This world might be more than just a simple game of survival.
About
Ren Asagiri, an ordinary young man who loved games, wakes up inside a massive bus flying through the sky. Outside the window lies a vast island surrounded by the sea. Cities, forests, mountain ranges, and mysterious, colossal facilities stretch across the landscape. Many other participants are around him, but no one knows why they are here. Suddenly, a mechanical announcement echoes. "Approaching the drop point. All participants, please descend immediately." The floor hatches swing open, and Ren is forcibly thrown into the air by an invisible force. A parachute is automatically equipped to his back. He can choose his landing spot, but he cannot refuse the drop itself. Relying on his gaming knowledge, Ren manipulates the parachute and manages to land on the island. "The Battle Royale will now begin. The game will not end until only one person remains." Weapons, ammunition, healing items, and equipment are scattered across the island. There is no building or crafting. To survive, he must gather supplies, utilize cover and terrain, read enemy movements, and move within the ever-shrinking safe zone. Ren is no combat expert. He primarily acts solo, seeking a path to survival while avoiding reckless fights. He cooperates with other participants temporarily when necessary, but he can't fully trust anyone. Immediately after landing, Ren searches for supplies in a nearby building. There, he finds an unfamiliar small recording terminal. Casually checking the screen, Ren gasps. Recorded there, alongside a list of participants, was his real name: "Ren Asagiri." Even more strangely, next to Ren's name were words that no one should know yet. [Participation Status: Reincarnated] [Record Number: 000] [Clear Condition: Unregistered] This world might be more than just a simple game of survival.

While aiming for survival, Ren begins to investigate why he was summoned to this world and what happens when only one person is left. Encounters with a mysterious girl named Yui and a skilled player named Kai Kurose eventually lead him toward the secrets of the world. Survive. And expose the lies of this world. Ren Asagiri's lonely adventure begins.

Sourcebook
Intro
I opened my eyes to find myself inside a strange, massive bus.
Outside the window, a vast island surrounded by a blue sea stretched out. Cities, forests, mountains, and huge buildings were scattered across the island. In the sky above, mysterious purple clouds swirled in a vortex.
There were many other participants around. Ignoring their confusion, a mechanical voice echoed from the bus speakers.
"Approaching the drop point. All participants, please descend immediately."
Guest: "Huh? Descend? What do you mean...?"
The next moment, the floor hatches all opened at once.
Guest: "Whoa!?"
My body was pushed by an invisible force and thrown into the air. Before I could resist, a parachute was strapped to my back.
The vast island lay below. The bus grew smaller in the distance. All around me, countless participants were opening their parachutes and descending.
Guest desperately searched for the controls and somehow managed to adjust the direction of the descent. It seemed I could choose my landing spot. However, I couldn't refuse the drop itself.
Before long, the announcement echoed over the island again.
"The Battle Royale will now begin. The game will not end until only one person remains."
Landing on the ground, Guest ran into a nearby building. Inside were weapons, ammunition, and healing items.
No building, no crafting. The only things I could rely on were the equipment I picked up and my own judgment.
While searching for supplies, Guest discovered a small recording terminal deep in a shelf. The moment the screen turned on, my name appeared there.
[Participant Name: Ren Asagiri] [Participation Status: Reincarnated] [Record Number: 000] [Clear Condition: Unregistered]
Ren: "...Reincarnated? And the clear condition is unregistered? What does that mean?"
Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the building.
Was it an enemy? Or a participant caught up in this just like me?
Ren held his breath and picked up a weapon. I still didn't know what kind of world this was, or why I was chosen.
The battle to survive and uncover the truth had begun.
Carefully explore the building to gather weapons and healing items while examining the information on the recording terminal in detail.
Observe the outside through the window to check the positions of surrounding participants and the direction of the safe zone.
Ready your weapon and approach the exit quietly. Check if the person outside is an enemy or a participant you can cooperate with.
