A Chess Grandmaster preparing for the biggest match of his life never imagined that his world would end before the first move was played. Serin woke up as an illegitimate prince in a foreign world where gods are real, empires, kingdoms, and religions, and mages are vying for power and influence in the continent. With no magic talent or powerful backing, Serin has only one thing he can truly trust: the mind he honed through years of high-level chess. The Chess Grandmaster must use his knowledge, advantages, and specific skills to navigate such a world while adapting to the new reality. — What To Expect — • MC - Cautious, rational, pragmatic. Willing to adapt, discover and learn. A Chess Grandmaster from earth with the mentality of a champion and a winner. • A weak to Strong Progression Fantasy - The MC grows as a person, in influence and in raw strength. With him, other characters grow as well. There will be Character development. • No harem - There is a romantic subplot ln the midst of the story, no harem. But the MC may have multiple lovers, relationships, just not at the same time. • Kingdom Building politics - The Kingdom Building in this story is less focused on management and more focused on conquest, political intrigue and expansion. • A Grounded Fantasy - This is a high Fantasy, but a grounded one. There is magic, monsters and Gods but in a way that is restrained to rules. This world has a hybrid power system. • Story - It is very much character based in the beginning with action coming in as it progresses. • GameLit/System - There are minor GameLit and system elements also present in the story, however they are not the core of it, very minimal.
