Though You May Burn to Ash

Desperate to secure one billion yen for his terminally ill sister, Ryouma finds himself facing a fate far worse than financial ruin. Instead of obtaining the funds he so desperately needs, his life is abruptly cut short. He awakens not in peace, but in Limbo—a bleak purgatory where his existence hangs by a thread and the rules of the living no longer apply. Trapped alongside four other unfortunate souls who have similarly fallen victim to cruel twists of fate, Ryouma is forced into a harrowing game of chance overseen by Kroel, a sadistic angel who delights in their suffering. The stakes are absolute: victory in this deadly gamble offers the tantalizing possibility of reclaiming his lost life and returning with the money required to save his sister. However, failure carries an unimaginable price. Should he falter, Ryouma and his fellow captives will be condemned to burn away into nothingness, trapped in eternal damnation where only ashes remain.
