Mud Chess: Chen Ming's Story

From the start, Chen Ming's life is a disaster, and he discovers that everyone at his school is playing with a toy called “Mud Chess.”

Each ugly little chess piece costs five yuan. Once you buy one and go to sleep, you can explore different secret worlds.

You can adventure alone, join a five-person party, or take part in a fifteen-person team expedition. The possibilities are endless.

A classmate buys Chen Ming a piece, and he begins his own adventures in the secret worlds.

This is a short story written to get back into the swing of things.

I've gone around in circles and changed the premise many times.

I've made some bold experiments with the plot structure and content, and I hope to offer readers a fresh experience.

The full story is expected to be a little over 100,000 characters, making it the first short story in the Mud Chess series.

Since it's experimental, the whole story is free, and it will be completed quickly.

If I'm lucky enough to have readers find and enjoy this book, I'll be genuinely happy.

(The story is categorized as no romance because it takes place when the protagonist and his friends are children. I'm also looking forward to seeing how their relationships develop when they grow into independent adults.)

Theme: A new life, emerging from the cocoon like a butterfly.
