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 moment Samar's arrow hit the Corpse Incarnation, it started to disintegrate into dust particles.
The skeletons, the Elven NPCs, the cemetery, the town… Everything around them began to fade away leaving behind only haunted cries of war, anger, sorrow, grief and relief.
"No wonder they call it the Echo Instance…" Samar realized as the images and voices of the Elven NPCs on the wall continued to echo in his ears and heart long after they had faded away.
Those shadows left an imprint of the past Elves on him, slowly helping Samar recognize himself as a true Elf and not just as a Deathless Being of Elven Faction.

The somber atmosphere was broken by the continuous chimes of System notifications. A wall of system messages had arrived in his inbox along with white beams of light that fell on most of the Party members.
