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.
Dittony's Offer
Three nights ago, the City Guards had captured the Red Fox Trading Firm's Caravan in the Rocky Wastelands. Since that night, Marna's bad days had started.
As a consequence of abandoning the quest, Marna had lost her favor with Merchant Gama. He had kicked her and the entire Scarlet Heart Guild out from the Third Floor of the Red Fox's tree building, making their condition no better than other players in the City.
Although it was not officially theirs, the higher ups of the Scarlet Heart still considered the Third floor of the Red Fox Trading Firm as their base of operations in the Rajni City. Losing it was a huge embarrassment to the Scarlet Heart Guild, and undermined Marna's authority by a lot!
This was the last straw that had ended the patience of the Chief Commander of the Black Bloods, Boarchop and the Vice Leader Cruor. They removed Marna from the position of authority and sent the Third Commander of the Black Blood Division, Yisha, to replace her.
