Synopsis:
In a world where high-stakes gambling pushes the boundaries of life and death, the organization Kagerou maintains a precarious balance. This group acts as impartial arbiters for deadly games, ensuring fairness amidst extreme risk. The narrative centers on Bak Madarame, known as Usogui, a skilled gambler with an uncanny ability to exploit loopholes and predict outcomes. He engages in a series of peculiar contests – seemingly simple games like Escape the Abandoned Building or Old Maid – but with far-reaching consequences. Usogui’s objective isn't simply to win; he seeks to master these games to ultimately gain control over Kagerou itself, challenging the organization's authority and exposing the hidden power dynamics within their world of chance. The series explores themes of strategy, deception, and the blurred lines between entertainment and survival.
