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.

Office days.

AWAKEN!

again

That's like, what... the fifth time I started a chapter like that, any who enough of my insane ramblings. Time to play video games.

I warped to the throne room again, it's weirdly empty except for a few guards, including the man that escorted me to the safe.

- " I procured you some funds, I'll be guarding this kingdom until it gets back on its legs... how does 3 Diamond Coins sound? "

" 3?!?! 3 whole diamond coins!?? That's enough to rebuild half the kingdom!! "

- " I got more if ya need it. "

" We'll gladly take anything we can get, but if you want to give us that much money it needs to be given directly to the queen. "

- " That old King had a wife? "

" Yes, at some point at least. She's long dead, their daughter is the queen now. "

- " Take me to her then, I got business to do later. "

" Of course, Crusader! "

Man, killing the king these days seems to gather lots of respect for some reason. Maybe it's a warrior kingdom where the strongest rules? I mean... that might not hold up considering the new queen though. Anywho, I'm just dropping the money off and leaving hopefully, I don't want to be roped into something weird.

Opening a relatively small white door, led into a very well furnished study. Full of books and tomes, enough to take decades to read them all... stacked high upon bookshelves that would seem endless in their height. Lay before me upon a marble white desc, was a young girl no older that 19 to my eyes. She had a frilly yellow dress with bounding red hair... her eyes were a deep crimson, she reminds me of...

Never mind.

Turn the charm up to eleven, maybe she'll forget I killed her father.

- " Are you the queen? "

" Yes, I'm queen Eurilla. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Crusader Cobalt I presume? "

- " The one and only, you can call me Avery if Cobalt is to much, I brought funds for the kingdom seeing how you were particularly low. "

" Ah... your assistance fuels my gratitude further, killing my barbarian of a King was something that I expected you to end it upon, but rather you continue to help us...is there any reason why? "

- " I'm of the Player Base, and I was given an event quest to help you out or destroy this kingdom. "

" Do you think that other players might come and try to destroy us? "

- " Not just players, there was a time limit on how long it would take to destroy it personally... so I'm inclined to believe that something will happen eventually, be it disease or an attack from another kingdom. "

" I see, I've heard rumors about your abilities... I can only assume every bit Is true, I think I would like introduce you to someone. He was present during the raid on the second barrier and he managed to survive, he's currently my strongest general... if you have an inclination on invading armies it would be best to bring it up with him. "

... Someone survived that? Wow...

- " See ya later then. "

Whew, fuck. I hated every second of that... just the atmosphere around here was sounding our alarms on my brain, saying " This bitch is absolutely going to fuck your mind somehow ". Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'm just going to try my best to stay away from her...

I Journeyed through the castle with the heavily armed man leading the way towards wherever I need to be, hopefully I'll just get in, get out. No funny business or anything. Just straight up " Yo, people might be invading " and nothin else.

I'm sure as hell just going to sleep alone tonight, it was too warm last night... I couldn't get a proper rest. 4 people in bed is just a natural sauna... even if nothing active happens. The ambient heat alone from everyone was enough for me to consider using Ice magic. Yeah, that's right. I didn't have to do anything sexual... but I'm afraid it might go down that line in the future, I'm just not... inclined to that sort of thing I guess.

Reasons including:

Ruby

Edo

I mean, Edo wasn't that bad... but she did fail, so it might of gotten worse. I wonder how she is doing though, I doubt that even with the knife I gave her she would be able to be active in combat considering she is a charm magic user.

Charms don't work when active in combat with a creature unless your like 15 levels higher... that's a joke, but usually it's very hard to charm someone in combat making it impossible without high enough " Charm ". Anyways... I'm going to make an anti charm thing, I don't know what though. I'm not going to risk being perma charmed again... I'm not even sure how they did that the first time.

" Oy, your the fukwad that guards thee king ay? Lots a good that'll did. "

" I did my duty as best as possible. "

- " Is this the gener- "

( Jack Moro POV )

Ah, for sure the heavens play my heart like a twisted fiddle, the dragon stood before me with his flesh re wrote towards the innocent pages of this fair kingdom, he struck down the damned king and here he showed his face to me.

The man spoke little words, merely question who to I am, to him I am! I swear to me illustrious blade, I'd be nothing more than an ant to a tiger should be we fought... and I so didn't, the dragon didn't recognize my soul, toward Wich I introduced myself and told of the story made of his GLORIOUS fight!

Ahahah! I'd never thought I'd see this man not prepared with the gaze he showed, his eyes were cooled down from the earth! I swear to you, whereas when I first met him thy eyes burned furiously with a Red like Blood, but to his eyes no bore no pupil? At Wich the heavens decreed, he seemed a blind man full of sight to I!

Ahah! Today is a lovely day, for our Invaders shall bare witness to the dragons maw, to the heavens pearly gates await their souls should they repent! Ahaha! The Crusader is nothing more that a Deity, and should he be as powerful as to bring two of them to fight him at full power is a testament to his glory!

Ahh, I believe the player Base days in moments like that, PogChamp... I have no indignation on what that could possibly mean, but I believe it honestly to be a blessing mantra.
