"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 Kingmaker: Legend of the Undefeated Commander

The next day, the Harbingers were gathered in the Autumn Leaf Tavern.

RedQueen and Zamir were exhausted and irritated. They almost bit HardBro's head off for making a poor joke about their current appearance. Since then, the table had descended into a tense silence as they waited for Samar to arrive.

They did not have to wait long as the Vedic Archer arrived a few minutes later, after depositing his latest purchase in the Shop's inventory. Noticing the mood at the table, he decided to get reports from RedQueen and Zamir first.

"Any new prospective recruits?" Samar asked them, taking a seat.

"None!" RedQueen answered curtly, making Samar raise his eyebrow. Zamir elaborated on her answer, explaining why they were in such a foul mood.

"We interviewed 782 applicants but none of them met the requirements you had set." His tone was accusatory as he mentioned the word requirements and it made the rest of the team curious.
