Villain Is on Vacation



[Top floor, Auction House, Virtual World, Mythosia]

Following Rain's departure, chaos ensued in the auction hall for a short period.

"Who was that?" Eva asked Ken, curious about the stranger she had just witnessed.

"No idea," Ken shrugged in response, unsure of the man's identity or why he had greeted him.

"He must have recognised from you somewhere," Noah said. 

"Maybe he is fan of yours?" Daphne added.

"Or maybe he just wanted to be friends?" Amy chimed in. 

"One thing's for sure, though," James interjected, "that guy is hella loaded. Did you see how much he spent on those scrolls?" He waved his hands in air enthusiastically.

Ken agreed, still processing the unexpected encounter. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had met someone important, someone who could change his life. "He said we'd meet again. Does that mean he knows who I am?" Ken wondered aloud.

Despite the brief interruption, the auction hall quickly resumed its lively atmosphere. Excited bidders vied for rare and valuable items, with Ricky's voice filling the room and the occasional outburst from enthusiastic participants.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, influential figures in the hall began to investigate Ken and the mysterious bigshot, generating unwanted attention for Ken. If Ken knew Rain set this much aggro on him, even gentle and kind Ken would be pissed off. 

It's because Ken's intention was to demonstrate some of his strength while concealing his trump cards. However, Rain's actions had caused a significant amount of trouble for him.

As the auction progressed, the excitement grew more intense, with even observers getting caught up in the frenzy.

However, from Ken's group only Amy bought some rare ores, as the rest of them couldn't afford anything, as the prices were too steep for their limited budgets. 

Some of people from Ken's group couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed at not being able to secure anything for themselves, but Ken reminded them that they had other priorities.

"I guess it's time to focus on training and building up our strength," Ken said to his friends, trying to shake off their disappointment. "We'll have plenty of opportunities to acquire rare items in the future. We also have to depart with professor tomorrow for [Roaring cave]>"

His friends nodded in agreement, and they made their way out of the auction hall, eager to get back to their training and continue their journey. As they walked out into the bustling streets, Ken couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for what the future held. 

Just like that, they logged out. 

As the auction came to a close, people started to leave the hall, chatting and discussing the events of the day. Many of them couldn't help but wonder who the mysterious bigshot was and what kind of person he really was.

[VIP Area of Auction Hall]

A charming couple was sitting there in private room. They were also discussing about today's events. 

"Hey, Charles. Why didn't you buy that ancient scroll? It looked mysterious." Carla asked curiously.

"Carla. That thing is trouble. God knows what kind of people are trying to get it. Our family's inner condition is already not good." Charles said in grim voice and added, "If we had bought that scroll I am sure many bad forces will come behind us and I don't even know how to use that scroll." 

Hearing this, Carla nodded. 

"However, don't you find that mysterious guy familiar? I felt that I have seen him somewhere. Just can't remember." Carla shrugged her shoulders. 

Charles patted her shoulders and said while comforting her, "By the way, should we start cleaning up our family from next month? I have caught the tail of the traitor." He smirked. 

"Yeah." Carla agreed.

[Rain's POV]

'System. Log out.' 

As soon as Rain murmured this words, the bright lights of the auction hall slowly faded away, replaced by dim lighting inside of the capsule. 

Soon, Rain came out of the capsule and shook his head, trying shake of the transition effects. As he stood up on the floor, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. 

Winning the bid for the scrolls was a small thing for Rain. He didn't even want that scrolls. 

He walked towards his desk and sat on the chair. As his back sank into the cusion- which was on the chair he felt relaxed.

He started remembering about the scrolls and The Eldritch ritual. 

Even though summoning beings from the other dimension wasn't an easy feat. You have to control the process of summoning.

Some people might say that as Elves, Dwarfs and those other races came from other dimensions. However, they don't have evidence. 

But Rain knew - this theory was true. Those races really came from other dimensions. Still, he didn't know process behind that as author of the never described it in detail.

In the , author just mentioned some of the dimensions. So Rain knew what kind of dengers that scrolls can bring. 

In one of the scenarios, Blood Supremacy club got those scrolls. As they had ties with the evil organization, 'Covenant of Chaos' they also knew method of using those scrolls. 

With the help of those scrolls, Elder Burion summoned a giant beholder. 

Beholders are large dangerous creatures form the other dimension. They have massive body and multiple tentacles. They are known for their distinctive appearance, which includes large central eye and several smaller eyes on stalks that can shoot deadly rays of energy. 

Not only that, they are very intelligent and possess powerful magic. However, they are in the monster. 

Even though, Eldritch ritual was complex and required great deal of preparation, Covenant of Chaos had already made all preparations. Elder Burion had information regarding this from demons so he summoned the beholder after great deal of hard work. 

However, the scrolls were cursed. Because of that, Elder Burion was vunrable at that time and became easy prey for the newcomer in this dimension. 

If it weren't for that hidden piece in the Roaring Cave, Ken surely would have died.

But now everything was different. 

Blood Supremacy club doesn't have the scrolls to perform Eldritch ritual. 

Elder Burion is also dead. 

So Ken doesn't need hidden piece, right? 

As a gentleman Rain decided to take it.

[In Dark Room] 

"I can't believe you lost in bid to those children." A guy with muscles angrily shouted at blonde haired youth. 

"You know how important those scrolls are for our goal. Still you lost them." That guy further rambled. However, blonde haired youth was listening him without any expression.

"You even lost the bid for 1 Gold coins, fucking 1 Gold coin. You should have just sold yourself and got that one gold coin. You peice of shit." Muscle head guy was getting angry because of blonde haired youth's lack of response. 

"A naphew like his uncle. Both returns with failure of mission." That guy mumbled.

As soon as those words came out, murderous aura spread from blonde haired youth.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"I said like how Elder Burion went and died. He didn't even complete the mission like you. Both of you are failures. You should also die like him, Nick Burion." Muscle head guy snickered. There was a mocking expression on his face. 

However, soon his world turned upside down and his sight view turned red.

'What happened?' This was his last thought.

"Never mock my uncle." He said while holding muscle head guy's severed head.

Soon he threw that head in corner of the room and wiped his hands elegantly.

"I will surely bring hell to those guys. Especially that Ken." There was evil smirk on his face.
