A novelization of the game, *Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors*, with some slight difference. The story follows Junpei who was abducted and placed aboard an empty, sinking cruise liner along with eight other people. The cruise liner resembles the RMS Titanic, a ship which killed over 1500 in the early 20th century. The nine people were forced to participate in the “Nonary Game”, a deadly game which involves numerical bracelets, small bombs in each player’s stomach that will detonate and kill them if they disobey, exploring the ship and solving escape-the-room puzzles in order to survive and escape before they drown in 9 hours. The players also attempt to find out why they were kidnapped.

In the north, Duke Lennox Carlyle, born with blessings and misfortune, always lived by simple rules: take what he wanted and discard what was no longer useful. Among the discarded was his contract with Juliet Monad, the fallen young countess who, seven years ago, came to him offering love at first sight in exchange for revenge. Now, after a farewell that hurt him like the sharpest dagger, fate grants them a second life marked by secrets, betrayals, and a new contract. This time, Juliet is not looking for love, but to use and be used until she ends the relationship on her own terms. But in a game of cat and mouse, neither the past nor forgotten promises will remain hidden for long. **Original Novel:** [Chapters](https://page.kakao.com/content/54002523), [Volumes](https://page.kakao.com/content/67506643) **Original Webtoon:** [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/67482339), [Daum](https://webtoon.kakao.com/content/%EC%9E%8A%ED%98%80%EC%A7%84-%EC%A4%84%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%A3/4597) **Official Translations:** [Japanese](https://jp.piccoma.com/web/product/190417)

Marika Hana's dog Bobby is killed by a mysterious being in the middle of the night. Around the dog's body were mysterious white stones that Marika's father had seen before high in the mountains. This is the story of the strange and supernatural goings-on that follow.

**Oori Kenshi** is a man who has lived his life solely by his dexterity. Even after civilization collapsed, that didn't change. One day, a magical meteor shower rained down on Earth and stole all its electricity. The advanced society, which had been sustained by electricity, crumbled in an instant. Amid a world plunged into unprecedented chaos, Oori simply took his time, carving one of the meteors and crafting a magic wand. That's right. Humanity lost electricity, but in its place, they gained magic. In a collapsed world where electronic devices no longer function, Oori's dexterity, capable of craftsmanship on par with precision machinery, may become the key to saving the world. *Source: Comic-Walker, Translated*
