StarDuster - Glory of the Umbral Avenger

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.

Inspiration

Tungston laid in her office, she wore a simple plaid shirt with dirty jeans while her blond hair hung itself in a raggedy pony tail. Her Job was important, given to her by Syn.

That's what it said at least, Tungston found office work boring and meaningless...she only has aspirations to work on Alchemy, she however found her time fleeting with this new job.

She fiddled with the Alchemical ingredients that Scarab graciously lend to her, but she couldn't do anything with the weird metal she was presented. Using her lens, she scanned and traced the origins of that metal with no results... finally she gave into her curiosity and used the System.

| ??? Metal |

| Desc. An Unnamed metal produced directly from Cobalt's Alchemical prowess, it is forged by flavoured mana and condensed to the point of solidification, an unknown technique has amplified its strength hundreds fold. |

An unknown metal and an unknown technique, only Cobalt knows the answers and yet she rarely has the time to discuss with him... he was the Prime Crafter, an absolute figure head in this field... and yet he was an Alchemist.

' How... ' she pondered uselessly, ' How did he make all of that shit! '

It wasn't like Tungston to swear, but being around Edo had changed her vocabulary a little bit. Tungston was furious, what did Cobalt have that she couldn't perceive? How could she peer further into the Abyss?

She spoke out loud, calling towards her System.

The Log out button was still gone, after all of these years she never expected to be stuck here... she needed a breather, some sort of break... in StarDuster you always need to move forward or you would be left behind.

That's when it hit her, a light bulb nearly flashed above her head! That was the difference between them, Cobalt never tooks breaks without heavy resistance! Its like he was built to constantly work, and she simply couldn't keep up... and she didn't need to!

She doesn't need to be a forerunner, Cobalt is already pushing through everything that comes... all she needs to do is cement it, note it down, distribute it, and flesh out his theories!

Where to start now... that was a difficult problem, after all... they were already so far apart, she was working with spears while Cobalt already was testing nukes. There was a theory however... Magic Circle Fusing. Cobalt used it often, even to the point Anise memorized and mastered it.

Tungston wasn't a mage, but she was an Alchemist. Maybe it would apply to Alchemy too?

She pushed aside the cluttered desc and began getting ready for her experiment... first off she activated many... many safe locks, after hearing about Cobalt's GodSlayer set she wouldn't want to risk anything to such powers.

She pulled on the Air, gathering her Alchemical power and distributing it towards her center... slowly she began pulling it through her body and then outward. It was illusive, a orb of clear force irradiated around her waist.

This was Alchemical power.

She theorized, Magic Circles were simply constructions of the System according to Cobalt's theory... but that doesn't make much sense, after all... beings without the system can use magic, and magic had been here long since the system... so...

There was no prompt, there was no ingrained feelings... she simply just tried, she took the Alchemical Power and forged it into shapes. First a hollow circle, the Alchemical power violently snapped like a broken twig.

The Hollow Circle fragmented evenly into four quarters... what did this mean? Tungston had no clue, but she simply must go further...

She pulled out more Alchemical power from herself, the illusive force gathered once more... and yet it refused to join the fragmented circle, in spite of this Tungston formed it into a Square.

The Square snapped even more violently than the circle, this time into three sections. Tungston was on the verge of a break through, and yet she still had no clue what she was getting herself into.

She summoned a small pentagon of Alchemical Forced and drove it into the hovering design.

The Sigil floated and gathered together into a spherical mass... before fragmenting with a red light, it rang out and gave an ear splitting screech before Tungston attempted to pull it apart with her Alchemy, this clearly wasn't a good result... and yet it got worse.

Tungston's ears and nose started bleeding profusely, her grip on the Alchemical power loosened as the Orb grew in size and power.

Her Eyes let out a bloody tear before...
