After teasing Lily, Rain felt quite refreshed.
"Why does it feel fun to bully the heroine? Is it because I used to be a villain or am I a natural sadist?" Rain wondered.
"I guess I'll have to think about it later," Rain thought.
He opened his ssages and read the third one.
As he read the ssage, a smile appeared on his face.
"Looks like it's ti for an appointnt."
He walked to the VR simulation capsule and settled in, carefully connecting the electrodes to his head and making sure they were in the right position.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, ready to imrse himself in the VR simulation capsule.
As he lay down inside the capsule and put on the special headset, he felt a sense of anticipation building inside him.

[The Twilight City, Mythosia]
As usual, the streets of Twilight City were bustling with people, each wearing different types of fantasy clothes. If it weren't for the potential side effects of being in virtual reality for too long, people might stay here for a lifeti.
Twilight City lived up to its na with beautiful lights and nurous facilities. Even though it was considered a beginner city, it was still worth exploring.
However, you can see a man clad in a black assassin suit walking down the street.
Of course, this edge lord is Rain.
Or you can say [Thanatos].
Rain walked through the busy streets of Twilight City, enjoying the sights and sounds around him.
Although so people murmured from ti to ti while pointing fingers at him, he didn't seem to bother.
As he walked he saw a cafe.
He decided to head to a popular café in the city, called "Moonlight Café".
The café was known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious coffee, which was brewed using only the finest beans.
As Rain entered the café, he was greeted by the warm scent of freshly brewed coffee and the soft sound of gentle music playing in the background.
The walls of the café were adorned with paintings and pictures, giving it a holy feel.
The tables were made of dark wood and were surrounded by comfortable chairs, inviting custors to sit and relax.
As Rain made his way through the bustling café, he noticed a private room tucked away in a corner.
The door to the room was slightly ajar, and he could hear the soft sound of soone's voice with help of his skill.
Curious, Rain pushed the door open and peeked inside. He saw a lady sitting at a small table, lost in thought.
She had a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of her, which she absently stirred with a spoon.
The lady had long, flowing hair and was dressed in a simple yet elegant dress.
Her eyes were a deep shade of green, and as she looked up at Rain, he could see nothing in those eyes. They looked like a void. Her lower face was covered with a veil.
"Excuse ," Rain said, stepping into the room. "I didn't an to interrupt, but I couldn't help but notice that you looked like you could use so company."
The lady looked up at him, and a small smile graced her lips. "Thank you," she said. "I could use a listening ear."
Rain closed the door behind him as he entered the private room.
He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the woman, the sound of the chair scraping on the floor filling the otherwise quiet room.
As soon as he sat down, the atmosphere changed, becoming tenser and charged with energy.
The woman then took out a small device from her pocket, revealing a complex network of intricate, glowing stones that seed to pulse with a strange, otherworldly power.
"Oh, a high-quality barrier," Rain said, surprised. He was taken aback by the sight, surprised by the high-quality barrier the device seed to generate.
"It might be very expensive," he mumbled to himself, his voice barely audible over the low hum of the device.
As people learned more about mana, they started crafting artifacts with knowledge gained from other races.
These artifacts ca in many types and helped to lift living standards trendously.
However, for ignorant people, there were only two types of artifacts: those with mana stones and those without.
While making any type of artifact was difficult, making one with a mana stone embedded in it was especially challenging. You needed to be highly proficient in crafting skills.
"Let's cut the chat, Thanatos," she said, her voice flat and devoid of emotion. Rain wasn't taken aback by the sudden change in her deanor, he remained unfazed.
"Oh, why so cold? Didn't you call for this appointnt, or rather, 'date'?" Rain said, smirking.
"Oh my, you really think this is a date?" the woman said, releasing the pressure. However, Rain was unfazed.
"Nah, I'm just a little peasant compared to you, forr Dragon Princess Veronica," Rain said nonchalantly. As soon as the words fell from his mouth, Veronica increased the pressure.
Despite the woman's obvious displeasure, Rain remained calm and collected, unafraid of her power or her anger.
"Oh, looks like I ssed up sothing. Maybe I should have been more tactful,"
He spoke to her with a casual, almost careless attitude, his eyes betraying no hint of fear or apprehension.
Veronica could sense his confidence and wondered what he knew about her.
"Forr Dragon Princess, Veronica," he said playfully, his lips curling into a slight grin.
Veronica responded with a charming voice, trying to hide her curiosity, "Looks like you know about . The question is, how much do you know?"
"All of it," Rain winked. "From the history of your world and how it was destroyed. I know all of it." His tone was playful, but Veronica could sense a hint of sothing else underneath, sothing more serious.
As Rain spoke, Veronica's mind wandered to the destruction of her ho world, Azura.
She could feel a lump forming in her throat as she recalled the pain and devastation of that day.
"The earth wasn't the first place to get attacked by the monsters. Many worlds fell to ruin before it, including Azura, the world where you ca from," Rain continued.
Veronica couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness as Rain ntioned her destroyed the world.
She knew that her people and culture were forever lost, and it was painful to rember.
"Should I repeat the story of how your world was destroyed?" Rain asked, sensing her sadness.
Veronica tried to keep her composure as she replied, "It's okay, I don't want to rember it." Her voice was grim, and Rain could sense the pain and sorrow behind her words.
"Oh, then can you please tell your friend to sit on the empty seat rather than listening to our conversation?" Rain said in a cold tone, his expression suddenly changing.
"Oh my," Veronica exclaid. "Casper, co out. Even low rankers can detect you now. Hehe." She chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.
At that mont, Casper erged from the shadows, still wearing his black coat.
"Boy, you are quite sharp," he comnted as he sat beside Veronica, trying to ease the tension.
"Thanks for the praise," Rain smiled. "But can you tell why you wanted to et ?" He asked, puzzled.
"Ara, don't pretend before us. Sending those scrolls to my mansion and that arrogant ssage. It was surely your work," Veronica said as she smiled, trying to playfully tease him.
"Hehe. Thanks for the complints," Rain chuckled, his tone lightening.
"You know how surprised I was when I saw those scrolls and ssages?" Veronica asked, her curiosity piqued.

Few weeks ago, as usual, Veronica was doing her work in the headmaster's office. It had a peaceful atmosphere.
No one ever ca to bother her.
However, just then her smartwatch rang.
It was an urgent ssage.
She wondered what it would be. After all, no one ever contacts her.
As she tapped her smartwatch, a hologram appeared in the air before her.

As Veronica read this, she felt quite weird.
The academy was very lively because of Kevin and the Blood Supremacy Club.
"Looks fishy~ fishy~," she humd.
But she didn't have any choice rather than answering the summon.
That's why she left the academy early morning to attend the eting.
However, before departing, she gave Alex the authority and work.
Even though Alex grumbled while accepting the work. Before Veronica, he couldn't do anything.
Soon few days passed.
