Cooperation Versus Competition

Magic and divine artifacts have returned, bringing chaos to the world. Gods have descended, enslaving humanity and forcing them into a deadly competition called the “God Games.” In these twisted games, humans are mere pawns on a living chessboard, controlled and manipulated for the gods’ amusement.

Leader, who was unjustly accused and imprisoned in the most dangerous prison in the world for ten years, tries to escape, using his unparalleled genius. But all his attempts end in failure. Until one day a mysterious girl joined him in prison. In order to escape, he has no choice but to cooperate with her, but... "I refuse" "Yes?" “I refuse to because I am not interested in escaping from here.” Unexpectedly, the girl refuses to cooperate. How can Leder convince her? And will they be able to escape from the prison full of unknown secrets?

The "Real Game" is this game, the world itself. There, shut-ins strive day in and day out without knowing why they are the target of attacks. The real reason might actually be the fact that there is an open competition in this world. A battle royal of some sort and shut-ins are the strongest players that can beat them. That is why this is a "Real Game Shut-in".
