Are you in pain?

"Pain is the only truth in a world full of lies."

​If someone asks how your days are going, you will obviously put on a show and reply, 'I'm doing well.' But behind this 'well' hides a massive darkness that no one sees, or even if they do, they just don't care. So, this toxic darkness eats you away every single day-your flesh, your blood, your liver, your heart, and finally, your brain. Consequently, we lose our consciousness, our feelings, and our humanity. Sometimes, it feels like ending everything-everything that stands as an obstacle, every cause of my agony, which I have been enduring out of fear in this hellish life. Have you ever imagined yourself in a flood of blood? And at that moment, the knife was in your own hand...

​Neno thought he was just an ordinary guy, struggling through the harsh realities of life to protect his traumatized little sister, Mino-who hasn't spoken a word other than "Big Brother" since a devastating psychological trauma.

​But reality shatters when a mysterious, psychopathic Joker appears out of nowhere, handing Neno a high-tech alien knife locked exclusively to his DNA. In a split second, Neno's violent imagination overlaps with reality, granting him terrifying, superhuman speed.

​He isn't just a survivor anymore. He is Number 77.

​As alien technology turns human agony into lethal weapons, Neno must fight through a deadly game where players are chosen based on their suffering. But the biggest threat isn't the alien tech-it's what happens when Mino's dark, silent imagination finally unlocks.

​Welcome to the game. Are you ready to bleed?
