Ascendance: The Rebirth Of The Unknown Gamer

Achievements in Ascendance were permanent, with each having its own effect, and each lasting through reincarnation, thus they are very coveted.

Basic achievements like Thief are very easy to get, and unlock classes for players to choose from, but advanced achievements like Dragon Slayer, were very difficult to acquire, needing an individual to kill ten a.d.u.l.t dragons or one ancient dragon by themselves in a single lifetime.

There are also party achievements and guild achievements, and even game achievements, which are unique achievements only acquirable by one group or individual, and have incredible effects.

Aura didn't want many achievements, since most just unlocked classes, but quite a few had phenominal effects, so Aura planned on getting a bunch before moving on to the second realm.

Aura's next target was the bones for the prosthetic leg, as well as some materials for Fiona's other eye.

All of a sudden, rain started pouring down, drenching the area.

To get away, Aura headed over to the teleportation circle and back to Farbridge, only to find it was raining there as well.

Weather in Ascendance was just like in real life, with occasional exceptions, this was one of those exceptions.

A god of the water attribute had come to Warrick, and his presence was making it rain.

Aura didn't really remember any sightings of a god this early on, but it was always possible that nobody knew what a countrywide weather change meant at this point in the game.

But this was a perfect opportunity for Aura, so he quickly purchased a speed scroll and haste potion, consumed them both, and ran at full speed back towards home.

When he arrived, he slid onto the piano bench and began to play a wild, sweeping rhythm, before he was once again transported, though not all that far away from his start point.

About five hundred miles from Farbridge, there was a rocky area in the middle of a forest.

Three years from now, someone made a startling discovery, more than a hundred rainbow flowers blossoming in the same area, unearthing a record sized deposit of rainbow crystals.

And rainbow crystals only grow near deposits of other precious metals, meaning that this place was chock full of things Aura wanted, some of which couldn't even be stolen (stealing in the first realm was the way most skilled players got a hold of rare materials, since every country had a ridiculous stockpile, and didn't bother to guard it all that well).

There were several materials unique to each realm, with each being incredibly valued and rare.

Crystalline orichalc.u.m and blood titanite were the two metals unique to the first realm, with most blacksmiths willing to pay an arm and a leg for a single ingot.

Aura, on the other hand, loved crystalline orichalc.u.m and hated blood titanite. Blood titanite was considered the greatest material in the first realm, because weapons made with it have the lifesteal function, allowing players to heal themselves at their enemy's expense. However, the material was brittle, hard to work with, and didn't alloy well, meaning that while combat classes love it, blacksmiths despise it.

Aura's hatred for blood titanite was because a metal that doesn't have any possibilities is more boring than an ordinary rock, because you can make tools out of a rock, but a sword with the durability of peanut brittle is useless.

While waiting for the rain to end, Aura pulled out the dungeon core and began to infuse it with force, preparing it for its soon to come job of shrinking dragon parts.

Aura had a thing for mismatched eyes, and having two different eyes that both serve a distinct function was way more fun than just having one special eye.

Fiona's left eye would be a dragon's, and her right would be a work of art from Aura, allowing her to see long distances and small details in perfect focus, letting her read all languages and see through deceptions, even letting her discern people's auras.

Rainbow crystals may not have any special uses, but they still functioned like ordinary crystals, so Aura planned to make lenses out of this prized crystal, as well as the iris containing rainbow crystal powder, to give it a cool rainbow shimmer.

How he would make the eye depended on what materials he could find here.
