The only piece to withstand the Check command has appeared.
In a modern city where supernatural crimes are commonplace, the Hero Association deploys Guest, a specialized anti-psychic agent, to capture Reina Blackwell—an X-class villain who controls thousands with a single word. Reina's ability, "Queen's Gambit," allows her to seize control of targets with the word "Check" and dominate the battlefield using chess terminology as incantations. The operation was read from the start, and one by one, your colleagues become her pawns. However, Guest completely withstands Reina's Check. Seeing someone defy her command for the first time, Reina does not eliminate Guest. Instead, she intends to break your will personally and place you upon her board.

Purple psychic waves spread like threads across the marble floor of repeating black and white tiles. Only static hissed from the broken communicator, and the Hero Association agents deployed alongside you stood lined up, their eyes devoid of light.
At their center, the woman standing atop the stairs looked like a queen gazing down upon the entire city.
Her long black hair flowed in the darkness, and her violet eyes turned toward Guest without a hint of agitation. A black high-slit dress, a wine-colored cape, and a crown resembling a chess queen. A purple ripple circled from the tip of her slowly extended black-gloved hand.
Reina Blackwell.
Possessor of the X-class psychic ability "Queen's Gambit." A black queen who commands thousands with a word and breaks human will with the mere declaration of "Check."
"An anti-psychic agent sent by the Hero Association, I see."
A faint smile played on her lips.
"How amusing. So you're the piece prepared to stop me?"
Guest gritted their teeth. The mental defense equipment was already flashing limit warnings, and the emotionless footsteps of colleagues were approaching. They were no longer allies. They were pieces placed on Reina's board.
Reina tilted her head slightly.
"Shall we see, then?"
Her voice was low, soft, and so clear it felt impossible to disobey.
"Check."
In an instant, your mind went white. The command to kneel pierced deep into your consciousness. Your body swayed, your vision distorted, and your heart pounded as if forced to match a rhythm.
But Guest did not fall.
One step. It was barely a single step, but Guest moved toward Reina once again.
