Su Yang awakens in a pitch‑black arena, his memories fragmented and a cold voice urging him to draw an "Innate Talent. " After a forced selection, he receives the bizarre ability "Recognize Thief as Father," which lets him treat another player as his father and manipulate their actions. He is then thrust into a grim death‑game set in a dilapidated tavern where five strangers—two men and two women—must play a lethal card‑based roulette with revolvers at the table.

Each participant possesses a hidden talent, and only one can survive. Using his keen detective instincts and a talent for deception, Su Yang surveys the strangers, parses their motives, and begins to formulate a strategy to outwit the deadly rules. Meanwhile, the tavern’s monstrous, beast‑headed dealer watches silently, shuffling cards that could seal a player's fate.

As the first round unfolds, alliances shift, secrets surface, and Su Yang realizes that the game is only the beginning of a larger conspiracy that may involve gods and worlds beyond his comprehension.
