Chapter One

Playing video games never seemed like a bad thing until a secret group known as VGHQ - Video Game Hacking Quarters - got into games all over the world and selected 30 "random" gamers to compete on TV. These games are twisted though. Your rank can mean life or death. One mess up and your life is over. Second lives and restarts aren't handed out in these games. You have to play to perfection or face death. Ryota Eidos, a sixteen year old girl, is selected to play this game of life or death, and she knows the number 1 ranking is the only way to win, and in this case, live.
