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 Other Card
The Marauder's Pass in the Ravaged Canyon was a den of bandits and thieves who had lost their sanity. These Elven bandits had given in to their desire to slaughter and loot and turned into monsters.
These Lv 30-35 humanoid bandit Mobs were Marna's favorite prey. Not only did they drop significant loot in the form of Silver Leafs, they also occasionally dropped White-Wood and Black-Stone grade Equipment.
Most importantly, killing these monsters honed her bloodlust and gave her a place to vent her perverse desire to kill. Even when every other player in the Rajni City was running around completing the event quests, Marna was in the Pass, killing the Bandits.
Marna sat in one of the dimly lit caves of a bandit gang she had just destroyed, her chest heaving up and down from her labored breaths. She wiped the blood splattered on her cheeks with her thumb but it only made the mess worse and she growled with annoyance.
