The episode begins with Ryouta and Himiko still on the move, trying to avoid any potential threats. They come across a seemingly abandoned building and decide to explore it. Soon after entering, they come across a young boy named Kiyoshi who becomes fearful of Ryouta due to the competitive nature of the game. After calming him down, Ryouta learns that Kiyoshi was tricked into believing that Btooom! was just a video game by his own brother, who then threw him into the real-life game setting. Along with his brother, Kiyoshi's friends also joined in the game.

Kiyoshi tells Ryouta and Himiko that his brother is known as the "White Ghost," and he has been taking down participants in the game with ease. As Ryouta and Himiko continue towards the game's objective, they come across a group of players obscured by the dense fog. The group initially treats them with hostility, but soon realizes that Ryouta is a formidable player in his own right.

However, as they continue their journey toward the game's objective, they encounter White Ghost himself. The showdown between Ryouta and the White Ghost begins with the White Ghost trying to kill Ryouta's team. However, Ryouta proves to be very resourceful, and he successfully outsmarts the White Ghost. With the help of Kiyoshi, the White Ghost is defeated, and Ryouta and Himiko proceed to the next level of the game.
