The Kingmaker: Legend of the Undefeated Commander
"Saras Gayen! Are you reading those dusty old books again?" Nina Gayen's shout preceded her entrance as she banged open the door to her son's room. As she expected, she found Saras sitting on his bean bag, holding a paperback copy of World History: The Ancient Civilizations. She snatched the book from his hands and tossed it into the pile of other books covering a range of topics from politics to economics related to Earth. "Look at Ellie's daughter, Stivi. She has already reached Level 3 in the Dreamverse VR within two hours of its launch. Why are you still lounging at home?" "I am not lounging! I am studying History…" Saras protested, looking at the book pile before turning his gaze towards his mother. She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him as if he had committed a grave sin by not entering the game as soon as it was launched. "You are turning 25 this year. If you don't play the Dreamverse VR now and join a good guild, how will you find a wife?" Thus started his journey as he once again navigated the VR scene through the mysterious game Dreamverse VR that was said to hold the keys to Human Evolution.
Breaking the Illusion
"Break!"
The bellow echoed through the land as Commander Povnar's mace crashed down onto the seemingly empty air before him. A shockwave of raw power erupted from the impact, as the force of his skill tore through the air.
For a moment, the world seemed to have come to stand still and then the image of a barren wasteland before their eyes began to ripple.
The Players and Guards were shocked as none of them had suspected the scene before their eyes, let alone noticed it was an Illusion Magic. Their faces grew somber when even a Tier 5 attack of the City Commander failed to break the Illusion.
Commander Povnar was not phased by the failure and he used an even stronger Tier 5 skill, Rending Force. As the spiked mace connected with the invisible barrier, jagged lines of energy spread out.
