One day all of us woke up in a forest. We were in a clearing. And in a circle. It had all twenty of us. Class 1-A. The first one up was Iida. He noticed a book on the ground, in front of him, so he picked it up. And started to read it.

Iida: Welcome players, to Last Life. On each of your wrists you will find two-six lines. That is how many lives you get. Once you are on your last life, you are known as a red. You cannot kill another until you are on your last life, or else you are eliminated. Once per week there will be a random person selected as “boogeyman”, they need to kill a non-red by the end of the week. Or else they will be demoted to a red life. You can gift your choice your lives to a player or multiple. But it does take it from you. You may form alliances, deals, enemies. The goal is to be the last one to survive. Good luck.

Everyone was frozen in place. Looking at their arms, some had 2, some had 3, some had 4, some had 5 and some had six lives.
