolves around using intelligence, cunning, and foresight to outmaneuver opponents. Luck + 10
Lv 01: Mortal Bet - by deciding a condition before a fight and accomplishing it, you can take a certain amount of energy from the enemy even before defeating them. The amount will be equal to the level of the skill multiplied by one hundred and it is applied to Health, Mana, and Stamina.
Rain felt annoyed because he didn't want such limitations… Still, the system worked like that because nobody anyone developing stupidly unreasonable techniques.
In any case, Rain had another idea, but he didn't know if he wanted to develop the technique and give the system the chance to stop the potential of the technique.
"I guess it will be fine… once I am strong enough to fight the system, the limits will be lifted," Rain thought. "Maybe I should work with that in mind…"
In any case, Rain began to work on how the next technique should work, and he tried to increase the mana density in his domain to fight the system, but it didn't work once again…
A new skill was added to the Diligence Path.
