Chapter 20 Silver Mine
After leaving Blood Mountain, Rain was driving his vehicle to the silver mine.
While driving his vehicle, he remembered something.

[Previous Night]
Last night when Rain was in the cave, he got an idea about something.
He also had a deep hatred for the evil organization - which was responsible for the death of his uncle and aunt and wanted to take some revenge. He also knew that those guys will come here, and they will even take the bones of the dead ones.
In Rain's eyes, they were scum that should be erased from the earth. So he wrote a greeting message to the ones who would come here. He also placed a bunch of mana grenades that he got from dead bodies.
These mana grenades will blast if they came into contact with a slight amount of mana or are smashed with strength.
"Hehe. Hope those guys like my gifts." Rain smiled mischievously.

[Current time]
Rain didn't care what would happen because of his actions. He did what he wanted. Now he was halfway through the Silver Mine.
'Silver Mine.'
In terms of games, you can say it's a field-type dungeon. As monsters, there are only golems.
In the game, some NPCs got an unknown ore. They didn't know what it was or the use of that ore. In the end, they just sold it to a nearby blacksmith.
Coincidentally, that blacksmith was a wandering dwarf. After seeing an ore at a glance, he knew what it was - ['meteor ore']. So he bought it.
With that ore, he made his best creation - a high-tier legendary sword. However, nobody used it ever.
It's because that dwarf was stingy and never sold it. Even when Protagonist asked to sell it, he just declined.
However, now Rain will take that ore and make a magnificent sword.
After some time, Rain arrived near the silver mine.
He stored his vehicle in a space ring and wore a concealment robe. It was the Rare mid-tier artifact that Rain used for outdoor training.
Because as Holmes Family's heir candidate, he quickly gets attention everywhere he goes.
'I don't know what kind of weird shit will come out. If I hang around here without concealment robe.' Rain started walking towards the hunting field.
After checking with the hunter booth, he entered the silver mine.
As the phenomenon of awakening began to spread across the world, there was a corresponding increase in criminal activity. In response, several governments banded together to create the Hunting Management Association, an organization tasked with regulating and monitoring the activities of hunters.
The association established hunter booths near various hunting locations, such as dungeons, gates, labyrinths, and ruins, which were accessible only with a valid hunting permit issued by the association.
In addition to overseeing hunting activities and issuing permits, the Hunting Management Association also provides emergency assistance to hunters.
However, even with this much authority, they were still helpless when it comes to high-ranking guilds such as the Azure Dragon Guild, which possess significant power and influence in the hunting community.
With his father's influence, Rain was able to get a counterfeit Hunter ID card. He used this ID card whenever he went to train outside. As he didn't like anyone to bother him, it was very useful for him.
Still, the Hunting Management Association's presence and authority had a significant impact on the world of hunting and adventurers. Still, it was clear - some powerful hunters operated outside of their jurisdiction.
Rain wondered what role he might play in this complex and dangerous world.
As Rain traveled through the area, he overheard some adventurers discussing a matter that seemed to be related to him. This piqued his curiosity.
"Hey, did you hear about the heir of the Holmes Family?" A middle-aged man with a receding hairline and thick-rimmed glasses asked.
He had a small potbelly and wore a button-up shirt that looked several sizes too small for him.
His pants were pulled up too high, revealing white socks that reached his calves.
"Oh, Rain Holmes, right?" A young woman with long blonde hair, heavily made-up eyes, and bright pink lipstick responded.
She wore a tight, low-cut top that exposed her cleavage, and a short skirt that barely covered her thighs.
Her high heels were so tall that she struggled to maintain her balance.
"Yeah, apparently he got beaten by the Diamond of Rose and Kaya Holmes, haha," A young man with short, spiky hair and a leather jacket chimed in.
He had a large tattoo on his neck and several piercings on his ears and nose. He wore ripped jeans and black boots that looked like they had seen better days.
His arms were crossed, and he had a cocky grin on his face as he spoke.
"And there are also talks about engagement annulment and heir change," a Young woman with blond hair added.
"Well, maybe all people know how Rain Holmes licks Emma Rose, and Kaya is hardworking, so it's gonna happen." The middle age man commented.
The group erupted in laughter, and mocking comments directed at Rain. It was not an uncommon sight for Rain to be the subject of ridicule and scorn.
After all, it's the same. People tend to get happy about seeing someone's misery.
'Oh, this misery. Everyone wants to be my enemy.' Rain just started humming a song.
'Looks like Kaya spread some bad rumors again,' Rain guessed.
Because Rain only trained most of the time, he did not have many friends in his life either. It wasn't like he couldn't make friends. It's just Rain didn't want to.
While Kaya has a wide social network, she can spread this through her classmates - she always spreads these negative rumors.
'Calm down, Rain. Just [3 days], then my plan will work.'
Rain walked deeper into the silver mine. He didn't care about those groups of weirdos.

[In the silver mine]
Then for some time, Rain chased the golems, trying to take them down with his weapon. He fired the gun, but the bullets bounced harmlessly off the golem's metallic exterior.
It became apparent that ordinary bullets were ineffective against the golems. Rain then injected the bullets with Mana to make them more potent.
After some time, Rain reloaded the gun.
As Rain continued to hunt the silver golem, he reloaded his gun and was relieved that he had got plenty of magazines with Thunder Eagle.
It wasn't like there were infinite bullets in the gun. Rain thought he would need to buy some magazines for 'Thunder Eagle' soon.
He thanked his luck that he didn't have to wander into the market to buy magazines for the gun.
The golems in this world were like those found in RPGs.
Rain knew that if he could crush the golem's core, he would be able to defeat it.
He continued to search for the golem's weak spot, all the while dodging the creature's attacks and firing his gun.
With this hunting, Rain's mana sense and control improved.
After a long and exhausting hunt, Rain finally found the meteor ore.
