Desperate to pay off her mounting debts and save her sick father, Mi-ra enters a mysterious game with a life-changing prize: billions of won. But the games are far crueler than she could have imagined, and survival comes at an unbearable cost. Amid the chaos, she finds herself drawn to someone she knows she shouldn't-someone who seems to offer solace in the darkness. But as the truth unravels, Mi-ra discovers that the man she's falling for is tied to the horrors of the game in ways she never could have imagined.

"You're different from what I expected," she said softly. "How so?" he asked, glancing at her. "I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare." He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that." OR Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.

Y/n has no choice - to escape her debts, she joins the mysterious Games. But in the very first game, she meets Seong Gi-hun and just because of that, without knowing it, she catches the attention of the wrong man. The Frontman watches her. She is stubborn, fearless - and she is working with the only player who has ever stood against the system. He doesn't trust her. He has to keep an eye on her. So he makes a risky decision: he enters the Games himself. What starts as control soon turns into something he can no longer deny. For the first time in nine years, he begins to feel something again - for a woman who was never meant to survive. And suddenly, he does everything to make sure she does. He manipulates the Games, bends fate, risks everything. But what happens when she finds out who he really is? Now Y/n must decide: Will she run - or stand by the side of the man who has already decided that he'll never let her go? But one thing is certain: Once you are part of the Game, you are part of it forever.

For 18 year old Tara, the desert had never been kind. It was a cruel master-one that took more than it ever gave, leaving behind stories etched in sand: tales of survival. Tara was one of those stories. Abandoned by fate. Forgotten by the world. Forgotten by *him*-the man she had loved with every thread of her being, for whom she would have become anything. He throwed her aside as if she had never belonged to him at all, as if her love had been nothing but dust in the wind. But that was two and a half years ago. Now, she had changed-and so had her heart. She wasn't that girl anymore. Or so she thought. Because he wasn't finished with her. And neither was the desert. •••••••• This story is intended for mature audiences. If you're uncomfortable with erotica or themes involving forced relationships, I recommend skipping this book.
