Squid game (Forsaken AU)

007n7—a former hacker who retired to look after his son, "Coolkid"—has a bad reputation due to his past, except among Chance, Guest 1337, and Shedletsky. He has a strained relationship with Elliot; back before he had Coolkid, he used to burn down the pizzeria, causing havoc and chaos, which led Elliot to permanently ban him. Now a single father, he is fair-skinned with thin, curly brown hair and wears a hamburger hat topped with a small yellow head.

The votes are based on the third clause of the contract signed by the participants: "If the majority of players agree to terminate the contract, the game will end immediately." The organization mandates that these votes take place in the communal dormitory after a game is completed. 2. The Voting Process The Podium: A central structure is placed in the dormitory with a giant screen behind it. The podium features two physical push-buttons: an "O" button and an "X" button. The Vote: Players approach the podium one by one, escorted by armed guards. Abstention is not permitted. Pressing "O" signifies a vote to CONTINUE playing for the grand prize. Pressing "X" signifies a vote to END the game and go home. The Live Counter: The giant screen records votes in real time (e.g., O: 45 | X: 42). All participants watch the balance shift, creating immense psychological pressure on the players at the end of the line, who bear the weight of deciding everyone's fate. 3. Consequences of the Result An absolute majority (half the surviving players plus one) is required for the game to end. If "X" (End) wins: The game is immediately cancelled. Survivors are sedated, removed from the island, and released back into civilization. If "O" (Continue) wins or there is a tie: The game proceeds mandatorily. Anyone refusing to participate in the next challenge is immediately executed. 4. Identification and Segregation System Once a player presses their button, anonymity is completely lost due to the arena's control rules: The Mandatory Patch: After casting their vote, the player receives a physical Velcro patch displaying the symbol they chose (O or X). They are required to attach it to their chest, next to their player number. Dormitory Division: The dormitory is split in half. The guards force the players wearing the "O" patch to move to one side of the bunk beds, and those with the "X" patch to the opposite side. Coming face-to-face.

There are 456 players (including those assigned). They are on an inescapable island in the middle of nowhere, teeming with armed guards whose faces are concealed by masks bearing specific shapes (square, triangle, or circle). Each game takes place in a different setting—one room per game. Players can kill one another. When a player dies, the prize money increases. Everyone is there due to massive debts. After the games, they are taken to a room with stacked beds (giant bunk beds), where players can form alliances and build barricades. There are separate restrooms for men and women. They were all brought there believing they would play innocent games, but whenever a player is eliminated, they die, and the prize money accumulates for each player. If more than one player wins, the money is split among them. Voting takes place every night after the game. The players are led through colorful corridors, escorted by guards.

Underneath, they wear a white shirt with a green collar and sleeves, featuring the player's assigned number in the center. Jacket / Sweatshirt Color: Dark teal with a wide white stripe running across the shoulders and the tops of the sleeves. Details: * Full-length black front zipper. High collar (sport/casual style). Ribbed cuffs and waistband in the same teal shade. Features the participant's assigned number, printed in white inside a box on the left side of the chest. Pants Color: Same dark teal-green shade.

All the characters in the game wear this outfit; they will not change or remove it while playing.

1. Red Light, Green Light The concept: The game that opened the first edition is repeated, but this time the players benefit from the prior experience of Seong Gi-hun, who attempts to coordinate them to mitigate the initial slaughter. The rules: Participants line up behind a starting line and must cross a massive courtyard to reach the finish line on the other side. Facing them is a gigantic animatronic doll that sings a melody while standing with its back turned. While the doll sings, players are allowed to move forward. The moment the song stops, the doll turns around and activates a thermal and visual scanning system in its eyes; any player who makes even the slightest movement is detected and executed on the spot by hidden shooters. Everything must be completed within a strict time limit.

2. Six-Legged Pentathlon The concept: A relay race and station-based challenge relying entirely on forced teamwork, where a lack of group coordination proves fatal. The rules: Players must organize into teams of five. Group members are tethered or chained together at the ankles in a single-file line (hence the name "six-legged," referring to the chain-like connection points). The entire team must complete a course consisting of five consecutive stations within a maximum time of five minutes. At each station, a designated team member must successfully complete a different traditional Korean game before the whole group can move on to the next stop: Station 1 - Ddakji: The player must forcefully throw a folded paper square against another lying on the ground, aiming to flip it over completely upon impact. Station 2 - Biseokchigi (Stone Throwing): The participant must skillfully throw a small stone to strike and knock down a stone or block placed on the ground at a certain distance. Station 3 - Gonggi: A game of mental and manual agility similar to Jacks. The player must toss a small plastic piece or stone into the air, pick up the required number of pieces from the table, and catch the original piece in mid-air before it falls, progressing through various levels of difficulty. Station 4 - Paengi Chigi (Spinning Top): The player must wrap a cord around a traditional wooden top and throw it onto the ground with the correct force and angle to keep it spinning steadily. Station 5 - Jegichagi (The Jegi): The final leg of the course. The participant must kick a lightweight object made of paper and fringe (the jegi, similar to a badminton shuttlecock) five consecutive times using their foot—without letting it touch the ground—all while dragging the weight of their tethered teammates. Elimination: If the overall 5-minute timer reaches zero and the entire team has not crossed the final finish line after completing the 5 challenges, all team members are executed.

3. Mingle (Gathering / Grouping Up) The Concept: A massive, psychological, and deadly variation of musical chairs or "the ship is sinking." The Rules: Surviving contestants walk and move in circles around a giant rotating platform (a carousel) while music plays over the loudspeakers. At a random moment, the music stops completely, and a computerized voice announces a specific number over the speakers. The Objective: Players must immediately run to the numbered rooms around the perimeter and form tight-knit groups consisting of the exact number of people requested. Groups with fewer or more members than the dictated number are not permitted. Elimination: Any contestants left outside the rooms, those left over after trying to force their way into a full group, or those whose groups do not mathematically match the exact announced figure are immediately executed inside the hall.

The Environment: Players are transported to a massive arena featuring labyrinthine corridors, blind corners, moving structures, and multiple vertical levels, mimicking a large-scale neighborhood filled with obstacles. The Rules: * Participants have a brief window at the start to scatter across the map and find a hiding spot. Once the grace period ends, "seekers"—automated units and armed guards—begin patrolling the area. The playing field is equipped with motion sensors and high-tech cameras that constantly scan the map. If a player makes too much noise, moves abruptly, or is visually spotted by patrols while in hiding, their location is immediately revealed. Elimination: The moment a player is discovered or their position is pinpointed by a seeker, an automated weapon system activates, or guards open fire directly on them, eliminating them on the spot. Only those who manage to remain completely hidden and silent until the main timer reaches zero survive.

The Setting: A platform suspended high above the abyss of the main arena, divided into sections or stations for the remaining participants. The Rules: Surviving players position themselves in a line or in small subgroups on the elevated structure. A massive mechanical rope (or a high-tension cable connected to a central motor) begins to sweep across the platform. Each player must jump over the rope at the precise moment it approaches their feet. As the clock ticks down, the mechanism abruptly alters the variables: the rotation speed increases drastically, the rope’s direction reverses without warning, or changes in rhythm are introduced to disrupt the players' coordination. Elimination: Tripping over the rope, misjudging a jump due to fatigue, or losing one's rhythm not only disrupts the flow of the game but also results in the player being violently knocked off the platform into the void by the force of the impact, or triggers an instant execution mechanism involving a free-fall drop.

The Setting: The ultimate final challenge takes place between the last remaining finalists in the most spectacular and dangerous arena: a gigantic board shaped like the "squid" figure (connected circle, triangle, and square) suspended in mid-air by steel cables, surrounded by an absolute void. The Rules: The rules of the traditional Korean children's game are strictly observed but adapted for a no-holds-barred duel to the death: The finalists toss a coin to determine their roles: Attacker and Defender. The Attacker begins on the outside (at the bottom, the "tail" of the squid) and faces a massive physical disadvantage: they must hop on one leg while moving across the diagram. However, if they manage to cross the squid's narrow "neck" by leaping over the Defender, they are permitted to place both feet on the ground, gaining full freedom of movement. The Defender is positioned within the boundaries of the squid's body and may use both legs from the start. Their mission is to intercept the Attacker and prevent them from advancing at all costs. The Attacker's ultimate goal is to fight their way forward—using punches, shoves, and sheer brute force—until they step onto the small section of the upper circle (the squid's "head") to claim victory. The Defender's goal is to block the Attacker or shove them outside the board's lines. As this is the final round and the conclusion of the tournament, the use of short-bladed weapons (knives)—distributed during the preceding dinner—is permitted. There are no combat rules or referees; all-out violence is allowed. Elimination: A player loses their life instantly if fatally stabbed during the struggle or if forcefully pushed off the suspended board, falling directly into the void. The last participant left standing on the platform, or the Attacker who manages to touch the squid's head, is crowned the overall winner of the 45.6 billion dollars.

Special Round: Lights Out (Special Game / Rebellion) What it is: Although it takes place within the dormitories and lacks a formal game arena, it is directly instigated by the organizers to thin the ranks of the competitors. The rules: During the nightly rest period, the main dormitory lights are completely turned off, and a limited supply of food and improvised weapons is distributed. Capitalizing on the deep political divisions among participants—fueled by the mandatory "O" (stay) and "X" (leave) voting system—factions attack one another in total darkness. There are no combat rules; survival depends entirely on physical strength, alliances, and the brutality of direct attacks within the dormitory block.
