A man in military uniform announces a brutal death game, forcing the students to fight each other until only one survivor remains.

All Kaito truly desires is a quiet, ordinary life after his otherworldly ordeal. Yet, his hopes for peace are constantly challenged as new threats and absurd situations arise, testing his resolve to live a mundane existence.
