N and his girlfriend Uzi are both poor, with Uzi being disowned by her father and having no financial support, while N was turned from a worker drone into a disassembly drone who used to kill worker drones as a living which made him very unwanted. Uzi got this idea that the both of them should do a gamble to win 38 million dollars. They played this flipping envelope game with a stranger and then got knocked unconscious. N woke up and saw 456 other players. He then goes to look for Uzi.
