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.

Good morning world.
... Let's try and fix this shit show...
Hi. I'm me, this is journal entry... huh, I don't recall... whatever, documenting experience.
.

I logged in on my Alt account, digitalizing myself to two different IDs was worth it considering I could be tracked by others looking to permanently keep me from rising back up.
There were only few and far between Double ID users, because once your digitized to can't un digitize... this meant you have to of had two IDs being created at the same time during launch.
Man, how many years have it been in since everyone digitized, being basically immortal really does hamper your sense of time.
At least a few years had passed, I think.
Getting constructed in the Digital Hub was first priority. Since I was a Double ID user I couldn't copy my previous self, thats because people would probably recognize me.
Here we go again...
So I went through Avatar creation, it wasn't long or hard... it was kinda like sculpting clay with auto correct.
I made my sculpted being with less than enthusiastic energy, I thought about everything I would have to do before reigning again, and with the ever chanching game some of my secret techniques for easy strength may not work anymore.
It probably won't...
In the Hub I was granted with a intro via a small pop up screen telling me how to use the Hub, I skipped it without missing a beat and immediately head off in the direction of StarDuster Online.
Sigh...
What a dumb name, it had very little to do with stars, dust, or star dust...
Well...
I stepped through a small, gate? I guess that is what it's like. It felt more like a wormhole sucking me in. Hey, that's a good metaphor isnt itm

Thank God, let's Begin already...
The white room I stood in before pulled it self into structure, forming what made up a small fountain wich then expanded into a small town square, wich then expanded into an entire world, all entirely digitized.
...

. Town of Beginnings

Alright, time to get some supplies, first I should make a check list to make sure I don't forget a thing.
- Get apples for Healing
- Get Paralyse Grass
- Kill Wolves untill Level 5
- Get BlackSmith Job
- Craft Wolf Fang Bullets for Rifle
- ???
- Profit.
This was my basic starting checklist, it won't be easy despite how it sounds...
First off all, all apples in this damn game are under authority of Market Players who don't care about anyone... This is due to the Healing they granted. They'd kill anyone who stole, so its going to be a wild ride...
Second, sniper is the second weakest damage class in the early game, it was only effective at very long range... you know, this game being ' Balanced ' and all.
So, here begins my journey.
Alright, let's start with Paralysis Grass, it's a simple herb that grows anywhere, it causes Light Paralysis on Consumption and Refined liquid from it can Paralyse on hit, that's if you take the systems word for everything. The grass can actually cause Paralysis on hit alone if used similar to a famous " Pocket Sand " attack.
I head out from the Town square, where there was no body else... it was like a ghost town. This was probably due to High level players only wanting to be In Safe zones, unfortunately the starting town isn't one for some reason.
Me being a mere LvL 1 won't raise any attention for now... I hope. In the time I have untill I arrive, it would be best to check out what the starting gear is again.
As any marksman will tell you, keeping your rifle in top condition is essential, and any marksman would grimace on the shoddy work done to this rifle, it was practically falling apart. I like the blue coloring on it though. Infact I seem to have a bit of a theme going on with me, silver and blue clothes covered every inch of me.
You know, if I were a girl I would be practically nude right now, most developers are perverts so they make the starter female outfits very revealing. It probably was a huge turnoff for many female players... But I guess it didn't have too much off an effect with the mass amounts of players in this game.
I mean, none seem to be present right now, but maybe I'll meet some edventually.
I arrived at the Grass fields, completely barren and overrun with weeds. Clearly there haven't been players here in forever, and NPCs don't care.
Well, I might as well take maintenance into my own hands... I'm going to completely fix up this grasslands! All 15 Acres of it!
Wait that's pretty long...
