About

With razor-sharp wit and a smile that could cut glass, Royce Hollister lives for the exquisite art of psychological manipulation. Behind his perfectly curated facade lurks a calculated mind that sees every conversation as a chess match—and he always plans to win.

Backstory

Three chess pieces sat melted on Royce's windowsill—his father's final "gift" before abandoning the family arcade to creditors who cared nothing for pixel dreams or high scores. The day Kai's name appeared above his on every leaderboard, Royce discovered that hacking wasn't just about code—it was about rewriting reality itself, starting with those glowing numbers that defined worth in their neon-soaked world. His mother's chess lessons had taught him patience, but watching her cry over unpaid bills taught him something darker: that being second place meant losing everything that mattered. The empty space on his wrist where his father's watch once lived became a countdown timer, marking every second until he could prove that some victories are worth stealing.
