PLAYING DEATH GAMES PUT FOOD ON TABLE NOVEL SC (2025)

Player Name: Yuuki. Age: 17. Occupation: Death games. She has entered a genuine life-or-death show business where all the participants have to be female, and where one must put their life at stake to strike it rich. Show no mercy, strut your stuff, and break the line between life and death! Aim for an unprecedented 99-win streak—for fun and for keeps!

At a mere seventeen years old, Yuki is a veteran in the world of death games. But just how did she get this far, and why is she aiming for a 99-game win streak? Time rewinds to the Candle Woods game where she is one of three hundred “rabbits” being hunted by “stumps”…

Having overcome the Wall of Thirty, Yuki restores her lost fingers and makes a full recovery. Not long after, she achieves her next milestone of clearing her fortieth game, and it seems like it's smooth sailing from here. But everything changes during Cloudy Beach-Yuki's forty-fourth game, one packed with veteran players who have also overcome the Wall of Thirty. On the game's isolated island venue, Yuki stumbles upon a dismembered body reminiscent of the work of that sickening psychopath from Candle Woods...

After overcoming Cloudy Beach, Yuki learns that a different game that took place around the same time ended in catastrophe, with only a handful of survivors. While investigating alongside Keito, a player she met in a previous game, she finds out about the rise of another psychopath. Amid this dilemma and more, Yuki takes on a game in which the living and dead meet: Halloween Night.

Reeling from the events of Royal Palace, Yuki comes face to face with another version of herself standing outside her apartment, a hallucination created from her extraordinary skills of perception. The encounter spurs memories of her first game, Maiden’s Race, where her younger and more foolish past self sailed to victory. But the other Yuki isn’t content with taking her on a trip down memory lane; she’s dead set on seizing control of Yuki’s body and relentlessly attacks her in pursuit of that end. Unable to strike back against her spectral foe, Yuki attempts to level the playing field by asking Rinrin to set up a mock game for her and her doppelganger to compete in: Snow Room. Yuki has overcome countless foes in her career as a death game player…but does she have any hope of defeating her very self?
