The Phantom’s Gambit
Octavius, misled by friends, embarks on a quest to clear his father's name, ultimately facing a tragic end with his sister.
Their journey results in devastating loss, leaving him powerless and yearning for revenge against those who harmed his family.
Spirits offer him a chance to reincarnate, but he refuses, saying;
“What’s the point of a new life if I keep running from my problems”
The entities are taken aback by his unwavering determination, having never encountered a spirit who refuses to escape their troubled past. They warn him about the evil being that now resides in his old body, but that only motivates him. He believed In the saying - to defeat a monster, you have to be twice as monstrous.
Embracing his fate as The Phantom's Gambit, they traverse the shadowy path of retribution, their identities blur, secrets unravel, and the line between savior and monster fades.
This is a tale of darkness and redemption, where justice is a blade, and revenge is the only way forward.
Rating 5 stars cause why not🙂↕️ I have very few words, and it’s about the book tittle. When I say “Phantom’s Gambit”, this is what I mean (Check the image below. And… this is a random fiction creation from my scattered weird thoughts. But if it appeals to you, do hold on tight.
Personally, I think Octavius doesn't carry the position of MC well enough. But I guess that's what character-building is meant for But I like the way Void makes up for what he lacks. And if Void hasn't me around… I can't help but wonder how he would have gone about his revenge. 🙂 It’s a good one…really, hoping this doesn't flop or stop.
Void is my spirit animal 😂 love the story direction and dialogues... I'm hooked.. Gimme more
Here before the book goes global👋🏻 I like the premise It’s new and original And I love Void’s banter Can't wait to hop on any challenge of “Void once said…” cause I’m going to start with “you let your parents name you that” or “you poorly written NPC”😭✋🏻 This might change in the future since every chapter has a new line that gets stuck in my head 😂

"You haven't smashed on either side?!---- Are you celibate?!! 🤣🤣🤣Void is hilarious. I like how you're mixing Octavios' past line behaviour with Voids slang from the future. Bro doesn't even know what 'fuck' is. 🤣🤭 This book is good pls continue with the 3rd POV don't change from it. Also try to describe the environs more vividly. You're trying with the main characters' expressions and emotions, keep it up.👍👍
I'm not saying this to encourage others to read your book, but I want to express this to you. This book is amazing hence the 5star rating. But please try and write despite any hassle you come across. I have a feeling it will do well in the webnovel app. It has the potential. I’ll gift you a magic castle each time you get to a hundredth chapter. I hope that motivates you to keep going. Because a lot of book that has great potential has stopped midway. But I see good potential here and it would be a waste to stop halfway and never knowing how far you would have gone if you didn't stop. PS- I’m #Teamvoid btw😌
