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.

Samar left the office of Administrator Monae with a conditional promise. Elder Maho and Administrator Monae would only support his proposal if he could get the remaining 5 votes before the voting tomorrow, or else they would continue to align with Merchant Gama.
Administrator Monae had no guarantee that Samar would be able to get the other five votes to achieve a majority. In fact, he was quite vocal in expressing his awe and disappointment towards the influence of Merchant Gama and his Redfox Trading Firm.
He outright told Samar that the Councilmen under Gama would never side with him unless the Archer could provide them better benefits than the Merchant or the latter was embroiled in a scandal, both of which seemed impossible to achieve in the short span of 24 hours.
Samar was going to visit Herbalist Chima, Ranger Thala and Elementalist King Gunila to secure their support but he changed his plans after exiting the Administrator's office.
