Chapter 19: Difference
People on the subway, confused, reached out to each other, trying to grasp the new reality. They asked about the system windows, the classes—what the hell was happening? Confusion spread fast, but everyone was short on time.
Chaewon was just as lost. She stared at the screen, shock rippling through her eyes.
These are the same classes Ace used in his chess game! Is that just a coincidence?
Deep down, Chaewon knew it wasn’t a coincidence. As in Ace’s games, she chose the Queen class.
[You have chosen a Queen Class.]
[Stats have been updated.]
[Received: Queen’s Starter Kit—a katana, 3× small potion, War‑Forged Necklace]
The items appeared out of thin air. Chaewon grabbed the sheathed katana, then caught three small red potions and a black War‑Forged necklace.
On her left, Ace snatched his gear and stuffed it into his pockets. She copied him right away.
An invisible wave swept through the car, darkening the walls and twisting the sleek metal into battered, wood‑paneled coaches. The subway had turned into an antique train for no clear reason.
