Welcome to hell! A place where miserable inhabitants endure endless torment, haunted by terrifying screams and the indifferent presence of goblins. Among the suffering souls is Saito Kouta, an average ex-salaryman condemned to a 500-year sentence of anguish.

Tempted by the tantalizing prospect of liberation, Kouta decides to participate, knowing well that the odds are stacked against him. As he faces formidable opponents and unimaginable horrors in the tournament, he begins to question the true intentions behind this celestial game.
