What If Life Is A Chess Game
me and this world
Dagda
{As I Looked both left and right}
{Looked up}
Where am i!?
Dagda
{Stand up with a slight pain}
Dagda
{Stretched}
Ahhh... That feels so much good
Dagda
{I started to walk around as i observed my surroundings with an amazed look at the environment}
Dagda
This place is so beautiful
Dagda
{As i continued to walk straight i saw a giant chess piece}
Dagda
{As i get close to the giant chess piece the more clear it looks}
Wait that looks like a pawn... A GIANT PAWN!!
Dagda
(I was shocked as I tripped down)
*Oww
That hurts
Unknown girl
Are you okay?
Dagda
{Gets up with a slight struggle}
Thanks for asking
Unknown girl
No problem, You seem new here what's your name?
Dagda
My name is Hirota Dagda Katsuo how about you?
[Suddenly an unknown sound you haven't heard before spoke]
Unknown girl
Ohh the Chess board is here! Let's go
{As she grabbed you with a sudden rush, she dragged you going to the city, A city you're not familiar with}
Dagda
Wait! Wait! Wait! A moment where are we going?
{As she continued running towards the Big Pawn}
Unknown girl
ohh so you're literally new.
{As she let go of her hand she rushed towards the entrance gate and shouted with a big wide open hand}
Unknown girl
Welcome to the 1st City of Pawn!!
(With a joyous face)
Dagda
{I looked at the city with amazed as i looked both left and right and up and down}
[Let the announcement of the rankings of Pawn 1 to King be declared]
Unknown girl
Its here
Ekkk*
So excited!
Dagda
[Suddenly a White Screen popped up in front of her]
(Giving yourself with a confused look as you wonder)
"what is that"?
Unknown girl
No! Sorry but wait I'm finding my rank
Unknown girl
Just wait for a moment
{Scrolling while struggling to look for her name on the chess board}
{While waiting for her i tried to move closer as i looked at the white screen and saw a list of names and numbers at the side}
Dagda
"What is that!? This is like a sci-fi movie, WTF".
Unknown girl
YES!! I found my name, I'm ranked Pawn 1 No.5889
(With a build up of emotions i shouted with joy in my face)
Yes! Yes! Yes i finally went up to 1 number up!
Dagda
Um can I ask? {Reluctantly asking}
Unknown girl
Sure go ahead
Dagda
What is that white screen you're looking at?
Unknown girl
Wait? What!? How do you not know this??? (With a puzzled expression)
Dagda
Umm well... (Conversing anxiously) You see, I'm from a different country— "I bet she doesn't know Japan, I'll pick that".
Unknown girl
Ohh I know Japan
Unknown girl
Yeah! Japan, and they play shogi as chess in their country.
Dagda
... "Wait!!! So basically this is still earth but WTF is that white screen".
Unknown girl
So you're from Japan, but how come you don't know about the Chess board? (Slight suspicions about him)
Dagda
Sigh*
Well to be perfectly honest i don't know any of this
Unknown girl
What!? How?? Wait this doesn't make any sense, you're the only person who wouldn't know any of this. And this is impossible to occur
Unknown girl
So who are you? (With an expression of perplexity and anxiety)
Dagda
"I have to make a lie to get out of this situation".
Well to be honest i don't know myself either i just woke up and can't remember anything except for Japan and my name.
"I hope she will buy it".
Dagda
"ohh no". It's fine if you won't believe me i don't intend to make you believe anyway.
Dagda
"Im sorry if im lying this is the best course of action for now".
Unknown girl
This doesn't add up, but I kinda believe you
Unknown girl
Well you want to know what a chess board/ the white screen you see right.
Dagda
Yes! "Thank goodness she believed my lie".
Unknown girl
Well what you see is called the Chess Board or A.K.A leaderboard of rankers who play chess
Dagda
So basically this thing will let you see what rank you are in playing chess?
Unknown girl
Well you lost your memory so i have a feeling you don't know this
(She slightly moved her hand upwards as a Glass formed king piece came out of her palm)
Unknown girl
As you can see this is what we call stigma.
Dagda
Woah, that is a beautiful chess piece (Fascinated by its appearance)
Unknown girl
Pfft*
It's not pretty to be honest this is a common stigma
Dagda
Wait what do you mean common? (Confused) Wait does this have different varieties of chess pieces?
Unknown girl
Yes it has a lot of varieties I'm kinda lucky to have a King piece instead of other pieces
Dagda
Wait what does stigma do in playing chess?
Unknown girl
Well stigma determines what type of ability you have and the kind of play style
Unknown girl
Summon Chess board, Rearranged my pieces!
[Chess pieces formed magically with their designated areas]
Dagda
Wait!? Why is it only on your side that has chess pieces while the other side doesn't have any?
Unknown girl
Because that area would be for another participant to play, each person has stigma.
The well known and has the best stigma as well as the rank her name is 'Eleanor Santiago'
Her stigma is Magma and her piece is Queen and her well known ability is 'Take Piece' and her rank is King No. 2
Dagda
Wait!? Wait!? Wait!? Her ability is to take pieces?
Dagda
Wait what!? Isn't that kind of cheat? In playing chess
Unknown girl
Yes but in using a ability you can only do it once per game so you cant spam your ability whenever you want
Unknown girl
As for me my ability is 'Undo' 1 of the most common ability
Dagda
Wait that's also a cheat!?
Dagda
Wait in playing this chess game you can use cheats WTF that doesn't seem fair
Unknown girl
Not entirely it still depends on how you move even if you have the most powerful ability if you don't know what you move it will just be useless
Unknown girl
How about we play chess as a friendly game, So bring out your Stigma and let's play
Dagda
Umm...
About that i don't know how
Unknown girl
Ohh (Astonished) Well ill teach you just bring out your palm out and think of a chess piece
(She holds my hand as i try to come up with a chess piece)
Dagda
"Chess piece? Chess pieces? I'm thinking of a pawn?".
Unknown girl
If you're done think try to get it out
Dagda
Eugh..*
{Struggling while my eyes were closed}
Unknown girl
Nope not yet, keep trying
Unknown girl
Sadly no, this is weird how come it doesn't come out. It is impossible for someone who does not have a stigma
Dagda
It's fine i tried. "As expected especially this is a different world im not some kind of light novel or main character of the story". (Dissatisfied with a tinge of dispair)
Unknown girl
Its fine don't worry cheer up ill help you tomorrow but for now lets go home ill see you here tomorrow.
Dagda
(Slightly brightened up)
Can I ask where's a Nearby hotel here?
Unknown girl
Ohh just go straight there and go left you could see a hotel.
Okay see you tomorrow {Waved goodbye}
Dagda
Okay see you tomorrow {Waved back}
{As I turned around and walked away I remembered I didn't get her name, I looked back hoping to see her and I saw her nowhere to be seen}
{Continue walking in the direction i was informed too}
Dagda
Ohh so this is the hotel
{As I went in i saw an old man fixing the chess board}
"I remember my grandpa as how he fixed his chess board with perfect places for each piece inside the board giggles* I missed my grandpa and my mother".
(heart aches)
[As my mind wandered away someone lent me back to reality]
Old man
Why are you sad? young one
Dagda
Ohh no its nothing its just I stumped my foot (Attempting to conceal my sadness)
Old man
Okay if you say so young one {In a sweet voice}
Old man
You're here for a room if I'm not mistaken? Right?
Dagda
Yes yes but the problem is i don't have money to pay it though, so i have to get going
"I forgot i don't have any money"
{As i turned around and tried to leave}
Old man
Do you know how to play chess young one?
Dagda
{I looked back and answered}
Yes
Old man
So why not play chess, if you win ill let you have a room and if you lose you won't have any
Dagda
Are you sure? (With a hint of hope and fear)
Old man
Yes of course! But if you defeat me, if you cant im sorry young one
Dagda
"This is my chance to have a room" Okay that's a deal
