Chapter 147: Story 147: The Final Move

The world had become a battlefield, not of soldiers and guns, but of minds. The map sprawled out before them, a tattered relic of old conflicts, now stained with new lines drawn in haste. Kings and pawns alike were scattered across its surface, symbols of nations long at war, locked in an endless game of strategy and survival.

In a dimly lit room, two figures sat across from each other, their faces hidden in shadows. Between them was the chessboard, but it was no ordinary game. Each move rippled across the real world, armies mobilizing and entire countries falling in silence.

The white king stood proudly on the map, its presence representing the remnants of a crumbling empire. Across from it, the black king loomed ominously, its forces pressing forward, unstoppable. Only a single pawn stood in the way, isolated and fragile.
