Free Points received from levelling up, he already distributed them yesterday just after level up. While saved the FP gained from Achievement Rewards.

The skill *Mana Bolt* also levelled up yesterday in the fight with 9th wave monsters. Overall skill effects increased by 50%. Mana Consumption reduced by 5%.

Skills can be raised up to level 10, which co-relates to grades from E to Entity. They are also ranked accordingly. Skills given initially to all five basic classes in the beginning belong to E grade.

When skill increases in level from level 1 to 5 overall skill effects increases by 50%, while resource consumption reduces by 5%. When skill levels up from 5 to 8 overall skill effects increases by 100%, while resource consumption reduces by 10%.

When levelling up from 8 to 10, skill overall effects increases by 200% and resource consumption reduces by 20%.

This setting is only valid for levelling. If a player upgrades the skill grade then the skill's level resets at level 1.

Suppose a mage player raised the level of the skill *Mana Bolt* to level 7, through practice and skill points. *Mana Bolt* is a grade E skill given initially to mages first upon confirming the mage class along with *Mana Shield*. The said mage player upgraded its grade to D. Then, along with the benefit coming from upgrading the skill to D grade, the skill level resets back to level 1.

But the conditions for upgrading a skill is very strenuous, it is basically cracking open a walnut with just bare fingers. But, there are specific skills which comes with their upgrade condition mentioned in their description. They are called Growth Skills.

Sunny took a detour through the blacksmith shop upon noticing the durability drop in his equipment. He had his equipment durability restored to full value at the relevant cloth armor blacksmith.

Equipment always comes in the range of 5. That means before level 5, players had to do with the beginner equipment. The monsters below level 5 also won't drop any piece of equipment.

The blacksmith shop sells level 0 equipment but, the beginner set given by system is best below level 5 for every class.

After half an hour, Sunny reached the deepest part of the forest. Here, all monsters are level 4 and occasional level 5. Common mobs are also of D-grade.

Sunny spent 7 hours in the deepest part of the forest to fill the remaining 78% to level up to level 5.

Whenever he encountered level-5-D and C monsters he would take a detour around those. He is more than capable of dealing with them. But, it takes more time and effort than their level 4 counterpart. And since the level difference is also 1 i.e. less than 2, bonus exp effect doesn't take place.

Then, he spent 4 hours farming level 5 monsters for level 5 equipment.

He gained total of 28 equipment. 6 mage, 8 fighter, 4 rogue, 7 ranger and 3 magic soldier type equipment were among them.

He only cared about mage equipment now so he didn't even glance at the other class equipment description. For mage type, there were 2 robes, 2 pants, 1 shoes and a wand.

Sunny equipped [Boar Tusk Wand], [Boar Skin Shoes], [Rabbit Fur Pants]-D and [Wolf Pelt Robe]-D.

As for the remaining equipment, Sunny returned to village and on the way contacted Sword Genius to sell them all.

He sold all the 24 equipment for 100 silvers to Xuan Bing. Rest were busy levelling up and the rogue took a quick trip for the equipment. If he set up a stall at the market he would have gotten more than that amount but, he didn't want to bother himself more than necessary.

Next day, Sunny crossed the forest and entered the sparse mountain range behind the forest. It occupies the rest of the village dimension.

Here, the density of monsters decreases, as stronger monster occupies more territories.

Sunny spent 2 days after reaching level 5 in the mountain range. He completed the rest of the E-grade quest.

In these 2 days, he didn't returned to the village before logging out. He choose some naturally hidden caves and cleared the monsters then logged out there.

When players log in, they get 3 seconds invulnerability. That's enough time for Sunny to react, if there are any monsters at that time in the cave.

But, this 3 seconds invulnerability is given only in village dimension.

On the 4th day of the release of VWPS, at 11:47 Pm, a game wide announcement rang out.

"Congratulations! Player Chaos 273 is first to reach level 10."

"Congratulations! Player Chaos 273 is first to reach level 10."

"Congratulations! Player Chaos 273 is first to reach level 10."

Sunny reached level 10 some 14 hrs earlier than the first player to reach level 10 his previous life.

After achieving a part of his short-term goal, Sunny choose to return and log out at the village. To search the exit of the village dimension he would have to make some preparation first.

Leaving aside the FP he got from the achievement, he distributed the rest as per usual.

His skill levels also increased. *Mana Bolt* is now at level-4, while *Mana Shield* is at level-3.

After reaching level 10, he also got to choose a skill from 3 choice given by Aurora.

*Mana Arrows*-1

Shoots arrows condensed from mana, that deals additional 150% magic attack damage to the target. If vital part is hit, critical damage is +250% of magic attack.

*Mana Chain*-1

A chain condensed from mana coils around the target and deals +75% magic attack damage. 10% chance of binding and preventing the target from moving for 2 sec. Can be broken if target is higher levelled than the caster.

*Meditation*-1

Increase the rate of mana recovery by 20%. Can only be used outside the battle.

Sunny choose *Mana Chain*, as the skill will be needed soon.

On the way to village, Sunny contacted Sword Genius again and asked if she needed some level 5 equipment. Since he himself hadn't fought a level 10 monster yet, he is still using the equipment from earlier. Just changed the gloves with better ones.

-[Double Headed Snake Gloves]-E

Level 5

Mana +20

Durability 25/25

A player can send game items to their friends as gifts but, money transactions and trade can only be done face-to-face.

Sword Genius asked Sunny to wait for 15 min. as they will also reach level 10 shortly.

After 15 min. Sword Genius's party arrived in the village and meet up Sunny in a restaurant in the market.

Sunny sold a total of 57 equipment this time for 250 Silver Coins. After the transaction he was about to leave when SG stopped him and dismissed her party members for a private talk.

Sword Genius said, "Do you know about Mysterious Fire Sword?"

Sunny nodded and she continued, "We three are going to build a official guild in VWPS. I want you to join us. For now, I can promise-"

Sunny cut her off by raising in hand before she put forward her offer. "Whatever you want to offer me now, I won't accept. Before getting an advance class, I am not gonna join any guild and if I haven't joined any after that, you can try then. Till then you will also get a good estimation of my capabilities. I am sorry."

After saying his piece Sunny stood up, exited the restaurant and logged off.

Sword Genius watched him leave with a stunned look. 'He didn't even bother to hear the offer. He really pisses me off.' She thought.

'At least converse properly, you sh*thead. I won't eat you if stayed any longer.'

On the other hand, Sunny didn't reject her outright as he knows how much successful the guild Mysterious Fire Sword gets in the future. By joining them, with the help of his future knowledge, Mysterious Fire Sword can soar even greater heights.

Any guild he join can soar higher in the rankings, but being in a guild with 3 great beauties is tempting for Sunny too. Just that before he sets his future path on a proper road, Sunny doesn't want to entangle himself with guilds yet.
