In the dazzling city of Tokyo, skyscrapers blaze against the night sky as if the city never sleeps. The blare of car horns and bursts of laughter mingle with flashing neon lights, creating a glamorous yet suffocating atmosphere.

Inside a lavish casino, the air is thick with cigarette smoke and mocking laughter.
“Out of money, get out!” the security guard barked just as Mayumi Kazami’s last chips were swept off the table.

He, a true gambler at heart, thirty years old and still unemployed, slowly stood up amid the scornful laughter echoing through the room:
“Ha! Look at him, what a loser!”
“Quit gambling, you piece of trash!”

Mayumi lowered his head without a word and stepped outside. The freezing wind cut like blades, the temperature at minus six degrees Celsius. Snowflakes drifted down onto his thin shoulders, but his heart felt even colder. Just yesterday, his lover had left him too…

He dragged himself back to his shabby apartment. The wooden door creaked; the room inside was empty and gloomy. He opened his wallet—not a single coin left.

He looked into the mirror. A haggard face, messy hair, lifeless eyes.
He let out a hoarse, bitter laugh:
“Trash like you… what’s left to lose, huh, Mayumi?”

Just then, a strange silhouette appeared in the mirror—a bizarre creature with a twisted form and glowing eyes, standing right behind him!

“W-What the hell?!” Mayumi panicked.
He swung his fist, shattering the mirror. CLANG! Glass shards scattered across the floor.

But the creature didn’t disappear. Instead, it lunged straight at him!
THUD! An invisible force slammed him onto the ground.

That… was his Stand, which would later be known as Coinlucky.
Its true power… will be revealed in the episodes to come.

“The story has only just begun…”
