My Father always told me to stand tall, this is my opportunity to do just that. [ This novel has been discontinued, a redux version of this series is currently in production. ] A glorious reign over the realm only to be hunted, a glorious return only to be haunted. Avery Hall had a fair share of experience when it came to the many layers of humanity. With the death of our real world in the future, everyone gets digitized and becomes... well, Immortal. To a degree. But how to do you spend immortality? Video Games... of course, with everything being digital... and with Hyper Advanced A.I... it's possible to create games that simulate what reality used to be like. Our story takes place in Starduster MMO, a fantasy based MMO game where the game's story is run mainly by player choice, with any choice being an important factor into anything. Our main point of view is Avery Hall, who specializes in the Sniper Class, a long range damage class that uses a Rifle. He is quite efficient at making use of all he has available, and is kind of a jerk. Avery also has been preventing the Progress of the game by holding on to a Key Artifact, other players find out about this and after a while decide they don't want him around anymore. While normally death lowers levels... his reputation is too low within the game and he gets banned, luckily he has a second account, as most V.I.P. users in the world do... Avery, swears to return the status quo, but maybe he'll be good this time... hopefully, habits take a long time to stop. So we join Avery's journey to get back to the top, just make sure he doesn't forget to properly transfer accounts.

Vanilla and Cocoa.

I'm need quite the bit of information and tools to not only get an idea of what I'm doing but also how to do it. The first step is probably to kill this Raven guy, but how do I use stealth as an assassin?

Every skill works differently depending on the class, for example lets use the simple ' Roll ' skill which is developed by being trained for around 2 weeks by a combat mentor.

Swordsman will have a simple roll that I'd mainly just used for dodging, whereas if I were to use it with my sidearm they move will automatically reload it.

Stealth for my class is more like active camouflage whereas for a theif it's transparency in the skin. This doesn't account for other factors like stealth cloaks and the such.

Skills are usually activated through the mind be it magical, like turning a sword into 500 laser ones. Physically activated ones require a learned motion, like our friend combat roll. So I need to determine whether or not stealth in an assassin is magical or physical.

To be frank, its quite hard to determine how I activate these abilities... I never tried most of them or the class paired with then often, beyond what broken knowledge I do have though... is not enough. I need a silent solution as I suspect the reason a white raven would be here isn't because this is a popular inn. I mean it's quite drab.

To think through it a little bit, he might be here searching for me... or whoever inhabited this body before what ever just fucking happened.

Obviously there will be some sort of battle eventually, and using mental commands I can't see any information on the knight specifically nor tips for skills and such... this reminds me of when I started playing Starduster... I couldn't figure out alchemy for days.

I solved it then like I will solve it now, through the scientific method... kick ass and chew gum.

Since stab is probably activated by stabbing and balance is most likely a passive... I'll sneak up on the Knight when he turns around.

With a glance I peak out the door again, to my surprise the knight is standing right in front of me... facing me... and most importantly, he has his weapon drawn.

After looking at each other stunned, I briefly remembered he probably wants to kill me and I want to kill him... so I closed the door.

- " Nobody is here! "

" Come out scum, it will be easier to testify your crimes with your head on. "

- " There are two kinds of people, ones who can extrapolate meaning with a lack if data and form it into a cohesive sentence. "

With my secret strategy... using big words... I slam my shoulder into the wooden door and bust it down on top of this poor Knight bastard. While he is down I take the opportunity to stab him in the eyes.

∆ Stab Used ∆

∆ Human Killed, granting Murderer Title. ∆

∆ You have reached level 15, stats allocated. ∆

Besides plenty of screams and grunts, he is weirdly silent after losing his HP... usually they have time to get out at least a few...

Wait... is that blood?

He's blee-

bu-

NPCs don't bleed actual blood...

Players only have small amounts, large slashes appear as just cool red lights!

Why is he bleeding then?

Is he... real?

Did I just kill a real pe-

" What's going on up there Daniel! "

... he had comrades... shit, I got to prepare...

I can probably get out of here if I make a run for it...he might of been only level whatever but If I have to fight a surplus of higher level people I might be at a disadvantage for once in my life...god damn, why is he bleeding so much?
