Born frail in body and dismissed by the world as insignificant, Lucien Voss grows up learning a cruel truth early in life: strength invites resistance, but intelligence invites surrender. Mocked, ignored, and underestimated, Lucien survives not by fighting back—but by observing, calculating, and remembering. Behind his quiet demeanor lies a mind capable of dismantling systems, predicting human behavior, and turning chaos into opportunity. While others chase power through force, Lucien builds it through information, manipulation, and flawless strategy. Every insult becomes data. Every loss, a lesson. Every human weakness, a tool. As society spirals through political unrest, corporate greed, and moral decay, Lucien positions himself not as a hero nor a villain—but as an inevitable outcome. Allies rise believing they lead, enemies fall without realizing they were ever opposed, and empires shift hands without a single battle being fought. What begins as a story of survival slowly transforms into one of domination. Lucien does not conquer nations with armies or weapons—he conquers minds. And by the time the world recognizes his influence, it is already living by his design.

[Prequel to Checkmate, scheduled to come out late 2025] City Z has a reputation of being the center of ability users in all of Asia, as well as being the homebase of many organisations. Amongst those is Roses; a rising organisation founded by a small group of friends and led by a girl with a seemingly easy going personality. Kang Seojun who had recently turned 20 came face to face with a problem he had been avoiding until the same issue was raised by his younger brother, and that is what is their future going to be? Seeing his friends having their lives planned out, he realised apart from doing whatever his parents wanted, he had never made a decision of his own. In the midst of his dilemma, the leader of Roses approached him with an opportunity to work for them for 3 months, a trial period. The question is, what will this 3 months do for him? Will he find a reason to stay permanently? Will he return to university? And will he, be able to see a future carved out by himself?

Elias Ward never wanted to stand out. Quiet, observant, and emotionally distant, he enters Checkmate Academy—a prestigious institution where the highest-performing students in the nation are sent to become future leaders, strategists, and political influencers. But the academy is not what it claims to be. There are no normal classes. No teachers in the usual sense. No freedom. Students are placed into a hierarchy and ranked based on one thing: Their ability to read, deceive, and control others. From the moment Elias steps into Classroom 1-A, he realizes every student is already playing a hidden game—one of intrigue, alliances, betrayal, and manipulation. Trust is currency. Secrets are weapons. Every conversation is a test. Their first assignment is simple: > Write the name of the person you trust the least. The results determine who stays—and who disappears. As the academy introduces psychological trials, outdoor strategic events, and social warfare disguised as teamwork, the students quickly learn: You don’t survive here by being strong. You survive by staying unreadable. Elias, who has spent his entire life watching quietly from the shadows, finds himself at the center of the board—not as a pawn, but a player no one expected. But someone else is watching him too. Someone who already knows his past. Someone who believes Elias is not here by accident. And in Checkmate Academy… > Every move is a trap. Every ally is a risk. Every step is part of the game. The only question is— Who will deliver the final checkmate?

Every winter, the Harvest comes—reaping the brightest, strongest, and poorest from the ashes of a broken world. Cael never planned to be chosen. He only wanted to protect his sister, survive Ashspire, and stay forgotten. But when he wakes inside the arena, branded with the glowing black insignia of a Pawn, survival becomes a game he never agreed to play. The rules are cruel. The arena is alive. And the only way out... is through. Thirty-two players. Sixteen per side. Kings to protect. Queens to fear. Each quadrant is a biome of genetically engineered monsters and elemental chaos. The audience watches from the shadows—silent, rich, and betting on blood. Above the Pawns stand the Major Pieces—Kings, Queens, Bishops, Rooks, and Knights—each injected with experimental serums, each awakening terrifying new powers. But Cael isn’t like the others. His instincts are too sharp. His movements, too precise. And when the team’s Queen falls, he'll face the impossible choice: Stay a piece on their board— Or break the whole damn game.
