The black and white chess pieces transformed into two dragons, one black and one white, battling fiercely in the center of the chessboard.
Dragon roars echoed, and in a flash, the chessboard seemed to evolve into a small world—sky darkened, ground gloomy, the battle relentless and unending.
The moment the token was released, the battling black and white dragons suddenly entwined and merged into one.
The dragon spiraled, and space instantly fell silent.
From the void came a humming vibration, as if a gateway had been opened.
A crack appeared in the void before him.
Xu Zimei followed the fissure and stepped through, his figure disappearing from the arbor.
...…
His body seemed weightless in the void, after several falls.
The space before Xu Zimei began to twist and warp, and soon after, the scene changed, and he found himself inside a loft.
Upon entering, Xu Zimei immediately felt countless gazes landing on him.
