"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.

Samar returned home in the evening, the conclusion of his conversation with Nidar occupying his mind. His concentration was broken when he heard a loud exclamation.

"Saras!" Stivi shouted, grabbing his arm, her eyes gleaming with joy. "The money from the Silver Serpent Guild is here!"

"Shhh!" Saras shushed her hurriedly, worried someone would eavesdrop on them. His eyes darted around the street sneakily but no one was around as they had already reached their lane. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and leveled a glare at Stivi.

"Oops?" Stivi said with an impish smile, not at all sorry for her gaffe. The excitement in her eyes was too obvious and he checked the message from the bank.
