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.
Negotiations
Samar never believed in unequal partnerships. They were less like partnership and more like a dependency in his eyes.
This was the reason he had prepared the Herbs required by the Severed Flower Guild, but still had not approached them. It was because he did not believe he had enough chips to stand equal to them if they were to cooperate.
However, the situation had changed with the opening of Rajni City.
The number of votes possessed by Samar's team were enough for any Guild to treat them with respect, let alone a lower Ranking Guild like Severed Flower Guild. Moreover, they also shared a common adversary, the Grandeur Guild.
These commonalities were enough to form a foundation for a solid alliance, leading Samar and Gold Peony to quickly reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
