《The Ascension Age 》Chapter 40: Stellar Suit Arm
Advertisement
Due could see how tired Aire was after the process, so he patted his shoulders and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. Go sit down and relax."
He then smiled as he continued, "Aire, it'll be quite complicated to hide your achievements from others, so I recommend not trying to do so. To be honest, I would like you to give up on everything else and focus on just the occupation."
Aire immediately shook his head as he said in response, "Thank you, supervisor Due. However, I don't want to give up becoming a Riser." Of course, that was a lie. It's all because it would be the fastest way to get the resources he needed, so he couldn't stop, nor would Stella let him.
Due already expected that answer, though. "Well, it was worth a shot. In any case, I want you to make the occupation your main focus. I told the clerk not to reveal this information, but it will be in the system sooner or later," Due said. "If you do so, it'll be easier to gather the Stellar Energy Resouces you need for your training since higher ranked teams will request your services."
"If it's just that, I can work around it." Nevertheless, Aire had his conditions. "However, it's way too early for me to take any assignments. So far, I have only worked with this Latom Blue Alloy. Supervisor Due, I want to learn how to forge other materials as well. After all, my own dormitory team is also working on making a Stellar Suit. I intend to prioritize them over any others who come around."
Due didn't see a problem with that as he said with a smile, "That's great! As long as you make it your main focus, I can work everything else out. I will have one of our Stellar Smiths work with you from now on, teaching you everything you need. If you have any specific material you want to work on, we can arrange that. Of course, don't get ahead of yourself. You're only in the Stellar Bones Stage, so your Stellar Energy Reserves are very limited to work on anything too complicated."

Aire smiled as he nodded in response. With everything arranged, Aire left the Stellar Smith Faction and went to his classes. Thanks to Due, he wasn't given any punishment for his early absence and was able to catch up with the lessons later.
Later that night, Aire headed back to his teammates' dormitory and told them about the news.
"What?!" Sera couldn't help but hold Aire's arms as she looked at him with her eyes open wide. "Over 80% SMA?! Are you serious?! For real?!"
Sera wasn't the only one. Kymei put his arm around Aire's shoulder as he laughed out loud, saying, "Hahahaha! 80%+ SMA! 80%+ SMA! Hahaha! Great! That's simply great! As expected of the man I recognize. Aire has actually done it."
Aire glanced at Kymei in response and asked, "Recognize? Since when were you doing that? As far as I can see, you just started to recognize."
"Minor details, minor details..." Kymei answered as he waved his hands. "Leaving this aside, Aire, you need to prioritize Sera and I from now on, understood?"
Sera couldn't agree more, saying, "Exactly! With some high SMA material to work with, our plans to build our own Stellar Suits will come to fruition!"
Altina, who didn't understand much about their jobs, couldn't help but ask, "Is this really such a big deal?"
Kymei and Sera nodded vigorously as one of them replied, "Of course it is! Not only are high SMA materials much easier to work with, but they're also a lot more resistant. Both Kymei and I will be able to jump several steps ahead in the Stellar Suit project we have in our hands."
Sera's eyes suddenly lit up as an idea popped into her head. "Hey, Kymei! Suppose we get the Galot Alloy, Tempered Viran Iron, and the Latsil Powder with this level of SMA. Couldn't we skip the stress processing calculation? We could jump straight to Arm Composition!"

Kymei immediately agreed as he responded, "Definitely! I have all the runes ready, or, to be more specific, all their blueprints. They're all based on the Arm design you made. If Aire brings us those materials with a similar SMA, we can bring them to life."
Aire and Altina were puzzled as one of them asked, "What are you even talking about?"
Sera then responded with an ecstatic expression, "Simple. We might be able to use a real Stellar Suit during our first team mission!"
She then clarified herself, continuing, "Well, not an entire Stellar Suit, but only an Arm. Nevertheless, that would give us a huge advantage!"
Altina, who was part of the Warriors' Faction, immediately gave a green light! "Do it! You'll need someone to do stress testing on the prototype, right? Count me in!"
Aire raised his hand, saying, "But I haven't even tried forging any other material yet. It'll take some time for me to learn even if I start working them straight away."
Sera and Kymei didn't mind as one of them replied, "It's fine. Just see what you can do. Even if we can't get it for the first team mission, we would still get it at some point if you pull this off. Just try your best!"
Aire sighed and nodded in response. Team Missions were part of the Resource War. If they could get an advantage and end up with good results, that would give Aire's team more resources than any other tasks they could do alone. Even the Stellar Smith Faction orders couldn't compare. That's why Due wasn't surprised when Aire refused to give up everything else for the Stellar Smith occupation.
As good as Aire might be, he was only one of the genius Stellar Smiths of the school. Being a Stellar Smith might be a shunned profession, but that did not mean no one was doing it. Other branches of the Stellar Smith Faction also had their stars.
"Alright. However, I won't promise anything." It was then that Aire thought about something else. "By the way. Will I be able to forge those materials you requested while only in the Stellar Bones Stage?"
Sera and Kymei nodded as one of them replied, "Kymei and I can work on Stellar Suits, but we're relatively new to it. That being said, we also can't work with difficult materials. Simply put, everything we will ask you will be on par with your and our levels."
And just like that, the plans to build a part of a Stellar Suit started.

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
