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.
A Shocking Announcement!
In the Great Rift Valley of Africa existed a stone structure reminiscent of the Aztec Sun Pyramid. Ironically, darkness reigned inside the mysterious chamber hall in the depths of the Sun Pyramid.
When the sun reached its peak, a sharp beam of sunlight penetrated through the skylight of the hall. It drove away the darkness, revealing the table placed directly under the skylight.
The beam of sunlight hit the huge topaz embedded at the center of the table and its warm ochre glow revealed the six figures sitting around the table.
They wore identical faceless brown masks and long loose gowns that completely hid their figures, obscuring even their genders. The only way to distinguish them were the placards bearing their nicknames placed around the table.
