Summary
“He’s a sweet thing. I know you’ll enjoy him,” he grins. “It took a long time to train him, but it’s been rewarding. He’s very docile now.”
Bile rises in his throat, “Sajangnim, I can’t. This is…this feels wrong.”
He scoffs, “In-ho-ssi, for several years, you sent hundreds of people to their deaths in elaborate games on that island. But you balk at the idea of keeping a pet? I know he will be useful to you. He’s a former victor after all. Surely, you can find something in common with him.”
In-ho receives a special gift from his dying, ailing mentor. Little does he know, Seong Gi-hun is about to change his life forever (Dead Dove Warning)

Summary
Hwang Inho was desperate. Desperate enough to take a chance on a half-whispered promise, on a strange card pressed into his palm, on any way out that sounded even halfway real. What choice did he have? The world had already closed its fist. Gihun was dying, and no amount of love, hope, or sheer stubbornness could change it. Only money. So Inho would do anything, risk anything, to save him.
But the second the first gunshot cracked through the air, every illusion shattered. Fairness, control, the idea that any of this could be played clean—gone. The bodies fell. The Games started. Suddenly, it wasn’t about money at all. It was about surviving.
Because if he didn’t… Gihun wouldn’t, either. And Inho wasn’t ready to let him go.

Summary
Gi-hun thinks back to a ridiculous picture book Ga-yeong had about ancient Greek mythology. He remembers the story of Persephone and Hades.
Six cursed pomegranate seeds. Six games. The similarities are almost funny.

Summary
Gihun’s life revolves around making everything perfect for Sangwoo - his home, his meals, even his silence. But perfection comes at a price, and Gihun’s quiet longing for something more feels like a betrayal he can't admit. When an unexpected opportunity at Young Il Electronics draws him into the orbit of CEO Hwang Inho, Gihun begins to glimpse a different kind of attention - soft-spoken, calculated, and dangerously enticing.
Caught between the chains of devotion and the pull of manipulation, Gihun must confront what he’s willing to endure, and what it means to finally choose himself.

Summary
"You take risks without thinking," In-ho mused as he watched Gi-hun's fingers tighten around his last chip. "That's why you always lose."
"And yet, here I am. Still playing."
The faintest smirk curled around In-ho’s lips. "Because you don't know how to stop." He leaned in, voice quiet but dangerous. "Tell me, Gi-hun—what happens when there's nothing left to bet but yourself?"
Gi-hun is drowning in debt, In-ho is swimming in wealth as the owner of an exclusive high-stakes casino. Two worlds that should never collide—until one desperate gamble pulls Gi-hun into a life he has yet to understand.
But when the devil asks you to play, can you really afford to say no?

Summary
(I added rape tag bc Gi-hun doesn't know he's being manipulated this entire time)
Gi-hun is married, a ring on his finger, and dutiful house-husband to Inho. So why doesn't he remember this? Come to think of it, why is he locked in this house and pretending everything is fine when the only things he sees in his sleep are the screams of people he cannot put names to? Pink walls, pink soldiers, red stains and gunshots. And always, always the lingering chill that something about this whole arrangement isn't quite right.
But In-ho is a good husband. Sure, Gi-hun's not allowed to leave the house unsupervised, or call his friends. But such is the price to pay for a happily ever after...or is it?
