Dawn of December 24, 2026, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam.
300 million won remaining in the bank account. And the final hand of life, wagering my wrist.
I lost even while holding a Jang-tteung. “The game was already over before I even sat down.”
… I opened my eyes to March 1997, in a dilapidated motel room. It was my hand at twenty-five.
In this life, I will set the game.
■ Raising a Regression Gambler
· From playing Matgo at a neighborhood real estate office to the VIP rooms of Cheongdam-dong, and finally to becoming the boss of the era
· Bottom-sleep, peeking, swapping cards, missing hands… Meeting the people of this era, I learn card tricks one by one
· If your opponent pulls a bottom card, catch them with the sound. “Get your hand off me!”
· Even if you crumble in the game, the memory remains. Back to 1997, the second round, the third round…
■ Real Seotda · Real Matgo
· Seotda (2-4 players), 3-card Seotda, a hand to hold your breath and watch closely — 38 Gwangttaeng!
· Matgo: From Ttadak, Ssaksseuri, Shake, Bomb, to Sseurigo
· Psychological Warfare: Intimidation · Pretending to be Weak · Keeping Attention · Distracting
■ The Life of One Who Knows the Future
· The IMF crisis and the dollar, the KOSDAQ bubble, the World Cup, COVID-19… Actual history unfolds from 1997 to 2026
· Stocks · Real estate · Gold · Coins · Private loans—sweep them up with your memory
· However, if I move, the world twists too. If you rely only on memory, things go awry
■ Beyond 2026, a future no one knows
· Life extending until 2050. Will it be a golden age of AI, a bubble collapse, or inter-Korean economic cooperation?
· The flow of the world changes according to how I invest, donate, and lobby
· The future of this life is different from the past. A New World with Every Regression
■ The Boss of the Era, and the Architect
· Yeouido Operation Forces, Gangnam Big Spenders, Chaebol Chairmen, Coin Whales, AI Tazza…
· And the One Who Designed the Entire Game. Waiting at the Iron Gate of Cheonggye on Christmas Night
