SlightlySane

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

As Octavius and Void surveyed their surroundings, they were met with a gruesome sight: the ground was strewn with numerous bodies, some of them contestants, others... unclear. The air was heavy with the putrid stench of blood and death.

"We didn't even get to know why she was attacking us," Octavius muttered with concern.

[Isn't it obvious?] Void asked. [This isn't a competition, it's an execution]."

Void's ears perked up, his head cocked to one side as he listened intently. Octavius instinctively turned, his eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of movement.

Footsteps echoed through the air, growing louder with each passing moment. Instinctively, Octavius's hand moved to the dagger he had taken from the girl who had attacked him earlier. His eyes narrowed as he braced himself for the unknown threat.
