Chapter 16: 16. SSS Grade Achievement.

After about 30 min. Sunny reached a special area in the sparse mountain range.

The average peak is about the height of three thousand meters in the sparse mountainous region. Monsters generally stays within the sparse forest, caves and ravines present.

At the deeper part of the sparse mountain region, there is a small group of six mountains present in a hexagonal shape. The height of these six mountains was also short compared to others, around two thousand and five hundred meters.

The distance between them is not much different from other mountains in the region. If someone doesn't know about it before hand, they won't be able tell them apart from the other mountains.

At the center of the hexagonal mountains, there were six slightly taller and older looking trees in the same hexagonal shape. Each tree is 30 meters distant from the other.

On the interior side of the hexagon, each tree trunk had a strange mark facing the center of the hexagon. The interior of the hexagon is a small clearing devoid of grass or forest flora.

At the moment, Sunny was examining the mark present on the six trees carefully. After checking them thoroughly, Sunny nodded with a pleased and satisfied look in his face.

'I found the right place. This place is indeed very inconspicuous. If I wasn't actively looking for it, I wouldn't even notice this place standing right here. Because of that, my levelling also slowed down by five to six hours.

'Although the six trees can clearly identified to present in a hexagonal shape from inside, because of the presence of other trees nearby it is much more difficult to do so from the outside.

'Now, about the incomplete six supreme character on the trees. I would have to complete them, then the path to main Pocket Dimension will be opened.'

In his previous life, Explorer Jiang chanced upon this place on the 6th day at 7:00 Pm, GMT +8. He was crossing the region from this place when he entered the clearing and noticed the peculiar position of the 6 trees and the markings on them.

After recording the markings, he searched the surroundings for more clue. Then only did he notice the position of the mountain was also hexagonal and the height difference. After marking the position in his map, he left for the village to find out more information of the markings.

The rest of his 6th day and full length of the 7th day were spent trying to get any information of the markings from all around the village.

When asked the Village Head, he only said they are something important but he can't seem to remember them properly. He advised to ask the librarian. The librarian also didn't inform about him directly about them and only indifferently pointed to 3 oldest shelves and said, "Search the books among there."

He took about 5 hrs. to find the oldest book which contain the perfect six supreme characters. He found other books describing the six supreme characters (SSC), but because they were imperfect the markings didn't match with them properly, which caused him to look among other books.

Then, he practiced the SSC for some time and visited the six trees again. He used a dagger to carve on the tree and completed the marking into SSC. But, after completing he received a prompt from the Aurora stating that the accuracy didn't reach the requirements.

The markings glowed with soft blue light and reverted back to original incomplete markings. He then back to village, bought some writing materials from a stationary NPC shop and came back to the special place again.

At 3:00 Pm GMT +8, on the 8th day only did he reached the required 75% accuracy.

Anyway, after confirming that he reached the right place Sunny took a few deep breaths and casted the skill *Mana Chain*.

After he reached level 10, his Spirit Attribute reached 30 and along with it mana regeneration also increased to 30/sec.

The five main attributes were at; Str: 15 / Agi: 26 / Vit: 15 / End: 15 / Int: 59+5. He still didn't use FP from the achievement reward. The total Mana he had was 1125+50+20.

While the cost of the skill *Mana Chain* is 30/s.

From the moment Sunny exited the village region, he has been casting *Mana Skill* on every inanimate object he came across. Monsters encountered on the way were also only dealt with *Mana Chain*.

Since they were lower level than him he didn't get much exp, but *Mana Chain* did level up one time.

Since *Mana Chain* is only an E grade skill and every level up only required 1 Skill Point, Sunny put 4 SPs and *Mana Chain* and skill instantly reached level 6, which gave along with normal benefits of leveling up, an additional effect was added in the skill description.

*Mana Chain*-E-6

A chain condensed from man... Can be broken if target is higher levelled than the caster. (Effect also depends on the strength of the target.)

⁕Caster can control the condensed mana chain. Mana consumption increases accordingly.

For this additional effect Sunny choose this skill.

A player by the username 'Magic is life: Kai' had quite liked the crowd control aspect of the skill *Mana Chain*. He spend significant effort to increase it's level. After level 6 the skill revealed the additional effect, which allowed the user to freely control the condensed chain. He explored the further and after it reached level 10, he got an opportunity to increase it's grade to B and skill became *Advance Mana Shaping*.

Sunny planed to do the same. But for now rudimentary control over the chain condensed from mana would do.

Sunny approached a tree with the marking corresponding to Fighter Entity. He casted *Mana Chain* and controlled the chain to be thin and wrapped around the wand as a layer.

He then used the Wand as a brush to complete the marking into perfect supreme character representing the Fighter Entity. The Mana consumption for level 6 *Mana Chain* is usually 29.32/s, but the controlling aspect increased the mana consumption to 51.31/s.

It took him about 27 seconds to complete the fighter supreme character. After that he had little over 500 Mana left. Due to rapid mana consumption he was also feeling slightly uncomfortable.

He sat beside the tree and rested for some time before going to the mage supreme marking tree. A little over 40 min. passed and Sunny just finished perfecting the Truth entity character.

Right after he finished, the six perfected markings now SSC at 100% accuracy lit up with soft blue light. Seeing this, Sunny retreated outside the hexagon area of the six trees.

The soft blue glow became brighter by second. A few moment later, each of the six character emitted a beam of light, which converged at the center point of the hexagon.

A swirling portal, oval in shape and emitting blue light formed at the center of the hexagon formed by the six trees. The portal was 5 meters in height and 4 meters in width. A 5-person team can easily enter it with half a hand distance between them.

After the formation of the portal, the perfected supreme characters on the six trees reverted back to their original incomplete marking state.

{15':00''}; {14':59''}; {14':58''}

A timer appeared on top of the portal, indicating that it will close after 15 minutes. The entire process didn't cause much commotion. A level 10 Rogue wouldn't even be sense the event that happened if they were thousand meters away from the hexagonally present trees.

On the other hand, Just as the portal formed Sunny received 2 notification from Aurora one after another.

"Congratulations! You are the first player to use the six supreme character with 100% accuracy. This accomplishment even alerted and surprised the 6 Entities.

Achievement: First Otherworlder to Surprise the 6 Entities.

Grade: SSS

Reward: 10* Death Penalty Negation Token (Character Bound), 1* Upgrade Token-SSS, 10* Exp boost Token-S"

"Congratulations for completing a SSS grade Achievement! A Server wide announcement will be made. Please select a mode for announcement:

1. Your name will be known.

2. Anonymous."

Sunny contemplated for a moment before choosing the 2nd option. If he exposed his name in this announcement he won't be able to explain how to he completed it. Then, his plan to earn money through post will be wasted and he will also be pestered endlessly for the SSS achievement.

At the moment, following the sound of charming bell sound Aurora made the announcement.

"Player ***** has completed a SSS grade Achievement: First Otherworlder to Surprise the 6 Entities."

Sunny didn't paid much attention to the announcement and walked toward the portal to the main Pocket Dimension. The timer on was showing that only 13 min and 27 sec remaining. After that, the portal will disappear.

Sunny decided to wait for ten minutes before crossing the portal. Because, the moment he crossed the portal, Aurora will announce it and this time without asking for his permission, since it is only a normal event.

At that time, even if players assume him to be the anonymous player he can brush it off as a coincidence.
