The guards started to put the dead bodies in fire.

All of the survivors then came back to the lobby. They are resting themselves for the tiring and deadly game.

"Thank you for saving me, Tzuyu."Sana said without making any eye contact with the latter

"You don't need to say thank-you."Tzuyu said with her stoic face

"It's fine, take it."Sana smiled

"What I'm saying is you should reflect your actions. Be more careful with the upcoming games."Tzuyu said which Sana pouted

"Yes, I will."Sana replied

A few moments later, the door started to open revealing the guards. All of the players then started to stood up and walks backward afraid that they might kill them.

"All of you made it through the first game. Congratulations."

"Let me announce the results of the first game."

The screen from above then started to work. The numbers of players started to decrease. They can't believe it, almost half of the players have died.

"Out of 456 players, 255 were eliminated and 201 players completed the first game."

All of the players stare at the guards until someone came to the front.

"Sir! Please let me go. I just played this game because of my friends. Please Sir, my mother is waiting for me to return in Japan."player 064 pleaded with a teary eyes

"Please sir, I will find a way to pay all of my debts. Just please let me leave."another girl said kneeling down

With that the other players started to do the same thing.

"Me too! I want to end here. Please let us leave."

"Please let me go home."

"We are not trying to hurt you or take all of your debts."the head of the guards said

"Let me remind you that we're here to give you a chance."

"A chance? You call this a chance? You are killing us and making us play a child's game how is that a chance?!."one of the player said

The other players started to complain.

"This is just a game."the guard said stopping them

"You killed all those people. Yet you call this a game?!."

"They were simply eliminated for breaking the game rule. If you can just follow the rules, you can leave this place safe with the prize money we promised."

"I don't need that freaking money, I just wanted to leave here!."player 027 said

"Rule number 1. A player is not allowed to stop from playing."

The players started to complain one by one which the guard started to shoot. The guards then pointed their guns to them. That made the players panic and kept on silence.

"Rule number 2. A player who refuses to play will be eliminated."

"If it has rule number 1 and number 2 there must be a rule number 3?."player 001 stood up
"Games may be terminated if the majority wins. Is that right?."she added

Silence

"That is correct."the guard said nodding his head

"Then, let us take our votes. If the majority wish to leave this game, then you must let us go."player 001 said

"As you wish, we will take a vote to decide on the termination of the game."and with that all of the players felt a relief

"But before that, let me announce the prize money coming from the first game."the head of the guard then let out a remote and with that a big piggy bank let out from the top

The money started to fall inside the piggy bank. All of the players stood up. Mouth hang open while looking up the prize money.

"A total of 255 players were eliminated during the first game. A hundred million won was given by each players. Therefore, 25.5 billion won has been accumulated so far from the piggy bank. If you wish to give up now, the 25.5 billion won will be sent to the families of the eliminated players. 100 million won each. However, all of you will return home empty handed."

"Excuse me! If we can make it all the six games. How much money will we get?."player 009 asked

"Since there are 456 players, the total prize money is 45.6 billion won."

"We will now start to vote."

Then there the guards take a thing and put it infront the players.

"As you can see there are two buttons infront of you. If you want to continue from playing press the green button with an 'O'. If you want to stop from playing press the red button with an 'X'. And after you finish from voting move from the other side of the white line. The voting will start in reverse order of the number on your chest. Player 456, please cast your vote."the head of the guards said as the guy with the number 456 started to vote

Vote from vote the people started to panic. At first they all wanted now to go home but others are tempted, tempted with the prize money while the others just wanted to go home because of fear.

The vote was going up and down but sometimes it ties.

"Player 064, please cast your vote."the guard said

Player 064, which is Momo then went to the front and didn't hesitate to tap the red button. She really had no intention of getting the prize money after all.

Player 063 to 030 was called and it's now player 029's turn. Player 029, which is Chaeyoung then cast her vote, she choose the green button.

Next is player 027, Dahyun choose the green button.

Those who voted the green button is now rising and rising.

"Are you all gone crazy?!."one player exclaimed
"Do you want this insanity to continue?!."he said

"So what if we leave? Will it be any different if we leave? Life out there is like a shit anyway."

"She's right! If we stop now, we're only doing the dead one's a favor. Only they'll get the 100 million won. We're the ones who won that's not fair!."

"Please! Please don't do this. We should go home."

"I don't have a home to come back to. In here, I stand at least a chance. But out there? I have nothing."

"Let's stay and do this at the end! I'd rather die here than to live a living hell out there."

"You shithead! If you want to die then go die alone!. Don't drag us with this."

The two started to fight which one guard pointed a gun to them.

"We will not condone any act that impedes this democratic process. Now let us proceed with the voting."

Next is player 025, Tzuyu since there is no player 026. Tzuyu then choose the red button.

Number 024, Mina choose the red button.

Number 012, Sana choose the green button.

The red is now ahead with 1 vote. There are only 2 players left.

Player 009, Nayeon then choose red which made the votes from red ahead.

"As you can see, we all know that those who chose red already won but still there's one player left. Player 001, please cast your vote."the head of the guard said as player 001 went infront

Player 001, Jeongyeon then choose green button.

The players started to cheer. They can now leave this place freely.
