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.
Marna
When Saras returned home, he found the atmosphere in the house strange and unusual.
His mother tried her best to act aloof throughout the dinner but she failed to hide the joy in her eyes. His father had a triumphant grin on his face even though he had to sleep on the couch!
'What the heck is wrong with them?' Saras wondered but he was too tired to involve himself in their lover's spat. He had guessed that he may be the reason behind their strange behaviors but they were so contradictory that he decided to stay out of their business.
He retired to his room, and hit the bed. While counting the hours left till the opening of Rajni City, he unknowingly fell into the embrace of the goddess of sleep.
Before he knew it a new day dawned on Mars. Saras completed his daily circulations of Tej Mantra and the exercise accompanying the Mana Conversion Mystic Arts before setting off towards the VR Complex.
