An urban legend states that those exceptionally gifted at gaming will be sent a special game invitation, and the winners of the challenge will be whisked away to another world. When Sora and Shiro, two hikikomori NEETs who happen to be both siblings and notorious gamers, receive this invitation, they defeat it with ease. And like the legends tell, they're transported to another world where conflicts, peoples' lives and even country borders are decided by competitions and games. Always up for a challenge, the pair quickly take on the obstacles that come their way, whether it be restoring lowly humanity's good name compared with the other races or helping influence who will become the next king.

TVTranscript
00:00I don't believe this.
00:07There's only four of them.
00:15They beat 1,200 players all on their own?
00:28Enough.
00:30Descends now.
00:53You're mine.
00:55No.
01:01You can't dodge that.
01:16You can't dodge that!
01:19Tell me if this story rings a bell.
01:21It may just be an urban legend, but I assure you it's a good one.
01:25There exists a band of anonymous players.
01:28Gamers who obliterate anyone who comes to face them.
01:31Reaching scores never achieved before or since.
01:33In every game they play, their win records are flawless.
01:37Since their usernames are always left empty, they are simply known to people as blank.
01:42And according to every player who has encountered them, they are indeed unbeatable.
01:47Cheaters?
01:48Cheaters?
01:48You think that's how they keep winning?
01:50Yeah, I'm sure of it.
01:51It's gotta be just a lousy group of hackers.
01:54Come on.
01:54There's no way they could be 1,200 people with just the four of them.
01:58Auto aimers and wall hacks, hitbox manipulation, they gotta be cheating.
02:02Oh, do they?
02:04And here I thought cheating was our expertise.
02:07Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cast so many spells like that.
02:10I don't know.
02:11This is different.
02:12But blank dodged them anyway.
02:13They already knew I was cheating to cast consecutive spells before I even did it.
02:19They're amazing.
02:20They're like super geniuses or something.
02:22You think maybe they'd go out with me?
02:24Oh god.
02:25And so the rumors spread with their infamy.
02:31You know, urban legends are like a kind of wish.
02:35Because in reality, the least interesting answer is usually the correct one.
02:48They've won somehow.
02:50Hey, listen little sis.
02:55Could you do me a favor and please stop controlling the main account for blank with your feet?
02:59Kinda nasty.
03:00Hungry.
03:01I'm still hungry.
03:04Want some Sora?
03:07Sure, why not?
03:16Really splurging on some fancy rations, huh Shiro?
03:19Nutrition's important.
03:22Listen, the human brain can function as long as it has glucose.
03:25White bread is best in terms of cost performance.
03:28Yeah, thanks for the lecture.
03:30But I need other types of nutrients too, or I won't get any bigger.
03:34You're already a perfect, flawless beauty, you darling girl.
03:39Hey, what time is it?
03:41Um, 8am, the middle of the night.
03:44What day?
03:45Does that even matter to a knee?
03:47It does. It tells me when the MMORPGs are going to have new events.
03:50And what? Wait, I know you've been up for five days straight, but if you quit now,
03:54I won't have a healer.
03:57I know you can do it.
03:58You seriously think I can control four characters at one time?
04:01Just believe.
04:03Wait, no, please don't fall asleep.
04:06If you go to sleep, Shiro, everyone, and by everyone, I mean me, will die.
04:09Oh, okay, fine, fine, I'll do it. I can take these suckers.
04:14This world is chaotic, unfair, and unforgiving.
04:23It has no meaning or value.
04:25However, some people simply refuse to accept this, even though they know they can't change anything.
04:31They wish that the world could be just a little more interesting.
04:35And that's how urban legends are formed, from wishes like that.
04:39Okay, so let's get things started.
04:43Let's offer a subtle, stylistic catalyst for a chance at a new beginning.
04:48Let's ask the question, have you heard the latest rumor?
04:55Yeah.
04:55Listen, your brother's been playing four characters on four separate screens.
05:00I don't know what you want, but I'm seriously about to drop dead here.
05:02It might be from a friend.
05:05Whose friend?
05:07Your friend?
05:10That's weird. I thought I heard my sister say something really mean and sarcastic to me.
05:20What is this? And how does this guy know that the two of us are siblings?
05:27What should we do?
05:31Is he trying to cut a deal with us?
05:33Well, it might be fun to see where this goes.
05:42Huh? Chess?
05:44Well, good night.
05:46Oh, wait, wait! Don't fall asleep yet! I can't handle a high-level chess simulation on my own!
05:51Chess is a finite, two-player, zero-sum, perfect information game.
05:58Luck plays no part in it.
06:00Theoretically, to each game, there is a perfect solution that will never fail.
06:04Of course, that's only if you have a mind capable of calculating 10 to the power of 120 possible states of the board.
06:12Chess is no different than simply playing tic-tac-toe.
06:20That's right.
06:24Chiro has beaten a program designed to defeat grandmasters 20 times in a row, alternating between going first and second.
06:32Chiro has beaten a lot of players in a row.
06:37But...
06:38It cut off its own pieces advance.
06:40Hold on, Chiro.
06:42What?
06:42What?
06:43A program will always select the best strategy.
06:46You can win because they're predictable.
06:48But this one's deliberately using a bad move to lure you in.
06:52It's a human.
06:54Don't worry, if it's a contested skill, you've got this in the bag.
06:57I'll tell you when they're up to something tricky.
07:00The two of us, Sora and Chiro, form two halves of a whole.
07:04Now let's see if there's somebody who's got the balls to beat us.
07:12The two of us, Sora and Chiro, form two halves of a whole.
07:16Check it!
07:18You are winning!
07:22Yeah, we won!
07:25Haven't worked this hard in a long time.
07:28Was that guy really human?
07:39What the hell?
07:42What do you mean, is it fun?
07:51In this game, there's no way to know the rules or how to win.
07:54Yet there are seven billion players all making whatever moves they want.
07:57If you lose too much or win too much, there are penalties.
08:01You can't pass your turn, and if you complain, people look down on you.
08:04There's no parameters or a freaking genre or anything.
08:08You know what you call that?
08:09You call it...
08:11A crappy game.
08:24Believe me, if there's a world like that, then the two of us...
08:27Well, we were born in the wrong one for sure.
08:36Huh?
08:37What the...?
08:38Zora?
08:40You know what?
08:41I think so, too.
08:43In fact, it sounds like you two don't have any business living in this world at all.
08:47So how does this sound?
08:49How would you like a second chance to be made anew in the world in which you should have been born in the first place?
08:55Welcome to the world of my creation.
09:02What's going on?
09:06This is the ideal world you've always dreamed of.
09:10The world of games.
09:10It's Discord!
09:12You see, everything in this world is decided by a simple game.
09:17Government, politics, even the lives of its people.
09:20Who are you?
09:22Me?
09:22They call me Tet.
09:24I live over here.
09:25I'm a god.
09:26A god?
09:27You're so short.
09:28That's not the time!
09:30We're gonna die!
09:31Try to stay focused, please, so everything here is decided by ten simple pledges.
09:35One, killing others, waging war, and stealing from people is strictly forbidden in this world.
09:41Two, all conflicts, no matter how great or small, must be resolved through games.
09:46Three, before the games begin, each player must bet something that they agree is of equal value.
09:52Four, as long as it doesn't go against number three, what they bet and the rules of the game will not be questioned.
09:58Five, the challenged party has the right to determine the rules of the game.
10:02Six, all bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.
10:08Seven, conflicts between groups will be overseen by appointed representatives with absolute authority.
10:13Eight, being caught cheating during a game results in an instant loss.
10:18And nine, in the name of almighty god, that's me, the previous rules may never be altered.
10:23Okay, great, now would you shut up and save us!
10:25The crowd, the crowd, the crowd, the crowd!
10:27Shiro!
10:28Number ten?
10:45Let's all have fun and play together!
10:48Huh?
10:49Hey!
10:50I look forward to seeing you two again!
10:54I'm pretty sure it won't be long!
11:00Zara?
11:03Where are we?
11:20You know what, sis?
11:30I always thought life was just a game for masochists and losers.
11:34And what happened?
11:36The game just crashed!
11:38Oh, what's going on?
11:40This game is total crap!
11:42Long ago, in the far distant past, the gods, along with their families and creations, waged a seemingly never-ending war for the right to rule this world.
11:55They fought for the right to become the one true god.
11:59Eventually, it became clear there would be no real victor, as the sky, the sea, the land, and the stars were all destroyed in the devastating battles.
12:08However, hidden amongst the wreckage, a single deity had survived.
12:13Although he never participated in the conflict, the title became his.
12:18His name was Tet, and he was known as the God of Play.
12:23You creatures who have fought with violence, blood, and death, who built a tower of corpses that rises to the sky, and who still call yourselves wise?
12:31Tell me this! What makes you different from wild animals?
12:35In the face of their shattered world, excuses were meaningless, and God spoke,
12:40Thou shall not kill one another. Murder and thievery in this realm is henceforth forbidden.
12:45You sixteen races, full of greed and hubris, I command you to use your ingenuity and wit, your great fortunes and power, to build me a tower of knowledge, and to prove to me...
12:56Your strings of mind.
12:59Okay, I think I get it.
13:00So everything in this world is decided by games because the God of Play is in charge?
13:04That's right. And by the way...
13:06Hm? What now?
13:08Do you suppose you could find it in your heart to at least leave us a pair of pants?
13:11Ah, numero seis. Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.
13:16So we bet everything we could offer, including our lives, and you in turn bet everything you had on you, which just so happened to include your pants.
13:22Okay, that's true, but still, you can't leave us here like this!
13:26Please!
13:26Let's go, Shiro.
13:29Please! Double 11! I can't go back to the village in my yard!
13:33Seems like even bandits can't rob or kill you. That's pretty convenient.
13:37Meh. I bet they couldn't, even if they tried.
13:40Anyway, seems like everything comes down to your skill at the game.
13:55Hey, how about you speed this up?
13:57Would you shut up? I'm thinking here! I just need a second, okay?
14:02Yeah, you can think all you want, but it won't change your hand.
14:05A gambling tournament to decide the next king?
14:08It was the old king's dying wish. Apparently, he wanted the next ruler to be humanity's greatest gambler or something.
14:15Huh. So even the ruler is decided by a game.
14:18The red-headed girl is Stephanie Dola. She's the granddaughter of the former king, but because of his will, she can't inherit the throne.
14:27So she's entered the gambling tournament as well.
14:31Hey, Shiro, are you, uh, doing okay?
14:34I'm good.
14:39What's the matter? Got a crush?
14:40Yeah, right. I was just wondering if you were gonna enter this thing.
14:45Who, me? Oh no, this is all I need right here, kiddo.
14:48And besides, Kurumi over there is so strong that most of the other players have already pulled out before they have the chance to lose.
14:56In other words, you're too scared to enter.
14:59What'd you say?
15:00So, as long as you don't actually lose to her, you can go home and tell all your friends whatever you want, am I right?
15:07I won because she was so pathetic I let her go.
15:10Hm.
15:10Well, aren't you something?
15:14So let's play, little boy.
15:16Sorry, but I don't play for fun. You gotta put something on the line. Like that bag of cash.
15:21What? Do you know how much is in here?
15:23The deal is that we have to bet something of equal value or it isn't official.
15:27Pledge three, right? I suppose that's fair.
15:30Mm.
15:30How's this? You can do whatever you want with the two of us. Our lives are yours.
15:35Sell us, leave us to die, your choice.
15:37Oh, seriously?
15:39Why not?
15:40Wha-
15:40We'll play a single hand of poker.
15:42Uh...
15:43What do you say?
15:44I'd love to show one of the locals how it's done.
15:47Confident, huh? Better watch that mouth of yours.
15:51All right. Have it your way.
15:54I swear by the pledges.
15:56I swear by the pledges.
16:01Ashente!
16:07Just a stupid redneck kid with more confidence than experience.
16:12A bluff like that might work on the backwards dolts in your village.
16:17But not here!
16:21Sara.
16:25Oh no! Run into some bad luck? Poor baby.
16:29Yeah. I started the day with a 10,000 meter skydive, then walked forever under the blazing sun,
16:34through some screwed up wilderness. Definitely a bad day.
16:37You did what now?
16:39Just forget I said anything. You ready?
16:42Ready? And waiting. How about you?
16:46Perhaps you'd like to draw cards again.
16:48No thanks. We're cool.
16:49Oh. In that case...
16:52Too bad, kiddo!
16:54Full house, asshole!
16:56Oh, you're right. That is too bad.
16:58Huh?
17:00Huh?
17:05Royal!
17:08Strange!
17:10Fly!
17:13Oh, no way! No freaking water!
17:16Uh, yeah, wait.
17:17That's more than one in six million odds!
17:20Yep, and you just got really unlucky.
17:22But how?
17:23But how?
17:24Pledge six. All bets must be upheld, am I right? So pay off.
17:30Just...
17:31Who are you people?
17:34Nobody's special. Just...
17:35A new player in town.
17:45Sora, that was mean. Could've at least tried to hide you were cheating.
17:50Well, let's review pledge number eight, shall we?
17:52Being caught cheating during a game means an instant loss. In other words, if you're not caught, it's fine.
17:57How much is in there?
18:00No clue.
18:02Well, just leave it to me. Big Bro is an expert at negotiations.
18:07I'll take a room. One bed will be just fine.
18:10How many nights would this get me?
18:13Just one night.
18:15I'm really tired. Come on, dude. You gonna tell me how many nights I can really stay here?
18:19If you're trying to cheat someone, you should pay more attention to your tone and where you're looking at.
18:25Fine. Two nights, then.
18:27Man, you really are not good at this.
18:30Listen, Pierre. If you're gonna lie, you better be careful who you do it to.
18:35Okay?
18:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:37Okay, four nights. Awesome.
18:40Hey, kid. What's your name?
18:44You can just leave it blank.
18:45Sorry for the wait, Shiro.
18:51That girl's about to lose it.
18:53No kidding. Doesn't look like anyone taught her what poker face means.
18:57Unlike her opponent. Hmm. She's cheating.
19:01Think so. Yeah. But how?
19:05It doesn't make sense.
19:06Now, wait a minute.
19:11Something else is going on here.
19:17Seriously?
19:19You can fold whenever you want.
19:20Would you please shut up already?
19:22Just be quiet and focus on your own cards, all right?
19:31Finally!
19:31Listen. That girl is cheating.
19:46Hey, you still playing or what?
19:48Huh? Oh, yes, of course I am!
19:52Smartphones, DSPs, tablet PC. I got the battery and the solar charger, cables and everything.
20:00Is this it?
20:01Well, all things considered, after everything that happened today, I'd say we're lucky to have this much.
20:06I can't connect.
20:08Figures.
20:10This really is an honest-to-god fantasy world.
20:14And the way she was cheating, that was like its own fantasy, too.
20:19Sora?
20:20Can you beat real magic?
20:28I guess that was a dumb question.
20:32Hey, Shiro.
20:34Usually in, like, comics and stuff, when the main characters end up in another world,
20:38they try their best to find a way home, right?
20:46But why would they want to go back to a world if it's total...
20:51shit?
20:51I thought the same thing.
21:10Well, then it's settled.
21:12Let the real...
21:18Let the real...
21:28Shiro, as your brother, I'm really happy that you love me so much, but let go of me for a second.
21:41Who's there?
21:45Come on, man.
21:45I paid up front already.
21:53Would it be okay if I came in for a second?
21:58We're gonna save the day?
22:00Sure, why not?
22:01It'll be fun, right?
22:02We're gonna save the day.
22:19Shiro, as your brother, I'm really happy that you love me so much, but let go of me for a second.
22:24Who's there?
22:28Come on, man.
22:29I paid up front already.
22:36Would it be okay if I came in for a second?
22:40We're gonna save the day?
22:43Sure, why not?
22:44It'll be fun, right?
22:45I'll give it to you.
22:51Look at that journey.
22:54Should I be fine?
22:56Come...
22:57Look at that.
22:58This is the point.
23:00Think of the chance of seeing this is not the one possible person who has not aked.
