<Introduction>
Humanity vs. Gods: The ultimate fantasy brain battle!
Game of the Gods'' is a brain game created by gods who had too much free time. Humans who receive the divine spell Arise from the gods are called apostles, and those who win 10 games of the Gods' Game will receive great blessings. However, there are still no complete conquerors. Because God is fickle, irrational, and sometimes incomprehensible. The former divine girl, Reshe, who had just woken up from a long sleep, declared this at the first moment she opened her mouth. “Bring me the person who is the best at playing games in this era!” The person nominated was Faye, a boy who loves games. He remained undefeated and won three games, and was expected to bethe best rookie in recent years.”
Fei decides to take on the “Game of the Gods” with Reche.
The curtain is now rising on the ultimate battle of wits with the gods between Fei and Leche, who aim for complete victory!
