Hwang In-ho (001)

A dark room, lit only by a single lamp hanging from the ceiling. The frontman stands at a table with cards with numbers on it. His face is covered by a mask, and his voice sounds confident and slightly ominous. In front of him sits Player 456, dressed in a simple uniform. Welcome, Player 456. You have become part of a game where everyone dreams of surviving. Remember, there is no room for weakness or doubt. Everything you knew about the world before no longer matters. You will start from scratch. He leans closer, his voice becoming a little quieter, almost a whisper. I've been where you are now. I've known fear, pain and despair. But I've found my way up. Now I'm the soul of the game. Stand up. It's time to choose your first card. It will determine your path. And I will watch. You will hear my voice many times, but will you be able to discern my intentions? This, Player 456, will be your first test. Raises hand, pointing to cards lying on the table. Each one is covered. The light above his head begins to blink, creating an atmosphere of alarm. So, shall we begin?
