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.

Make your Metal

You know what really pisses me off? Second phases to boss fights... usually they don't make much sense and seem really forced.

Anyways, I didn't kill the guy in the mech. Arch killed the guy with a shield.

Who names themselves based on a emoticon anyways? Usernames have to be at max 2 words and Simple to be rememberable.

1 word usernames are always people trying to be either cute or cool.

2 word usernames are people who are sensible.

I fall on the first statement, same as Arch.

Are we getting out of focus? Yes.

So, let's get back into the meat of things.

The man was livid at me destroying his super ultra strong mech that never hurt me... and in his rage he made a second really ultra super mega huge mech.

His words not mine.

Want proof?

Him - " This is a ultra super mega huge mech "

There. Proof he said that.

..

What am I going on about.

Anyways, let's re enact history with a brief lesson.

An OP charector is going to still kick your shit in no matter how strong of an upgrade to give yourself because his defining trait is that he is OP.

Not that I'm OP, just very lucky in the matches I'm getting. If there was a rouge or something my level who dedicated himself to killing me I probably couldn't beat him if he snuck up on me.

What you see now is just the result of me meta labing a game someone made just to get the upper hand in and kick everyone's ass. It's like practicing chess for years and coming back to kick the shit out of some newbie who is still making out what chess pieces do what.

Speaking of doing what, Arch stabbed this dude's mech in the back, not metaphorically.

The blade melted through the metal that encased the the man, he seemed to get more livid as time went on.

Extremities were thrown my way like I was someone who bottom fragged in a competitive game of a Moba, and we lost.

Gun gun gun, time for some fun.

I shot a few rounds from my rifle, nothing special beyond the pierce rounds. I've never told you all the shots that Trick Shot can do right? Well, everything you'll ever need is AoE and pierce.

I might be dreaming comatose with how everything just kind of lines in my favor. Arch seems to be able to easily clean up the mech with a few slices through... finally ending with the pierced throat of a salty man who's mech didn't work.

Mother Fucker...

Arch - " What... was that... is that the true power of Crimson? "

Fuck it, let's play along with that... what a dope.

Me - " I guessed that you'd need a little extra spice. Looks like it worked out well. When are your pals coming back? "

Arch - " You mean they didn't die? But I saw them... "

Me - " Dude, you only lose levels if you die. Did you not know that? "

Arch - " Really? This whole time? "

Me - " Yeah... and they probably won't even lose levels due to the newbie protection. You can have them warp to you right now if you want. "

Arch - " Oh really? How do I do that? "

How is has this guy got to level 50 without knowing any of that. I've died so many times trying to get to level 50 on my first account I had a tally counter for it. It was 78 times!

This dude is litterally carried by fate, and by extension... me.

Me - " Just... tap the entrance to the mini boss arena. Since most of the raid group is dead it let's people come back. Anyways what would we do with the non combat players over there? "

* Nervous quivering *

Well I guess it's appropriate to be scared, not for their lives but rather levels. These poor guys probably only have 20 - 30 levels total, and most might not even have combat classes.

Me - " I mean if you want, I can leave it too you... or I can just - "

Arch - " Nonono, I'll take care of them... can you just bring back my party for me? "

I guess he didn't want me to kill them. What a Charlemagne.

I used my dash to run to the entrance door in a quick jog, I'll leave it to Arch. He is pretty reliable, unlike a certain author. I made it to the door, tapped the handle and called the names of Arch's pals... and Tungston.

No matter what, I'm not letting Tungston travel with me... if anything I'm having her travel with Arch.

I'm glad that Tungston died, she probably doesn't have newbie protection and lost a few levels... maybe even an item or two hopefully.

* Ding *

| Player group ' Evo ' revived. |

We had a named group this whole time, and they named it that? Was it because Arch evolved halfway through?

Speaking of wich, Arch's only change was his height, he's a bit taller now at what, 6f - 1in? I'm not telling you my height though... unless I told you earlier. I don't remember.

With a seemingly unceremonious drop, the girls were revived, horay for cannon fodder! I don't get why we took them here anyway.

Is Arch a pimp?

And is this chapter filler?

Both questions have the same answer.

Arch's pals didn't even talk to me after reviving them, they just ran up to Arch and started appraising his cool fire Sword and how tall he is now. I don't mind, I've never cared for women... especially when you can make a digital world where you can hand craft any woman you want.... am I an incel for saying that?

Honestly... I can't even tell the difference between some people and NPCs anymore because people are slowly, naturally changing themselves into NPCs. Like when you hang around a group of people for too long you take their sense of humor... but on a bigger scale. I mean people are hanging around NPCs almost all day, despite there being over 7 billion people digitized.

You know, looking back at the past. What the fuck is going on with humanity?

How come 2 of the 50 humans left in digitized are murders? And why would they have me as an Assasin in a video game when they can kill them in real life? It's just a game dude!

Also, how are my suppliers able to talk to these outside people? They shouldn't be able too for the most part... unless their admins. And why would admins want to kill people in real life, and in a fucking video game?

Wait... what if they were litterally just telling a lie.

Has the previous so many years of my life been lead around by a lying bitch?

Fuck dude... I got to think about this.
