Gasp!
Mark gasped in shock as he felt a new wave of fresh air entering his lungs, and he looked around him in shock at the new schat hewas surrounded by. Mark was inside an abandoned building that had seen far better days. The roofwas broken, sothere was some moonlightfiltering into the building.The walls on one side had arge holein it, and the other sideswere crackedin many ces.
There was debris and broken furniture all around the house, and the sound of crows and ravens was the only thing prevalent in the house.

Mark read through everything that this system gave him quickly, and he couldn''t stop his brow from squeezing together in confusion as he saw the part about him being a pawn.Mark did not know how to feel about being called a pawn,neither did he know how tofebout doing everythingthathis master told him to do.
But the system said that it would choose a master for him at random.
Why wouldn''t they give him the chance tochoosefor himself?If he wasgoing to beobeying someone''smands for the entire duration of this game, then he at least wanted it to be somehathe could tolerate.Mark did not know how he would feel ifit was someone like Szar whowas chosen from his world.He would probably just kill that bastard himself in anger.
No, the system wouldn''t do that.Theysaidtheywould choose someonehewas highlypatible with. So it''s more likely that it wouldchoosesomeone likeArit,or maybe even Pat. Yeah, Ijusthave to hopethat itdoesn''tchooseanyone stupid.
Mark was sitting on some broken rocks and leaning back on a broken b of rock that had cracked off from the ceiling and embedded itself in the ground. His hands were resting on another broken piece of rock on the side.
Mark scrolled through the many rules and regtions,andhewondered what sort of buffs the other chess pieces received.
Assuming this twisted game wasactuallyfollowing the rulesand ithadn''t introduced new chess pieces that didn''t exist back on Earth, Mark could only assume that the other chess pieces were the king, queen, rook, knight, and bishop. What sort of boosts did these other pieces receive, and whatsortofdebuffs did they get in exchange? Mark wished he could get those from his system.
In his debuffs, the system said that Mark was not getting anymajorboosts to his stats. Does that meanthat theother pieces received somesort ofboost to their stats? That was so fucking unfair. Here I have to listen to everything some random motherfucker says, and the others are enjoying themselves with no forcedmands as well as boosts from their chess sses.
Isn''t this somesort ofglitch in the game!?
Thisisbasicallyvery! Give me booststoo!
[No.]
Mark rolled his eyes at the cheeky attitude from his system and just went back to the tabs that were open in front of him. The best thing about his ss was the familiar that he gained. Mark hummed as he thought about how he should call on his familiar. Should hejustsay –
"Familiar."
Whip!
p! p! p!
"Wiik! Wiik! Wiik!"
Mark tilted his head to the side as a strange bat-looking creature suddenly appearedin front ofhim.
