God Gambit

The Strange God

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: Sorry, everyone.

Shadowboard's Crimson Gambit

Vauxhall Academy stands as the world's most prestigious institution for the intellectually gifted, where only the most brilliant minds are invited to walk its hallowed halls. When eighteen-year-old Caulthier Radcliffe receives an unexpected transfer to this legendary school, he discovers that academic excellence is merely the entry fee to a far more sinister curriculum. Every student must participate in the Academy's sacred tradition—an elaborate chess-like game called Shadowboard that has been played for generations, with rules so complex they border on the mystical. The game is woven into the very fabric of the school's identity, treated with religious reverence by faculty and students alike. What begins as an intellectual challenge soon reveals layers of mystery that run deeper than the Academy's ancient foundations. The ornate game pieces seem to pulse with an otherworldly energy, and the board itself appears to shift and change when no one is watching. As Caulthier delves deeper into the game's intricate strategies and the school's carefully guarded history, he begins to sense that something far more dangerous lurks beneath the surface of this supposedly noble competition. The other students speak in hushed whispers about past champions who simply vanished, and the portraits lining the halls seem to watch with knowing, sorrowful eyes, as if they hold secrets that could shatter everything Caulthier thought he understood about his new home.
