"In a game where every move is calculated, the most dangerous player is the one who doesn't know they're playing." At thirty-three, Han Bo-young is the prodigy of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. A dual graduate of American law and medical schools, she possesses a mind that operates like a supercomputer, dissassembling crime scenes with a clinical coldness that unnerves her peers. But Bo-young is haunted, not by the dead, but by a past and present she's unable to escape from. The city is paralyzed when a series of "impossible" murders begins. The victims are high-profile figures: government officials, business moguls, and icons, found murdered in very artistic ways. At every scene, a signature is left behind: a single, black obsidian chess piece. The media calls him The Grandmaster, a killer who treats the city as a board and human lives as pawns. As Bo-young leads the hunt, she finds herself trapped in a psychological cage. The killer seems to be omniscient, always aware and prepared for every situation. The pieces are moving. The clock is ticking. And in this game, checkmate means the end of a soul.

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.

Ryuji Vareth died as a traitor. Publicly executed by the noble house that raised him, abandoned by the kingdom he tried to serve, and replaced by the prodigy prince he once called brother. His crime? Discovering what should never have been found. The world does not reward deviation. It corrects it. But death was not the end. The moment the blade severed his life, a hidden system activated. [Condition: Death - Completed] [Collapse Candidate - Verified] Ryuji awakens on the day Prince Caelum is born; the day his fate first began to unravel. This time, he remembers everything. The torture. The betrayal. The execution. And the truth. The world is governed by six Architects who maintain time, fate, and authority. When imbalance exceeds tolerance, lives are erased. Ryuji was erased once. Now he will grow beyond correction. As he dismantles House Vareth from the shadows and climbs through blood, war, and forbidden power, the system reveals its purpose: He was not revived for revenge. He was chosen to judge reality itself. He can forge a flawless world where nothing ever goes wrong. Or he can shatter the Axis—and let humanity remain free. For the first time in history… Fate has encountered resistance.

Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg. His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets. Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match. But this time, something’s different. [System Initialized: Vision Grid Active] “Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.” Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance. To fix his mistakes. To chase the career he lost. To protect the mother he failed. To fulfill the hopes of those who refused to give up on him. And to finally become the man they always believed he could be. But boxing isn't just a sport. It's war of bodies, of minds, of hearts. And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

In the coastal nation of Elaris, the sea gives back what it wants — and keeps what it doesn’t. Kael Virek has built his life retrieving lost things from beneath the harbor waters. Rings, heirlooms, wreckage. He returns what others mourn. It is the only way he knows how to be useful in a world that never chose him. Abandoned at birth and raised through institutions that misplaced his records and erased his history, Kael learned early that people do not stay. So he doesn’t either. Then the diagnosis comes. A degenerative neurological condition. Not instant death. Not dramatic collapse. Just slow erosion. Tremors. Fading coordination. The eventual loss of the one thing that defines him — his ability to dive. Across the city, Mira Solenne is preparing to marry into political power. Her engagement promises security for her struggling family. Stability. Respectability. A future that looks flawless from the outside. Inside, she feels nothing. When a harbor incident ties Kael to the Solenne estate in public controversy, their lives collide. What begins as reluctant proximity turns into an uneasy alliance when Mira makes a reckless decision that could destroy her family’s standing — and Kael offers to take part of the blame. To control scandal, they agree to a temporary arrangement. Temporary becomes complicated. Kael sees through Mira’s composure. Mira senses the quiet fracture beneath Kael’s humor. As the sea becomes both refuge and threat, Kael hides the progression of his condition while pushing Mira away whenever she gets too close. He believes love is cruelty if you know you might disappear. But Mira refuses to be managed. Their journey takes them beyond Elaris — across coastal towns, abandoned piers, forgotten amusement parks, and small villages where no one knows their names. With each chapter, Kael’s tremors worsen. With each chapter, Mira chooses him more deliberately. Love becomes an act of defiance. The central question shifts: Is it kinder to leave before you fade… Or to stay and let someone witness the fall? When Kael finally loses control underwater during a storm rescue, the illusion of independence shatters. The tide almost claims him — not dramatically, but indifferently. In the final chapters, Mira makes the choice Kael never could: She stays. Not because he will survive. Not because it will be easy. But because belonging is not about permanence. It is about presence. The novel closes on the shoreline months later. Kael no longer dives. His hands shake openly now. The sea is still there. He is no longer afraid of being forgotten. Because someone remembers.
