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 decision, 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.

The Phantom’s Gambit

"What's going on? Why are we out here?" Octavius asked, eyeing Void's focused expression as he swept their surroundings.

Void didn't respond. Instead, he continued his search, his gaze darting around the environment.

"Fine, I'm off," Octavius said, turning to leave when Void didn't sayanhthing. "We have Skill Aptitude classes, and I don't want to miss that. I'm starting to enjoy Miss Wilmort's classes."

[Figured you'd want to intervene, ] Void said, not bothering to look up. [One of the guys who killed your sister is hitting on Amy.]

Octavius, who was already walking away, stopped dead in his tracks, his feet rooted to the spot as he turned to face Void. "What are you talking about?"

[While your brain might be going through some utter chaos, I want to believe it hasn't affected your ability to hear fine, ]

Octavius rolled his eyes and shoved his hands into his pockets. "How did you know about that?" he raised another question.
