When Kaito Tanaka, a military strategist deemed too ruthless for the modern world, wakes up as Kaelan von Greyrat, he knows he's been handed the worst deal imaginable. His new family despises him, his soldiers mock him, and a barbarian horde is weeks away from slaughtering them all.

But Kaelan's rise attracts attention from powerful forces beyond his understanding. Other players in this deadly game have been transported to his world, each with their own terrifying abilities. To survive, Kaelan must uncover the truth behind his transmigration and face an enemy who knows all his tricks, because they play the same game. He was given nothing. He'll take everything.

"Name's Andrew Lapis, bud. Just your run-of-the-mill guy coasting through a mundane existence. My family? As average as they come, all huddled under the drab roof of a cookie-cutter house. University? Yep, I'm there too, pulling down grades that'd make any 'ordinary' student proud. Except for Logic Reasoning. Turns out, I've got a knack for that—extraordinarily good, if you ask me. My nightly routine? Well, it's a real nail-biter. Me and my buddy, we hit up the same old coffee shop, play the same old card games. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm no slouch when it comes to those cards. You could say I've got some pretty extraordinary skills up my sleeve.

Gone were the days of ordinary, replaced by a high-stakes world of dirty dealings and opulent casinos. So yeah, you could say my life went from poker nights to playing dirty, but in the swankiest casinos you ever did see."
