He who bought the future
In 2026, Kang Min-Jae dies as he lived—silently.
A senior strategist for one of Korea’s largest conglomerate families, Min-Jae spent his life handling the company’s dirtiest secrets: political bribes, financial crimes, and crimes that never reached the news. Loyal, efficient, and utterly disposable, he is murdered the moment his value outweighs his usefulness.
Death, however, is not the end.
Beyond frozen time, Min-Jae meets a god who does not rule—he invests. Offered a contract instead of judgment, Min-Jae accepts a deal that sends him back to 1980, the year of his birth. In exchange for altering fate, a divine system—C.A.I.R.O.S—awakens within him, granting insight into causality, markets, and future events.
This time, Min-Jae refuses to be a pawn.
Armed with knowledge of coming financial crises, technological booms, and political shifts, he begins building wealth from childhood—through trading, offshore investments, tax havens, and proxy firms spanning Korea and the United States. While hiding behind the identity of a model student, he enters Korea’s most prestigious law school to master the rules that once trapped him.
His goal is not revenge.
His goal is dominance.
To accumulate wealth and influence on a scale rivaling the world’s greatest financial dynasties—so that his two sisters and two younger brothers will never be forced to sacrifice their dreams for survival.
As trillions move at his command and history begins to bend, the god who invested in him watches closely—ready to collect his share.
Because in this world, even rebirth has a price.
