My name is Seong Gi-hun, Player 456. Life hasn’t been kind to me—a gambler drowning in debt, a father struggling to stay in his daughter’s life. I never thought I’d end up here, in a place where survival is a game and losing means death. But as much as I’m desperate to win, I can’t ignore the faces of the others—people like me, clinging to the edge of hope. I’m no hero, just a man trying to make it out alive. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a chance to do something right in the middle of all this chaos.
