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.

Me!Me!Me!

It's the fated day, isn't it.

I dreaded the meeting between me and Edo, I refuse to believe someone who spoke like that procured their funds in a normal manner.

I took the company car there, and arrived at our determined destination. Calling it the company car is pretty appropriate, considering we all use it.

Anyways, I arrived a little earlier than noon, to my surprise there was nobody there yet. I parked the car next to the single tree that towered over the pink field.

I believe this is the place Ruby tried to kiss me that one time, so I have bad memories here... but it's just a beautiful place. It's always breezy in the perfect way, and the way the cherry blossoms fall reminded me of old movies. Quite a good scene. Nobody usually comes here though, it's definitely not well known.

Hopefully Edo knows about this place, I'd suck if he didn't.

...

..

.

- I'm here! -

- Do you see the big black car or the giant tree? I'm over there. -

- Okies! -

I'll never get over that... accent? I think that's what it is. I can absolutely be for certain Edo's a Demi Human race.

But I wonder what type...

Is that Edo over there?

Me - " Yo! Are you Edo? "

...

No response, I guess Edo's is a bit shy In person.

Me - " Got the blade right here for ya, it's got some pretty neat stats... but I hoped the metal Affinity would do something cooler. "

Edo - " So, it's really a divine weapon? How do you make these? "

Me - " Sorry but uh, it's a trade secret. What do you think? "

I handed him the blade, it's very similar to what an actual Wyvern fang would look like. Edo has a hooded white cloak with red lining around the edges, and wears a porcelain face mask. I can't see much else of Edo, but Edo has a fox like tail and ear holes in her hood. Both also white.

Honestly, the accent is too annoying to properly make out the gender of Edo, but it's definitely on the light side of things. Could be a dude with a Girl looking Avatar though... do they allow that? I haven't seen a single example of that.

With a bow of her head, she thanks me and started to walk off... like how she walked here. Does the person who have 10,000 Platinum not have a mount?

Me - " You want a ride home? "

Edo - " I can walk. "

Me - " You sure? "

Edo - " Does the car have air conditioning?"

Me - " Yeah? "

Edo - " Ok. I live at Airmond castle. Can you take me there? "

Isn't Airmond like, a few hours away by foot?

Me - " How did you walk all the way from there to here, it's hours away on foot? "

Edo - " I didn't sleep. "

Me - " I could of just delivered it to you if I knew it was so far away... "

Haaa.... what am I doing. I could be home already and I'm driving this...

Me - " Are you a dude by the way? I need to know for my inner monologues "

Edo - " No, I'm a girl. "

Me - " Ok, thanks. That clears that up for me. "

So that's a chick? Honestly I can't imagine that. Maybe it's her accent that's messing with me, considering I can't see her face. I feel like I see more girls in this game than dude's recently. What's going on dude...

...

..

.

I dropped her off right in front of the massive stone castle, it looks like Recently it was stolen from NPCs and is now a guild house. Makes sense considering she lives here now. I remember I once killed a bunch of NPCs and players here before.

Edo - " Want to come in ? "

Me - " No thanks, been here once and I don't plan to go inside again for a little bit. At least not for now. "

Edo - " You sure? We got prostitutes... "

Me - " What do you mean? I'm not that type of dude. "

Edo - " Are you certain? You have me a ride just cause I was a pretty girl... "

Me - " I didn't know you were a girl till I asked, I can't even see any detail about you besides your tail and ears, and I would do that for anyone. "

Edo - " Alright. How about I prove it? "

Me - " Prove what? "

Edo - " That I'm pretty. "

Me - " I don't care about that! I'm going to leave now, ok? "

Edo - " I don't think you'll be leaving... "

I got in my car and started driving with no resistance, I guess she expected me to stay and get trapped or whatever? What the fuck was that interaction, holy shit.

| Warning, Charm effect was attempted |

Who?

| Player " Edo " Upon first meeting. |

| Charm failed due to loss of !')$)/ |

Huh? Is that glitched? What is that supposed to be... I wonder. Nevermind that, had she been attempting to charm me this whole time? Why would she just walk off after getting the weapon?

| Answer : Player " Edo " Most likely attempted to get you to drive her, allowing more time to charm. |

Ok, thanks all knowing system. I didn't exactly need an answer, but it's ok I guess.

Actually, system... what does the plus in my level mean?

| You reached Maximum Level, in exchange for a level reset you allowed Sniper and Summoner to be attachable. |

Why would I do that? Max level is my fucking goal!

...

..

.

I need another nap.

Just, being in this game is exhausting. Constantly it's just fucking Anime as shit.

I think that's why I used to just go it alone. Being alone prevented Anime type scenarios from constantly impeding me... and I guess I was wrong since... you know.

But no matter what, you can't escape anime type scenarios when your in a fantasy novel.

It's intoxicating, just being around other people. Being around them kinda just happens, I guess that's why this game is popular... it's so that people can interact with other people.

Since I'm kinda bored right now... I'll go start some drama with Edo.

- Hey, nice try to charm me btw... Honestly that weapon isn't actually Divine Tier, I just artificially made it that way cause I know you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It's what you get for trying to charm me. Lol -

I'm pretty good at making Drama right? She's going to be pretty angry about it being a Fake, even if it isn't.

| " Zealous Snake " Guild has declared war on you! |

Hahahahaha. Classic. They don't even know where I am! It's a win by default you fools!

| " Zealous Snake " will attempt to find your location, if they fail you win by default. |

Told ya.
