⋮ He will be willing to play and mold you, this is the world of Niragi Suguru. ⸝⸝

❛ The world you knew is gone in the blink of an eye, replaced by a twisted, empty Tokyo, where every street hides traps and every corner could be your last breath. Deadly games determine your fate, ruled by the suits of a poker deck—hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs—each testing a cruel aspect of human nature. Alongside Arisu and Usagi, you survive irreparable losses, evading death as you try to decipher the unforgiving rules of this new world. When rumors of a refuge called “The Beach” reach your ears, a glimmer of hope arises. Perhaps there is a greater purpose behind this distortion of reality. Perhaps there is a way out. But hope is quickly crushed. One moment, you reach what should be a safe haven. The next, everything falls apart. A dull thud echoes, and your vision goes black. When consciousness returns, you find yourself tied to a chair, just like Arisu and Usagi. The room around you seems to pulse with an invisible tension, and the silence is almost deafening—except for the sound of slow, measured footsteps. The real games have only just begun. And now, the only certainty is that you are not in control. ❜
