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 50⌟

After a long time of deliberation, Tanaka decided not to update it. If he really does that, he doesn't know what to exchange it for. If he just simply removes it, the luck attribute will be completely useless and unbalanced.

Running a game is not really easy, developers have to see the pros and cons and how will it affect the game, besides, isn't it just being friendly with the NPC's? other players can also do that by raising their affection level with the NPC so it's not really that much.

Tanaka sighed and just continued. He stepped inside the portal and in the next moment, Tanaka found his vision turning around as if the world were spinning, but thankfully, it didn't cause any motion sickness or any headaches, it only happened in a single moment and the next thing he knew, he was now standing inside the teleportation hall of the Dark Night Kingdom.

[Midgard Announcement!]

[Congratulations to Player Morax for being the first player to a kingdom, +100 fame in all Midgard]

[Congratulations to Player Morax for being the first player to a kingdom, +100 fame in all Midgard]

[Congratulations to Player Morax for being the first player to a kingdom, +100 fame in all Midgard]

The sudden announcement repeated 3 times and was announced in the whole human community, all human players heard it, even Tanaka was surprised by the sudden announcement. He actually forgot about this system function!

"And here I was thinking of how to promote the guild. This came at the right time"

Tanaka sighed in relief, anyway. Even though Tanaka is considered a hero, it was only spread to a few people because of the information about the SAO players is hidden, and Tanaka also has no fame in the gaming community.

There may be the big Iceforge workshop but that place is like an empty shell, it was not enough to fill up everything, according to Tanaka's research, top workshops have over 10,000 members, but even those are still not considered the biggest workshops, there are bigger.

If you compare the Iceforge workshop to those, it was like comparing a giant to ants, but of course, Iceforge guild have something that the others have, most of the members of the Iceforge guild are players of SAO, they are veterans who knew real fighting and risked their life.

If they were in the past, they will be considered elite soldiers that could even trample a kingdom, and they also have him, Tanaka, known as Ice, and his hidden identity as Madara, a player who was feared by everyone.

Thinking of this, Tanaka couldn't help but smile, he was confident that it won't take long before he will crush all of those so called top workshops or even the ones that are backed up by a powerful company or shit.

Anyway, he must start to establish the guild now, but establishing a guild isn't so easy. Even the fairies received this new function, so they must do this for their guild to be recognized as official.

First things first that is needed to be to establish a guild is an item called Guild Token. It has a 3% drop rate to every boss monster, 4% to unique boss monsters and 5% to hidden boss monsters.

Yes the chance of this item dropping is pitifully low, but that is not done yet. Players who want to establish a guild must also own a land. It doesn't matter if it's gifted or bought, as long as the player owns it, they will be able to get it.

As for the last one, it's not that much, but they need tons of money. About 10 million gold is enough to build a small Guild Base.

Well, that's not Tanaka's problem, as a workshop, he already divided the work to each division and hoarding gold is the job of the Gold Division, anyway, his job right now is to find the Guild Token, to get that, he have to venture dungeons and Tanaka knew which dungeon is great to have a chance of dropping.

-Trap Dungeon-

Trap Dungeon is one of the 3 great dungeons in the Dark Night Kingdom, except that it wasn't really known yet as players haven' reached the place but Tanaka knew a little of it. Could this be considered cheating?

Its not because he didn't cheat to get the information, he was the one who made the information, anyway, this dungeon name is trap dungeon but its actually not a dungeon full of traps but a dungeon full of boss monsters.

It was the most difficult dungeon if Tanaka says so, in this place, there are a total of 10 boss monsters in this place, but there is a catch, this boss monsters doesn't appear but will ambush the players.

Tanaka stretched his body and entered the dungeon. Thankfully, he remembered he didn't add any 4 party limit or something when he added these dungeons so he could freely enter, anyway, even though he removed the party limit, the punishment of dying in the dungeon is severe.

After Tanaka stepped into the portal of the dungeon, an interface appeared in front of him, wanting to ask what difficulty should he pick, there are 5 difficulties, Easy, Normal, Hard, Crazy, Hell, Tanaka immediately chose the hell difficulty, because this was the only difficulty where there are 10 boss monsters..

The color of the portal changed to blood red and he could even hear some screams. As expected of a hell difficulty, Tanaka didn't think anymore and entered the portal to the dungeon.

This time, there was no spinning nor a sense of being teleported, once Tanaka entered the portal, his vision only turned dark for a second before he stood inside a place that looked like an interior of a dark castle.

There was little light and Tanaka's vision is very limited, the place also looked like a maze because there are many pathways going crisscross, and there was also a gloomy atmosphere.

"Is this place referenced after Dark Souls?"
