The Time-Regressed Gangster Who Uses Magic!

Kang Do-sik lived a life steeped in regret. From a schoolyard bully to a street thug, his thirty-two years were a testament to wasted potential and bad choices, culminating in a future he desperately wished to undo. But fate, or perhaps something more mystical, grants him an impossible second chance. He awakens back in his past, armed not just with the bitter memories of his previous life, but with a newfound, astonishing power: magic.

Now, the former lowlife gangster has a singular purpose: to rewrite his tragic history. With the knowledge of future betrayals and opportunities, Do-sik navigates the brutal South Korean underworld of the late 1990s and early 2000s. He'll confront old enemies, outmaneuver rivals, and build an empire from the ground up, all while secretly wielding arcane abilities no one expects from a man of his background.

From the grimy prison cells to the cutthroat corporate boardrooms, Do-sik's journey is a relentless quest for vengeance and redemption. Can a man who once had nothing transform his destiny and rise to unimaginable power, or will the ghosts of his past and the dangers of his present finally catch up to the time-regressed gangster who dares to use magic?
