The sound of boiling water floats through the air. Oshiro Daiki kneels at the table, enjoying the conversation with his hostess. Though he wears a smile, his mind is racing, thinking through all of the bizarre and impossible things that have happened during his very first day on this planet. Despite his calm demeanor, fear lingers in his heart. Try as he might to prepare, he will soon face challenges and gain riches far beyond his wildest dreams. He will even come face to face with Death and all of her mannerisms. Should he fail, he may never see his family again.
Half a year later, Matthew Blue finds himself in a tricky spot. While he has not been stranded on a different planet, he is stuck in a different country, sleeping among friendly strangers and strange friends. All the while, Griffin Voltaire, the person he is chasing after, is in a race against the clock. And the fate of his soul rests at the finish line.
