Lee Yeon-ah has been dealt a bad hand. Orphaned at only ten years old, and in her third foster home in the six years she's been in the foster system. She thought of herself as hopeless. That she will die because she meant nothing to the world.
At sixteen years old, Yeon-ah has only one dream, to take control of her life and make something of herself. But, her plans are quickly ripped to shreds.
While Yeon-ah was approaching rock bottom, a man approached her, presenting her with an opportunity to escape.
Now, Yeon-ah is stuck in the games, where it's either kill or be killed. When the darkness emerges from the bodies of men, will she survive? Or will she succumb to the darkness too?

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
