    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    Gi-hun, trapped and betrayed, faces the horrifying truth about Young-il, the man he thought was a friend.

    “Why me? Because you let me,” Young-il said, his voice steady and cutting. “You trusted me. You opened the door. You gave me the power to hurt you. And I used it.”

    Between deadly games, impossible choices, and philosophical battles about power and survival, Gi-hun is forced to confront not only the system that created the games—but what he is willing to become in order to stop it.

    Because the line between justice and vengeance is razor-thin. And once you cross it—there’s no going back.

    (The author says: "Alexa, play Toxic!")

    Summary

    In-ho doesn't care who wins, he doesn't even care that the little rebellion ended the competiton, he doesn't even care that his phone is blowing up from the VIPs. He has Seong Gi-hun in the palm of his hand and like hell is he letting this man walk away from him ever again.

    In other words, Hwang In-ho forces the hand of Seong Gi-hun to agree to work under him. Whatever that could possibly mean. Gi-hun finds himself in a Busan penthouse following around In-ho, or rather, having In-ho follow him around.

    Finished with epilogue coming soon
