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.
Preparing for the Night
After the Eaglets, Samar also auctioned off the Equipment dropped by the Mountain Cliff Eagle as well as 8 complete Sentinel Sets. Old and new, everyone received something from the Auction.
Even the few of those who didn't get anything, left with an assurance that Samar would share the even the best of items with them, instead of keeping it all for himself.
When they came out of the Tavern, the midday sun was at its peak in the sky. There were still many hours left before the Merchant Gama's Caravan would set off from the City.
Samar received hourly updates from Reyan about their progress. He was shocked to know that the Caravan would not only have NPC guards but would also be guarded by other Deathless Beings!
