Ayanokoji Kiyotaka opened his eyes, his mind still foggy, to find himself in an unfamiliar setting. A ghostly city stretched around him, its crumbling buildings and deserted streets bathed in a cold, otherworldly light. Everything seemed frozen in an oppressive silence, as if time itself had abandoned this place.
It wasn't long before he encountered others, each introducing themselves with a peculiar title: "Ultimate." They offered little explanation, but their talents seemed to define them. The glances they exchanged were heavy with distrust, as though bound by an invisible threat.
Then, a cold, mechanical voice broke the silence, echoing through the air: the rules of a deadly game were laid out before them. This was no simple test of survival. It was a battle where only the strongest, the smartest, or the most ruthless could hope to emerge alive. There were no details about their captors, no explanation for why they had been brought here. Just harsh rules and one certainty: there would be no room for weakness.
Ayanokoji, calm and unshaken, observed the others. Some tried to remain optimistic, others sought answers, but it was clear this place would reveal the true nature of everyone present.
In this forgotten city, the shadows seemed to grow longer and thicker with each passing hour. Every step, every word, every silence could conceal a trap. The Ultimates, with their enigmatic talents, would become either allies or enemies.
But in this merciless game, one question lingered, hanging like a silent threat: who was pulling the strings of this macabre theater, and why had Ayanokoji been dragged into it?
