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.

The first meeting between Samar and Gamya had started off rocky, with a clash of egos. Gamya had looked down on Samar while the latter had upstaged her at her own game, making her recognize the shallowness of her abilities.
This was not the end of their story.
Gamya had not survived as an independent player by relying on her arrogance. After cooling down her head, she recognized Samar's abilities and reached out to him for advice on improvement and Samar had been happy to do her a favor that cost him nothing.
Their mutually beneficial exchanges continued till the day Samar clashed with the Grandeur and became too busy to continue them. However, Samar did one last favor to Gamya and himself before he left the Torana Town.
