The members of the group chat pulled out Tanaka from the lake.

"He is not breathing! C-CPR! Perform CPR Fast!" Sora started panicking.

"Let me take care of it" a man said, he had white hair and amber color eyes, he looked like he was just in his 30's.

"Who are you?" everyone asked in Unison!

"It's me Ains," Ains said then tried to use his magic to heal but then he remembered Tanaka doesn't have injuries, he drowned so there was water blocking his breathing, he then explained this to Bang and Bang understood what to do.

Bang used his finger to poke Tanaka in the chest, Tanaka suddenly coughed and spew out water.

*Cough!

Tanaka coughed for few times before he stabilized, "I nearly died there! I saw Bang waving at me on the other side!"

"I'm not dead!" Bang said as he smacked Tanaka's head, though not strong, still, then smiled he was happy that Tanaka was okay, still, his laziness is going to be a problem.

"Are fine now Tanaka? Let me apply some heal to you for possible injuries" Ains said as he healed Tanaka.

"Man, talking about drowning the moment we arrive in another world," Sora said as he scratched his head, just then they noticed the 3 people who also fell with them at the lake came to them.

"Nice to meet you, My name is Kudou Asuka," a fair-skinned young girl of average height with long black hair that she keeps tied back with two red bows, and bright blue eyes.

"I'm Sakamaki Izayoi," he said, he had light blonde hair which spikes downwards in all directions and a set of purple eyes, He wears a pair of white headphones with black straps and a flame logo on each side.

"Kasukabe Yō," the other girl said with a low voice, Yō is a petite young girl with short brown hair that she keeps back with a hair clip.

"Nice to meet you too, Sorry for the late introductions, my name is Bang," Bang said, he then turned his body and introduced the group members.

"Those siblings over there are Sora and Shiro, then the guy who is being healed is Tanaka, then the one healing him is Ains, that guy over there is Maou," Bang introduced, the guys just nodded back as a greeting, Tanaka was now able to stand up but he was still wet, Ains used his magic to dry Tanaka.

"Yosh! Ains will now take care of Tanaka!" Sora suddenly said which startled Ains.

"What!?" Ains looked at him.

"You're the strongest one here, so it's only normal for you to take care of him" Sora reasoned.

"You! get over here!" Ains yelled and started chasing after Sora.

The others ignored them and Izayoi started asking for somethings, but no one knew anything, they can't also just share the existence of the group chat is it was one of the rules of the group chat.

"Well, I guess we got invited, but why isn't there anyone to greet us?" Izayoi said, everyone didn't say anything and just looked around.

"Your right," Kudou said.

"It can't be helped, let's ask that thing hiding in those bushes," Izayoi said

"Oh, you noticed?" Kudou asked.

"Of course, I've never lost at hide-and-seek," Izayoi said then turned his head to the chat group members, "I know you guys had already noticed it right?" Izayoi asked.

"Haha, before we even fell to the lake, I already noticed it," Bang said with a smile.

"Oh, you're an interesting one old man," Izayoi said with a smirk, Bang just smiled at him.

"Looks like the one hiding won't come out, you leave us no choice," Izayoi said then jumped, he flew up from the ground and landed near the tree

*Boom!

The ground was destroyed when Izayoi landed, the chat group members got interested and decided not to do anything, just then they noticed a girl with blue hair, she looks like a cosplayer, she had blue bunny ears on top of her head.

"Is that a cosplay?" Kasukabe asked.

"N-No, I'm not a cosplayer" She explained as she raised her hand in the air but it looks like Izayoi won't let her go and attacked her again.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

*Boom!

The blue rabbit was fast and dodged the attack, she jumped back and landed on a tree branch, just then like a cat, Kasukabe jumped from branch to branch and followed the blue rabbit girl.

"Birds, stop that woman!" Kudou who was beside them suddenly spoke, then a flock of birds came and blocked the blue rabbit from jumping, the blue rabbit fell down to the ground with her butt, "Ouch..." she yelled from pain.

Izayoi and Kasukabe returned back to the group and stood up with them, they could now clearly see the blue rabbit girl.

"I-imouto, do you see what I see?"Sora said.

"Yes," Shiro nodded, they then looked at each other, then they yelled in unison, "ZA WARUDO!" the world suddenly turned gray, then when it returned to its colors, Sora and Shiro was already beside the blue rabbit and was rubbing and squishing her ears.

"Huh?" they looked at Sora and Shiro's original position which was at the very back, "What?" they were surprised.

"..."

Everyone took turns in groping the black rabbit ears, she introduced herself as Black Rabbit, even though she was color blue, anyways, after everyone had their share of 'groping' the ears, they let her be, Black rabbit rested for a bit before standing up and calming herself.

"Welcome to the Garden, Everyone!" She welcomed.

"The Garden?" Kudou asked.

"Yes! In order to give you the once in a lifetime chance to participate in the auspicious Gift Games, We have invited you to our world!!" Black Rabbit explained.

"Gift Games?" Kasukabe asked.

"Although you all maybe aware but some of you are not normal beings, well for the three of you, your special abilities are gifts from various deities, demon, spirits, stars, In other words, they are blessings."Black rabbit said as she pointed at Izayoi, Kasukabe, and Kudou.

"In gift games, you will use those blessings and sometimes put them at stake in a competitive game, the garden was created for such games!" Black rabbit added.

"Do we have to put our abilities at stake?" Kudou raised her hand and asked.

"Not necessarily, you can wager various things, such as your gifts, money, property, privileges, honor, and people, the greater your stake, the greater the price, However, In order to earn those prizes, you must meet the conditions that the hosts present and win the game."

"What is a host?" Bang raised his hand and asked.

"Hosts run and lead the Gift Games." Black rabbit said.

"Can anybody be a host?" Kudou asked.

"As long as you have the price to offer, yes, a host could be anything from a diety to a local shop owner, and the games can range from deadly, grueling challenges to simple prize drawings, there's more than enough to choose from!" Black rabbit said.

Izayoi raised his hand, "How about these guys?" he asked as he pointed at the group chat members.

"They are kinda special and I don't have enough authority nor will ever have the power to tell," Black rabbit said then she looked at the group members, she counted them then saw Tanaka who was sleeping, she felt someone is missing but she can't point it out.

She ignored him, "Now I know you all have many questions so I will explain it with this simple game." Black rabbit said and took out a card from somewhere.

"What?" Izayoi asked confused.

"The world has things called 'Communities' Also known as societies, cliques groups, All residents of this world must belong to a community, No, actually, rather, simply surviving is impossible without a community." Black rabbit said as she finished shuffling the cards then she snapped her fingers, then a table appeared above her and fell down to the ground.

"I wouldn't mind inviting you to my community but I need to know that you can win these gift games, you would be useless otherwise, you'd be nothing but a burden, we'd be better without you," Black rabbit provoked.

"Thank you for the praise," Tanaka suddenly woke up and blushed.

They ignored him and looked at Black Rabbit, Izayoi smirked then said, "So you're gonna test us, right?"

Black Rabbit again provoked them.

"Explain the rules then," Izayoi said.

"We will use these cards, please pick a face card from these 52 cards, However, you only have one chance! Only one draw per person!" Black rabbit explained.

"Are we allowed to use any means necessary?" Kudou asked.

"As long as you follow the rules, just to let you know, I have the privilege of a judge master, so you cannot bend the rules," Black rabbit said then started explaining how they could not cheat.

"What do we bet?" Ains asked.

"Because you are new to the garden, you do not have to wager anything, I suppose this put your pride at stake, though." Black Rabbit provoked again.

"Hoh," Izayoi said amused.

"What do we get if we win?" Sora asked, with the special effects coming out from his eyes.

"Let's see, I, Black Rabbit, servant of the gods, will follow one of your orders" Black rabbit said.

"Really? Anything?" Izayoi and Sora asked at the same tame with a serious expression, then stared at her breast.

Black rabbit followed their eyesight and immediately hid her breast, "N-Nothing sexual" she said.

The others turned their head to the two, they just shrugged it off, "So what are you guys gonna do?" Izayoi asked.

"Of course, we are in, Blank never backs out in a game, "Sora said as he patted Shiro's head.

"We are also in," Bang said, as the representative of the group.

Kudou and Kasukabe looked at each other and nodded, "Let's do it" Kasukabe said.

"Alright!" Izayoi said and sent a thumbs up.

"The game is on!"Black rabbit said then a scroll-like paper appeared out of thin air.

"What is that?" Kudou asked.

"This is Gease Roll, it is a contract for participating in a game," Izayoi took the paper and showed it to everyone, it the rules and explanation of the game,

"Okay, We got it, but first let me inspect those cards," Izayoi said.

"Go right ahead," Black rabbit allowed them.

Everyone then started checking the cards, except for Tanaka, who went back to sleep again, after a while.

"Now let the games begin!" Black rabbit said.

"I will go first," Izayoi said then went in front.

He then looked at the cards and thanked Black rabbit then he raised his hands and slammed it on one of the cards, "I choose this!" he said then all of the cards flew up in the air and showed all of the cards, everyone went and picked their cards, Tanaka also woke up and took a card.

Black Rabbit was panicking but it was not put in the rules so everyone won easily, Sora got interested in Izayoi, they all had their plans but was destroyed by Izayoi but also let everyone win, then Izayoi took out his card and also won.

They talked for a while and then decided to enter the garden, as the Black rabbit was excited, three people, I mean four because the other one was being carried, left the scene and decided to went at the edge of the world.

As they ran around, they found a person lying on the ground while a big serpent behind him, they got close and saw a man in a suit with yellow hair, "Reigen, what are you doing here?"
