"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.
"How? How is this possible? The famed and feared Black Bloods are getting routed by nobodies!"
"What are the Mages of the Black Blood doing? Why don't they cast their most powerful spells and skills to take care of those nobodies?"
"Don't you see those Harbingers have already breached into their formation? If those Black Blood's Mages cast their powerful AoE spells they will do more damage to friendlies than to their enemies!"
"Tsk tsk! Black Blood Division has truly met a tough match. A single archer from the opposite side threw all of them into disarray. He is even intercepting the arrows of the few remaining Black Blood Rangers all by himself!"
The spectators commented, enjoying the sorry state of the Black Blood Division. They were amazed by the performance of these relatively unknown New Pioneer team but they knew the situation would not be in their favor for long.
Samar understood this as well.
