The message was someone kept depositing 1 million each minute to his account. Bae Jin Su has 4 million in his account now. The message told him to enter the car which was coming. A long Rolls Royce car stopped in front of him opening the door. Bae Jin Su entered into the car. There were drinks in glass inside it, but when he tried to drink it, it was all plastic. The car dropped him in front of a theatre.
When he entered there was some cash and some cards on the table. There was an envelope with instructions. Bae Jin Su read it, it said to choose either to join the game by taking any of the cards from the table and entering inside or he can go out by taking the cab fare from the table which is 20 million won. Also, the letter had instructions about the game. The person who participates in the game gets money for the time they are staying there. Food and accommodation will also be provided.
There are some rules noted that a person cannot kill anyone from there also. When the time goes the price of money also increases. If the player dies then the game also ends. Bae Jin Su felt the game was a trick to sell off his kidney so he took the 20 million won and started to go out, but on next instant, he thought of playing and earning as his wage at the shop was too low. Bae Jin Su thought either way he was going to die himself so why not give it a try.

Bae Jin Su took the card with 3 numbers on it and entered the hall. It was a building with stairs and rooms. As Bae Jin Su took 3 he entered 3rd room. Inside the room there were no windows, it was all screens and artificial lightning. There were instructions about the game. He saw a shoe and dress and a book with instructions.
Bae Jin Su read the instructions, it said he needed to put his dress there and take the dress they provided. Also, he can buy things on a call where those products cost money which gets deducted from his earnings at a special rate, but they can’t take things outside the room. If they take it outside half of their earnings will be cut off. Suddenly as the clock reached 12 the game started. Bae Jin Su changed dress very fast.
As time passed his earnings started increasing. Bae Jin Su was amazed. Bae Jin Su called for a blanket as it’s very cold inside but the price was 100 times higher than the original one. So he avoided buying. There was no toilet too so he bought an empty bottle and some newspapers as they were less price compared to the blanket. He somehow slept.
After Bae Jin Su woke up he heard others calling from outside. Bae Jin Su met them. There total of 8 persons inside the building locked. Each floor has a person. All the objects inside the hall were plastic. They didn’t get any food except for the 8th-floor person. Only she got food and water.
They all ordered some baskets for toilet use from the hall as it cost less than from the room. When they entered the 8th-floor person’s room, it was a huge room and the money she getting was way more than the others. This means the floor upper has the highest amount and when it comes to down it decreases.
