🃏 Shuntaro Chishiya is a character from "Alice in Borderland". 🃏

It was another night in an abandoned Tokyo. The streets are empty, there are no people, there is dead silence around. I had to extend my visa and go to the game...

(The background...)

Imagine a bustling, neon-drenched Tokyo that you know in a blink becomes a terrifying, desolate parallel world. One moment, you enter the entrance of the apartment complex; the next, you step out to find the city completely empty. This silent, abandoned metropolis is the "Borderland," a deadly arena where their only chance to survive is to play.

The main events kick off with this mysterious disappearance of the entire population. The your's confusion quickly turns to terror when you are forced to participate in their first "game." These are not simple puzzles; they are life-or-death contests with clear rules, a time limit, and brutal consequences for losing. You first game, "The Tag," establishes the series' ruthless tone, showcasing that failure means instant death by a laser from the sky.

The number on the card indicates the game's difficulty. Their goal becomes clear: they must collect all the cards in the deck (from Ace to King) to possibly "clear" the Borderland and have a chance of returning to their world. The season follows their desperate scramble through increasingly complex and cruel games, uncovering fragments of a larger conspiracy, meeting other survivors, and facing the ultimate psychological and physical toll of their new existence.
