**Chapter 1: The Aftermath of Chaos**

Myung-gi sat on the edge of his bed, mechanically eating the plain yet satisfying meal provided by the game. His mind wandered, replaying the events of the first game and the subsequent voting process. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, wondering what the future held for him and the other 455 players. As he ate, he noticed the hustle and bustle around him; some players were chatting and forming groups, while others were nervously pacing back and forth. The massive room, resembling a warehouse, was filled with the sound of murmured conversations and the creaking of bunk beds. The white brick walls seemed to stretch on forever, and the stacked beds, towering over seven stories high, made Myung-gi feel small and insignificant. He was grateful that his bed was on the ground floor, easily accessible and not too overwhelming. As he ate in silence, Myung-gi couldn't help but notice players 230 and 124 approaching him. Player 230, a towering figure with purple hair and an air of confidence, was accompanied by player 124, a young man with greasy-looking black hair and a vacant expression. Myung-gi recognized them as part of a group, but he didn't know much about them. "Hey, look who's eating alone," player 230 sneered, his dark brown eyes gleaming with amusement. "What's wrong, 333? Afraid to make friends?" Myung-gi tried to ignore them, but player 230 continued to taunt him. "Hey, crypto boy, how's the scam business treating you?" Myung-gi's irritation grew, and he politely asked them to leave him alone. However, player 230 took a handful of Myung-gi's rice and smeared it all over his face, provoking a reaction from Myung-gi. He stood up, pushing player 230, but was quickly overpowered by both players 230 and 124. The two men beat and kicked Myung-gi, leaving him defenseless on the floor. The commotion attracted attention, and just as it seemed like things might escalate further, player 001 intervened. "Enough!" player 001 commanded, his voice firm and authoritative. "You two, disrespecting your elders like that? You should be ashamed, taking on one person like that." Player 230 sneered, "Save the lectures for your kids, grandpa." Player 001's expression turned cold, and he angrily grabbed player 230's neck. When player 124 tried to attack, player 001 kicked him in the shins, causing him to cry out in pain. After a brief tussle, players 230 and 124 admitted defeat, retreating to their beds with their tails between their legs. As the tension dissipated, Myung-gi winced, expecting another attack. However, instead of another blow, he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, pulling him up. Myung-gi turned, wary, to see who was helping him...
