Story: Jongwoo walked to the location given to him by the strange man. It was late at night and he was told to wait for a van at this exact spot at this exact time so he did, eventually it showed up. When the van door opened he instantly noticed the other people who were all passed out. Jongwoo slid into his seat as one of the strange masked men closed the door behind him. The car began to drive and soon filled with sleeping gas to knock Jongwoo out. When Jongwoo awoke it was to the sound of blaring children’s music and people complaints and screams. When he opened his eyes he was blinded by bright florescent lights and the sight before him. Hundreds of people in matching clothes in a large room that almost looked like a warehouse. The walls were made up of a white brick and every wall except the one directly in front of Jongwoo was lined with tall bunked beds that towered up to 7 beds high. The bed Jongwoo was on was stiff and hurt his back with a thin blanket. Jongwoo stood up, thankfully he had a bottom bunk, he looked down at his own clothes realizing that somebody had changed him, also realizing that his number was 333. His brow raised, that number was a bit to close to his apartment number at Eden, which was 303. He shrugged it off but also then realized that they kept his bracelet on him. Sure it was weird for Jongwoo to keep a bracelet that was gifted to him 3 years ago by a serial killer, not to mention said gift was made of teeth but Jongwoo kept it as it was the only physical thing he had left of his dead girlfriend from all those years ago(at-least that’s what he told himself). Arguments broke loose throughout the crowd and soon a guard went onto the stage on the bed less was and explain the game.(end here)
