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.

"Buy me 30 seconds…" Mochi's voice was steady, exuding calmth amidst the chaos. His unwavering calm provided the team with the confidence they desperately needed, and the panic in their hearts receded a little.
"You heard the man!" Ruzan tightened his grip on the heavy blade, hardening his resolve, "Let's hold out for 30 more seconds!"
The remaining Harbingers moved into a tight formation, their backs to one another. The Warblades formed a defensive frontline while Sharin blessed them with stat boosting spells.
Vasoo unfurled a rare defensive Tier 2 Magic Scroll and erected a Magical Barrier, forming an impregnable defense around Mochi while the man himself injected his energy into a coin shaped token.
As soon as the Harbingers completed their preparations, the second wave of the barrage arrived. The Black Bloods pressed forward, their spells and arrows raining down like a storm of death.
