Villain Is on Vacation



After walking for a while, Rain finally reached the river's edge.

His body was slightly drenched in sweat, and he was eager to cool off in the refreshing water.

As he approached the cliff overlooking the river, he noticed a few people swimming downstream. 

Rain quickly scanned the area to ensure that he was alone before proceeding to undress.

He then retrieved his swimsuit and underwater goggles from his backpack and carefully put them on.

Once he was fully prepared, he took a deep breath and leaped off the cliff, plunging into the cool water below.

'It's so thrilling.' Rain thought inwardly. 

As he descended into the water, Rain felt a familiar rush of excitement and adrenaline that he always experienced when he jumped into the river.

Rain began to explore the underwater world that lay before him.

As he swam through the vibrant and diverse aquatic landscape, Rain marveled at the various sea creatures that swam alongside him.

Schools of colorful fish darted around him, and exotic coral formations lined the riverbed.

Every time he explored underwater, he discovered new and exciting features of the submerged world.

As Rain swam in the river, he was surrounded by a myriad of creatures that he had never seen before.

Schools of colorful fish swam past him, their scales shimmering in the sunlight.

However, he decided not to provoke them as he would be in trouble if they had any powerful backers.

He saw crabs scuttling along the riverbed and spotted several small turtles perched on rocks, basking in the warm sun.

Deeper down, he spotted a group of eels peeking out of a crevice in the rocks, their heads swaying in the current.

He also saw starfish clinging to the sides of large boulders and watched as a group of sea urchins gently swayed in the water.

It was a magical and mesmerizing world that Rain had never experienced before.

The water grew murky as Rain swam further downstream.

He hesitated, then pushed himself to explore deeper. "Come on, Rain, you can do this," he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared beneath him.

He looked down to see a giant catfish swimming past him. "Whoa, that's a big one," he said in awe, marveling at the sheer size and power of the creature.

As he continued to explore the underwater world, Rain encountered other fascinating fish such as carp, pike, and trout.

"Wow, their colors are so vibrant," he said to himself, admiring their beauty and grace.

He saw several crayfish scurrying along the riverbed and was surprised to see a large freshwater clam nestled in the sand.

"I never knew there were clams in this river," he thought to himself, feeling a sense of wonder at the diversity of life in the water.

At one point, he came across a small waterfall that led into a pool of crystal-clear water. "This is incredible," he said out loud, unable to contain his excitement.

He dove down and saw several baby turtles swimming in the shallow water. "Look at them go," he said with a smile, watching them curiously as they paddled around him.

Rain felt like he was in a completely different world as he swam in the river.

"I can't believe I've been missing out on this my whole life," he thought, feeling grateful for the opportunity to explore this new environment.

Filled with excitement, he set out to find anything useful that he could bring back to the surface. "I wonder what other treasures are hidden down here," he said to himself.

Rain had been exploring the river for some time when he came across some aquatic plants that had transformed into herbs due to the world's changes.

As he examined the plants more closely, he noticed that they had medicinal properties and could be valuable for him in the future.

He carefully collected the herbs and stored them in his space ring.

As he continued to explore the river, he caught sight of something glittering in the distance.

Curiosity piqued, Rain swam towards the object, eager to see what it was.

As he drew closer, he was surprised to find a gleaming pearl the size of a fist.

The pearl was so beautiful that it seemed to shimmer in the sunlight.

Rain's heart raced as he caught sight of the unexpected object.

"Eh? No! That can't be here… Why is this thing here?" he thought, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Countless questions raced through his mind. What was that thing doing there? How did it get there? 

"This is surely troublesome." He frowned as he looked at pearl from close distance. 

There was something strange and otherworldly about it.

He could feel an energy emanating from it that made him feel uneasy. "This is not just any pearl," he thought to himself. 

"This thing is dangerous." He clicked his tongue. 

Feeling a sense of danger, Rain knew he had to get out of there as quickly as possible. "I need to get out of here. It's not safe," he thought urgently.

Without bothering to change out of his swimsuit, he raced towards home, dodging and destroying anything that came in his way.

He clutched the sword tightly in his hand, slashing everything in his way. 

"Is enjoying life peacefully that hard?" He sighed as he ran.

[After a few moments] 

Rain rushed into his house, panting heavily, and slammed the door shut behind him.

His heart was racing, and he felt as though he had just run a marathon.

Still, he didn't stop and went to his room. 

His eyes darted around the room, checking that everything was as he had left it.

The familiar surroundings brought some calmness to him. 

He staggered over to his bed, collapsing onto it, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath.

"Whoa, that was too close," he muttered to himself. "I can't believe I almost got caught into this trouble. This Mermaid's Pearl is nothing but trouble."
