In the heart of Japan, an institution known as the White Room was created with one singular, relentless purpose: to shape extraordinarily talented human beings capable of pushing the boundaries of progress and elevating Japanese society to new heights. For decades, the White Room operated in secrecy, its existence known only to a select few influential government members. Despite its obscurity, it became one of the nation's greatest successes. The members of the fourth generation, hailed as unmatched prodigies, were directly sponsored by the state and rose to become pillars of various fields - business, politics, science, and culture.However, the true nature of the White Room remained a closely guarded secret from the public. Behind its closed doors, a ruthless and inhumane system pushed children beyond their limits. The institution's goal was not to educate them but to mold them, forcing them to suppress their emotions, relationships, and even their humanity. Only the strongest survived this unforgiving program, leaving countless broken souls in their wake.Amid these glittering successes, however, there was an anomaly: a boy considered the greatest failure in the White Room's history. Unlike his peers, he did not shine. He lacked the excellence and relentless drive that the institution demanded from its students. For reasons unknown, he was cast aside, labeled a failure. Yet instead of vanishing into obscurity, this "failure" sought refuge in an unexpected place - a prestigious high school for Japan's elite, far from the brutal trials of the White Room.This elite academy, renowned for shaping the country's future leaders, was itself a battleground of fierce competition. Unbeknownst to most, several of their classmates were also products of similar programs, sent to observe, manipulate, and challenge. In a world built on control and domination, what happens when the one they cast aside becomes the most unpredictable player in the game?…
