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.

Sin of Gluttony

The Book tingled with callous cold within my hand as I snap it shut, the further I delved into the leather bound encyclopedia the more my mind melded away... its made me question Cobalt's sanity, and it taunted to to continue on...

The diary entries smash cut together with elaborate diagrams of magic technique, I want to compare this to the scrolls of magic supposedly provided by the Archmage tower organization... I heard rumors that Archmage had affiliations with Cobalt to some degree, maybe Cobalt provided magical techniques... in their hands it surely would be improved and tested, but also its likely Cobalt didn't reveal his full hand regarding magic.

The Book put to the side, I begin inspecting other such things on his person...loose bits of wet paper with unknown markings line the insides of his pockets along with many metallic objects and a soft lump of metal.

I also find Mana Crystals within his possession, as to what he'd need those for I don't know... usually they are magic batteries, but from what I can gather he doesn't use them for casting spells.

So, I analyze the objects with a mild curiosity.

[ Stygian Bronze ]

[ Relic Grade material ]

[ Mana Crystal ( Large ) x7 ]

[ Magic Scripture ]

[ Relic Grade class swap ]

[ Notice: Consumption of these items provide the class " Priest of Omega ", levels will be transferred in a 2:1 ratio. ]

Consumption?

Omega... what is Omega?

What is Sygnian Bronze?

This batch of Knowledge leaves me uncertain, and full of questions... but there is still more!

[ Star Eater Cartridge ]

[ Relic Grade Cartridge ]

[ Blossom Field Rep Token x27 ]

[ Reputation Shop ( Blossom Field ) Unlocked ]

More things to consider! I have no clue as to what these are, and I have little time to inspect them... so I'll have to rush and find out!

Activate Class change!

[ Warning: Class Change may induce nausua, headache, loss of sight, insanity, and in some cases death... continue? ]

Oh... uh...

...

Yes.

[ Confirmed, Implementing... ]

" Avery... "

Who's there?

Am I hearing voices again! I'm tired of this, I just want to be sane!

" Cobalt, I need your power... grant me your blessing... oh God of Creation... "

I'm no deity, nor am I hot!

Wait you didn't say anything about my looks... uh, never mind about that last part...

What do you mean by blessing?

" Please... answer me... "

I am! I am talki-... wait I'm not...

Damn, I got used to being able to reply to things in my head with my head, but now I gotta use my voice!

- " Who are you. "

I ask plain and simple, I don't recognize the voice... but it sounds similar to someone I do know, without an accent at least.

" My name is... Prine... Prime Moro, your grace... "

Moro.... that's the Scottish guy right? I wondered why he had an accent, I guess he had a kid before he kicked the bucket? That's neat.

- " Moro, I do recognize that name... what will you do with the power? "

" I wish to defeat Origin Guild, and revive you... I wasn't supposed to touch your body... I'm sorry.... "

Touch my body? I left a physical one behind? Dang, I thought I'd just be spirited away... but o guess not. Beyond that, anyone who wants to kick the shit out of Origin is a friend of mine.

[ User ' Cobalt ', would you like to overlook NPC ' Prine Moro ' as a patron? ]

System!! You are back!! I can hear you again!!

Talk to me, what's happening down there!

...

I'll be his patron, I guess...

[ Confirmed ]

The system didn't respond to what I said, rather only when I replied to it... this isn't progress. I've been getting those walls inside me 7 times now and I haven't gotten anything new!

I want to chat! I want to listen to music, or podcasts, or anything!

Anything system! Please!

" Thank you... your grace... "

Oh right... Moro.

- " Use what you gained wisely, and do not flaunt it. I also have a request for you... Son of Jack Moro. "

" Anything, your grace! "

- " Call me Avery. "
