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.
Emberleaf Trading Firm
Samar reached the location of his shop and he found the plot of land obscured by the white mist. An aged Elf in a leafy green cloak stood by the plot, annoyance clear on his face.
"Are you the owner of this shop?" The Elf asked with impatience as soon as Samar approached him. The moment Samar confirmed his identity, the aged Elf gruffly handed over the wooden key to him and walked away.
[Please name your Shop.]
"Emberleaf Trading Firm."
Samar did not mean anything by the name except that this name fit in with the other NPC shops on the street. He did not want to let the other Guilds know that he had become the owner of a shop a month into the game.
