Throughout human history, the concept of games has held a certain level of power over humanity. Crossing the gap between victory and defeat can sway a heart from joy to anger and then misery or vice-versa and has done so from the dawn of the Olympics in Rome all the way to the modern day.
In said modern day, however, things have changed, man's tools have turned from stone to card stock. And from that card stock, the drama and lure of a game lives on.All Rights Reserved

Lust for Power by amai-lason

About some guy, some magic, drama, bullying, puberty etc2 Sersly its about the internal conflicts alienation brings from being a bit different, about the corruption that strength or power brings, and the mess you could end up with when you lose control of emotions. Note: This is a story I wrote probably half a decade ago, as part of a competition a friend of mine coaxed me into joining, I wrote it up to chapter 1, but I fell in love with story and decided to continue writing it, i got stuck towards the end, then i was able to finish it a few years later, indirectly due to my lil sis who isn't really my lil sis anymore now, its a story i'll cover in something I call Blood & Water.

TEAM ÁLFA [S2] by E1Hera

More often than not, expectations shatter like glass, what you give your all to may still fall short. What seems clear at first glance may only be a mask. Smiles hide sharp intentions, the softest voices echo with lies. The quiet ones plot, the gentle ones deceive. We're all just pieces on a board, each with a role to play. But only those who master the mind, move in silence, and strike with thought will ever win this game. Because that's how it's always been. Not fair. Not kind. Just real.

Of Kings and Aces by ClaireMonday2468

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision. For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior. Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other. One night. One game. One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events. One goal: to protect their king. ♤♡♧♢
