Looking at the transparent screen in front of me, I started to get an understanding of what had happened.
Based purely off of other fantasy things I had read/pyed/watched with simir themes and settings, Starcross Adventure was made by some type of god, who wanted to find people to save their world, or something simir.
So they turned their world into a video game, published it in a world where they could find people to help them, then brought them here when the time came.
Based on what I had read, it was looking for people who had a lot of time put into the game.
This was me to a tee. The game was reaching one year of being out, and I had been pying basically non-stop for the st 6 months. The only things I did outside of the game was work, school, and talked to my family.
I didn’t py to an unhealthy degree, but it was the only passtime I had for those 6 months. I had put around 40 hours into the game each week, and recently passed the 1000 hour mark.
This wasn’t unheard of in games, but putting that much time into a single pyer game, in just 6 months, was strange.
But the game was fun for me, so I pyed it.
And in that 1000 hours, I had not even hit on all of the different things you could do in the game, focusing mainly on just combat and character customization stuff.
So, with this, I probably was chosen for this gods pn.
But that was just assumptions I made.
While still alone in the room, I try to open this menu I was given. A new transparent screen opened in front of me.
Name:Nyx von Blut
Level:0 ?
Proficiency ?
Pyer skills ?
Equipment ?
Background Info ?
The menu was quite short right now, but the down arrows indicated that there was more info under that part of the menu. Outside of the background info, it was identical to the menu for starcross adventure.
Under level, it would detail the base stats. For proficiency it would show the level for each of the weapon types and the skills for each of them as well. Pyer skills would show the skills from level up that you received like movement skills and others like that. And equipment is where you would change out the equipment you had equipped.
Going through each one, I found nothing there. This made sense, since I was still level 0 and had probably never used a weapon or magic. And since I hadn’t leveled up, I had no pyer skills.
Equipment was strange. It listed the nightgown I was wearing, but it gave no benefits. Thinking back to the game, this did follow how that worked. If you checked your equipment inside the school portions of the game, you would see the decorative uniform equipment. This was just like that.
But background info was where I started having things to look at.
Background Info?
Nyx von Blut ?
Lilith von Blut ?
Count Hadron von Blut ?
Countess Cordelia von Blut ?
State of the World?
This had a list of names, and one part that talked about the state of the world. I was guessing this was the basic info that Nyx had before I took over the body.
I was concerned about this, but if this was my life, I needed to not worry about this.
In some ways Nyx was a part of me. A person I made for the game.
So, I decided to go through the different menus in background info.
Nyx von Blut ?
The only son of the Blut count family. The young boy has a very feminine appearance, and thanks to his older sister's state of mind, he almost always is wearing clothes meant for a girl.
He has no problem with this, and quite enjoys wearing the clothes his mother and sister buy for him.
Outside of that, he is also fascinated by his fathers skills. When he was very young, he saw his father training the knights under him. The power his father showed off in that training was unbelievable to the young boy. From there, he often asked his father to start teaching him, but he was always told he was too young for that.
He lives a quite happy life, though one that is also quite sheltered currently.
The info on me stayed about the same from the backstory from the game. The backstory was randomly generated based on choices made during character creation, like how your parents behaved towards you, and things like that.
Game Nyx was however an only child, and a girl. In both cases they were dotted on by their parents, and really enjoyed doing things with them.
After reading this, in the back of my mind, I started to feel the emotions described in the description, like his excitement over learning to fight with his father, or his joy while pying with his sister.
The prologue was going to lead to the point where my dad was going to let me start training, so that was something to look forward to.
Lilith von Blut ?
The oldest daughter of the Blut family. She serves as the heir of the family. She has a close retionship with everyone in the estate.
Due to a trauma when she was younger, she formed a fear of men, which included her, at the time, new born brother. Because of this, she treated Nyx as a younger sister, not brother. This continues somewhat to this day, even after her fear of men faded into mere dislike.
Unlike Nyx, she inherited all of her fathers traits.
She is 4 years older than Nyx and in two years is going to be starting at the royal magic academy.
This entry was about my sister, the girl who had come into my room with my parents. She is older than me by a decent bit. But using her age, I can figure out how old I am. Since the start of the royal magic academy is at the age of 15, and she starts in 2 years, means that she is 13 currently. And since she is 4 years older then me, I must be 9 years old now.
This is quite young and really jarring to me, but I force myself to move on.
But this also gives me a guide for when the prologue is going to happen compared to my current position. The pyer is 11 during the prologue for the background I choose, and that would mean it happens in 2 years.
Count Hadron von Blut ?
The count of the Blut household. Born to the previous head of the family, he was the sole survivor of the massacre of the Blut family. From that young age, he inherited his fathers title and position, and swore revenge against those who killed his family.
AS he grew up, he joined the adventures guild during his time at the royal magic academy. This would lead him to meet his future wife, Cordelia.
He would eventually get his revenge on those who had killed his family, and start a new one with Cordelia.
He is a deeply loving father who cares for his children and wife above all else.
This was about my father. I didn’t really pay attention to the family quest line so I didn’t know much about Nyx’s family beyond the very basics.
I was pnning on doing the quest line eventually since you got some cool unique skills during it.
Countess Cordelia von Blut ?
A commoner born woman who worked as an adventurer until she met her future husband Hadron. She would work with him while he sought revenge against those who had killed his family.
During this time, they fell in love.
After their wedding, they had two children together. She very much wanted daughters so she could dress them in the cute clothes she was envious of as a child.
This did not change even after having Nyx
She is a deeply loving mother and wife.
This info was some stuff I knew. The mother NPC in the prologue and the rest of the game served as an easy pce for character customisation.
She would often gift the pyer new outfits and cosmetic equipment throughout the game.
She was also the NPC used to completely restart character customization.
This made it so them characterizing her as a mother who loved pying dress up with her kids made total sense.
State of the world?
The world was currently held on a delicate bance. Good and evil. Light and dark.
And prophecy stated that soon, that bance was going to fall.
In preparation for this, many nations have banded together in hopes of finding a hero to stop the encroaching darkness.
This is done by having all of the nations send their children to a single school for education.
The school chosen was the royal magic academy of the nation of Stardom.
The hope of this pn is to bolster a force to stand against the darkness, while also developing the retions between each nation.
And this was the basic framing device for the whole game. The game took pce at this royal magic academy. The main story happened in the first 4 years the pyer was at the school, with the fifth year at the school serving as the epilogue and post game.
In the lore of the game, there was an optional additional years you could spend to deeply develop a specific topic, somewhat akin to modern worlds graduate school.
But much like that in my old world, that was for the super smart students.
When I finished the st page of background info, a new screen appears right in front of me.
This one was familiar to me, being the same as the quest screen in the game.
*New Game Plus - Hidden Quest - Background Information*
*Complete!*
*Reward:*
*Pyer skill - Passive:Enhanced Memory!*
This was not a skill I had ever heard of or ever seen on the wiki site. But based on the new game plus quest, this was probably a new skill that did not exist when this was just a game.
But after receiving it, I felt my body catch up to me. I felt that my, now much smaller, body had reached it’s limit. I could finally feel the after effects of the fever from the days before.
I was still clearly getting over it.
It felt like I was dealing with my own body now.
From there, I quickly fall asleep.
