The Shameless Thief of Argus

For Seokwoo, existence is all about taking the path of least resistance. Operating under the alias "Luke," he rules the virtual reality landscape of the game *Argus* as a notorious swindler, feeling not a shred of remorse for the thousands of players he has plundered. Just as he reaches the pinnacle of his criminal career by achieving master status, his luck abruptly runs out. Caught and facing the grim reality of a life sentence behind bars, his virtual reign seems definitively over. Yet, fate offers an unexpected turn when Luke uncovers the lingering will of the vanquished Night King hidden within his prison cell. This mysterious discovery presents him with a second chance: he can restart his journey in *Argus* under a binding pact to exact bloody vengeance upon the fallen monarch's sworn enemies. Although this bargain wipes away his hard-earned levels and resets his statistics entirely, the legendary rogue is far from defeated. Armed with his cunning intellect and insatiable appetite for illicit gains, it is only a matter of time before *Argus’s* most infamous thief meticulously scams and steals his way back to the summit of power.
