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.
Fickle Luck
Luck was a completely randomized stat in the Dreamverse. One could get anywhere from 1 to 100 points in Luck which would be refreshed at random intervals.
Most of the players had no idea how the Luck stat worked in the Dreamverse and even Samar had only come to know about the mechanism, thanks to the glitch caused by Dream.
Luck was even more mysterious in the eyes of the original inhabitants of the Dreamverse. Sage Nyasa's lineage was therefore revered by the Elves because they had inherited the mantle of the Prime Elves and continued to study the esoteric Rune of Luck.
Samar uncovered many clues from Sage Vikran's notes but he was only able to piece them together after receiving guidance from Dream.
