"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.
"Damn it!" Le Grande cursed as he was teleported back to Torana Town along with his defeated team. His face was red with anger, a sight very few people had ever seen.
"Guild Master, even if we did not encounter the Vampiric Blood Ent and its army, Elderant is not a Boss we could defeat." Taris, a veteran R4 of the Grandeur Guild shared his opinion, hoping to console his Guild Master.
"Yes, Guild Master. I doubt any Guild is capable of raiding a Lv20 Dungeon just yet!" Blue Moon chimed, hoping to ease Le Grande's displeasure.
Just a second later, she wished she had not opened her mouth to utter a single word as the system announcement sounded throughout the Dreamverse.
