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 12⌟

{PS: I won't show his attributes because I don't have anything to reference at, even in the novels, there are nothing that could be found and how they work, so I created a power scaling based on power scaling of SAO)

(Beginner Floor- low-level ones or those who don't have the skill or are too scared to come out, Intermediate Floor- Players who somewhat have skills but they only do ones at their level and do go above that, mostly works as mercenaries, they mostly work for merchants and shops, The Frontlines- Players at the very front who have enough mechanics to fight monsters on their own, they are mostly part of the big guilds, then lastly, is Merchants and Shopkeepers, have some fighting power but they are more unto the backlines)

(Also, I added some things here that doesnt exist in the novel/manga to add some spice)

(That is all if you have some suggestions feel free to tell me)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=

After I got my quest reward from the NPC which was a full-body living armor called An Incarnation of the Radius Full Armor, yes, a living armor, its base appearance is that came from sci-fi except that it was made of unknown material and leather, I somehow find its name familiar but I could not remember where it was.

(Image here)

I don't know why it was a living armor since it was in my inventory for now but it looked quite cool and I am very excited to wear it but not yet, I think this armor is also quite fitting with my mask, now I don't need to wear a helm to go along with it.

But first is that I need a fitting cape to hide this eye-catching armor, as expected of an EX-rank quest, but the item doesn't have any attributes or anything, like no matter what I do except for its name nothing else appears, like what effects does it gives, and how much defense it gives me.

But whatever, I'll see it in action, now that I have armor, I just needed to upgrade my weapon with the Adamantium that I found, I'm almost ready for everything, but thinking about it I could not help but sigh, I have no rest at all.

But it's not like resting gives me relaxation or anything after meeting that guy, whatever, I immediately made my way towards the nearest smithy that I could find and started working on upgrading my weapon.

It took me a few days working on my weapon because melting adamantium was a pain in the ass, like melting one needed me to use the strongest fire in the smithy in which costs a lot of money when being used, it almost emptied my pockets.

Its really expensive, but anyway, it was very worth it, I was able to upgrade my weapon to a whole new weapon, yes, it sounds dumb but I modified a lot of it, first things first, the appearance of the scythe, its appearance turned into pure black, its very intimidating.

Next are its parts, the blade is a curved one that gives a Reaper vibe, it was 2 meters long and I added some styles to make it look cool.

Then at the other end, I added a trident head, its also black in color because of the adamantium that I couldn't remove no matter what, if I had more time then I would have been able to take out the impurities, but after clearing the 1st floor and getting more materials, I will surely remove those impurities.

(I don't know how to explain this but the process of removing impurities of a sword comes from japan, it was a legend that if impurities are not removed then the swords would turn into cursed swords or even demon swords.)

Now people may wonder, why did I add two weapons on my scythe, well, the answer is simple, it lies on the button in the middle, once I click this thing.

*Click!

The scythe snapped into two from the middle, then when I pulled the two heads away, chains could be seen coming out from the handle of the scythe, yes, this design is inspired by the weapon of the scorpion from mortal combat, I don't know if this is called dual wielding or Kusarigama(Chain-sickle) combo.

But it certainly looks cool, now that I'm satisfied with it, time to make the cape, yes, I learned to make one, its not that difficult though, I just need a good leather to use, after thinking for a while, I decided to go with black leather, it may make me look like an extreme emo kid but as long as it hides my armor I don't care.

It only took a few hours to make one, I decided to go with the cape Sasuke used in Boruto, it reaches up to the knees and a high collar, now that is perfect, I first wore my black armor in which automatically adjusted to my size, it didn't felt tight neither it felt loose, it was like a perfect armor made for me.

I tried moving around trying to feel its flexibility, and wow, it was like I was wearing nothing, now then, time to know why it was termed as a living armor, I tried experimenting with it but found nothing.

But it was until I tried to hit myself with a powerful force that was enough to take a chunk off my health points, my armor started to react, it started lighting up, but not that bright that it would be noticed, one thing I noticed after it lighted up is that the hp I lost instantly healed up.

I could not help but widen my eyes in surprise, an armor that heals me! and take note that I didn't put any points into my endurance, I just noticed it now but I was sure that if I didn't have the armor on, I would have to take a lot more damage from my attack, maybe almost killing me.

Yes, with this, fighting the first-floor boss monster would be a lot easier, with that in mind, I immediately donned in my cape and went out, sine I was ready, it was best to go out immediately.
