The story features fifteen Minecraft Youtubers and one AuthorAvatar, each considered to be the top of their respective fields, being invited to participate in some bizarre gameshow. Regardless of their choices in attending, strange events lead to them being trapped in a twisted warehouse, run by the sadistic and psychotic [[BigBad Monowither]]. Soon, the Wither reveals that the only way to leave their predicament is to kill somebody else and not get caught. Taking place from the perspective of the ''Super Duper Minecrafter Level Sorcerer'', AKA, Seto, he slowly begins to realize something: ''In this prison, every single one of them was capable of murdering another.''
