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.

Rightfully

So... this girl might know who I am, but it doesn't matter.

I'm already in the raid.

We teleported into a massive stone... cathedral I guess? All of us carriers were sitting down in the bench's by the altar.

What Raid was this again? I think a Insect type? Due to the name... I assume it's also earth type.

Earth and Bug huh. What a bad combination.

Actually, I believe I have no obligation to not shoot this girl's face off right now, especially because she has a mineral for her name.

It was only cool when I did it.

When I basically re-founded the guild...

Well I say founded but, it already was a thing way back before those two murders took control of it with blackmail.

And since then, everyone who wants to get on my good side named themselves after minerals too.

Cobalt... I should buy a name change. It sounds kinda weird now, maybe I could change it to... idk.

Anyways, it seems like the girl was in good relations with Arch... maybe I could win her over?

Tungston - " You are secretly Crimson right? Haha that's so cool! I will totally keep you secret by the way... I'm a huge fan! "

I want to blow her head of right now. A fan girl? Really? I litterally tried to make myself as scummy as possible in the past, and I have Fan Girls?

If I were an author self insert, Wich I am totally not I swear, I'd either tell her to shut up or bribe her.

But I make no sense.

I just went on a small rant on how I wouldn't tell her to shut up or bribe her, but...

Me - " Quite. I don't want to attract to much attention. I can get you an autograph or something later. "

Tungston - " Oh, yes yes yes of course I I can keep quite, I'm the best at being quite. Oh I am. The sneakiest in the wor-

??? - " Alright Everyone, were going to engage some enemies in a few moments, be ready. "

Looks like the leader is starting the party, time to rock and roll.

Did I forget to put my stats in after leveling up last time? Did I even tell you I hit level 68?

Whatever, forgetful as usual aren't I.

Anyways I put the stats in Dex.

These last few levels I haven't gotten anything from stats, wich is weird. I'm sure I should of gotten stealth or quick move.

As I put in my last Dex Point, it turns out I would be proven wrong in a flat minute.

| Skill Unlocked |

| Blood Maladiction ( Passive )|

| Increasing the control over you body, in tandem with your impossibly high control over your blood, allows for Innate powers from your blood. |

| Increases speed = Recent Damage taken x Recent Damage dealt. |

| All damage dealt, adds lesser bleed |

| Damage dealt by bleed converts into health for you. |

| Created by " Blood King " and " Exterminator " titles. |

...

Cool. Can I shoot myself and gain ridiculous speed?

*Bang*

Yes.

I have dashed past all the players readying up, and rushed straight through all the monsters ahead.

Why? I don't know.

I just know I'm fast as fuck.

Scratch everything I just said.

Did you really think I'd get broken skill like that? Ridiculous.

I got stealth.

Yeah. Anyways.

Where was I? Oh right, the raid is starting. I think I'll just play along for now, then spring my trap card. This girl might cause this to fail no matter what I do. I particularly don't want to kill her so I can get some good rep.

PKing a PK guild is a righteous thing to do, and I can totally spin the narrative to be about how I saved her. Tungston was her name right? I've forgotten.

Also... where is Dice? Asi is here... do they not let tamed creatures in Raids?

I really have a habit of running off don't I? As soon as I was warped I immediately rushed too... scout ahead. Yeah. I don't even think master saw me.

The system told me this was an insect type dungeon... but the type isn't mentioned. Master seemingly doesn't mind insects, and he seems to be jealous of Arch's... " Harame " I think he called it. Either way, I plan to cultivate a new friend for master. Someone who can fulfill the tank role.

I'm testing you system, please help me find a new comrade for master.

God knows where dice went.

Anyways, I've been hanging in the far back of the raid group. A few of their tank players are behind us probably to make sure nothing happens to us.

I've think I figured out why they are making us carry these huge back packs. I don't think they know how to use inventory. Not that I'm certain... because I know Arch does it and I know Ruby and Quartz did it. Maybe they hide it from others? That's scummy.

There hasn't been any combat for me... the closest thing i've gotten to combat is when Asi got bored and started shooting fire at the walls.

Did I explain the miners? Well there is just expensive ore here. That's it.

Honesty, I am forcing myself not to kill everyone here right now. It's very annoying to be here.

There's this fucking crazed woman here hovering around me, Asi is going crazy from a lack of combat, Miner and combat players constantly mocking me and having me hold trash items. Ugh, I see why PK is popular. People suck.

I'm going to at least wait until a mini boss before killing everyone here for maximum results. Arch told Tungston about it and now she's in on the plan. Aren't these people your friends or something?

Eventually, we came across a giant Door again. The leader said some garbage, and health pots and buffs were given out. But no buff pots? Why not?

I feel like I'm losing brain cells here.

Looks like Arch agrees. He seems dead inside.

Me - " Hey, Arch... you ready? "

Arch - " Fucking finally... I'm ready to stab some mother fuckers... I see why you used to PK alot. "

Neat.

Alright. I know Dice is here somewhere. I see her fucking HP bar on my hud.

Where is she?

Guess I'll find out later.

My goal worked out too well.

I've shown off my power to a few low level insects of varying species, and I told them how master helped me Acheived this. But too many want to actually join up with Master.

And by too many, I mean 3. I don't know if master would want 3 crystal creatures as party members, they say variety is the spice of life or something.

I got a crystal spider, crystal mantis , crystal serpent to tamable to master.

So all I need to do is meet up with Master again, without having the new companions spotted by the other adventures.

It won't be hard to find him, I assure you he will leave carnage behind without fail, that is what makes me like him... strong and merciless.

Alright, I know the prefect way to lure Cobalt out... first I will clear this raid and tempt him with the strong items... and then BAM. I capture him. Then I will brain wash him into my man servant... the perfect plan.

The raid leader is opening the door to the Mini boss room... I wonder what boss we are going against?

Huh, there are quite a few statues in here... very tall too, big bug guy sitting in a throne....
