Chapter 12: A New World
Xiao Qiangwei knows that not anyone would just talk about this subject, and even less people knew about him and the siblings, this makes it easier to know who it could be, the person knows Japanese, but he or she is not in Japan.
So either it could be an emigrant which is good in japanese and hacking, or like he thought, it's from another world.
He knew that a big possibility could be the latter, he himself was a soul from another entire universe, so there may be a nearby world with supernatural events.
While he was thinking about the email, Sora and Shiro found a URL under their message, they too were surprised from the knowledge of the sender.
Sora: Hey Qiangwei, check this out…
Xiao Qiangwei put back the phone in his pocket and turned to Sora and Shiro, they received the same message, but there was a link under it unlike at his message.
Xiao Qiangwei: Click on it… This person is not simple…
Sora gulped while Shiro concentrated on the link, they knew a bit about Xiao Qiangwei too since they were friends for 4 consecutive years, when he is serious about something, then there is something wrong with that thing, since he was always disinterested in many things.
Sora moved the mouse on the link, and clicked it, the computer was loading a website, and in some seconds, it opened…
...Showing a simple online chess…
Shiro: …
Sora: …
Xiao Qiangwei: …
Shiro: ..*Yawn* ...Good night…
Sora: Wait, wait, wait! This may be an advanced chess program! I can't win alone!
Shiro: ...There is still Wei…
Sora turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, before he sighed.
Sora: Alright… Qiangwei, could you do it?
Xiao Qiangwei: Why not?
Xiao Qiangwei crouched down and started to move the mouse.
Chess should be a game of limited decisions. This should be a game where Luck was non-existent… But…
Xiao Qiangwei already made 5 random moves, which became 10, 15, 20, soon, half of the enemy's pieces were eliminated…
Somehow, Xiao Qiangwei's luck transcend that concept, it is like he was the protagonist of a OP Main Character novel, chess… Cards… Race games… RPG… Strategy… Somehow, his luck is able to greatly affect all these games…
This is a mystery that Sora and Shiro never figure out, no matter what he did, Xiao Qiangwei never had a bad moment in his life.
Every time that Xiao Qiangwei's luck made his magic, Sora and Shiro could just watch with shock the things that should be normally random moves, be something that only Shiro could comprehend the way of victory.
And that was something that couldn't just be said like that, since she was able to defeat the best computer program at chess for 20 consecutive times.
But it was not enough…
Sora: Wait a moment… Hey Shiro, we need your help…
Xiao Qiangwei: Something's wrong?
Sora: Yeah, he seems to have completely changed the moment you killed all the pawns…
Shiro stood up and walked to the screen, Xiao Qiangwei had 13 pieces while the opponent had only 8, but with their position, they could easily wipe out Xiao Qiangwei.
Then he, Sora and Shiro, played all together, with Shiro telling him the best moves he could use in certain moments while Sora detected the opponent's traps, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei just clicked randomly when there was nothing to do.
1 hour passed… 1 hour they needed to finish this,『 』finally won, 3 years ago, Xiao Qiangwei officially joined the 『 』, so he was present in online events when he didn't have anything to do.
In the screen, there was a text which was read out aloud from a emotionless voice from the speakers.
"Checkmate"
Xiao Qiangwei, Shiro and Sora just watched the screen blankly, then Sora turned towards Xiao Qiangwei.
Sora: I still don't get it how you can do it…
Shiro nodded in agreement. Suddenly another mail notification could be heard, but this time it came only from the computer.
Sora: Hey, maybe this email just now is from the opponent, try opening it.
Xiao Qiangwei: Aye…
Xiao Qiangwei clicked the message, and read whatever it was written in.
"Well done. With that kind of ability, I am sure you find living in this world to be painful?"
Silence filled the room… Memories surfaced in the brothers' minds, and Sora got angry so he furiously typed a message.
"None of your business! Who the hell are you anyways?"
But before he could even think about something, another message came.
"What do you guys think about this world? Is it interesting? Is it a place that can make you guys feel at ease?"
Sora's anger vanished and made eye contact with his sister, before saying in the void.
Sora/Shiro: It's a shitty game…
They had many sort of reasons that they hated this world, from their parents to their social life.
Sora: 'Still… Qiangwei has a better life than us…'
Sora and Shiro curiously looked towards Xiao Qiangwei, and flinched immediately when they saw his face, it was for the first time in 17 years, that Xiao Qiangwei had killing intent flashing across his eyes, he had a poker face, but was thinking…
Xiao Qiangwei: 'this world… It's too damn limiting… I can't do anything without being targeted from a fucking army or shit for myQi… I can't even leave… I don't know IF I can leave…'
Xiao Qiangwei had still that itch to hit something, but this time it was stronger, which became the killing intent coming from his eyes.
Shiro: ...Wei…
Xiao Qiangwei immediately snapped out from his thoughts and the killing intent vanished, then he looked at Sora and Shiro, who were far away from him, trembling, he caressed his own head while closing his eyes and smiling.
Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry guys… It's just that I have some things from my own past…
Sora and Shiro calmed down, and sighed in relief, then they continued to read the email.
"What if a world where everything was decided by a simple game existed… A world where the objectives and rules were clear, a world on top of a game board, what do you think?"
Xiao Qiangwei didn't care much about such world, but Sora and Shiro laughed and the older brother began typing on the keyboard.
"If that kind of world actually does exist, then that really does mean that we were born into the wrong world."
After he typed the letter, Xiao Qiangwei's eyes widened, he could sense something coming from the computer, which gave a sound like a circuit breaker overloading.
Sora and Shiro panicked and looked around the room, which was starting to crack, while Xiao Qiangwei stood up and tried to sense the other party, but he froze on the spot when he sensed the level at which he stood.
This was the level of someone who had reached the early stage of the Heaven-Defying Core Realm… he couldn't possibly beat someone like that.
Then, from the screen of the computer, a voice could be heard.
?: I also think the same. You three were born into the wrong world.
Suddenly a pair of white hands appeared from the screen.
Shiro: Wha-!
Sora: Hiiii!
Xiao Qiangwei: What the hell?!
Suddenly, their vision was filled with a blinding white light, forcing their eyes to close. And when they opened again, Sora and Shiro noticed the light from the sun, burning their retinas, but Xiao Qiangwei was not affected from this and looked down, noticing that they were falling from the sky.
They were pretty high, but he was sure that he could survive if he would fly, and since this was a supernatural world, from what he is looking at, he may be finally free to use his powers without many questions from spectators.
Then, he noticed the amount of Qi around him, it was almost like the same level of the one from the Higher World, but he could still access it, then Sora and Shiro came to their senses and their pupils adjusted, then they noticed that they were in the sky too.
Sora: What the hell is thiiiiiis!
Shiro: Kyaaaaaa!
?: Welcome to my world!
Xiao Qiangwei, Sora and Shiro turned towards the source of the voice, and found a boy with a red hoodie and a chartreuse shirt, he had blue shorts and a beret, he had a small red heart below his right eye, his right pupil had a diamond while at his left had a spade, and the symbol of the clubs is in yellow on his hat.
He was emanating great powers, no… It was the crystal that he had near him that emitted great powers, but it didn't hurt Xiao Qiangwei at all.
?: This is the Utopia that you guys dreamed of, the world on top of a game board, Disboard. Everything here is decided by a game, even one's life and country borders!
Shiro tried to shout, but it came out only as a murmur.
Shiro: ...Who are you…?
?: Hmm, in your world you might call me God, right?
Then the kid placed his index finger on his cheek.
Sora: This isn't the time for that! We're falling towards the ground at a really fast speed, whoaaaah! Shiro! Qiangwei!
Sora hugged Shiro and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with a worried look, but he had a blank look and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: Fuck this shit…
Then before he could do anything, the self-proclaimed god said with an happy tone.
?: I look forward to seeing you again. Yes, without a doubt, it won't be long.
And then Sora and Shiro's consciousness blacked out, but Xiao Qiangwei was still awake, he just looked at the 'God', who was looking back with a surprised gaze and sighed, then he picked up Sora and Shiro and started to fly towards the ground, but safely.
The self-proclaimed god was shocked from what Xiao Qiangwei was capable, he didn't have any idea about cultivators or what might be out from this universe, so he didn't knew about what Xiao Qiangwei could do.
When they reached the ground, he left Sora and Shiro in the ground then he looked at the boy with narrowed eyes.
Xiao Qiangwei: Who are you?
The boy was gazing back with a sharp gaze.
?: I would say the same thing… How did you do it? No human should have magic, or whatever the thing inside you is…
Xiao Qiangwei: You are the one who took all 3 of us away from our world, you should answer first.
?: *Sigh* That's true, well, like I said before, I am God, but you can call me Tet.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, Tet… Explain…
Tet: Alright!
Tet sounded cheerful, completely opposite from what he looked like seconds ago.
Tet: I summoned you 3 from your old world because I was bored.
Xiao Qiangwei looked at Tet like an idiot, there was a limit to everything, but doing something like this just because you are too bored it's incredibly stupid.
Tet: In this world there are 10 rules, even called 10 Pledges.
Xiao Qiangwei: 10 Pledges?
Tet: Yes…
1st. All murder, war, and robbery is forbidden in this world.
2nd. All conflict in this world will be resolved through games.
3rd. In games, each player will bet something that they agree is of equal value.
4th As long as it doesn't violate the pledge 3, anything may be bet, and any game may be played.
5th. The challenged party had the right to decide the rules of the game.
6th. Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.
7th. Conflicts between groups will be conducted by designated representatives with absolute authority.
8th. Being caught cheating during a game is grounds for an instant loss.
9th. In the name of God, the previous rules may never be changed.
10th. Let's all have fun and play together!
Xiao Qiangwei: Wait wait wait! So I can't punch anything?!
Tet: If you want to fight, you can do it only if you are fighting someone outside from the Exceed, which are 16 races in this world.
Xiao Qiangwei: ...So I can kill anyone outside those so called Exceed?
Tet: Yeah.
Xiao Qiangwei: Sweet… I missed fighting strong opponents…
Tet: So, can you answer me? What are you?
Xiao Qiangwei smirked and answered with…
Xiao Qiangwei: I'm a human, just with some tricks…
Tet was disappointed from the simple answer that he gave him, but let it pass.
Tet: Alright, then we will meet another time…
Tet disappeared, surprising Xiao Qiangwei, it seems he could even teleport.
Then he turned back and looked at Sora and Shiro, who were in the floor sleeping together, and sighed.
