Hint: Please give it your all, as if you are prepared to throw your life away. Once you see this dream, you will never wake up—the curtain rises on a "Nightmare" game that never ends. "The participants for the Nightmare Game have all assembled." Haruto, an ordinary high school student, wakes up to find himself trapped inside a nightmare. An eerie announcement echoes through the building: if he cannot escape this unfamiliar shopping mall by dawn, he will experience a physical agony more terrifying than death. While Haruto is still half-doubting the reality of the situation, a blood-stained pursuer appears before him. To survive this irrational nightmare alongside the eight other participants present, he must find the only loophole hidden within the rules—but will he succeed? You have been chosen as a participant in the nightmare. Now, please give it your all... as if you truly intend to throw your life away.

In a corner of a continent, a kingdom was divided into seven major cities, each led by a princess who was supposedly the illegitimate children of the previous king. One of them, a nine-year old orphan, was chosen as the princess of Nanamiya Kasen. She was supported by the warrior General Ten Huo and his military strategist Toel Tau. She realizes that both of them are liars in varying magnitudes and their true intentions are unknown, but she went along with their plans as they cheerfully told her that the three of them will take over the entire kingdom. However, when she turned twelve, the neighboring city of Tsudumi began its invasion of Kasen....... This is a story about a girl who is tossed about by the currents of fate, but who faces her own destiny with sincerity.
