Scene 1: The Hospital
(The sound of a clock echoes in the silent room.)
Revild Deroon is sitting in the waiting room beside his mother and sister, Kinetsa. His red eyes are fixed on the clock on the wall. Time moves too slowly. He clenches his fists.
Revild
(softly, impatient)
"It's been more than 30 minutes. What's taking so long?"
Kinetsa, sitting next to him, smiles gently, trying to hide her own concern.
Kinetsa
"Calm down, Revild. The doctor is just gathering all the information. It'll be okay."
Before he can answer, the door opens and the doctor walks in. His gaze is heavy, carrying something none of them want to hear.
Doctor
"Mr. Deroon, I need to be direct. Haruto's condition has worsened. If we don't start treatment immediately, he only has three months left to live."
The world around Revild seems to freeze.
Revild
(swallowing hard)
"Three months...? No... there has to be a way!"
Doctor
"There is a treatment... but the cost is exorbitant. The hospital doesn't have the resources to cover it."
Revild feels his blood boil. His eyes meet Kinetsa's, who tries to stay calm, but he sees the fear in her.
Kinetsa
(softly)
"We'll find a way, Revild... We have to."

Scene 2: Job Hunting
(Bright sun. Busy streets. Revild and Kinetsa walk exhausted.)
They enter a business building, stopping in front of the receptionist.
Revild
(firm voice, but tired)
"Hi. We're looking for work. Anything."
The receptionist looks at them without much interest.
Receptionist
(cold smile)
"Sorry, but we're not hiring at the moment."
Revild clenches his fists but forces a polite smile. They leave.
---
(Cut to another building. Another attempt.)
Revild
(more determined)
"Hello. We urgently need work. The situation is difficult."
The receptionist doesn't hesitate before denying them.
Receptionist
"Unfortunately, we've already reached our employee limit."
Revild sighs, holding back his frustration.

Scene 3: The Last Resort
They enter a third establishment. The atmosphere is different. Darker. The company owner, a burly man, looks at them with disdain.
Revild
"Please, we need a job. Anything that pays well."
The man crosses his arms, scanning Revild from head to toe before laughing.
Company Owner
"You think I'd hire someone like you? Your name's already tarnished. Get out before I call the police."
Silence. Kinetsa grabs Revild's arm, sensing his rising anger. Without a word, he turns and walks away.
Outside, Kinetsa watches her brother's closed-off expression.
Kinetsa
(softly, hesitant)
"Revild..."
Revild
"There's no way. Let's go home."

Scene 4: The Memory of the Past
Revild sits on the couch at home, staring at a childhood photo.
He remembers.
Haruto, still a child, looking up to him with admiration.
Haruto (past)
"Big bro, when I grow up, I want to be strong like you!"
Revild laughs in the memory.
Revild (past)
"And why is that?"
Haruto (past)
(smiling)
"Because you're my hero."
The memory fades. Back to the present, Revild grips the photo tightly.
Revild (thinking)
"I promised him... I won't let him die."

Scene 5: The Advertisement
The TV turns on by itself with a flashy ad.
Announcer
(excited voice)
"If you're looking for a challenge and a generous reward, your chance is here! Sign up now for our game and compete for 2 billion dollars! Kinoras Enterprises. Don't miss this opportunity!"
Revild sits up, paying close attention.
Revild
(whispering to himself)
"2 billion..."
He stands, determined.
Revild
"This might be our only chance."

Scene 6: Signing Up for the Game
The next day, Revild and Kinetsa are in a modern building, surrounded by other contestants.
Among them, a man with green hair observes everything with a confident smile.
???
"Now this is going to be interesting. Finally, a game worthy of me!"
Revild stares at him.
Revild (thinking)
"This won't be as simple as it seems."
A voice echoes through the room.
"Player limit reached. 50 players registered."
---
Scene 7: The Game Begins
Bright white lights engulf the players.
The environment changes.
Revild blinks a few times. He's no longer in the building. The place looks like the real world, but something is off.
A robotic voice echoes.
Mysterious Voice
"Welcome to the game. The objective is simple: two groups can win. You must find the two keys and the cube containing the elixir in the tallest building. Rules? There are no rules."
Tense silence.
Takamira (green-haired man)
(shouting)
"This is madness!"
Revild looks around. His stomach tightens.
Revild (thinking)
"Kinetsa... Where's my sister?"
---
Scene 8: The Mystery of the Game
Revild is surrounded by strangers. He recognizes no one.
Takamira
(smiling)
"Well... This is going to be fun."
Revild doesn't respond. His heart races.
He is trapped in a game with no rules.
And Kinetsa is missing.
