"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 sun disappeared from the sky of the Dreamverse, making way for the moon and the stars. Under the cloak of twilight, a caravan of three carriages escorted by the Black Blood Sentinels began its journey towards its destination.
Within an hour, the Caravan had completed half of its journey through the Virident Forest. They were attacked by monster mobs on the way but it was nothing they could not handle.
In fact, these monsters were free Exp, as the other Mercenary Escorts hired by Merchant Gama also helped the Players kill the monsters and they were at the moment being attacked by the Tier 2 mobs, Blind Hooters.
"I don't understand why the Second Commander was making such a fuss." One of the Black Blood Rangers standing atop the carriage murmured to his partner, "We have two Tier 3 NPCs protecting the Caravan along with a bunch of Tier 2s. Even if we completely relax, there is no way any force in the City can harm the Caravan, can it?"
