Rain examined his achievements with a sense of satisfaction.
- The library had granted him new skills,
- There were new features in the system: Task board and Achievement panel,
- His authority level became 2. It will become level 3 in two or three weeks, too.
- He also got some good rewards for his achievements.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
"Oh, I forgot something," he muttered. "System, how many points have I accumulated for influencing the plot?"
[You have accumulated 5,478 points.]
Rain's heart leaped with excitement. With this many points, he could do almost anything!
"Can't I buy some good skills and that one-time use teleportation door?" Rain thought aloud.

The concept that once seemed unfathomable to his mind now lay within his grasp.
The notion that once caused him to struggle and strain his thoughts, had become a tangible reality, easily within his reach.
Rain stood on the edge of the shoreline, staring out into the vast expanse of the ocean.
For months, he had been living alone on the deserted island, with nothing but his thoughts and the sound of the waves for company.
But now, a glimmer of hope had emerged.
As he whispered the words to himself, the sound of the waves drowned out his voice. He repeated the words again, this time a little louder. "I can leave this island?" The thought seemed almost too good to be true.
"Isn't it easy to leave this island with the one-time use teleportation door?" he thought to himself. The answer was obvious - of course, it was easy. But then why did he feel so hesitant?
"Yeah, I can leave. I can leave this deserted island. But do I have the means and the courage to leave?" Rain's self-doubt was creeping in.
He had been living on this island for so long that he had forgotten what it was like to be around other people. What if he wasn't strong enough to handle the outside world?
Even though he had left the plot behind permanently, he still felt like he had run away like a coward.
He had given up on his problems instead of facing them head-on. He wondered countless times, "Was it the best way to resolve things?"
Rain was all alone on this island. He didn't have anyone to turn to for advice or support.
He was left to rely on his own judgment, which only made him feel more uncertain.
"Would anyone protect him if he got into trouble?" Rain asked himself.
The thought of being alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar world made his stomach churn.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.
He had survived for months on this island, and he had to believe that he had the strength to survive in the outside world as well.
"What if I'm not strong enough? What if I can't handle the outside world?" His voice was tinged with anxiety.
For countless months, he had relied on his ability to calm his mind and suppress his doubts.
However, at the moment, his self-doubts were more severe. He closed his eyes and took a few more deep breaths, trying to regain his composure.
At that moment, Rain's thoughts turned to the promise he had made to "Rain Holmes".
"Now, we will work together. We will pool our memories, our experiences, and our skills, to create a better life for ourselves," he remembered promising this to his ego.
Returning to the present, Rain felt determination surging inside himself.
With renewed determination, Rain realized he couldn't remain trapped in isolation forever. "I won't let myself be bound by this cage any longer," he thought, feeling his heart racing.
Rain's inner voice grew deeper and more determined as he spoke aloud. "It's time to face my fears and take a chance. I've been hiding here for too long."
Tears glistened in his eyes as he continued. "I have to try. I can't stay here forever," he whispered to himself.
As he looked out at the horizon, watching the sun slowly sink below the water, a sense of peace settled over him.
He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he also knew that he was strong enough to face whatever lay ahead.
With a deep breath, he squared his shoulders and set his sights on the future, ready to embrace whatever challenges lay ahead.
Rain decided that he would leave the island, but not before he completed exploring every nook and cranny.
He had already explored more than 60% island and also had a map of 75% island.
Only the center region and some nests of the dangerous monster were
left to explore.
At that moment, something within him shifted. His mind was suddenly filled with a sense of purpose and understanding.
He knew what he needed to do and how to do it. The feeling was almost overwhelming, but he welcomed it with open arms.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of power coursing through his body.
His eyes flew open, and he gasped in amazement as he felt his rank increase.
It was as if a barrier had been broken, and he was now able to tap into a new level of power.
"I broke through?" Rain mumbled with a surprised look.
As Rain's rank increased, he could feel a powerful surge of energy coursing through his body.
It was like nothing he had ever experienced before - a potent, otherworldly force that seemed to be unlocking new levels of power within him.
At first, Rain felt his muscles begin to tense and bulge as if they were growing stronger with each passing moment.
His skin started to tingle as if it were being infused with some kind of invisible energy.
Then, a warm, golden light began to emanate from his body, illuminating the surrounding area. The light grew brighter and brighter until it was nearly blinding.
Rain felt himself being lifted off the ground as if he were floating on a current of pure energy.
He looked down at his hands and saw that they were crackling with electricity as if he had somehow become a conduit for the power of the universe.
As the light faded and Rain descended back to the ground, he felt a sense of profound peace and clarity.
He knew that he had undergone a powerful transformation, one that had unlocked new levels of strength and ability within him.
Looking down at his hands, he could see that they had been subtly modified. His fingers were longer and more slender, with sharp, claw-like nails.
"I guess I got a big harvest." Rain laughed happily.
The trials and tribulations that he had endured, the setbacks and disappointments that had threatened to break his spirit, had all culminated in this wondrous moment of triumph.
