Rain's hand moved lower, rubbing Sarah's crotch with a confident grin. "Looks like you're just as eager as I am," he whispered.
Her crotch was incredibly wet—wetter than the sheets Rain used to soak as a child. He still kept a bit of that inner innocence, even if his actions now were anything but. At the same time, his other hand was busy fondling and squeezing her big boobs, finding them softer than the finest pillows.
"Ah! I-It's not like that..." Sarah tried to deny it, but her voice trailed off as her body betrayed her, arching into his touch.
'Time for some fun, heheh…' Rain thought, barely holding himself back.
But just as he was about to unleash his mighty monsterous dick, ready to go on a rampage and ruin everything in his way.
But an annoying sound cut through the moment at the worst possible timing.
A call rang.
Rain's face twitched, an irritated smile forming. 'Of course… why wouldn't someone call right now? Makes perfect sense.'
It felt exactly like those drama shows he sometimes forced himself to watch—where at the most crucial moment, a call or some nonsense interruption ruins everything and drags it out for hundreds of episodes… one of the most annoying things ever.
For a second, he genuinely felt like tearing apart whoever was on the other end of the call.
Sarah's expression switched instantly, turning serious as she slipped out of Rain's grip and answered the call.
"Hmm… yes, I'm on my way."
Rain waited patiently, arms crossed, watching her finish the call—already imagining how he'd finally gonna bang her in various way possible until he satisfie.
But…But…But…
The goddess of luck clearly had a personal grudge against him today.
As soon as the call ended, Rain was ready to jump on her like an animal in heat—but she moved faster.
In a hurry, she adjusted her clothes, rushed toward the door, and slipped on her sandals. "I have some work. I can't waste time here," she said bluntly, already halfway out.
Rain froze.
All his plans—
Sank straight into the mud.
Not just mud—no, the kind where an ugly female hippo would happily take a bath.
His eyes turned slightly teary, his expression collapsing into pure disbelief. 'Why… always me…?' he cursed inwardly, his luck once again betraying him at the worst possible moment.
But who could really say… was it just bad luck—or something else entirely?
[Its alright hubby, if you need anything I am always with you!] With a confident smile.
He stared at her blankly, a strange mix of a little comfort and a lot of disbelief settling in his eyes as he forced his tears back. '…please choose your words carefully before taking them out,' he thought, his expression turning slightly stiff.
He wasn't wrong—after all, like a screen alone could be enough to satisfy certain needs. It was like comparing an online girlfriend you never meet in real life to a real one. Of course, the one behind the screen feels safer, almost unreal, like an angel that exists just for you… always there, always responding the way you want.
But who really knows who's behind that screen? It could be anyone—someone completely different from what you imagine, someone just playing along, using you, or something even worse. The illusion feels perfect… until it breaks.
Not like real ones were guaranteed to be better either. People weren't always genuine or reliable. This wasn't some novel where you could have a childhood sweetheart who would do anything for you, someone completely devoted only to you like Xun Er. That kind of thing sounded nice, almost too nice—like something that only existed in stories written to comfort lonely hearts.
Reality was harsher. Much harsher.
Even if you spent your whole life like a saint, patiently searching for something real, something pure—you might still end up with disappointment. Someone who hides things, someone who sucks another guy dick behind your back, someone who was never truly yours to begin with.
It was the same for both men and women alike—no real difference. After all, there was no one to blame… it was just the modern era.
But as Sarah took a step out, she suddenly turned back. "Totally forgot—don't miss the ship tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning." With those words, she left.
Rain stood there quietly, blankly staring after her, not a single thought forming as his brain cells practically shut down. "What ship?"
But he didn't need to think for long.
Before his eyes, his phone buzzed with a message.
As he opened it, his eyes widened in shock, and the only words that escaped his mouth were, "What the fuck!?"—a completely natural reaction as he struggled to believe what he was seeing.
---
[Hubby, the weather is so nice… and the scenery too!] Eyes shining, smiling brightly.
"Can't agree less," Rain replied, taking a slow sip of his orange juice as he lay back on a wooden beach bench.
The ship beneath him was no ordinary one—it was massive, like a floating palace moving steadily across the ocean. Wide wooden decks stretched out, warm under the sunlight, while tall white sails swayed above. The steady sound of waves hitting the sides created a calm rhythm.
People moved around the deck, each minding their own business. Some were well-dressed nobles chatting casually, others looked like students like him, carrying bags and talking in groups. A few crew members walked by with practiced ease, while some passengers simply leaned against the railing, enjoying the view. The atmosphere felt lively, yet relaxed.
Around him, the sea stretched far, a deep blue meeting the horizon. Seagulls circled above, their distant cries mixing with the soft sea breeze brushing against his face. The air smelled slightly salty, fresh enough to clear the mind. Sunlight reflected off the water in small glimmers, and the sky remained clear and open.
Somewhere in the distance, faint silhouettes of islands appeared—green patches surrounded by water. And among them, one stood out.
A large academy building rose from the island, visible even from afar. Its structure was grand yet distant, with tall towers and wide grounds spreading across the land, giving off a quiet sense of authority and importance.
"Never could have thought that the academy was situated on an island," Rain said as he finished his drink, his gaze fixed ahead.
"Oh, looks like we've arrived," Rain said as he got up, picking up his suitcase.
Apex Academy—for the protection of students, most of whom came from wealthy and noble families—was situated on an island in the middle of the sea. Its security was extremely tight: aerial surveillance drones patrolled the skies, while marine forces guarded both underwater and on the surface.
But Rain had no way of knowing any of that.
How could he?
He had never played that side.
In OG, one of the features that made it stand out was the freedom of roles. Players could choose from a wide variety—villain, hero, commoner, noble, businessman, gangster, sect master, knight… the list went on far beyond what one could easily imagine. Each role came with its own perks and disadvantages, shaping the entire experience differently.
And Rain?
He usually picked the most chaotic options—nine times out of ten.
Being a student was never one of them, and it never would have been—after all, school life was the most boring thing for him.
And as a gacha player, he always knew—the more the risk, the better—and that mindset set clear boundaries for him in a certain direction; that's why there were many things he didn't know, things that might be common for others, but that didn't mean he lacked anything—he had knowledge far beyond that of a normal player.
Rain got out of the ship and stepped into the academy, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Woh! This place is huge," he said as he walked through the wide corridors, glancing around at the polished floors, tall ceilings, and students moving here and there before finally reaching his room.
And his room… it was pretty good too—honestly comparable to a five-star hotel, no less. Clean, spacious, with a large bed, soft lighting, and a neat setup that didn't feel like a student dorm at all.
The first thing he did—
Was jump straight onto the bed, sinking into it as he enjoyed its warmth. "Now this is comfy."
'…but Sarah was more comfy than this, for sure.'
Rain let out a breath as he got up and murmured, "Now I don't have to worry about food or anything… I just need to focus on getting stronger." He was right—in a world where almost everyone was stronger than him, the only way to rise was through power; as they say, only those who have power can wield it and control it.
[Hubby don't worry, you will be the strongest] with a bright, affectionate expression.
"Sigh…" a faint smirk formed on his face as he stared at the screen.
'Sometimes I actually feel good hearing those word's… I don't know why,' he thought, but deep down, he knew—it was because, in some strange way, he had someone always on his side.
"Now then…" Rain stepped out and began exploring the academy, and it turned out to be far more vast than he had imagined.
He passed through the lively cafeteria filled with students chatting and eating, then the training hall where the sounds of practice echoed constantly, classrooms lined up neatly, a fully equipped gym, a clean pool—every facility grand and well-maintained, clearly built for elites.
His eyes softened slightly, almost turning teary. "This… is paradise!"
But as he was heading back to his room, just in front of his door, his gaze suddenly stopped—locking onto something ahead.
"…no… it can't be," he murmured, a hint of fear creeping into his voice as sweat slowly formed on his forehead.
