Chess players have no future in Indonesia!

That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. 

However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say,

"Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

"Hello, everyone, we are here currently with the new rising star from Indonesia, the man who just beat the Iranian grandmaster Idani Pouya earlier, Adrian Sheva!" Sagar Shah introduced him pretty quickly, and honestly, if Sheva were not that nervous, he would have been flattered to be called the new rising star from Indonesia by the Indian man. "First of all, congratulations on your fantastic win. Please, tell us how you feel right now."
