Aincrad: Ascendance

A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was. It took a vagarious group of craftsmen one month to survey the place; the diameter of the base floor was about 10 kilometers — large enough to fit the entirety of Setagaya-ku within. Above, there were 100 floors stacking straight upwards; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of. Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small-scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was no easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city on the upper floor, the «Teleport Gates» there and of every city on the lower floors would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels. With these conditions, the huge castle had been steadily conquered for two years. The current front line is the 74th floor. The name of the castle was «Aincrad», a world of battles with swords that continued floating and had engulfed approximately six thousand people. Otherwise known as… «Sword Art Online» -*-*--*-*-*- Updates are from monday to friday, so total of 5 chapters a week, extra chapter every 200 stones. Source of this fanfic is from the Novel, and I also added some elements from different worlds just to add some twist. I dont own the cover or any character from SAO, this is a fanfic I made for fun dont take it seriously.

⌜Chapter 67⌟

Standing at a tall mountain near the portal, Tanaka looked around the Asgard, no, actually, this is a small part of Asgard, if Tanaka remembers correctly, this place is under the territory of one of the Gods of Asgards.

There are many gods is Asgard, just not 10 or 15, there is a lot, Tanaka had made Asgard purposely big, if he can brag about it then this place is even bigger than many countries combined, and he also added a code to it that Asgard will continue to expand as the game continued on, well, not really his but Kayaba's but the code was already his alright.

Anyway, the territory he was in is a territory of a god that he forgot its name but that god is also quite a crazy one because its an evil god, and so Tanaka was sure that it won't take long before that God discovers them and will wage war against them.

But Tanaka is prepared for that, he already knew that entering the Asgard won't be that peaceful, anyway, Tanaka had already cleared all of the monsters around near the portal, if he remembers correctly, he cleared 20 kilometers around it?

Anyway, Tanaka is now going to explain some of the differences between Asgard from the Midgard and Álfheim, first, monsters' spawn settings are very different, they don't spawn in the fields like the normal hunting fields but instead, they will surge out from a dungeon that isn't cleared after 15 days and they will form a something called Stampede and will attack everything 50 kilometers around the dungeon.

This stampede consists of monsters that spawn inside the dungeon, ranging from elite monsters to boss monsters, and their numbers are completely random which Tanaka himself also doesn't know but he thinks that it ranges about thousands because monsters around the vicinity of the dungeon will also join the stampede if it ever happens.

Tanaka looked around and sighed, after clearing all of the monsters around, he had leveled up to 180 already, much above the other player's levels, he was leading by a huge one so Tanaka decided to stop hunting for now, as for the stampede?

He will leave it to his guild members, they aren't so pathetic to not be able to fight them off, Tanaka right now is admiring the beauty of the Asgard, its very different from Midgard as this was the god's realm, it was widely known that the aesthetic of gods is far different from humans.

Here Tanaka could see floating islands, mountains that extended above the clouds and even going far above those, plants that were never seen before, and some mythical animals, yes, there are not just monsters here but also animals and mythical beings, on the horizon, Tanaka could also see moving floating islands, which he remembers is the nests of the Flugel's, an angel-like beings except that these beings are made to kill Gods, not to be beside them and was governed by a god called Artosh, one of the powerful gods in Asgard.

Just as Tanaka was watching the beautiful scenery in front of him, he suddenly received a message from one of his trusted men, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

Tanaka immediately jumped off the mountain and rushed towards the portal, when he arrived, there are already walls around the peripheral of the portal which are made of wood, Tanaka was happy with the efficiency of his men, maybe he should turn these guys into house builders or something but whatever.

After talking with Hosaka for a bit and giving her some instructions, Tanaka logged off the game, after he logged off, he immediately entered GGO, the moment he entered the GGO, one of the things that Tanaka immediately saw is lots of bullet boards around, all of them are promoting one thing.

[Bullets of Bullets 2(is an idiom for The best bullet) will soon start!]

[Players are welcome to join!]

Seeing this Tanaka couldn't help but smile, this was the one he had been waiting for, for a while now! But, it's the 2nd and not the 3rd where Kirito has joined, but who is he to complain? Tanaka immediately rushed toward the registration area and registered himself as one of the participants.

After that, he was told that the BoB will start next week, and players were given time to prepare, well, for Tanaka he didn't really have anything to prepare so the only thing he could do now is to wait and also look at the players who will join the BoB.

XeXeeD

Yamikaze

Usujio Tarako

Dyne

Kakouton

...

Sinon

"Ho? she actually joined, now this is interesting, unfortunately, I don't see the name of Subtilizer, the BoB first champion"

Tanaka grumbled a little bit, he was actually quite interested in that guy, from what he had observed, that guy seemed to be a former soldier? or maybe a hitman because of how he moves but nonetheless, the guy was very powerful to kill about 50 players in the first BoB.

"..."

Sinon has entered the registration building to see and observe the players joining the BoB, the first one she saw is XeXeeD, a formidable opponent, from what she had found, this guy has his extremely rare gun, the XM29 assault rifle, and defense equipment.

She also heard that this guy has been spreading misinformation about stat allocation to other players, specifically about AGI being the best build, while, she was not sure if this is true but she didn't believe this.

She then saw another name. Dyne one of the players who joined the 1st BoB, he is a cautious player who only leads his squadron to fight against weaker opponents and would order his squadron to retreat if there was even a minuscule sign of danger, a coward if she could say but he was a pain to deal with because of how cautious he was and having a squadron around him.

Sinon looked further into the names and recognized some of them until she saw one name.

[Morax]

Her eyes immediately squinted and she couldn't help but remember the guy who stole her gun and still haven't returned it.
