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.

Le Grande felt his heart ache from seeing Samar and his team brazenly bag the pieces of Dark Cloud Sets and other equipment dropped by his people. Each one of them was a Bronze-Copper grade piece of equipment, and their total worth was over 300 Gold Leafs!
The Guild Master of Grandeur gnashed his teeth with extreme frustration and helplessness but he dared not stop Samar. He only looked at him with frosty eyes, full of suppressed fury and clenched his fists.
"Celebrate your victory for as long as you can," Le Grande quietly murmured,"Next time you won't be so lucky!"
Then he turned around and left, walking out of the Wild Willows with his surviving guild members.
With his departure, there was only the Howling Moon Guild and Severed Flower Guild left around the portal, but Samar could not deduce their intentions.
