In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has seen an explosion in popularity. One of the most popular games ever released is Mystery Maker, a VR RPG where players can create baffling puzzles in a virtual space and challenge other players to solve them.... more>>

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed. However, if the mu*derer is exposed, both they and their hostages will be killed. And if a Detective makes an accusation but gets even the tiniest detail wrong, they will be mu*dered by the Gamemaster's secret accomplice, the Executioner.

Now the only way for the eight detectives to survive is to expose the mu*derer and Executioner lurking among them, even if they must risk their lives and those of their compatriots to do so.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less

Creation Era launched five years ago.... more>>

During the first season, which was fully deserving of being referred to as the golden era, countless legendary figures became famous in a single battle, and the various gods competed for supremacy on the rankings.

The gaming industry officially entered the era of holographic gaming.

Five years later, keyboard-based e-sports was on the decline, and holographic e-sports had taken its place.

An ID that had been lying around collecting dust for many years appeared on the rankings filled with master players once again. And what came into view alongside the name of this toxic support player were other legendary figures from the first season who had made players tremble with fear just hearing about them.

A notorious scavenger, a top black market assassin who had never failed a single kill, a war-loving madman able to bombard a whole regiment on their own, a surly master craftsman whose goods were priceless in the auction house…

These people gathered together and joined a retirement guild for casual players, then signed up for the holographic e-sports league.

Onlookers who weren’t clear about the situation: Major gods from the first season? What era is this? A senior citizen sightseeing group is more like it.

Old players who have suffered from this poison before: You young people, you don’t understand the horror of being dominated by these ancestors~ QAQ

The management teams from the various top guilds were distressed and bitter: What the hell, hadn’t these devils all quit the game? Why did they come back?!!

—

When Jiang Shi started playing again, he immediately noticed the ID that was still dominating the top of the rankings: Gentle Fish.

Players shared gossip with him – Legend has it that Fish God had a white moonlight whom he chased but was unable to obtain. Five years ago, he’d prepared a grand confession ceremony on the slope of Three Court Hill, but unexpectedly, despite waiting for a whole seven days and seven nights, the other party didn’t appear.

Jiang Shi: … Fake news.

Don’t ask him how he would know; he was that ‘heartbreaker’ who didn’t show up on the day of their scheduled fight.

Han Yuze: Heh, are you sure that it was a scheduled fight back then?

Jiang Shi: ?
