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.
Trap?
The battle atop the wall raged on, with the Harbingers and City Guards gaining ground against the Drow defenders. Amid the chaos, the warblade, a formidable opponent moments ago, suddenly dropped his weapon and collapsed to his knees, his voice trembling with fear and desperation.
"I don't want to fight for the Death Kingdom… I don't want to fight the Elves… but they are holding my family hostage… Please… save them!"
The timing of his plea was beyond suspicious. The Drow was happy to swing his blade at the Elves when the Drows had an advantage; when his own life was not in danger.
However, the moment he realized the Drows no longer held the advantage on this side of the Wall, he had dropped the weapon and pleaded for mercy.
His unusual act had infuriated the City Guards and the Harbingers alike. They expected Samar to ignore his plea and release the arrow that would end his life.
