"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.
It was the dark of the dusk and the last vestiges of the orange light were disappearing from the sky. The Elves of the Lionsgarh climbed the walls of the town, with weapons in their hands.
The Rangers shared vision with the circling Falcons and watched as ivory boned skeletons and decaying corpse armies marched towards the town from all directions.
As the armies grew closer, the air on the walls turned heavier. They could feel the power of the approaching undead army and the tension on the faces of the elves became obvious.
"We have requested reinforcements from Rajni City so many times! Why is no one here to help us yet?" Molan, the guard captain of the City guards asked with frustration.
As if in answer to his question, a blackish green portal opened near him and spat out 13 Elves that nobody on the wall recognized. Molan turned and fixed his gaze on the newcomers.
Immediately, the Harbingers lost control over their characters.
