NOT AN ACTUAL NETFLIX SERIES! This is the version where the chapters are over 10k words to make it seem like it's a Netflix season. If it's too long, read the other one. Hwang In-ho is an ex-police officer who was fired a year ago. He struggles to make money to help his pregnant wife, who suffers from acute liver cirrhosis. He joins the 28th Squid Game as Player 132. He is forced to play childhood games, but the cost is way worse than on the playground. In-Ho soon realizes that he has no place to escape unless he wins. He forms friendships and enemies, he works with his team to stay alive. But what will happen when he no longer has that crew? Read Player 132 to find out. (I do not own Squid Game, this is fan fiction. Also, the actors are just for fun I do not know any of them)

THE WINNER WHO STAYED | squid game, 2015
In 2015, Hwang In-ho entered the games not for greed, but for love. With a sick, pregnant wife clinging to life and hospital bills mounting beyond hope, In-ho sees the mysterious game as his last desperate chance. But as he steps into the brutal arena where 456 players compete for billions, he quickly learns that survival demands more than strength - it demands sacrifice. Among the chaos, In-ho finds unlikely allies - like a firefighter haunted by his mistake, a teenage girl too lost for her own good, as well as a K-pop artist hoping to prove herself. Together, they navigate deadly childhood games turned into instruments of terror. Trust becomes currency. Loyalty becomes risk. But with each round, the question looms larger: Can In-ho truly protect those he calls friends - or will survival demand he betray them? As the games grow bloodier and the line between right and wrong blurs, In-ho must face the cost of living... and what he's willing to become to escape.![In-Ho's POV.

In-Ho's POV. [ 001 x 456 ]
001 x 456 / Seong Gi-Hun x Hwang In-Ho enemies to strangers to lovers to enemies to maybe lovers Fluff / Angst THIS IS NOT PROOF READ YET.. (and probably never will be im lazy) Ever since Seong Gi-Hun, a finalist of the 33rd squid games, decided that he wanted to give up the money to save his friend, the Frontman became curious. It's not often that someone with such pure intentions makes it into the 6th game, let alone win. Of course, that feeling was quickly brushed off and forgotten. Atleast until Gi-Hun made it his life's mission to stop the games once and for all. In-Ho caught wind of Gi-Hun's determination and decided to let him join back into the game while he himself also joins. Though he should be stopping the plan he is also curious to see how this plays out. Author's Note: I'm writing this because i keep seeing people completely mischaracterize In-Ho for some reason. I've been thoroughly studying the Hwang Brothers lore that we got in season 1 & 2 because I've just been hyperfixating on those silly middle aged men. Im just gonna say it, English is not my first language im actually German. This fanfic is also on AO3!!Complete

Two previous winners, eun-jin and gi-hun. Back in the games to stop them, once and for all. But the supposed leader "frontman" chased them into the game. Not like other stories where the frontman falls in love with the female lead, instead. He does something else to her, to make gi-hun weak. Please inform me for any grammar mistakes 🫶🏽 I do not own any characters except Eun-Jin and all characters go back to the original show "squid game" on Netflix. Reading this book has spoilers on squid game season 2, if u haven't watched season 1, this will have spoilers for you.Complete
