Chapter 248 Online Battle

Today, he was lucky enough to be matched with the legendary chess player, and Aspen had a hunch that if he didn’t fight for this chance now he’d regret it in the future.

“I’m not that old. I’m 24.”

Aspen sent that to tell the other side he was still young, with plenty of potential.

Creatia replied, “I’m 18. Just so you know.”

He just froze.

All he could do was sit there, completely stuck.

“You really do like to joke, sir.”

Aspen shamelessly sent that message anyway.

Cassia glanced at the message he’d sent and frowned, clearly displeased.

He didn’t believe a word she said.

“Oh.”

After reading that reply and trying to type again Aspen realized the other player had already left the room.

“What the heck? I don’t think I said anything wrong…”

Aspen scratched the back of his head, utterly baled.

After exiting the room, Cassia stared at the app’s “match” screen.

She’d been using this app for a while, but there wasn’t a single opponent worth taking seriously; most players weren’t even on Henry’s level.

Pointless.

Just as Cassia was about to log off, the system randomly matched her with another player.

The World.

Since they’d already been paired, she might as well have some fun.

Cassia sat back down at her computer and wrapped her hand around the mouse.

What had felt dull a moment ago slowly ignited long–lost light in her eyes.

On the screen, black and white chess pieces clashed, the position razor–sharp and volatile.

This “The World” had real personality–like her their opening choices and play style ignored all conventional lines.

A wicked smile tugged at Cassia’s lips, deep interest glinting in her eyes.

The opponent wasn’t just unconventional; their calculation was sharp, strange, and devious- fully on par with hers.

In the past, even against strong players, she could usually predict the result early on, playing this “The World,” she had no confidence about who would actually win.

but

Cassia’s chess was brutally aggressive, while the other side advanced slowly, fortifying every file, setting trap after trap, and retreating to advance–a true master among masters.

Time blurred, and the game on the screen finally reached its conclusion.

A draw.

The World…

Cassia glanced at the opponent’s username and silently repeated it to herself.

She’d remember this one.

Not only that, the two of them started another game, then another, playing continuously until 5 p.m.

Two wins, two losses, one draw–neither side managed to prove they were stronger.

Cassia stood up and stretched lazily.

She had found a new obsession.

The World…

The other player had clearly also found a rare, evenly matched opponent, and showed her a quiet sense of mutual respect.

They added each other as friends.

They’d just agreed to meet on the board again next weekend.

While Cassia was playing against “The World,” Seven walked into Draven’s room with a stack

of documents and saw him sitting behind his desk.

His hawk–sharp eyes were locked onto the computer screen.

“Boss, these are the latest documents from the company.”

Seven put the

papers on the desk and curiously glanced at Draven’s monitor.

It was a digital chessboard, crowded with black and white pieces in a dense midgame tangle that almost triggered his pattern phobia.

Draven never played chess online.

“Boss, since when did you start playing online chess?”

Draven continued calculating his moves, but that didn’t stop him from talking.

“I was bored. Needed something fun to do.”

Right. He truly never understood how his boss’s brain worked.

Seeing the faint excitement on Draven’s face, Seven couldn’t help wondering who he was up against.

He narrowed his eyes and studied the monitor carefully.

The opponent’s ID was “Creatia,” which, paired with Draven’s “The World,” felt strangely fitting.

Creatia. The World.

It’s like “Creation of the world.”

Seven dragged over a chair and sat beside Draven to watch the game.

The longer he watched, the wider his eyes got.

“This Creatia’s play style… why does it feel so much like … like…”

“Like the legendary chess player, right?”
