"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.
Unaware of the movement outside, the Harbingers fought for their lives inside the Dungeon. A few minutes into the second wave, the boss of the wave appeared at the north wall.
Unlike the First Wave Boss, the Boss of the Second Wave was too large to hide amidst its minions. Its massive lumbering figure at the far end of the battlefield was visible even from the wall that was a thousand meters away.
A giant rotting zombie, its grotesque form was a patchwork of decayed flesh and exposed bone, with a gaping maw that dripped with a vile, dark liquid. Surrounding him were numerous Rotting Corpses, their fetid stench filling the air.
It was the Boss of the Second Wave, the Ravenous Corpse Bhook!
As soon as Bhook appeared on the battlefield, Molan had taken action. With precise accuracy, he had shot powerful arrows at Bhook, enraging the Boss into charging towards the wall.
