Synopsis

The chapter opens with new characters being abruptly transported to a mysterious location and told they must fight to avoid a grim fate. It then shifts to a system interface showcasing high-rank summons, party building, and the mechanics of the game-like world. Two summoned characters, a veteran guard and an aristocrat, are evaluated and a decision is made on which party to place them in using a bizarre lottery system, with the guard ultimately joining a party led by Han. Characters who can't keep up are 'synthesized' and used for power. The newcomers are forced into a deadly game where cooperation is essential for survival.
