Rule-based horror games descend upon the world, and every country must select one contestant to enter an endless world of horror and face its challenges. Those who fail die, and the countries they represent are consumed by supernatural corruption. Bai Ye, a calm and perceptive former crisis analyst from China, is chosen to represent his country.

The global order is quietly shifting under the impact of the supernatural, and the true meaning of the Five Permanent Members’ authority seems to be beyond anything anyone could have imagined...
