A Betting Game in which Instead of Horses...it's Humans...

Lives at Stake at Every Passing Round

A Life Sacrificed, More Money Earned

6 GAMES - 456 PLAYERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PLAYER 83-

Just another poor soul risking his life to be rich...or is he really.

Not Everyone knows Everything

Is PLAYER 83 really just a random player destined to lose his life... or ... something more.

Don't Judge A Book by it's Cover

People have Secrets. Some, Glaringly Obvious. And Some, Will Never See the Light of Day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Writing this just a few hours after watching squid game. I'm just another person wanting to add my own character in a narrative that is already a masterpiece. 

Warning:
Major plot change
Basic squid game warnings
No romance...unless...nah just kidding...no romance... Thirsty people
Based of the Dub version (does that change anything?)

~~~~~~~~~

Note from future me:
I just realized how shit this fanfic I made is..... I ain't gonna edit it cuz I'm lazy, but this comes as a warning to readers. I didn't follow the "show, don't tell rule"....
I've been researching a bit about how to make good stories and rereading parts of this story made me cringe. The dry-boring-unnecessary begining; basically unusual out of nowhere obsession; a whole effing back story in one chapter that is sorta generic; OP mc; also sloppy writing.... Anyways... This comes as a warning.

Thankyou for the people who read this fanfic til the end, especially to those who even voted for this.

Also- um amazed about the fact that Squid game still has fanfic readers even tho it's no longer as popular and hyped as when it came out.

Counts Total words: 120,757 Average words per chapter: 1,589 Amount of chapters: 76 ~~~ Y/N is a girl from America who recently moved to South Korea. She's just getting settled in when she meets an interesting salesman. He tells her that she can play games for money. Making a little money won't hurt... or will it? She'll find out when she decides to join the games. She may also find more than wealth and death in the walls. Maybe she'll find love. This story is a slowburn that includes some enemies to lovers themes/undertones. The reader is female! ~~~ NOTES/ANNOUNCEMENTS/WARNINGS: When Y/N is in the games, I basically follow everything in Squid Game Season One, but I changed a few quotes and events to better suit this book and the inclusion of Y/N. The only trait I have assigned to Y/N is her player number: 055. You can imagine something else though! It won't be very important later on. Some possible triggers including: recurring PTSD, grief, mental breakdowns, drinking, hangovers, very brief sexual assault, detailed sexual assault, etc. More time-specific warnings will be present with the start of each chapter. No warnings = nothing I think will be particularly bad. There's strong language and constant mentions of death as almost this entire story is hosted in a facility that runs death games.

"your pastimes, consisted of the strange, and twisted and deranged. " thanos x female reader ! ❀ ────୨ৎ──── Your life isn't all glamorous. Mornings kickstart with steaming mugs of coffee; scrawled orders on flimsy receipts, an infinite buzz of café chatter fills the air. You wipe down counters, take orders with a polite smile, and try not to spill oat milk on your apron during the rush hour. It's not where you want to be forever, but for now, it pays the bills as you chase something more-pursuing your music. You aren't famous. Not yet, at least. They don't play your songs on the radio; your name isn't trending on social media, yet you write about things that matter: heartbreak, growing pains, the messy in-between bits of life, love, and loss. Your sound is raw and emotional, the kind of pop that has folks screaming lyrics in their cars at night. For now, though, it's acquiesce: some flimsy idea up there, somewhere, between your bedroom and the tiny gigs you play on weekends. And then he walks in. Choi Su-bong also known as Thanos-the next big underground rap scene voice. The name that everyone has been whispering about. A star on the rise, complete with sharp lyrics and a sharper reputation on the brink of attaining mega-stardom. Everyone in the café is sneaking glances at him and whispering behind their cups, phones discreetly angled to capture the moment. You take in how they are responding to him-how their eyes bore into him-but you don't know who he is. To you, he's just another customer standing in line. No gasps, no double takes, no fan-induced frenzy. Just a guy ordering a drink; so you scribble down his order, punch it in the register, and that's that. Maybe that's what makes him notice you. Because in a world where everyone knows his name, you're the first person who doesn't. And somehow, that changes everything.
Underneath It All (001xY/N fanfiction) by NovaCarlson
8 parts Ongoing
Y/N doesn't care if she survives the game. At 18, she's already been through more than most people her age could even imagine. She moved to Korea hoping for a fresh start, but instead, she got buried in debt. Life's been tough, and it's clear that it doesn't care about her, just like the games she's stuck in. Sarcastic, defiant, and independent, Y/N isn't here to make friends or play nice. Her plan is simple: survive each round and keep her head down. But one player won't leave her alone. Oh Young-il, Player 001, seems harmless at first. He's older, quiet, and mostly just watches everyone else. He steps in to help when no one else will, acting like an ally to the struggling players. Y/N doesn't trust him. She's seen enough to know that kindness doesn't come for free. What she doesn't know is that Young-il is hiding a huge secret. He's actually Hwang In-ho, the Frontman of the games. His whole persona is a lie, made up to sabotage Seong Gi-hun's plan to stop the game. By pretending to be a friend, In-ho keeps the game-and his control-running smoothly. Y/N's sharp tongue and stubborn attitude catch In-ho's eye right away. She doesn't back down, no matter how tough things get. At first, In-ho's interested because she could be useful, either as an ally or a threat. But the more he watches her, the harder it is to stay distant. Y/N makes it clear she doesn't need Young-il's protection. But as the games get worse, their paths keep crossing, and they start to form an uneasy alliance. In-ho finds himself drawn to her, even though he knows it's dangerous for both of them. PS: Y/N's appearance is left up to your imagination. Feel free to picture her however you like, whether it's her age, look, or style-she can be anyone you want her to be.
