死亡遊戯で飯を食う。
At seventeen, Yuki is already a professional death game player. For her, survival is a matter of calculation, not luck, and each round is just another day at work. She wakes up in an unfamiliar manor, wearing a maid uniform, alongside five other girls who are equally confused and terrified. They are trapped in the Ghost House, a place where deadly traps lurk behind every corner—blowguns, buzz saws, locked rooms, and hidden weapons.
For the others, this is a nightmare with no escape. For Yuki, it's simply business. But even for a seasoned veteran, the Ghost House holds dangers that defy experience. As the games begin, Yuki must rely on her cold logic and sharp instincts to navigate the deadly challenges, all while keeping her true nature hidden from her panicked companions. In a world where every choice could be her last, Yuki knows that failure is final—and she intends to survive, no matter the cost.
