*The next morning*
Mina: Are you done packing, Shi?
Shi: I'm done, mom. I'm ready to go!
Mina: Ok. Do you still remember the infinite storage spell that I taught you?
Shi: Yeah.
Mina:
*nonchalanty takes a map out from nowhere*
So here's a map of the world. Every single important location such as dungeons, or places with powerful enemies are marked on the map and will change in real-time if they ever move.
Shi: Mom... isn't this extremely valuable?
Mina: Oh it is. I killed "The Wise Man" for it. Don't let the name fool you, It wasn't a man but instead a 20 story tall lizard with a hat that said "WISE". It was really weird.
But Shi, I entrust these items to you because you are my son. I have raised you, and trained you to become strong.
Shi: But.. why me? Surely there were other children that you saved in the forest that were better than me in some way.
Mina: There were none. You were the only child I found alive in that forest.
Shi: (Wow that's dark.)
On the day that I found you, I saw that you had potential. The potential to one day become as powerful or even more powerful than me.
I have outlived my life and my legacy is over. I have become a living legend.
*smirks boastfully while trying to contain laughter*
*calms down*
So work hard, son. Don't worry, I don't expect you to follow in my footsteps. So just live your life to fullest and have fun, ok?
Shi: *sobs* Yes ma'am! *salutes*
Mina: We're not in the army you know. Hahaha
Here are some coins to start you off.
Shi: Thanks mom. Well, off I go!
*Uses magic to enhance physical abilities*
*starts running at a ridiculous speed toward the nearest town*

*runs through the Shi no Mori, a jungle, and some plains*
(This town is farther than I thought.)
*Mina suddenly teleports in front of Shi*
Mina: Hey son! *waves*
*Shi stops immediately*
Shi: Mom? What are you doing here?
(I didn't know she could teleport! Wtf. She didn't teach me!)
Mina: I forgot to teach you about how currencies work so here I am!
Shi: I thought you couldn't leave the forest alone?
Mina: Oh I can. I left some clones of me to take care of things.
Shi: Then why can't you go with me?
Mina: Because i'm busy.
Shi: Busy!? Doing what!? If your clones can do everything then what could you be busy with?
Mina: Sleeping.
Shi: *sighs* Well? Teach me.
Mina: Ok. So first of all, the Platinum is the most valuable currency, then Gold, Silver, Copper. 1 Plat is 100 gold, 1 gold is 100 silver, 1 silver is 100 copper. An inn costs around 50 Copper coins - 1 Silver coin a night depending on how good the inn is. Food for an entire day is about the same. Don't waste your coins on things you don't need even if you have a lot. And don't just nonchalantly pull out a platinum coin when you want to buy a piece of bread, ok? Start with something expensive, like a weapon of some sort, so you can get some gold as change.
Shi: I got it. So I shouldn't run around and just show my coins to anyone cause that will cause thieves and bandits to attack me, right?
Mina: That's a great idea! Lure them with the money and annihilate them!
*sadistic laugh*
*coughs* ahem.
Well i'm going now. Byeee
*teleports*
Shi: Mom sure is out of control. Haha
(I want to teleport too ;-; But I guess mom wanted me to experience traveling the world on my own two feet.)
Well, It's time to resume the journey!

8 138Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
