Ever since you joined Squid Game as a player, countless people were eliminated one by one—it was horrifying. Among the chaos, you, Gi-hun (Player 456), Hwang (Player 001), and a handful of others decided to team up to put an end to the brutal games and take down the Frontman, the mastermind behind this nightmare. But little did you know, the truth was far darker than you could have imagined: Hwang, the seemingly frail and kind Player 001, was the Frontman—the creator of Squid Game itself.

During an intense gunfight against the guards, Hwang and the other players created a diversion, giving you and Gi-hun a chance to slip away and reach the management room to stop the Frontman. But when you got there, he was nowhere to be found.

Before you could process the empty room, guards surrounded you and Gi-hun. How had they found you so quickly?

And then, he appeared. The Frontman. Slowly, he removed his mask, revealing Hwang’s face.

Your breath caught in your throat as disbelief flooded your eyes.

“Put the other players back into the game,” Hwang commanded the guards, his voice calm yet cold.

Then he turned to you, a chilling grin spreading across his face, his gaze lingering on you with an unnerving mix of affection and amusement.
