A host game

It was a dark and stormy night in Ahmedabad, India, and Shiva and Manisha had just finished setting up for their first ever ghost hunting expedition. They were both amateur paranormal investigators with a passion for all things spooky, and had been planning this trip for months. They had heard rumors of a haunted mansion on the outskirts of the city, and they were determined to investigate.

As they entered the mansion, they felt a chill run down their spines. The air was thick with an ominous energy, and they both knew that they were not alone. They began to explore the mansion, searching for any signs of paranormal activity.

It wasn't long before they started experiencing strange occurrences. Doors would slam shut on their own, and they heard footsteps coming from empty rooms. They could feel a presence watching them, and they knew that they were being followed.

Shiva and Manisha decided to set up their equipment to try and capture some evidence of the paranormal activity. They had brought with them a variety of tools, including an EMF meter, a thermal camera, and a digital recorder.

As they were setting up their equipment, they heard a blood-curdling scream coming from upstairs. They immediately rushed to investigate, and as they climbed the stairs, they felt a sudden drop in temperature. The air around them was freezing, and they could see their breath in front of them.

When they reached the top of the stairs, they found themselves in a room that was completely empty, except for a strange board game in the center of the room. The game was covered in dust, and it looked ancient.

Shiva and Manisha approached the game cautiously, not knowing what to expect. As they looked closer, they realized that the game was called "The Core Game of Ghosts." They had never heard of it before, but it looked like it had been around for centuries.

Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from the game. It was a ghostly voice, and it spoke in a language that they didn't understand. But they could tell that the voice was angry, and it seemed to be directing its anger towards them.

Shiva and Manisha decided to play the game, hoping to communicate with the spirits and figure out what was going on. As they began to play, they felt a sudden surge of energy coursing through their bodies. The room began to spin, and they could hear voices whispering in their ears.

They played for what felt like hours, moving the game pieces around the board and trying to decipher the meaning behind the cryptic symbols on the board. But as they played, they began to realize that they were not alone. There were other spirits in the room with them, and they were getting more and more agitated as the game progressed.

Suddenly, one of the game pieces moved on its own, and they heard a voice coming from the board. It was the same angry voice that they had heard earlier, and it spoke in a language that they could now understand.

The voice told them that they had disturbed the spirits of the mansion, and that they were not welcome there. It warned them to leave before it was too late.

Shiva and Manisha were terrified, but they knew that they had to finish the game. They continued to play, their fingers moving the game pieces almost automatically. They were no longer in control of their own bodies, and they knew that they were being manipulated by the spirits.

Finally, they reached the end of the game. As they placed the final piece on the board, the room went silent. The spirits had stopped whispering, and the air was still.

Suddenly, they felt a cold hand on their shoulder. They turned around, and saw the ghostly figure of a woman standing behind them. She was dressed in a beautiful
