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.
Nightmarish Advancement Test
"RedQueen!" Samar greeted Stivi who had just arrived at the statue of Tier 5 Runeblade, Anisa. "Her fighting style greatly matches yours. See if you can undergo her Tier Advancement Test and inherit her legacy."
"So this is the reason you called me here so urgently…" Stivi murmured, taking a careful look at Anisa.
The statue of the heroic warblade stood with a stoic expression, her sword drawn and ready to kill. Its armor gleaming under the soft rays of sun, Anisa exuded a mighty pressure upon all those who sought her approval.
Stivi and Samar bowed with reverence to the statue, paying their respects to the valor of the deceased Runeblade.
"Runeblade Anisa, please test my qualifications," Stivi said in a respectful tone and extended her hand towards the base of the statue. As soon as her palm touched the shallow palm imprinted on the base, Stivi disappeared from the Memorium, leaving Samar alone.
