'How did I end up here? Have I been alone for too long and gotten so bored I'm daydreaming?'

Just as Chihiro Shiraha was filled with doubts, even suspecting that she was finally experiencing mental problems.

A cold, electronic notification sound suddenly rang in her ears.

Not too loud, not too soft, but loud enough for her to hear alone:

[This is not a dream. Chihiro Shiranami, you are indeed dead, and are currently in a state of spiritual wandering.]

[If nothing unexpected happens, you will gradually lose yourself. Without anyone spending 100 points to revive you, and without entering the cycle of reincarnation... you will eventually fall and become one of the evil spirits.]

Upon hearing this, Shiraha Chihiro slightly opened her mouth, a nameless anger rising in her heart.

Since I'm already a ghost waiting to die, why drag me here at all?!

Is this just to make fun of me?!

But before she could protest, the mechanical voice answered her question.

[Adhering to the concept of waste utilization.]

GANTZ believes you should be given a choice.

Chihiro Shiraha was silent for a moment:

'What do you mean by recycling... I'm quite useful too!'

GANTZ ignored her complaints and threw out his chips:

So, are you willing to take the gamble?

GANTZ will grant you the right to be "visible." As long as you remain a ghost and are not detected by any other examinee during the next three consecutive exams.

I will then grant you an extra chance to challenge the 'revival round'.

[But at a price: if you are discovered even once by the examinees, your soul will be corrupted. You will immediately fall into evil spirits, becoming one of the points for scoring in the exam, to be hunted down.]

Upon hearing this, Chihiro Shiraha's breath hitched.

But GANTZ's voice continued, with a devilish allure:

Correspondingly, each time you successfully hide, I will grant you some intelligence and privileges.

[For example, this time, if you hide completely, you will gain the right to have the 'first person' who meets you clearly see you in the next test.]

So, what is your choice?

【YES/NO】

As the voice faded away, only the howling sea breeze remained all around.

Before Chihiro Shirami's eyes was only a virtual selection panel that was flashing with fluorescence.

Chihiro lowered her head.

His fingers dug heavily into his palm.

One after another.

The slight pain of her fingernails digging into her flesh confirmed to her that she still retained the concept of "pain" for the time being, and that everything before her was definitely not a hallucination after death.

She took a deep breath.

In my original memory, 100 S points were far too many to revive a person.

If we rely on Ichinose to fight desperately...

No, given Ichinose's gentle nature to the core, she would definitely fight tooth and nail for me.

They might even save up the points they would have used to upgrade their survival gear, just to accumulate that elusive 100 points.

However, during this long process, Ichinose will inevitably experience more hardships and dangers that she should not have to go through.

Even more innocent students might perish because of her!

Chihiro Shirami didn't want to see that kind of ending.

Therefore, she hopes to fight for a chance to be resurrected through her own efforts, even if it is as a ghost.

If I could use my "ghost" identity to secretly help Ichinose in some way in the future...

Even better.

The girl did not hesitate any longer.

"I agree."

【Ding. 】

The contract is established.

[Countdown has ended.]

[Preliminary testing begins.]
