"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.
Dendroknight Balka was known for his foolhardy defense. He would rather die than evade and he had developed his Natureguard class to suit his style.
When it was time for him to pass on this Legacy, Dendroknight Balka had the same requirements of his successors. This was why his Legacy test was a trial of endurance.
Massive log of wood swung in the air with no strings to be seen. It impacted against the wall with an ear deafening boom, showing just how powerful the collision force was.
Balka's Test for Romero was to endure the impact from the Log and survive for a minute. Romero flinched when he heard the condition but he steeled his heart and walked to the wall. He steadied his body and braced himself for pain.
As the log swung towards him with a swoosh, he grit his teeth and raised his shield. The log struck his shield with a bang, sending vibrations all through his body and pushed him a few steps back.
