Holmes Family

Rain sat on his bed, feeling irritated after thinking about the heroines.

He decided to examine his body and see if he could find out more about his injury. He carefully probed his limbs, feeling for any signs of pain or discomfort.

As he did, he noticed that there were small bumps and bruises on his skin that he hadn't noticed before.

Curious, he used his fingers to trace the outline of one of the bumps. As he did, he felt a sharp twinge of pain.

He gasped and pulled back, realizing that he had found the source of his injury - there were hairline fractures and microscopic cracks scattered throughout his body.

"Although my injuries aren't severe, it's enough to keep me from advancing in rank for some time." He muttered. He wondered if he would be able to train with this injury.

Rain knew that these injuries weren't major, but they still needed to heal before he could make progress in his training.

He sighed and reached into his closet, pulling out a bottle of elixir that he had purchased from a local apothecary. 

'I hope, I can boost my recovery with this and start training.'

For a second, he thought it was a waste to use elixir on his injury however next moment he changed his mind.

'I shouldn't care about it, my family is quite rich.' Thinking like that, he drank the elixir.

Gulp

As the potion flowed down his throat, he felt a surge of energy coursing through his veins. Closing his eyes, he let out a deep breath, and as he did, he felt a warm sensation spreading through his body.

To his amazement, Rain watched as his injuries began to heal at an astonishing rate. Not a single scar remained on his body. With renewed strength and comfort, Rain began to exercise, feeling his muscles respond with newfound vigor.

[2 Hours Later]

During these 2 hours, Rain kept exercising non-stop.

He was drenched in sweat and out of stamina. Therefore, he was just lying on his bed at the current time.

'I got quite sweaty after doing some light exercise. Perhaps that system was right about this body's stamina. It really sucks.'

Rain felt uncomfortable with sweat on his body.

'Maybe I should take a bath and do some quick checks in my room.'

***

After a quick bath, Rain dressed up in new clothes. Although they were not expensive, they still looked great on him.

Looking at the mirror, he thought,

'Even if all stats are low, the charm stat of mine is quite high.

This body has the potential of reaching 'Grade A' in charm stat, it will be quite worthwhile. Even though I am not a fan of looks, it is not a bad thing too.

Still now is not a good time for that to become narcissistic.' Just as Rain was thinking about his looks, someone knocked on the door of Rain's room.

Knock

Knock

"Come in."

Rain answered calmly.

"Good morning, Young Master!"

Soon a young butler entered the room. His movements were fluid and graceful, indicating a certain level of training and discipline.

He bowed and greeted Rain.

When he lifted his head and saw Rain he was quite shocked.

It was because the young master who was injured a few days ago was now smiling and standing quite healthy before him.

"Young master?" Butler was confused.

The young man with an above-average face. Brown hair styled in a very sophisticated manner and black eyes, which were deep and piercing.

He looked ordinary compared to Rain. However, if he goes around the city wearing his butler's uniform, he will be sure in demand from the opposite sex.

After seeing him, Rain started thinking about him.

'Mark, My personal butler.'

In Holmes Family, every child gets their personal butler at the age of 15. Many families also follow this tradition.

Because after awakening, it is the best time to bloom their talent in their early years, and by training, at that age, they can increase their strength rapidly. 

After getting old, it might decrease.

So to increase their training time and make full use of time, they hire a butler. This personal assistant does all miscellaneous work on their behalf. 

They will also play with them and sometimes homeschool them.

For Rain, it was Mark. 

According to storyline, Mark also got harsh punishment for following Rain. Kaya fired him after becoming family head.

'He is quite trustworthy. So, this time I will make sure no harm will befall on him.' 

"Good morning, Mark." Rain returned the greeting.

"Young master, breakfast is ready. Lord and Madam are waiting for you in the dining hall." Mark stated calmly. There wasn't any shock on his face now. You can say how well-trained he was.

"Hmm." 

After going out of the room, Rain and Mark walked through a quite large hallway.

'It's my first time going out of his room after reincarnation. Even though everything is same, it really feels like I entered the game world.'

Rain looked around at the various decorations and artworks that adorned the walls, taking in the details of each piece as he passed by.

The hallway was dimly lit, but the soft glow of the lights above highlighted the intricate designs of the artwork.

While walking Rain was thinking about his family.

Holmes Family.

It's one of the richest families among humans.

Because in [Great Reshuffle], one of the 10 great heroes was a member of the Holmes Family, Aron Holmes. 

After the war, he did many things for his nation and his family. Unfortunately, he died in [The Demon War].

Still, before dying he expanded the Holmes family's influence to a large degree.

So you can say - Holmes Family has quite a huge influence on humanity and even on the whole earth. Most of thier forces are located here, in Karoon city. You can say they are overlord of the Karoon city. 

They also have many S-rankers, some SS-rankers, and the top S-Class guild, Azure Dragon.

***

After walking through the hallway, Rain and Mark arrived at the Dining hall.

Compared to the hallway, the dining hall was decorated in moderation.

The walls were painted in a soft beige color, and a few simple paintings were hanging on them.

In the center of the dining hall, there was a long dining table made of dark wood. It was set with elegant silverware, crystal glasses, and china plates.

At the left head of the table, a man was sitting on the chair.

The man was tall, and he had neatly trimmed brown hair and a chiseled jawline. The woman was a stunning beauty with long flowing red hair and emerald-green eyes.

As this was the main building, and in the main building, only the family head's family lives. So you can guess the identity of the couple. They were the parents of Rain.

"Good morning." Rain walked towards the dining table and greeted his parents.

After greeting them, he pulled a chair opposite of his mother and sat there.

"Good morning, Rain," his parents said in unison.

"So your injury got healed, huh?" Rain's father, Charles Holmes, said.

He was quite handsome and had an athletic build, standing over six feet tall with broad shoulders and a muscular frame.

His hair was neatly trimmed and styled with a classic, sophisticated look. His chiseled jawline and piercing brown eyes gave him a commanding presence.

You could say that Rain's good looks were inherited from him.

He is the current family head and also the guild master of the Azure Dragon guild. He is quite stern but also cares about his family. Likewise, he is also one of the SS rankers in the world.

"Are you okay?" Rain's mother, Carla Holmes, asked worriedly.

She was beautiful, so much so that even heroines paled in comparison.

Her hair was equally striking, with long, flowing red hair that cascaded down her back in soft waves.

Her face was angelic, with high cheekbones, a pert nose, and full lips. Her eyes were brilliant, like emerald green that sparkled with warmth and intelligence.

She wore a flowing white gown that hugged her curves in all the right places, exuding an air of effortless elegance and sophistication.

Not only that, but she was an S-ranker and also came from a quite influential family.

"Yes," Rain curtly answered her, while Charles was ignored by him. 

"You know, you should be more careful," Charles chimed in, his tone stern. 

'Although I am not close with my parents, they still care about me.

Even after my villain awakening, they still supported me. If only I had heeded their advice in the past, maybe things would be different. It seems some things will be changed from now on.'

As Rain ate his breakfast, he seemed distant, lost in his own thoughts. Charles and Carla exchanged a concerned glance, sensing his troubled state.

"Is everything alright, Rain?" Carla asked gently, reaching out to touch his hand.

Rain looked up, meeting her gaze. "I'm fine, Mom. Just thinking about some things."

Charles nodded, his expression thoughtful. "By the way, Rain, we wanted to let you know that Kaya is under house arrest."

Rain's expression darkened slightly at the mention of Kaya. He didn't show any interest in her situation, simply nodding in acknowledgment.

After finishing his breakfast, Rain stood up abruptly. "I should get going. I have some things to take care of."

As Rain left the dining hall, Carla turned to Charles, her expression worried. "Do you think he's alright? He seems... distant."
