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.

Victim

The cold, metallic ladder stung my hands when I climbed downwards. It was dark, illuminated only by a few blue colored... strip lights, I guess.

When I reached the bottom, I was greeted by... a door. A big, metallic door. Covered in frost, soot, and other such material. It was engraved with many symbols, alchemical magic rings... markings of gears... but what struck me curious was two circular slots, and two slots in a rectangle.

Included in one of them, was a large red crystal... its color was deep and nearly filled with angst.

The rectangular ones were filled with two blades, a Red one and a Black one.

The rest were empty, my guess is that its some sort of... guild thing. Was Cobalt in a guild? I remember he was with that Arch fella, maybe they were guild mates?

I appraised the Items, maybe some clue would appear to me.

Interesting... wasn't Dice the name of... oh yeah! It was Cobalts other companion! I guess these others might be too then... what happened to Asi though?

I appraise the blades too, maybe they'll shed some light on the situation.

...

... huh, no results? So they are junk items now... I'd assume that if they were here then they'd be important at least, right?

Well, I have one other option at least.

Battle lens!

See through them, God's eye!~

Haha!

{ Dual Combat Blades, used by a dual swordsman. It is of Magicraft origin and was produced from Cobalt, according to the evidence inside the blade... this might be one of his earliest made magicraft weapon, capable of outputting flames hot enough to burn off hairs from miles away... increasing the speed of the user, and decreasing the stats of all nearby enemies. It is no longer functional. }

Interesting! This is a fine specimen to study Cobalt, but I don't think I can touch it unfortunately....

So, without much further things to do... I place my hand on the dead cold handle, and open the door. Many things lay before my eyes and I need to mentally go through all of these.

A giant rose made of ice.

A Terminator style robot

A Banner from... Morin I think.

Cobalt, laying lifeless in a small... shallow pool of glowing water.

So, this is where Cobalt lays... and as his body sits there, I appraise him.
