Death gave him a choice. He laughed. So she gave him a curse."

Gin Chan had given up on life — betrayed, broken, and ready to disappear. But when he dies, he awakens in a realm where time stands still... and Death wears a silver smile.

As punishment, he's thrust into a twisted game — forced to reincarnate into the bodies of people moments before their death. Thieves, soldiers, beggars, kings — each life, a new role. Each death, another lesson. But the rules are cruel: he feels every pain, remembers every end, and carries every scar.

Armed only with previous lives' memories, Gin Chan must uncover the reason behind this torment. But the more lives he lives, the more he questions:

Is he being punished… or prepared?

And in the shadows, Death watches — waiting for the moment he finally understands what it means to live.

Writing this novel was a deeply personal journey for me. I wanted to explore what it truly means to fight—not just against external threats, but against the fears and doubts inside ourselves. The story dives into moments where every heartbeat counts, where every decision can mean life or death, and where the strength to keep going comes from the most unexpected places. Through the intense action and high stakes, I aimed to show the fragile yet fierce spirit that lives in all of us. I hope readers will feel both the adrenaline of the struggle and the emotional weight carried by each character's fight for hope, redemption, and survival.
