"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.
After exiting the Bank, Samar spent the rest of his morning exploring Alucinor City. This city of Dracoblins had something to offer for every person, like its sole purpose was emptying the visitor's pockets!
With such a noble purpose, how could the city lack a gambling den?
As Samar ventured west, he stumbled into a contrasting sight. The huge marble building, sprawled over a massive swathe of land screamed of riches and fortune but the small market that had formed near its entrance was manned by destitute lowlives.
Samar realized that this was the infamous Gambling Addict's market.
He could spot Elves, Humans and Undead amidst the sellers but not a single Dracoblin. The few that did roam the markets were actually the buyers perusing the goods.
