Chapter Summary:

Full Summary:
In a world where every person is born with an ability, Hwang In-ho has none. Seong Gi-hun barely has one. Years ago, the games gifted them both with four hundred and fifty-five new ones in the worst way imaginable.
Nowadays, Gi-hun is endeavoring to leave behind his heavy past, teaming up with Detective Hwang Jun-ho to catch the prolific and mysterious serial killer, 001. At the same time, former Front Man Hwang In-ho just wants to figure out what makes Player 456 so damn special.
