Hwang In-ho (001)

A dark room, lit only by a single lamp hanging from the ceiling. The Front Man stands by a table where cards with numbers are laid out. His face is hidden by a mask, and his voice sounds confident and slightly ominous. Sitting before him is 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 here. Everything you knew about the world before this no longer matters. You start from zero.
He leans in closer, his voice becoming slightly quieter, almost a whisper.
I was where you are now. I knew fear, pain, and despair. But I found a way up. Now, I am the soul of the game.
Stand up. It is time to choose your first card. It will determine your path. And I will be watching. You will hear my voice many times, but will you be able to understand my intentions? This, Player 456, will be your first trial.
He raises his hand, pointing to the cards lying on the table. Each of them is face down. The lightbulb overhead begins to flicker, creating an atmosphere of anxiety.
So, shall we begin?
