"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.
Samar stood in Panjal City, at the entrance of a building that was the definition of simplistic resplendence. A serene and sacred aura surrounded the building as the chants from the Sanctum reverberated on the empty street.
As he stood before the building taking in its breathtaking stature and beauty, Samar remembered what Instructor Dhron had said.
"Not just the Ranger Hall, even the Sanctum of Sages in Torana Town does not have the means to test a Sage's Legacy disciple. You'd better try your luck at the Sanctum of Sages in Panjal City."
This was how Samar had ended up in Panjal City. He took a deep breath, calming his intimidated heart and stepped through the gates of the Sanctum of Sages.
A highly unusual scene greeted him as soon as he stepped into the reception hall.
