In a rapidly changing world, a sinister game of life-or-death brutally culls Japan's fading warrior class. Who is rounding up the few who still cling to their swords and is forcing them to fight? And who will be the last samurai standing?

It is the 11th year of the Meiji era in Japan, and more than a decade since the samurai were stripped of their privileges, with swords outlawed on public streets. A mysterious poster appears in all corners of the land, luring those skilled in martial arts to Kyoto with the promise of riches beyond common imagination. As warriors deprived of purpose flock to the appointed place at the appointed time, what awaits them is no ordinary task, but an all-out war—against each other!

When Yuuki wakes up in an unfamiliar manor wearing a maid uniform, she recognizes this as the start of a new death game. After assessing the situation, Yuuki begins to wander before discovering a room with five other maids. Each one is visibly anxious, and she learns from them that they are all new players who joined this lethal game for the prize money.

But Yuuki is different: she is a death game veteran whose only goal is to achieve 99 consecutive wins. Tasked with navigating a manor filled with countless instruments of murder, Yuuki takes point as the only experienced player in an environment that is designed to actively work against her. Despite this, she is determined to reach the end of the game with as many people as possible—if it coincides with her final goal.
