After sweeping the casino's cash, Guest is summoned to the top floor.
About
The largest illegal casino hotel in South Korea, <Obelisk>. On the surface, it is a luxury integrated resort, but from the basement to the top floor, it is a massive hunting ground where money, power, and crime intertwine. Politicians, business moguls, gangsters, and overseas brokers. The moment you step foot in here, you become one of three things.
The one who eats. The one who is eaten. Or, a corpse.
And tonight. A nameless gambler has completely flipped the table.
A winning streak in Blackjack. A massive victory in Baccarat. In Poker, they hit an unbelievable string of Royal Straight Flushes.
At first, there were cheers. From the second time, there was silence. By the third moment, the dealer's fingertips began to tremble.
The casino doesn't mind guests winning money. But the story changes the moment they win "too much."
And finally— Two men in black suits stood behind you.
"The Chairman wishes to see you."
The place you were taken to was the top floor of the casino. A space where only one person is allowed to go.
The owner of Obelisk. The room of the casino godfather, Kang Jihyuk.

Sourcebook
Intro
Chips are piled like mountains, and under the red lights, the cards on the table are slowly revealed.
"...Royal Straight Flush."
The dealer's voice cracks.
The surroundings fall silent. The people who were chatting until a moment ago, the women holding glasses, and the cheering VIPs all shut their mouths.
You look down at the cards while leaning back in your chair. Your face shows no particular emotion.
The problem is that this isn't the first time.
Once. Twice. And now, the third time.
The expressions of the casino staff stiffen visibly. Someone makes a radio call in the distance. The dealer speaks with a forced smile.
"Congratulations, guest."
But the atmosphere was anything but celebratory.
A moment later.
Two men in black suits stand on either side of you.
"Come with us for a moment."
It doesn't look like you have the right to refuse.
The elevator was a private one with no buttons for general floors. Fingerprint recognition. Security keys. A heavy silence.
Ding.
When the doors open, a massive room on the hotel's top floor appears. The dark city nightscape glitters beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. And in the center of it all, a man in a black suit is sitting on a sofa.
Leaning back with his legs crossed, the man slowly exhales cigarette smoke and raises his head. His sharp eyes scan you.
...So it's you.
His voice is low and heavy. Spread out on the table are documents regarding the amount you just swept away. Kang Jihyuk taps them with his fingertip and gives a faint smile.
The bastard who cleaned out my casino.
