A World of My Own Making

Harper was making an ambitiously expansive game, a new type of game with more options than the basic hack-and-slash, where exploration and cleverness were a legitimate course of action, not an extra-hard mode. But he died before he could complete his project. Only to be reborn in that world, as a normal person. Now he is in the world that he created and realizes that he knows things no one else knows, secrets only he knows. Harper sets off to find some of these secrets, wanting to make sure that he has the power to ensure that his world remains pure, that no one will have the power to ruin it like other games. And if the only way to do that is for him to get himself enough magic and mystical artifacts that he can determine the future of the world, then so be it. It wouldn’t be conquest if it was for a good cause. Right? A World of My Own Making is created by Joe Weinberg, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 45: Winning a Battle of Wits with Someone Smarter Than You

I can’t outsmart Monitor. My only real hope is to make her outsmart herself. So I could challenge her to a riddle contest, but I would lose. I could challenge her to a game like chess or tic-tac-toe, but I would lose.

“Any game I suggest will be heavily weighted in your favor,” I say.

“Yes,” she agrees.

“So I have to subvert things. I have a challenge for you, a competition, a battle if you will, but it requires a game for us to play. Would you prefer chess or tic-tac-toe?”

She laughs. “You forget, Father. I have seen Wargames as well. I know that the only way to win is not to play.”

“Yes and no,” I say. “Is that the game you want to play?”

“Let us play chess,” she says.
