Hashigo Yakusoku is a fifteen-year-old boy who lives in Heiwamachi, a small town in Japan. He's been taking martial arts classes in an attempt to suppress his deep-seated hatred of himself, but he has the same amount of talent for that as he does for everything else: zero. He slowly comes to the realization that his life has no meaning. On January 26th, 2121, he is kidnapped by a man wearing a black kimono. He, along with six other strangers, will participate in the Hanketsu Project, an experiment of death. One person will be killed every hour. They have seven hours to escape. Will Hashigo survive? Will anyone survive? Or have the gods already sealed their fates?

After surviving a near-death experience, Hashigo Yakusoku has sworn revenge against the organization that kidnapped him. The organization's name is Chikyu Kamigami, and its goals are currently unknown. Standing at Hashigo's side are his two best friends, his teacher, and his mother. Do the five of them stand a chance against Chikyu Kamigami, or are they doomed to join the organization's long list of victims?

Over a year has passed since Hashigo Yakusoku first started training to fight Chikyu Kamigami. Thanks to his training, he is a stronger person than he was a year ago, and he is more confident in his ability to protect his friends and family. He needs to be careful, however, because his enemies are aware of his development and are keeping a close eye on him. If he's not careful, then all of his hard work will be rendered meaningless. Will Hashigo be able to continue on his quest to defeat Chikyu Kamigami, or will he fall victim to their scheming?
