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.
Mysterious Case of Missing Mika (II)
An hour later, Zorkan and Mochi arrived in Lionsgarh, a small town located near the eastern side of the Ravaged Canyon.
Lionsgarh was one of the few towns in the Elven Faction named by the Supreme Elven Council, the ruling body of the Elven Forests.
The name 'Lionsgarh' recognized the courage of the Elves of this town, who had fought against the invading Death Kingdom Army like lions. Even after Rajni City had fallen, the town had resisted the siege and held strong.
Thousands of Adult Elves and tens of thousands of Undead had perished in that siege. So many children in the town had lost their parents to the war that Lionsgarh came to be known as the Town of Orphans!
That battle was so fierce that few of the current residents of Lionsgarh remembered the faces of their parents, only hearing about their heroics from the Bard's tales.
