Death isn’t the end. It’s a death game you’re forced to play.
A century ago, the newly appointed King of Hell upended tradition, reforging the Eighteen Levels of Hell into a sinister, rule-bound “Purgatory Trial Tower.” Every soul must fight its way through the trials to survive. Fail, and your soul is obliterated, never to be reborn.
Here, rules reign supreme, but opportunity and danger go hand in hand. Every cleared trial earns “Karma Points” that can be exchanged for extraordinary abilities, giving even the dead a chance to ascend to godhood, one step at a time. Only those who conquer all eighteen levels earn the right to choose their fate: drink Granny Meng’s soup and enter reincarnation, or retain their memories and become a divine official of the underworld, empowered to govern life and death.
When a game level designer who died suddenly arrives here, he is horrified to discover that this bizarre hell, deadly at every turn, is actually right up his professional alley.
In this brutal trial, where souls are the stakes, how will he use his unparalleled understanding of rules to unravel the secrets of hell, carve a path to the heavens through this desperate purgatory, and ultimately expose the shocking secret behind the King of Hell, one that could decide the fate of all three realms?
