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.
Gravelstars and Mulch Pits
Samar and Commander Povnar stood at the edge of Starfall Valley, gazing down into the vast, barren expanse. A towering mountain, dark and foreboding stood at the center of a desolate crater, with jagged cliffs encircling it like the walls of a forgotten world. The view inspired awe in his heart, no matter how many times he saw it.
"This huge mountain…," Commander Povnar said, his voice tinged with admiration, "It is just one of the many pieces of star that fell from the heavens in the Era of Antiquity. Fascinating, isn't it?"
Samar nodded absentmindedly, and he followed Commander Povnar towards the entrance of the Mine. Commander Povnar continued to talk about the meteorites and Samar listened to his story with interest but his next words made his ears perk up.
"There should still be a few pieces of stars in this canyon, waiting to be unearthed." Povnar looked back at Samar and said, "If you can find them, the Elven Faction will reward you handsomely."
