A chessboard?
Mo Fan immediately looked around as far as he could see.
The huge tiles did resemble a chessboard laid into the ground.
If it is a chessboard, where are the pieces?
An eerie red light shone down on Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya while he was confused.
Mo Fan exchanged glances with Asha'ruiya. Asha'ruiya seemed to know what Mo Fan was going to ask. She announced with a grim smile, "We...we are the pieces!"

"This is the Chessboard of Slaughter. I now understand why we are not allowed to move backward." Asha'ruiya's face remained pale.
"What does it have anything to do with the chessboard?" Mo Fan asked her.
If you're wondering why Mo Fan and Ash are two tiles apart... I have no clue. Bishops and Knights are next to one another on a chessboard. Also, ten times the size of a soccer field (vs as big as ten soccer fields) would mean each tile is 400m wide x 1000 long. The Dark Swordmaster would be K/Q/B away from him, and thus either 1200 m or 3k m away, not 6 km. The only thing I can think of is maybe the chessboard is twice as many tiles wide as normal, and the peices are placed every other tile?
