After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World! Chapter 8: First green hat and status
Rain waited for the chubby hog to get to him. Which, with the hog's speed, took a little while.
Facing Rain, the man asked out of breath.
"Rain, have you seen my wife?"
Rain took another look at the man's unfamiliar face.
'What makes that chubby guy think I know his family?'
With mild irritation, Rain asked.
"What's her na?"
The man threw a puzzled look at him, but due to his haste he decided to let it pass and replied.
"Celestia, I have sothing important to tell her."
Rain's pupils dilated for a second.
He knew from Rain's mories that, unlike Celestia, who'd tried to help him, her husband had despised him, thinking him unworthy of his place as heir to the family. He hadn't been so fat back then, and his hair wasn't gag-inducing, so Rain didn't recognize him right away.
Rain never thought he'd et the husband of a hot milf so early in life.
He was short, overweight and had a retarded haircut. Although Rain couldn't see his strength, he looked pretty weak.
Compared to Celestia's aura of power, which could be felt even when she was just sitting there, the most Rain could sll from the person across from him was the scent of his sweat.
All of this created a ridiculous contrast between the two.
'How did they get together in the first place? However, it doesn't matter anymore…'
Realizing the situation, Rain explained.
"I've just been to see her. She's busy and has asked that no one disturb her for the next few hours."
The man gave Rain another strange look.
"Really? I think I'll go anyway–"
"Auntie said she'd beat up anyone who dared co in."
Abruptly Rain interrupted him.
Rain didn't mind him seeing her in that state, but the ti for that hadn't co yet.
As soon as the chubby man heard Rain's words, he swallowed nervously and his eyes started running around.
"I-I see. Then I'll probably co see her tomorrow… I rembered I still have things to do..."
Letting out so ridiculous excuse, he turned around and stiffly walked back, hoping to retain at least so of his pride in front of this young man.
Unfortunately, he did not know that all his pride had disappeared with the last drop of milk from his wife's breast...
As Rain looked after him, he couldn't help but smile.
'You're in for a lot of surprises soon, friend.'
[The Goddess was right, you do have the NTR Antagonist vibe.]
Rain didn't understand what the system ant and decided to just ignore it.
'I still want to hear about how you're useful to .'
[I can help you steal won.]
In a slightly more confident voice, the system replied.
'You an the won associated with the hero?'
[No. You don't have any restrictions. Of course, it is often the won associated with the hero who will bring more rewards.]
Rain felt an excited shiver run through his body.
Stealing won and being rewarded?
It was just a dream co true!
Rain didn't know what these rewards were, of course, but since they were coming from soone associated with the Goddess of Darkness, they couldn't be small.
'The day I fuck the World's Will is fast approaching.'
With his eyes fixed on a bright future, Rain pushed open the door and entered his room where he had recently woken up.
Sitting down on the bed, he continued his dialog with the system.
"That's not all of your powers, is it?"
Although Rain was already happy with the system's first ability, he had an inherent desire to want more.
[Yes. So far, you've only seen one of my abilities.]
[If you want to know about others, say 'status' in your head.]
Upon uttering that word, a panel materialized in front of him.

A wave of disgust ca over him as Rain read one of the titles.
'I'll definitely take the ti to look into it.'
Making a promise to himself, he continued to explore.
"What is ant by talent?"
[aning a person's overall talent, that is, their speed of comprehension and cultivation, is one of the most important indicators in this world]
"Isn't that considered high level? Then why was the past Rain so pathetic in the mories?"
[You are right, S level is on top of this world. But talent is related to the soul, not the body. The one he sees now belonged to you back in the past world. The past owner of the body only had a B level.]
'Then it makes sense.'
Although talents were not assigned letters in his world, Rain was always on top.
Realizing this made him show a confident smile, at least until he looked at the bloodline. Seeing the first level there and a asly 4 percent made him want to curse the lazy bastard.
"What was that bastard even doing to be so weak?!"
[It's not his fault. At least, not completely. This body has an extrely strong bloodline and it can be considered both a curse and a blessing at the sa ti. The reason is that in this world, strong bloodlines are harder to develop, but they give much more in the end.]
[But don't worry, you won't have any problems with .]
Deciding to trust the system, Rain continued to view the panel in front of him.
What caught his eye were the steal points, of which he had 1850. When he saw them, for so unknown reason, Rain felt the urge to earn them as much as possible.
"What are those points?"
He queried the system.
[These are the points you get when you steal won.]
[Points are calculated based on the target's various attributes: appearance, cultivation, talent, bloodline, connection to the Will of the World, and so other hidden factors. Your actions towards them are also taken into account.]
[Keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity. Better one high-class woman than 100 average ones.]
It didn't upset Rain. He's always preferred to hunt bigger prey.
"Then what can I buy with it?"
[Everything.]
Surprised by such a short, yet so aningful answer, Rain asked again.
"Everything?"
[Yes, literally everything. As long as you have enough points, you are not limited to anything.]
'Everything…'
As if hypnotized, Rain repeated to himself. Even for him, who had grown up with access to all kinds of benefits, the possibility seed unbelievable.
Suddenly a realization ca into his head.
Is the Goddess of Darkness on that list too?
[I can hear you.]
The system's disgruntled voice snapped Rain out of his musings.
"I know. It was a question."
[...]
When Rain received silence instead of an answer, he took it as a yes.
'Okay, there's no point in thinking about it now. Even if she's there, she's hardly worth 1850 points.'
Reaching the last line, Rain asked the system again.
"30 days? What does that an?"
[I apologize, but this is the one thing I can't tell you right now. I have no right to divulge this information, so I won't be able to answer no matter how many tis you ask.]
Rain tried to speculate what it might be, but soon gave up that idea as there were too many options.
'Then the only thing left to do is wait.'
*Ding*
With a strange sound in Rain's head, a new line of text appeared in front of him.
[Rookie assignnt now available to you.]
