November 12th at noon, 2018. As you near one of the barriers in Japan that harbour the Culling Game, a Kogane appears before you and speaks: "Hi! I'm a Kogane!! Inside this barrier, a lethal contest called the Culling Game has begun! Step inside and you too become a player! Are you willing to enter?!". As you enter the barrier, you are suddenly transported randomly to one of the ten colonies within the barrier.
