I was invited to an online game of chess. Now I'm in the void with a god helping create a world...By playing chess.

[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/468064/a-game-of-chess A Game of Chess]] is a Comedy/Slice of Life fic written in 12th May 2020 by Vongola Famiglia. It's currently in-progress.

It's about the protagonist, a guy named Cory being called into a Void dimension by a PhysicalGoddess named [[CrystalDragonJesus Faust]] to play a CosmicChessGame in order to develop the world.

!! A Game of Chess contains examples of:
* TheAntiGod: Cory and Faust seem to be equal and opposites.
* CosmicChessGame: The story follows the one between [[GodOfGood Faust]] and [[GodOfEvil Cory]] in the form of very complicated chess.
* DarkIsEvil / LightIsGood: Darkness is chosen as the power of Evil while Light is chosen as the power of good. A weird example in that the roles are not explicitly explained as inherent as it implies they're interchangeable, simply assigned their morality for the sake of the CosmicChessGame.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Cory, who became a GodOfEvil by agreeing to play with Faust.
* DesignatedHero / DesignatedVillain: Faust asigned the roles of Good and Evil to herself and Cory respectively without so much as consulting him and neither of their personalities really match their roles, it's worth noting neither of them care, see LackOfEmpathy bellow.
* GodOfGood / GodOfEvil: Faust and Cory take these roles for the game.
--->'''Faust:''' "When you agreed to play you did more than became a obstacle for my ponies. You became a god."
--->'''Cory:''' "So I'm a GodOfEvil and darkness to your ponies?"
--->'''Faust:''' "Technically yes. As I am the GodOfGood and light to them. Though I'm sure that means nothing to us."
* GoneHorriblyRight: Tuns out Cory, the person Faust chose for the GodOfEvil role, is a ''much'' better player than she thought.
* LackOfEmpathy: Cory's lack of reaction to learning that he's now a GodOfEvil is surprisingly "Go with the flow"ish and he doesn't seem to care much about the suffering and death he's causing.
* VillainProtagonist: The fic follows the perspective of [[DesignatedVillain Cory]] who, while not as evil as ponies believe him to be, does have some LackOfEmpathy problems.
