    Are you a complete failure, a nobody who never managed to achieve anything in life? Or maybe… maybe you were simply born in the wrong time? Maybe this world—where machines do the work, computers make the decisions, mistakes don’t cost you your livelihood or your life, everyone is equal, and no one is allowed to die—isn’t meant for you? But what if someone offered you the chance to change your life—not by moving to another country, but by vanishing from this world altogether? Sounds tempting… if you’re ready to treat life like a game of chance—and yourself as the wager. Because you’ve got nothing left to lose, and everything to win. So you play. Fearless. Uncompromising. There’s only one thing to fear: What if all of this… is just a dream?
