The Game

Prologue : Pixit's Speech

Part 1:

     In the human capital city: "Hendra", in the great hall of the Palace, in the middle of a large crowd, there were... two players... Everyone was watching that game cautiously. It was a very important chess match, one to decide the next king of humanity !

The first player - using white pieces - was a blue haired teenager boy with quite big red eyes. He was wearing a simple red T-shirt and normal jeans. His messy hair was hiding his troubled expression, thus he was probably losing, but he still had the confidence to win... It was his turn to play so he just moved his sole and last pawn to advance willing to retrieve his lost queen.

On the other hand was playing a young boy appearing to be around 12 years old. He had shoulder length red hair and a pair of glasses hiding his big yellowish eyes. He wore a red sleeved yellow T-shirt and blue shorts; He also had a bag that he kept close... He grinned to his opponent's move and took his queen (the black queen) to simply capture the last white pawn. While doing so he said :"That's it... Checkmate !" - What ? How could you ?! you had only pawns at the beginning ... so how come ?"

     The last to speak was Moka (the white holder), while the other player was named Pixit... The game began with Moka having all 16 pieces whereas Pixit offered a handicap that consisted of removing all pieces except pawns and the king... After a brief silence Pixit resumed:
 - As I said before: Whites start the game whereas Blacks end it.
 - ...
 - You lost because you lowered your guard after I gave myself that huge handicap, and you only realized it too late to return the game.
 - Okay, ok ... I admit defeat, so stop explaining. What was the bet again...

    That was when Moka froze remembering his bet on that match. And that Pixit didn't only put the Kingdom at stake but also the opponent's freedom... Hence Moka became Pixit's slave. He became pale and fell out of despair.

    The current king "Dordokwif" who had seen the entire game (he also was the cause of all this) declared is a high voice: "It seems to be decided ! Pixit, you are henceforth the new king of humanity... Congratulations."

    Hearing these words, Pixit's older sister "Shiina" woke up from her shock and surprise for her brother's sudden win : "Eh ?! You won ? You won that game ?! You did it !! Otôto !" And thus she jumped to hug him.
 - Onee-chan~ I can't breath ...
 - You can breath later ! <3

*Side note: Otôto = little brother*
*Onee-chan = older sister*

Part 2

     In the end the result of that game was Pixit becoming the new king and Moka becoming his slave. And so Dordokwif took them on a tour around the Palace that will become their new home. He had previously decided to guide the next king thinking of himself not worthy of, and incapable of ruling the kingdom, though he was the most knowledgeable human about the current situation... Suddenly Pixit asked:
 - Old man, what are those rumors I heard about races or something of the kind ?!
 - Otôto !! That's not a way to speak to the king.
 - I am the king now !
     Dordokwif laughed a little over that discussion and then said:
 - So young man, don't you know anything about the races ?
 - Yes, I came from another world after all !
 - Otôto ~~ (Shiina)
 - I see...

     So the former king took a deep breath and began explaining to the siblings :
 - In this world there are 12 different races, ruling different places, speaking languages, and most importantly: having different levels of magic power. They are often classed by that last parameter as: Lumanas, Angels, Dragons, Fairies, Elves, Mechas, Demons, Vampires, Kitties, Wallies, Nounourses and finally us Humans...
 - "Magic power ?" asked Pixit
 - Yes, the only race unable to use magic is humanity, and that is why we are now on a critical situation.
 - Interesting...
     Pixit began thinking about Dordokwif's words, and he started sparkling:
 - Old man, what are those "Nounourses" ?
 - They are cute creatures that resembles little bears, they are about 50 cm long at most and their only magic is one to float in the air.
 - They are also very weak and their favorite food is honey. You can simply refer to them as "The most miserable and useless race"... affirmed Moka with a dead face.
 - I never allowed you to speak. Said Pixit.
 - Otôto don't be mean... 

    After finishing that tour, Dordokwif explained to Pixit his new duties and everything he needed to know. He also pointed out the miserable state the Kingdom suffered from due to his incompetence and he finished with informing him about his speech the next day in front of almost all free humans. Due to that Pixit thought of it a little, and just went to sleep careless of what awaits him.

Part 3

    "Today, The dawn of a new era has come. The magic hierarchy has come to an end. The eternal war humans have always lost will turn around. And for that, we will use the only tool we have: our brains. Because other races have magic they are less apt using their minds... In other words that's their weak point and our strong one !
     As of Today I'll be the new King, and thus I'll change many things beginning with rules:
 - First, any conflict should be settled by a game, mainly to avoid violence but also to develop human intelligence.
 - Second, the challenged party can choose the game. Rules have to be agreed on before the start, or else there will be no rule...
 - Third, the game's bet and outcome is absolute no matter what you sacrificed.
 - Fourth, any cheating in a game or refusal of giving the bet will be punished according to its gravity and importance.
 - Fifth and last, may the best win!"

     Those were Pixit's words in front of a large crowd that came to hear his speech as the king... Most of them didn't believe him and found no sense in his words. Moka at his left whispered to him : "You should now talk about yourself". So, accepting the advice, Pixit proceeded :

     "Now, my duty as the king is to make these rules respected by all. And I decided to conquer some other country because... well... our country is so small...
     Also, starting today, i'll add a new rank right before the king that will be: Onee-chan of The King!" and he pointed out his sister at his right.

     Everyone started laughing including Dordokwif after realizing that Pixit, even if he seems grown up sometimes, he is still a kid in the inside... And thus they applauded him and approved of him as their King.
