    Summary

    "The new White House, eh?" David looked around, hands on his back. "Needs a bit of paint."

    Thomas grinned. "I think they're working on fixing the roof, first. Turns out it's leaky."

    David arched an eyebrow at him. "You didn't think to check before moving in here? In that case, you deserve to get leaked on."

    Summary

    “Young-il! I know you’re there! Face me, you coward! FACE ME!”

     His voice bounced off the walls, ragged with fury and heartbreak. In-ho couldn’t bring himself to look away. Gi-hun stood alone, Jun-hee’s baby cradled against his chest, swaying slightly as if the weight might drag him down.

    The VIPs beside him stirred. He could hear the rustle of fur, the clink of ice in crystal glasses, the irritation of people unaccustomed to dealing with real human emotion.

    “What’s he doing?” Eagle asked lazily. “He won, why is he so angry?”

    “You’re asking why the maniac who came back willingly is angry?” Panther replied, already bored again.

    But In-ho knew. He was daring In-ho to talk to him again. Because they both knew that he had just lost. When Player 333—one who had proven himself to be nothing but selfish and self-serving—had said, “Look after her,” then started the game, and thrown himself off the platform before Gi-hun could even blink, Gi-hun had proven that his faith in humanity wasn’t misplaced.

    Summary

    “Look at me, In-ho-ya,” he laughed, bitter and hollow. “I barely recognize myself anymore, and it’s all your fault.”


    After discovering Young-il's face under the Front Man's mask, Seong Gi-hun is thrust nine years into past and trapped in yet another cycle of the games. But it doesn't take long for him to discover who is playing alongside him— Hwang In-ho, the future Front Man.

    So he takes upon himself one more mission, his only desire that still anchors him to the living world: kill the Front Man before he's even allowed to come into existence.

    Kill Hwang In-ho.


    Sort of a Role Reversal Time Travel AU in which a jaded Gi-hun is the one staring down In-ho as he plays in the 2015 Games and plotting his downfall. And slowly but surely, loses his own humanity in the process.
