"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.
Enticing Illusions
Illusion Magic. It was a branch of magic that was most known for control, rather than pure offense or defense. In frontal combat, Illusion Mages would falter in the face of pure power.
The Sensual Illusions used by Veshya were but a specialized application of Illusion Magic. They were godly for espionage and intelligence gathering but Players doubted they could play a greater role than becoming distractions.
Watching Enticer Veshya's battle against Commander Povnar had reinforced this belief. The Tier 4 Enticer had played a crucial role in battle against Commander Povnar by controlling him, creating opportunities for Imperial Black Knight Ruon but her own spell had not inflicted a single point of damage on Povnar!
