In 2083, a gray fog suddenly swept across the entire world.
On the second day after unknown life forms invaded Earth, people discovered that their lives were being counted down to an exact time on some object near them.
The fog could not be damaged or destroyed. To survive, people had to take part in the survival games governed by its rules.
The world descended into chaos...
Several years later.
Human order had been rebuilt.
Earth had become a server for survival games.
Under a new set of rules, people began another round of competition, with their lives as the stakes.
[When life becomes a survival game, how long can you stay alive?]

When He Xu woke up, all he had was a crumpled piece of paper in his hand.
It contained a simple introduction to the rules of the no-fault game.
-Game Rules-
1. Before a game begins, you must make sure you have enough time to put up as collateral.
2. Once a game begins, anyone who quits without permission forfeits all their collateral time.
3. The final reward is proportional to the difficulty of surviving the game.
Additionally, the rules above do not apply in Extreme Mode.
Additional rules for Extreme Mode: You cannot be forced to quit, except in the event of character death.
Important Notice:
Dying in the game means dying for real.
Everyone must strictly follow the rules of the game they are currently playing.
Violators will be wanted across the entire server.
-These game rules are not subject to final interpretation-
At the same time, advertisements played on a huge LED screen in the nearby plaza, while a line of small text scrolled repeatedly underneath.
["Server-wide wanted list": Wanted person: He Xu. Status: At large. Punishment: Time reset to zero.]
He Xu glanced at his phone.
----0000:00:00:00:01:55.
His life countdown had only 1 minute and 55 seconds left.
He Xu: "..."
Damn.
-
He Xu didn't have enough time left to start a normal game.
So, with no other choice, he selected Extreme Mode.
Before the game began, the System asked him to choose a teammate for this round.
He Xu had only ten seconds left on his countdown.
He casually grabbed someone and put an arm around his lucky brother's shoulders. "Bro, wanna gamble with your life?"
