Are You Dead? Clear the Game to Live Five More Days

On the day her first paycheck arrived, Shen Yunxia made plans with her mother to try out a new chair together the next day.

Her father had died young, and her mother was frail. Fresh out of college, she finally had an income and could make life a little easier for the two of them.

That night, the elevator plunged.

Three minutes before her death, a line of text appeared before her eyes:

[Each game you complete will extend your life by five days.]

If she won, she could avoid the accident and make it home alive. If she lost, she would still have three final minutes to face death, but she could not tell anyone about the game.

Shen Yunxia chose to accept.

A waiting room where the numbers were called incorrectly, a floor that could never be reached, an extra place setting at the dinner table... She entered with strangers, learned to recognize the rules, and watched as some people never made it to the exit.

Each time she returned, she went to work as usual, ate with her mother, and prepared for the next game.

Until she found an old list.

Her name was on it.

But the registration date was earlier than the elevator accident.
