At just seventeen, Yuki is a professional death game player. She's survived enough rounds to know that survival is calculation, not luck-and that failure is final. For most players, the games are a nightmare with no escape. For Yuki, they're simply business. Yet in a world where rooms turn into graves and every choice could be her last, even experience offers no protection.

After a traumatic incident ends his teaching career, Rei Hitoma is certain he hates humans. Yet when he sees a job for "a teacher who truly cares for their students," he's compelled to apply. Before he knows it, he's hired-only to find out his students are demi-humans. What begins as a job becomes a journey for healing for both a teacher who's lost faith in humanity and students who dream of it.
