Time Roulette

Jeong-Hun Han is a man running on empty. Struggling to make ends meet as a law student, his life is a relentless grind of textbooks, part-time jobs, and overdue bills. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious, ornate roulette machine hidden away in his father’s cluttered workshop, his ordinary world shatters in an instant. A single, unwitting spin of the wheel tears him from his reality and catapults him into a past far more brutal than any history book could convey. He blinks back to awareness to the sound of clashing steel and the screams of the dying. He is no longer in a cramped city apartment; he is standing in the mud-soaked heart of a battlefield during the Joseon dynasty, surrounded by the chaos of war. Before the shock can even subside, he is intercepted by a cryptic messenger named Jun, who offers both answers and an ultimatum. The time roulette was no accident, and Jun reveals that Jeong-Hun's only ticket home is to complete the dangerous mission the machine has assigned him. Now, trapped in a savage era with nothing but his wits and a modern education that is largely useless against swords and arrows, Jeong-Hun must navigate a deadly political landscape. With the clock ticking and the weight of his former life pressing down on him, he must decide if he has the resolve to survive the past in order to reclaim his future.
