8- Mystery System
[You have an achievement {First Kill} You have received 1 Achievement Point]
[You have an achievement {Lumberjack} You have received 1 Achievement Points]
The system kept ringing on Mark's ears as he finished cutting the tree, but he ignored the others and focused on the unique achievement.
[You have an unique achievement! {Who said tree's cant kill?}, you have received a title {Tree Warrior}]
[Tree Warrior]
[Rank: Silver]
[Rate of collecting wood resources has been doubled and stats increases by one with the number of trees 10 meters around you]
[Do you wish to accept the title?(Y/N)]
"Of course!" Mark excitedly accepted the reward.
[Game Announcement: Congratulations to Player Nevermore for Achieving the first unique Achievement in the Alter Online. Extra Reward- +20 Achievement points, 10 Alter Coins]
[Server Announcement: Server 12 has opened its World Ranking]
An announcement rang in every players ears in the whole Alter Online, this caused an uproar.
Only a few minutes has passed since Alter Online started and someone already got a unique Achievement!
Every player immediately checked the rankings.
[Rankings]
1. Nevermore- 24 Achievement Points.
2. Cyberpunk- 8 Achievement Points
3. Sweet Candice- 8 Achievement Points
...
Unlike any other game where rankings are based on levels or power, Alter Online uses the Achievement points, it was usually based on how the player progressed in the game.
For example, Mark who crafter the flint axe, it gave him 2 Achievement Points.
It was categorized as Development Achievement, there is different categories such as the Battle Achievement, Explorer Achievement, Technology Achievement, and more, which could be achieved by all players.
One of the most rarest achievement in the game was the Unique Achievement since it could only be achieved once, and only one player in the whole game could achieve it.
It could be said that Mark getting that achievement was pure luck, there is no guide about the other achievements, it could be said they were a secret and only by experimenting and maybe accidentally doing it is the only way to achieve them.
Mark was of course, happy that he receive a unique achievement, "Is this what they call the beginners luck?" Mark said with a smug face.
His chat exploded and started congratulating him.
"Now, now, lets continue, we have to built a small shelter before night time or else we will be hunted by monsters" Chris said.
"Okay" Mark nodded and went towards the tree that fell earlier, he tapped it a few times then the tree exploded and turned into small blocks of wood.
Mark picked it all, then gave the half to Chris, "You make the house, I will go mine some stones or coals if I'm lucky" Mark said.
"Where should I build?" Chris asked.
"I dont know its your call, if you want you can also make a tree house since it will be more safer, also I will take more trees down while on my way, just chat me when you need something" Mark said.
"Okay, I'm going to make a tree house" Chris nodded, then they both went on their own work.
Before Mark left, he crafted 2 items.
[Crafting Table]
[Used to craft more advanced tools]
[Wooden Pick-axe]
[Durability: 50/50]
[Damage: 1~3]
[Used to mine stones and some ores]
Mark also received two achievements for it and received 2 achievement points.
Mark then looked at his surroundings and found a mountain, he then looked at the sun, and calculated the time.
"5 hours before night time, I guess that is enough time" Mark said then also checked his status.

[Title: Tree Warrior]
Alter Online was resembled close to reality, and so it added the hunger and thirst bar, when a player gets hungry, he will lose energy at a faster rate, when a player is thirsty, his movement will become sluggish, players needed to drink and eat.
Players will lose a hunger and thirst point when they run too much or always deplete their energy, but thirst point gets depleted faster.
When his energy is depleted, he will start walking and also panting, but players could regain their energy by resting just like in real life.
Also for the player stats, players starts with the same attribute points in the beginning which is 1 on every attribute, they will receive an stat points when they level up, then use these stat points to improve their attributes.
"As long as I conserve my energy properly, I wont lose thirst and hunger point that much" Mark said.
He then turned towards the mountain and started running.
Running depletes 2 energy every 5 seconds, and Mark ran towards the mountain, when he saw his energy dropped to 80, he stopped running and started casually walking.
Walking depletes 1 energy every 20 seconds and Mark energy gets refilled by 1 point every 5 seconds.
That meant he will get 3 energy points every 20 seconds, when Mark's energy gets his energy fully refilled, he will run once again.
It didnt take long for Mark to reach the mountain and started looking around, he needed to find a small cave or a hole.
In that way, his chance of finding more resources are higher, he also needed to take the wooden pick-axe durability in consideration.
Mark searched around for a few minutes but wasnt able to find any caves on the mountain, he then decided to leave the mountain and go to the nearby mountain which is only a few second walk.
Mark continued searching around while also chatting with his viewers which now have risen to 800,000.
Not even an hour has passed since Mark started streaming but he already have tons of viewers, it could be said that the popularity of Alter Online was not small.
The reason why it has not broken to 1 million was because of the channel viewer limitation, though the system messaged him that it was being fixed.
Mark didnt know why the system that was talking about livestream and the game system seemed different from each other, but he didnt give much thought about it, maybe it was exclusive for streamers? Mark doesnt know, and he was also not interested to know.
As long as he earns money from playing everything is fine, speaking of money, Mark ha received 30 thousand gifts from the viewers.
Mark was happy that he was earning money, Chris didnt lie, Mark could really earn money playing games.
Anyway, Mark reached the second mountain and also searched around.
"Hmm, there is s hole here but its very dark inside" Mark commented as he peeked inside the hole that he found.
It was not that big but Mark could fit inside it easily, he didnt have any light and going inside a dark place is very dangerous.
If a player died in Alter Online, they wont be able to log in for 24 hours in real life, 24 hours in real life is 2 days in the game.
that was enough for a player to get left behind, so Mark didnt go inside immediately but continued searching around, if possible, he preferred caves more than those holes.
