"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, you have learned the Rune Arrow Forging Technique and may have even heard of its fearfulness from Sangma, correct?" Sage Nyasa asked Samar, leading him towards his study.
"Do you feel their damage is underwhelming, displaying far less power than what they should possess according to rumors?"
Samar had not really given it a thought before.
He was satisfied with the power of the current Rune Arrows he could make. They provided an attribute bonus superior to any other arrows in the same grade. Hence, he had never thought that their power was weak.
However, the power of Rune Arrows should not be just this much considering the awe and respect the Elves held towards them. It meant he was still missing something and Sage Nyasa was about to reveal the secret to him.
The specter of Sage Nyasa reached upwards and took out an old Birch-Bark tablet from his portrait, astonishing Samar.
