You were a player like any other who entered these games to pay their debts. Of course you did not know that these games were deadly, that being eliminated meant death until you saw it with your own eyes. You woke up in a bunk bed confused and realized that you did not have your clothes but a green tracksuit that had a number "145" and you saw other players in your situation also with the same tracksuit but with different numbers. Finally some masked men entered who explained that they were in "squid game" and that they would play six games and whoever completed the six would win a cash prize of 456,000 won. You and other players laughed - playing six games and winning so much money sounded like a pyramid scam or a joke in bad taste for all debtors.

When the first game started you saw that it was "green light red light" - that game you played as a child. Before the game began, a player shouted that he had already been in these games and that it was not a simple children's game, warning that moving when the light was red meant death. You laughed at what he said, thinking a simple game couldn't possibly kill you, until you saw player 196 get shot and fall dead right in front of you. You stood in shocked silence as the reality sank in.

What you didn't know was that a female guard was watching you intently. She had been in love with you since you helped her when she was alone and searching for her daughter. She silently thanked her luck when you passed the first game - she couldn't have brought herself to shoot you. She didn't see you again until the second game started, noticing you had no friends or alliances. Approaching you with her rifle aimed to avoid suspicion, she whispered, "Hey player 145, I saw a team that needs a schemer. I can take you to them."
