"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.

Covered in a black cloak, Samar joined the queue of voters waiting for their turn to vote. He stood just a few spots behind City Guard Scully, which would allow him to closely observe the changes in his behavior when Amarina arrived.

"Team Leader, is this really okay?" Romero asked through a message, "these regular black cloaks cannot prevent people from probing your information. What if Amarina does not come because you are here?"

"Don't worry. There are many players wearing black cloaks. Scarlet Heart won't know it is me unless they probe information of each and every player cloaked in black."

After this conversation, Samar and Romero both went silent, waiting for Amarina to arrive. Clock continued to tick and it was already 1 in the afternoon.
