The King's Game

Arrogance.

“I didn't know humans could be so interesting!”

Was what the inhumanly handsome blonde transfer student said to me in our first meeting...

Authority.

“Keep it with you at all times. Never leave it and never lose it. You won’t know when it might prove its necessity, but… surely, the time won’t be far off.”

Was what the mysterious old man advised to me when I received that enigmatic item...

Superiority.

“As expected from you, to notice me from the start.”

Was what the dark cloaked stranger with petrifying bloodthirsty eyes remarked to me...

All these were events which I thought were anything, but normal occurrences. Well, at least in this human world.

…Little did I know that these were actually signs of destruction to my current peaceful life—

And be asked to such proposition.

“Will you become our king?”

…If you were me, how would you answer?

The right to participate in a long, long adventure—

Will you accept it and die in the process? Or reject it and die on the spot?

“Either way, I’m going to die… So, why not?”

This is a game.

A game where you could die…

Or become their king.

This is The King's Game.
