CHAPTER 59 - “The Calm Before the Real Board
City Grand Nexus – the massive plaza of intersecting glass towers and bridges – had fallen into a tense stillness after Ryu’s confrontation with his younger self. The explosions, smoke, and chaos from earlier battles had settled, leaving shattered glass bridges, toppled barricades, and flickering energy arcs. Yet this calm was deceptive. Every corner, every piece of debris, every echo of wind felt loaded with a latent threat, like the city itself was holding its breath. Ryu stood at the center of a cracked glass bridge, the faint arcs of silver-black energy still trailing from his gloves. His eyes scanned the horizon, absorbing every detail. Unlike before, his focus was not just tactical; he was analyzing the environment as if reading a chessboard where each building, each street, each shattered pillar could act as a potential piece. Lyra, Kael, and Elira had positioned themselves strategically around him. Lyra crouched atop a broken pillar on the west side, her binoculars sweeping
CHAPTER 60 - When Worlds Collide
City Grand Nexus Plaza was submerged in silence. What had been a battlefield until yesterday now looked like a jungle of shattered glass and broken steel beams. Smoke was slowly dispersing into the air, but in that calm atmosphere, an unusual pressure was felt—as if something was holding itself back, ready to explode. Ryu stood calmly in the center of a shattered glass bridge. The faint silver-black arcs from his gloves still cut through the air. His face was stone-calm, but his eyes had the same sharp observation glint that always appeared when he was analyzing a new board. Kael stood a little distance away, watching the last batch of evacuated civilians. His heavy armor was still coated with dust and dried blood. He looked toward Ryu and spoke in a low tone. “The calm feels deceptive. Something is wrong.” Lyra sat atop a broken pillar, casually spinning her dagger, her eyes carrying the same suspicious glint. She lifted her binoculars and said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
CHAPTER 61 – The Fractured Board
The sky above Grand Nexus shimmered with cracks, giant blue and golden rifts splitting reality into jagged fragments. The air itself seemed unstable, like someone had disturbed the very pattern of existence. Shards of both the game world and the real world floated, twisting mid-air. A medieval tower hung upside down beside a neon-lit office building, and shattered glass bridges dangled above cobblestone streets. Ryu stood at the center of a collapsed plaza, his boots crunching broken glass, and silver-black arcs flickering faintly from his gloves. The remnants of the battlefield from yesterday lay scattered like the pieces of a forgotten chessboard. Smoke still rose from ruptured streets, mixing with digital sparks that floated lazily in the warped air. Kael crouched beside a fragment of a destroyed wall, scanning the horizon. His armor was dusty and dented, streaked with dried blood, but his posture was alert, every movement precise. “This calm… it’s deceptive,” Kael muttered, g
CHAPTER 62 – The New Chessboard
The South Quadrant of Grand Nexus now looked like a shattered battlefield. Medieval stone streets and modern asphalt roads were glitching together, as if someone had forcibly merged two separate worlds. Digital sparks and dust mixed in the air. Ryu stood near a broken fountain, his gloves leaving faint silver-black arcs in the air. Lyra perched on a rooftop, scanning the entire zone with her binoculars. Kael was on the ground, standing by with his shield ready, and Elira guided evacuated civilians toward a safe zone in a corner. Lyra raised an eyebrow as she observed through her binoculars. “Ryu, that same squad is visible again in the South Quadrant. But this time their formation is even more organized.” Kael adjusted his shield and spoke in a serious tone. “They are clearly following your old strategist patterns. Every move seems calculated.” Elira came closer to Ryu and asked softly. “Do you think they are becoming a counter to your tactics?” Ryu spoke calmly and sha
CHAPTER 63 – The Testing of Trust
The South Quadrant of Grand Nexus had become a strange hybrid of shattered civilization and broken battlegrounds. Stone streets glitched into modern asphalt, and the neon signs of the upper towers flickered in strange harmony with the ancient brick archways. The air carried a mix of dust and digital sparks, suspended like microstars caught between two worlds. Ryu stood on a collapsed bridge, his gloves faintly leaving silver-black arcs in the air. Lyra perched on a rooftop above, scanning the streets with binoculars, every subtle twitch of her head calculating angles and trajectories. Kael’s heavy armor gleamed faintly in the broken streetlights, his shield held ready as he positioned near a cluster of civilians. Elira guided the more vulnerable out of harm’s way, her healer staff glowing faintly in the fractured light. Lyra’s voice crackled over the communicator, sharp and cautious. “Ryu… squad is moving again. They’ve split. Left flank is tightening, but center and rear are sti
CHAPTER 64 – The First Betrayal
Night was slowly spreading over the camp. The light of the bonfire fell on shattered stone walls, and digital sparks were still slowly drifting in the air. The giant rift in the sky glimmered gradually, as if a great storm was preparing. Ryu stood at the center of the camp with a calm expression, near a broken pillar. His glove faintly glowed, but his attention was on a small holographic map tracking the camp’s movements. Lyra sat on a crate, her eyes narrowed and her dagger spinning in her hand. Kael sat near his armor, polishing his shield, and Elira was in the healer tent checking civilians’ wounds. Lyra approached Ryu and said in a low tone. “Ryu… something feels wrong. Two rogue alliance members are suspiciously moving around the food crates.” Ryu replied calmly without taking his eyes off the map. “Observe.” Lyra said with slight irritation. “I never like your trust-based experiments. These people are clearly planning something.” Kael gripped his shield and adde
Chapter 65– The Gathering Shadows
Night had fully settled over the shattered camp. Bonfire light flickered across broken walls, casting long, wavering shadows that danced like restless spirits. The air was tense, carrying a faint metallic scent mixed with the electric pulse of the sky rift. Even after the rogue leader’s return, not everyone in the camp had relaxed. Suspicion still lingered. Ryu stood in the center of the camp, calm expression on his face, faint glow pulsing from his glove. His eyes moved across the assembled pieces of his board—Lyra, Kael, Elira, and now the returned rogue leader, who had quietly taken position near the supply tent. Each of them held a different tension, a different awareness of the danger that still lingered. Lyra perched atop a crate, dagger spinning idly between her fingers, though her eyes constantly scanned the perimeter. “I still don’t trust her,” she said softly, voice tense. “Just because she surrendered doesn’t mean she’s loyal. Someone this experienced can’t change over
Chapter 66 – The Shadow’s Move
Evening in the abandoned city’s shattered streets carried a cold wind. Digital moss shimmered on the buildings, and the rift in the sky was slowly widening, as if a giant wound was gradually opening. Ryu stood under a broken archway, calm expression on his face. His glove pulsed faintly, but his face remained completely composed. Lyra sat atop a broken wall, scanning ahead with binoculars. Kael was handling the rear guard, and Elira was marking possible safe routes for civilians with her healer supplies. The assassin, now with Ryu, stood silently in a corner observing everything. Lyra came to Ryu slightly frustrated and said. “Are you sure we should waste time stopping here? This entire zone feels like a giant trap.” Kael added in a serious tone. “Lyra is right. After the rogue alliance’s betrayal we are already at risk.” Elira looked softly at Ryu, her tone worried. “What do you feel? Your glove is pulsing again.” Ryu said calmly and firmly. “Every shadow on the boar
Chapter 67 – “The Strategist’s Trap”
The camp was restless. Soldiers were patrolling the perimeter, civilians huddled in healer tents, and the faint blue and golden glow of the unstable rift flickered across the shattered walls. Ryu stood near a broken pillar, his glove faintly pulsing. His calm expression masked a sharp focus as he studied the patterns of the shadows emerging in the outskirts of the camp. Lyra approached him, concern laced in her tone. “Ryu… I don’t like this. The strategist isn’t done. The hologram was a warning, not just a message. He’s setting something up.” Kael adjusted his shield and nodded seriously. “Every move he makes seems designed to test your trust system. He’s pushing your pieces, literally and metaphorically.” Elira softly placed her hand on Ryu’s shoulder. “Your glove pulse… it’s not Memory Resonance yet. But whatever he’s sending, it’s reaching you. You feel it, don’t you?” Ryu’s calm gaze remained on the horizon where the rift widened. “Every signal, every move, is a pie
Chapter 68 – “The Controlled Knight
Morning stirred activity in the camp. Civilians were being shifted to healer tents and soldiers were hurriedly readying their weapons. The rift in the sky had become even more unstable—neon blue and golden streaks blending into each other. Ryu stood in the center of the camp with a calm expression, his glove faintly glowing. Lyra stood by a crate, scanning the East Barricade with binoculars. Her tone was tense. “Ryu… something is happening at the East Barricade. We received an emergency flare from there.” Kael adjusted his shield and said in a serious tone. “A heavily armored fighter has been spotted there. He is pushing back our squad.” Elira packed her healer supplies and spoke in a worried tone. “Do you think the strategist sent some new hired fighter?” Lyra looked more clearly through the binoculars and shouted in shock. “Wait… that is our own knight! Ryu, this is the same knight you saved in Arc 1!” Kael said in shock and serious tone. “He was your loyal knight
