**SEQUEL TO LOVERS FROM THE PAST**
The initiation was not finished when you were announced as the next host after Il-Nam's passing. You had to be the host for a couple of years, but eventually, per the contract of Il-Nam, you had to enter the games.
It was simple, well kind of. You knew In-ho wouldn't kill you. He'd be fuming that he wasn't informed who the host was but he wouldn't kill you... right? Surely not?
This made your decision easy. It's not like you had a choice anymore, anyhow. But the satisfaction of knowing you could win money, play games, and more than likely not be killed was easy.
The only problem here was that without In-ho knowing that you were chosen as the new host, he was not up for bending the rules. Meaning he didn't tell the guards to spare you should you be eliminated. Therefore, it will be up to you to survive this hell hole...at least until In-ho, or should one say, Young-il arrives. In-ho loves to play games, especially when it comes to initiating someone into the Squid Games. So what's going to happen when he realizes the new host who is being put up for initiation is you? When he realizes that he did not tell a soul who player 225 was and that your life was just as much at stake as any other player?

457 - RETURN: How it should have ended.
In most of the cases, death is a certain end for humans - but for each of us this means something different. Sometimes an end is insufficient, sometimes a story needs to be re-written. If we're on this earth for a reason, then we can't pass away if our life-purpose is not completed yet, even if something unexpected makes our life shift. Sometimes it's just nur your time, even when your clock seems to have arrived at its last tick. Sometimes death isn't the end. And in this 'sometimes', you get the chance at another outcome, one more try to make it right, to shift the fate the way it was supposed to be. Pressing a hidden reset-button, a rare, golden moment to fix the past; to undo the damage that has been done, that wasn't supposed to happen in the first place. One last shot. Seong Gi-hun has been given that chance. But turning back time doesn't work without a cost.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞: 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 (Frontman x OC)
Kim Seo-yeon was a decorated detective-until the system she served decided she was more useful as a scapegoat. Framed for bribery and cast out without trial or defense, she vanished into Seoul's underworld, her name shattered and her savings gone. Debt crushed what dignity she had left. What remained was survival-and a quiet fury she never voiced. When she steps onto the van for the Squid Game, Seo-yeon doesn't flinch. She doesn't beg. She doesn't even look back. She walks in like she planned it. And someone notices. Hwang In-ho-better known as the Front Man-has overseen the deaths of hundreds. But something about Player 132 haunts him. She doesn't panic like the others. She sees the Games for what they are-and worse, she sees through him. As the Games descend into bloodshed, Seo-yeon's past refuses to stay buried. And when she collapses during the final round, it's In-ho who carries her away-not to her death, but to his private quarters. In a world built on silence, surveillance, and cruelty, two people who were never meant to matter begin to see each other. One is a ghost who used to believe in justice. The other is a warden who forgot what it means to be human. Together, they unearth the one truth the Game fears most: Some people don't break. Some people don't disappear. And some people remember who they are-even when the world tries to erase them.Complete
