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.

"Guild Master, RedQueen and her team have betrayed Samar. They have sent over the video of their hunt!"
Blue Moon rushed excitedly into Le Grande's office, knowing he would want to watch this video. She projected it from her smartwatch on the wall before them and started to play it.
In a ravaged wasteland where vegetation had died and ground was cracked, four players surrounded a lone Ranger. There was no bow in his hands and neither did he have a decent piece of equipment on his body.
"RedQueen, Zamir, Hardbro, BigSoftie! You guys have decided to betray me as well? How dare you? After all we have been through, you chose the Grandeur Guild!"
Blue Moon and Le Grande watched with a pleased smile as the anguished voice of Samar cried in the video.
