Chapter 1 The One True Gamer

"How come that nobody wants to play with the lower ranks? Is it because we are all just at the bottom of the ranks and nobody wants to go back and face a low-rank loser like me?"

Kai asks to play with his friend Ram. Ram was a low rank too but she didn't have the talent like Kai.

Kai may be a low rank but he can sure play chess, checker, video games, and many more games out there.

Ram always wanted to be like him but she could never reach him.

Kai would always have the talent to play any game he comes across to but that due to him going to a top rank school in Troy and that is Alpha.

Alpha is one of the top-rank schools for gamers all around and due to nobody knowing Kai they thought he would be an easy target but never judge a book by its cover.

Alpha was first born from one of the first high-rank gamers in history but some of them had died off due to them losing their pieces.

Most of the gamers were from different worlds and most of them were pretty cute in Kai's eyes but even he knows that there was something up with the different races in their world.

The humans may have all the knowledge about the world but the other races like the angels, Demi-foxes, elves, and dwarfs.

And finally, it's us humans that is last on the race broad but we always have something that they didn't have and that was the hope of defeating a god in a game.

It has never been done before and today was Kai's start to that journey when he finishes from being at the bottom and being at the top of the ranks.

The only reason that probably makes Kai care about the ranking is probably the living places.

Besides, that Kai didn't care about the ranks. The only thing he cares about was the games and having fun at a never single moment when you are playing the game.

The morning of the first day of entering Alpha school ground and Kai was feeling proud and calm and can't wait to see.

Ram, his friend was beside him and she was nervous and playing against the highest stronger player in the whole world of Troy.

Ram was nervous and she pointed at a picture of Kyir. A demi-fox and she was rank six at Alpha.

"I can't believe we are here." Ram was most excited about this.

"Calm yourself and keep a low head." Kai was cooler and less excited about coming here.

"Can you believe that we both got in the same Academy and we start our new future here?"

"It not a big deal."

"You can only decide everything when you at the top of the ranks. You can control anybody at your dipoles."

"Yeah, all that sounds good but you should keep your expectation low."

"Yeah, yeah."

Ram and Kai were walking up the steps and then they walk through the large gates and they were there and they notice that they weren't the only ones that is new to the school.

"Are we the only humans here?"

Ram was worry but yes, they were the only humans that got in and the other races had more than five all but the dwarfs and they had one come in.

"This isn't funny."

"Nothing is Ram."

Kai walks forward toward the door of where they are being shown around.

Ram soon walk with him after freaking out so much.

"So why did they let us in this school because we have a low rank. Well, time will tell if that the reason but I don't want to worry about it while Ram is enjoying it."

Kai had some questions but he smiles and just let Ram have her fun.

They made it to the door.

"Welcome, students to Alpha." The school director said

Ram couldn't hold back her excitement.

"Here at Alpha, we help you become the best student and gamer in the world of Troy and when you leave from here. You will have the knowledge of becoming a top rank gamer."

"Look there, Kai," Ram said

She pointed at a demi-fox and she was a prodigy most called her and she could be in the top 20 if she wanted to.

"A prodigy huh?"

Kai was not impressed.

She looks over and Kai didn't look away and she would turn her head away and she would just look digest.

"Well, I do like her tail," Kai said

"Oh really."

"Yeah."

Kai looks again and he sees that it wasn't Ram but the school director.

"Oh, sorry their mister."

"Scott, and don't forget it either."

"Yes sir."

Everyone laughs and director Scott had taken them to their dorms and told them to meet him tomorrow for the ceremony and the beginning of their young future.

Kai was in the room with one of the elves and he looks more like a girl than a boy.

"Hey there, I Kai, and your name are."

"I don't talk to low rankers' pal."

"Oh, so what if I beat you in a game of chance then and then will you tell me your name."

The elf smile and said, "bring it on. Low rank."

Kai got his cards out of his bag and he was clearing the deck of cards.

"What you got? Any card."

The elf wanted to pick a card but he wanted to see what he going to do first.

Kai was done and he put down the cards and he had spread them out and he had one card that had a crisp at the top right corner and he noticed that.

"What is he trying to pull here?"

The elf was holding back and thinking of what he trying to pull.

"What are you an idiot?"

"You can say that but I going to make you look once and if you can find it then you can boss me around for the whole four years I here."

"And if I lose."

"Then you follow all my commands."

"Okay, I accept your deal."

They shake on it and then the room starts to glitch and the room had turned blue and it looks like a starry night sky and they were in the game zone.

"Let's begin."

They said and Kai had a card in his hand and show it to the elf and it the king of diamonds.

"Okay that it."

Kai makes it disappear and the cards all floated in the air and they had relocated and the card with the crisp on the top right corner was still there and its moves to the end of the tablet.

"What are you going to do now?"

Kai didn't smile but he was enjoying himself too much.

"Dammit, what should I do. I know that bastard much had done something to these cards but I can't put my mind on it."

While the elf was having trouble solving it. Kai was just seating and looking at the card with the crisp.

The elf was thinking of pulling it and when he tries. Kai smile and he decides not to pull it.

And then he thought about which hand it was in and it was in his left hand and so it on the left side of the tablet.

He could have gone off that tip only but he had to think more about it because this card can hold his future and he could be a doormat toward a low ranker.

Dammit, what should I do, pull a card on the right side or the left or just pull the card with the crisp?

He was sweating and Kai asks him.

"You did yet."

"No."

His heart was beating fast and he was tired and he would hold his forehead and hold his ears but that was just the beginning of what you could say a person that is out of options and he pulls a random card and he closes his eyes.

He pulls the card with the crisp on it and he thought he got it but it the ace of spades.

"I lost the game."

"You did lose."

"Wait, can I have a rematch."

"Nope, you lost and you going to do what I say and the first thing I want you to do is."

"No, my life is over. Sorry mother I couldn't make it."

"Become my friend."

"What?"

He was surprised by his answer.

"What you don't want to befriend."

"No, it isn't that I just surprise that all but I glad that you didn't have me opening doors for you or clean your laundry."

"Don't worry about that I won't do that to nobody. That is good for nobody and I just want to have do you want to have fun playing games."

"Having fun."

"You never thought of it that way before having you."

"No, I haven't but you did make it stressful."

"What you talking about? You could pull any card and it would be the king of diamonds."

"What?" He flips over all the cards and he said, "Wow."

"I make you look stupid but don't worry. You, not the only one I did that to but you are the first elf though."

"I see. It all about having fun."

He smiles and shakes Kai's hand again and he told Kai his name.

"My name is Zeifon."

They smile together and they play all night and they hope to see what the next day will bring them.
