The Gambit’s Legacy: Killed by chess and Lived by chess

One day, after years of war, The United Kingdom and Russia suffered devastating losses. In an effort to end the bloodshed, they agreed on a final match—a chess game to decide the victor. London chose Caius Albright to represent them against Russia’s Ivan Dragovich, a renowned grandmaster. But tragedy struck. Caius, known as “The England King,” lost the match and was shot on the spot by Russian forces. His death shattered the Albright family, leaving them impoverished and scattered across London. Ten years later, Caius’ youngest son, Elias Albright, faced constant humiliation and defeat in chess battle. But after being ridiculed for one too many losses, Elias challenged his opponent for a rematch—and won. With the prize money, he managed to buy food for himself. From that day forward, he vowed to master chess and use it to free London from Russian rule. As Elias honed his skills, he met allies who would help him on his journey. Slowly but surely, he began to reunite with the remnants of his family, who had been scattered across London after their father’s death. Another decade passed, and the time finally came for Elias to face Russia in the ultimate match. Billed as “The Reborn England King” vs. Viktor Petrov, “The Russian King,” the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Once friends, Elias and Viktor now stood on opposite sides of the board, locked in a high-stakes deathmatch where the loser would be executed, and the winner would claim freedom for their nation.

What Fate Has Brought

This is a story about me. Where we begin the story, I have no name. There is nothing in my memories of love. There has only ever been fear. Alpha. Omega. Beta. The three sub genders after the standard Male and Female. The world I live in there was also a hierarchy between each sub gender except for Betas. Betas would be the normal, everyday, average human. The majority of the gender society. They are not affected by pheromones, and their own are not strong enough to affect others. Betas, like the other two sub genders, can be male or female. When you get to Alphas, you have dominant Alphas and Alphas that are closer to Beta in behavior, called submissive Alphas. Dominant Alphas are more possessive, stronger, and a tad faster than a submissive one. That does not mean that the submissive Alphas are a push over. They just tend to be more on the quieter side. However, no matter the hierarchy, get two Alphas together that are fighting over dominance and the submissive can be just as dangerous as the dominate. Alphas in general are the ruling class now. They are the CEOs, lawyers, world leaders, even the most of the sport professionals and actors. This brings us to Omegas. The lowest class. Though times have changed, the old ways of looking down towards Omegas, is still very much everywhere you look. Omegas who were once only caged and leashed by their respective Alpha as an item and nothing more; are now allowed to work and go to school. The schools still tend to keep Omegas separate from the Alphas to prevent accidents from happening and most places of employment would rather hire an Alpha or Beta. Omegas tend to not usually have a dominant gene in their body, making them easy targets for the illegal trade. The world slangs them as Breeders. Oh, did I mention that the males, who are very rare, can also get pregnant? *Please note I may have uploaded this on my old account under a different name here but no longer have access to that account. I am rewriting this story and more. *

Novus Mundi (Second Try, didn't publish everything)

At the dawn of a new era, on the verge of the industrial revolution, the world was on the brink of great discoveries and changes. But, while scientists and explorers were pushing the boundaries of their countries and the possibilities of technology, one continent remained hidden, shrouded in mystery and legends. This newly discovered continent, known among intellectuals as 'Novus Mundi', became the last refuge for those eager for wealth, power, and discovery. From all corners of the world, people with different skills, hopes, and dreams headed towards Novus Mundi, driven by tales of unexplored riches and wonders. As newcomers arrived with advanced tools and knowledge of machines, led by the early stages of the industrial revolution, they were not prepared for what they found. Novus Mundi was not only home to unexplored natural beauties and resources but also a world of magic and mysteries. The natives of this continent, wise in ancient arts and in harmony with nature, wielded magic in ways that technologically advanced strangers could scarcely imagine. The island was home not only to people who lived in harmony with nature, using magic for everyday life, but also to wondrous creatures that legends depicted as myths. Novus Mundi was a world where magic and science collided and intertwined. The conflict and cooperation between colonizers and natives, technology and magic, became the foundation for new stories, legends, and conflicts. While some sought ways to exploit the continent's resources, others sought understanding and harmony between the two worlds. Through this conflict and cooperation, Novus Mundi became a living stage for adventures, discoveries, and, above all, a new chapter in human history. The Black Tree waits for no one. --------------------------------------------------------- English is my fourth language, sorry if my writing is sometimes unconventional.
