《I got an SSS-Grade unique skill》Chapter 39: Appearance of AAA-grade (1)

"Thousand Sword Strike!", said Greed as soon as he appeared
[ 1,000,000 mana used ]
At last, a light starts to form on Greed's broadsword, shrouding the wholeness of it.
The light then expands as Greed brandished his sword, encompassing the entirety of Feral Ogre's hunting ground.
The arrows that was approaching Adam instantly vanished as it met the light. Even the three death buffed arrows had no effect at all, and was extinguished as lights wrapped them.
Similarly, the chosen that was running from fear of being hit by the arrows earlier, was also annihilated shortly by the light.
The Feral Ogre's that were roaming the hunting ground met their death as they had nowhere to run and was soon enveloped by the light too.
Even the chosen on the entrance of the hunting ground that was left stunned watching the lights nearing them, was greeted by death similarly.
Moreover, Samantha and three members of Cuenca Guild was halted on their intense fight as a dazzling light surrounded them abruptly, being unable to look out for the source of light at all.
Everything on the hunting ground died helplessly at the appearance of the dazzling light, be it of living or non-living, no entity was left untouched.
The habitat turned bald as it lost its broad trees and became silent as human and monster's presence abandoned it.
Minutes later, the lights started receding, leaving only a silent and bald habitat.
Amidst this, on the center of the hunting ground, a bulky man and a young boy can be seen breathing heavily, a sign of being exhausted.
They are no other than Greed and Adam.
As Adam saw the now plain habitat, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief and dropped on his knee shortly, as he loses his strength.
Levitating beside him was a 250,000 mana-powered shield while in front of him was a bulky man, named Greed, who didn't seem exhausted at all as he maintained his expressionless face.

A while later, Greed took a step closer towards Adam. The latter then felt adoration as he could visualize Greed being shrouded with holiness, a man full of majesty.
The time seemed to turned slower as Adam looked at Greed amazed.
Every step that Greed took caused Adam to gulped as it was breathtaking.
'Gulp'
Soon, he was pulled out of his admiration when suddenly, Greed spoke.
"Master, ... you alright?", said Greed still wearing an expressionless face.
"Master! Master!", he repeated as he saw Adam still submerged on his fascination
Adam was then pulled out of his amazement, shake his head for a while, recollected himself, then asked...
"that light, that skill, that was yours right?", Adam asked while looking at Greed intimately as he couldn't still believe that such power was possessed by Greed, his summoning.
"Yes master, light, skill, thousand sword strike, mine", said Greed abbreviately
Adam then just nodded his head while revealing a broad smile, which was then halted as announcements from the system rang...
[ You have killed a level 54 chosen ]
[ 5,400 exp obtained ]
[ You have killed a level 184 chosen ]
[ 18,400 exp obtained ]

...
...
'T----this!'
Adam was speechless at the consecutive announcement that kept on ringing.

Earlier, when the skill 'Thousand Sword Strike' was activated, its power killed everything on its path, killing every chosen and monsters on his surrounding.
Hence, a successive message of exp gained from monsters and chosen kept on ringing, which nearly reach thousands as there were almost hundreds of chosen within the area, and hundreds of Feral Ogre too.
He had leveled up 12 times too and finally reached level 132.
Adam had no time to look out for each of the messages of chosen and Feral Ogre's killed as it were too many.
Therefore, he just focused his gaze on the item obtained, which dropped from chosen that he killed.
Once a chosen died, there was a 10% of dropping an item which was currently equipped.
And Adam having killed hundreds of chosen, hardly 30 unfortunate chosen dropped an item, which kept on appearing before Adam.
'Thud'
'Thud'
'Thud'
.....
...
A stockpile of items were now in front of Adam, hence, he began checking them one by one.
[ Mask of Emre (A-grade)
Description: A mask that was once worn by Emre, a god having no face, to hide his defectiveness.
Effect:
: +10,000 defense
: once worn, the chosen could change his complexion as he willed. The changed would be undetectable only to A-grade chosen and below. ]
[ Storage Ring (B-grade)
Description: A ring with the spatial property.
Effects:
: contains a 1,000 square meters space inside ]
[ Exp Acquisition Booster (E-grade)
Description: A miscellaneous item that can boost the exp acquisition rate for a limited time.
Effects:
: boost exp acquisition rate by 2% for 1 day ]
[ Standard Longsword (D-grade)
Description: A longsword dropped by Standard Red Swordsmen Clan.
Effects:
Attack power: +200
Durability: 10,000/10,000 ]
...
....
There are over 30 items that has dropped. Among them, only 3 items caught Adam's attention specifically, Mask of Emre (A-grade), Storage Ring (B-grade) and the miscellaneous item, Exp Acquisition Booster (E-grade).
'I wonder who dropped this A-grade item, Mask of Emre?', Adam thought as he felt a little bit pity towards the certain chosen as an A-grade item was valuable and scarce.
Though he pitied that chosen, of course he wouldn't be that humane to return the item especially after seeing the title's effect.
'Now, I can alter my temperament and changed to a completely different person', he thought
Likewise, he also gained a B-rating storage ring with 1,000 square meter space inside.
As for the remaining item, Adam planned to sell them as they lacked in comparison to the previous item and mostly D-E-rank, which he didn't have any use for anyway.
While contemplating, an abrupt announcement rang again...
[ You have killed a level 150 Feral Ogre ]
[ Quest Progress: 207 / 50 ]
[ You have completed the E-rating quest 'Kill a normal-grade level monster, Feral Ogre ]
[ Calculating the Chosen's performance.... ]
[ An AAA rating is given based on Chosen's performance ]
'Ding'
[ Reward will now be given... ]
[ You have received +5 remaining attribute points ]
[ You have received 10,000 pesos ]
[ An additional reward will be given based on your rating... ]
'Ding!'
[ You have received an AAA-grade miscellaneous item 'Time Conqueror' ]
'N--no!'
Adam instantly began sweating as soon as the message appeared.
It was not because of excitement due to reward given.
Likewise, it was not because of the +5 remaining attribute points...
But rather, the AAA-grade rating...
'It's too high!', Adam thought nervously
'Tut', echoed on the hunting ground as Adam's sweats fell on the ground...
'Tut'
'Tut'
Adam was not happy at all that he received an AAA-grade rating, in fact, he was nervous...
As for the reason?
Its mainly because of his anticipated outcome...
'This message... I----it won't a--appear to Samantha too right?', Adam thought anxiously

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
