Chereads / Two Stack: A DOTA 2 Story / Chapter 7 - Chessboard

Chapter 7 - Chessboard

"Beastmaster and Pugna, go push middle and bottom lane."

Damian Cheng ordered as he and two other heroes dealt with the onslaught of the whole enemy team with three other heroes.

Pugna's Nether Blasts at the middle lane and Karroch, the Beastmaster slashing the bottom lane tower alongside his trusty wild boar.

"Oh, your middle tower. No mate, don't even look at it. It is brutal what they have done."

"Oh, your bottom tower just passed mate. Yeah, I am sorry for your loss."

The announcer's called for the destruction of the towers as Damian Cheng called for his teammates' retreat.

Slowly the team poked at the enemy, using the fog of war they took out their opponents one by one until the words RADIANT VICTORY showed up.

A pair of feminine hands took of Damian Cheng's headset from his ears, it startled Damian Cheng who was immersed in the bliss of victory.

Before he could turn his head, a young lady's face appeared in front of his eyes.

Her black ponytail swayed with every movement, while her black pearly eyes glistened from the light of the computer screen.

She opened her mouth, causing a sweet voice reminiscent of an angle to travel around the room.

"Having fun?" She asked Damian Cheng with a smile.

"Big sis, why are you in here?" Damian Cheng asked back in confusion.

Once more that angelic voice echoed within the room as she told Damian Cheng: "I haven't played chess with you for quite a while, want to have a game?"

Without another word, Damian Cheng clicked the red glowing exit button and quitted the game.

He stood up from his chair and said "Let's go."

As he left the room, his sister grinned from ear to ear revealing her pearly white teeth.

Both of them sat down and started placing the chess pieces on the board. Black and White tiles are filled with the various beautifully crafted pieces of chess.

As usual, the player with the white chess starts first, this means Damian Cheng made the first move.

He took the white pawn and moved it forward and ended his turn.

Move by move, the pair of siblings traded pieces of chess to get the upper hand in this battle of intelligence.

"I win" Damian Cheng said with a smile.

His sister laughed in disbelief, how could she lost so quickly, she asked herself.

Then her eyes focused onto Damian Cheng's smile, her laughter turned happier as she told him.

"You always smile when you win at something you enjoy."

Damian Cheng gave her a weird look as if saying should I cry when I lose, but quickly hid it.

She then continued, "Looks like you found something enjoyable that you could play with friends."

"DotA? Yes, I had some fun even when I'm losing with my friends." Damian Cheng said as he started keeping the chess pieces on the board.

Seeing this his sister stood up from her seat and told him. :"Somebody wanted to play another game other than chess."

Damian Cheng froze up when he notices his actions, he let out a hollow laugh and awkwardly asked his sister to sit back down.

Instead, his sister pulled him back up and pushed him towards his room. "It is not every day that you want to play something else other than chess."

The screen slowly turned bright and the arrow clicked on DotA2.

"Don't worry about it, when you found something fun then keep on playing it."
