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.
The Rewards
[Global Announcement: 'The Netherworld Guild' has conquered the Ruins of Dreadmarsh City in the Kingdom of Death….]
The announcement rang in their ears just as the last Armor Piercing Arrow of Samar accurately moved towards the green core of the Tree and shattered it.

The burning and rampant Elderant suddenly became still, and its gargantuan body began to shake. A huge green blast of vitality spread from it and all of its yellowed leaves fell to the ground at once.
"Thank you, Elves," The whistling wind carried the last whisper of the departing spirit to their ears and the Elderant crumbled into pieces, leaving behind loot of incredible value.
The team let out a sigh of relief as they realized the battle had come to an end. They collapsed on the ground, panting, too tired to even celebrate, yet wide smiles graced their lips.
