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.

Isn't it kinda cliche'

If I get called master one more fucking time I'm going to snap.

I'm not your master! Where did you fucking get that idea? Did the fucking system teach you that? If not, who fucking told you to call me master! Just call me by my damn name!

| Apologies, I deemed the order for them to call you master. |

I was right then... ugh, whatever. Rant aside I gotta manage these Evolutions.

Me - " Alright, since we have an opportunity to set our Stats for you guys... I guess we better take advantage of it. Since we are a little larger of a group than before I Hope that we can get some more specialist roles. "

Dice - " I'll continue and try to be a bruiser, high defence and strength but little speed, with poisons as a secondary focus. "

Anise - " I think.. I'd like to be... in the back lines... with Master, maybe I... can use my webbings... in some way? "

Jotun - " As a samurai, I have ample ability with sword, spear, and a bow. Once I figure out how to summon my bound creatures then I can attack on Dragon Back, similar to a Dragon Knight. I don't know what I should go for in evolutions or anything. "

Me - " Ok then, with these ideas in mind let's start. Jotun first, It will be a little easier hopefully seeing as he hasn't really evolved. "

System, Open Jotun's evolution menu!

| Jotun |

| Currently - Spirit Warrior ( Teir 0 ) |

2 Evo Points

• Evolutions available:

| Elemental Spirit Warrior ( Teir 1 ) |

| Spirit Knight ( Teir 1 ) |

| Forma Knight ( Teir 1+ ) |

+? Yeah. Do that.

| Forma Knight ( Teir 1 ) - A spirit warrior varient that specializes in large aura effects. Grants any Aura Type and an increase in stats when in a party. |

Why would I bother with the other options when one says " Special ". Of course that must mean it's rarer or something.

( Praying to Mordova to not raise a flag here. )

Next evolution then I guess?

| Evolutions available:

| Forma Samurai ( Teir 2 ) |

| Forma Elemental ( Teir 2+ ) |

| Forma Commander ( Teir 2 ) |

| Forma Guard ( Teir 2+ ) |

I don't know which is better...

Alright, I guess it's my duty then to find out! Without adventure there isn't a journey, and if your wondering wether or not to take the option that could change your life... then take it without any caution!

...

Wait there is two...

Shit, I dont know wich to do... Elemental might be best due to his previous nature as a Ice spirit or whatever.. But this other option seems to be more direct in it's goal, that being Guard. What could elemental do? Just change him into whatever that's what!

Me - " I got two different options you might like, one makes you an elemental and one just improves your base. Wich do you want? "

Jotun - " I think, the elemental option might suit me best. It might be something that could tip battles in our favor in the future. "

Alright, use that option then system.

| Confirmed, listing available elements

• Blood+

• Ice+

• Flame

• Crystalline

I already got me some ice, make this dude a blood elemental since it's " + " .

| Confirmed |

| Admitting evolution... |

Viscous blood gathered around Jotun's legs, and climbed upwards throughout his body in entirety. The Icy mist that once flew around him became a bloody smog, his armor changed from the light blue to a dark red... and his hair also changed into a slightly brighter red complete with a revision to his overall features, his body also changed from his previously bulky figure into a slimed, more agile one.

Me - " How do you feel? "

Jotun - " Full of agility, my ice no longer within me I can now assume a faster speed hopefully. What is the element you chose? "

Me - " I chose blood type, I have a title that does some stuff with that. The other option was ice, but since I already deal with ice it would be better to Branch out in damage types. "

Jotun - " What about my sword then? Will it change along with me? "

| Answer: Yes, unique items that are Elementaly attuned to you will change attributes, due to the naming of the weapon and it's created backround revisions must be made. |

Me - " Alright then, that helps out alot. Next up Anise. "

Alrighty... how many points we ha-

27?!??! What the fuck?!? Shit! I'm going to have to think more! It isn't exactly my strong suit you know! All I know is Craft, Abuse Glitches, and use gun!

ugh... let's get into it then.

| Currently: Spider. |

| Available:

• Greater Spider

• Weaver Spider

• Bloodied Spider

• Crypt Walker

... no specials? ... no pluses? Nice. Go for Weaver since she wanted to use her webs!

| Next :

• High Weaver+

• Bloodied Weaver

I feel like your forcing my hand here system, of course I'm going with " + " !

| Next :

• Lesser Arachne

• Arch Weaver

• Adult Weaver

Arachne, we want her to be female, for the fans you know?

| Next :

• Arachne +

Alright? Only one option? Of course then.

| Next :

• Arachnoid

• Adult Arachne

• Tundra Arachne

Arachnoid, since we want a humanoid again.

| Next :

• Puppet Arachnoid

• Trapper Arachnoid

... what is the difference then?

| Puppet Arachnoid are Spider Demi humans that actively hunt prey, whereas the Trapper is a passive Hunter. |

Puppet then. Why is it called puppet?

| Answer: Puppet Arachnoid's most popular method is to attach invisible strings on Corpses, manipulating then for a lure with their human mimicry ability. The Puppet Arachnoid also can create sharp webs that cut or acidic ones for fights. |

Neat...

| Next :

• Puppet Arachnoid Adult ( Teir One )

• Bloodied Puppet Arachnoid ( Teir One + )

• Tundra Puppet Arachnoid ( Teir One + )

Hmm, take adult. We don't need another element that might get in the way... despite the allure of the holy + . Praise be it's name... or whatever.

| Next :

• Arch Puppet Arachnoid ( Teir Two )

• Queen Puppet Arachnoid ( Teir Two )

With the Ninth evolution, I'm very interested in both of those options... with Arch it most likely will increase her Abilities, and the queen most likely will create more spiders?

| Queen Puppet Arachnoid can only breed with Humanoids. Spider Children will not be available, rather they would be born as Puppet Spider. |

| Arch Puppet Arachnoid is just the better version of the previous evolution. It's Capable of breeding with either. |

... thats... not nessasary information. Will that have an effect on Jotun since I now have a chance to have a kid with Anise?

I mean, not that I'd want to! Spider girls don't turn me on, I prefer normal humans!

I swear to my grave! And so be it if it shall send me there!

/\ Pussy. /\

... says the guy who got seduced into years of killing.

/\ Your right, but those two absolutely want to be in a relationship with you. Your gonna need to face it eventually or it will end up badly on the future. /\

Good advice coming from the voices in my head, id be called crazy it I said anything about you to anyone right now.

/\ Agreed, hurry up and evolve her already you prick. /\

I don't know Wich option to go for though. You've always been the brains of this operations!

/\ Alright, let me do it then. Bitch. /\

Anise

| Adult Puppet Arachnoid. -> Cursed Witch Queen Arachnoid ( EX ) |

The fuck did you pick dude?

/\ She wanted to use webs and shit right? I made the best decision on upgrading it, her webs are going to immediately debuff the enemies in every field the way I evolved it. AKA Instant Win. /\

Nice, I guess should make a witch robe for her since that's kinda her thing now.

/\ Want me to do Dice too? /\

Sure, just don't pick anything weird for her.

Dice

| Cultipede -> Toxic Bog Arachnoid Paladin ( EX ) |

I described her as that when we first grinded with her right? I guess it came to be after all. Ay?

/\ That's why I picked it, by the way your at the party again. /\

Fuck
