The deadly game of chess continued.
Every single decision the teenage boy made held so much weight because a life was at stake.
He didn't even notice the beads of sweat streaming down on the side of his face as he looked at the board.
Many of his pieces had already been eliminated. The outcome was expected as he had to balance the safety of his lovers with winning against his opponent.
The other party was not a pushover and knew full well how to attack and defend.
And now, Thirteen found himself stuck in a dilemma.
He had a way to checkmate the enemy, but it required him to sacrifice either Princess Xynalia or Sherry.
If he could only stop the timer, he would've done it just to cuss his opponent.
The positioning forced him to make a difficult choice. If he didn't make the move inside of his head, he would be "checkmated" within two moves.
