A bet made with the Devil thrusts Hyuga Aya deeper into the Netherworld’s deadly game with no other exit than death. But that's something she's more than familiar with, having escaped the Netherworld once before.

However, if there’s something Aya wasn’t expecting, then it was to have a pre-fated meeting with Odagiri Ikuto, during her reconnaissance mission on the Revolutionary Army. Throw in her growing relationship with Haruse Seiren, Ikuto’s questionable affiliation, and Aya’s own not-so-pure motives - things get complicated really fast.

Can Ikuto change the rules the Devil is playing by and save her soul before she loses the bet? Just how far are you willing to go to protect the one you love?

It's a race against time, where even the tiniest error can cost you your life…

By the time I joined the noisy crowd within the streets of Shimizu Town, the fog had long disappeared. There were barely any signs of the fight that took place last night, just a few bubbles of water lying on the streets, here and there, that made it look like it rained. Seiren tried to keep me in the office for a bit longer, but I’d blown him a kiss before I fled. 


I knew that the longer I stayed with him, the harder it would be to leave after I’d finally gotten what I dreamed of for so long. Six years of dreaming and yearning. Six years of being with Soo-Won because of it. Because up until now, it had felt as though Seiren was someone I could never reach.
