- What’s with the lewd pics of the shop owner lol? We don’t even know their gender.
ㄴ I saw it, there’s big tits under the hood.
ㄴ I sucked it, it’s a big d*ck.
ㄴㄴ What do you mean you sucked it, you crazy b*tch?
- The Great God Hwang In.
- Protagonist <<< this dude always messes up his inventory, clears it out in 10 minutes, and quits the game. A true JOAT (Jack of All Trades) lol.
Today, I proudly posted a quality thread.
But I didn’t feel great about it.
“Ugh, another reroll disaster.”
My voice echoed hollowly in the room.
On the monitor.
The image displayed on the screen, split into four quadrants alongside the gallery.
Nine white papers and one gold paper.
White, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, gold.
The reroll macro automatically clicked away.

[Deleting data…….]
I was torturing my CPU and graphics card.
“Sigh.”
I took a sip of cola while letting out a sigh.
Rerolling.
The act of trying to get a good start in mobile games by collecting strong characters.
Of course, Last Felix has been out for over half a year.
I already have a main account that I’ve poured half a year of my life and bank account into.
I originally vowed to enjoy the game without being tempted by new characters, but…
[ㅇㅇ / Still crying over Eupjin? lololol (3)]
[YellowS / F*ck, my Flame Deck got wrecked in the dungeon. What do I do? (7)]
[ㅇㅇ / Guys, I rolled for Saha and got Erte. Is this good? T.T (2)]
“This f*cking guy?”
The last post was unbearable.
[Flame Bird Lover: Do you wanna get burned to death?]
[Flame Bird Lover: What are you doing, mods? Aren’t you gonna handle these trolls?]
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.
Seeing all these orphans crawling into the gallery, arguing over who ate what and when, made my stomach churn.
“Ugh, I’m the idiot for even looking at the gallery……”
I muttered to myself.
Why did I end up in such a pitiful state?
My main account’s deck was the so-called “Flame Deck.”
A team composition centered around fire attribute characters.
But the developers finally went crazy for money and released a new character that’s completely overpowered—an ice attribute dealer that counters Flame Decks.
So, the Flame Deck is ruined.
In PVP, I get wrecked due to attribute disadvantages.
In PVE, even players with lower combat power than me are pushing through higher floors with more stable and powerful ice decks.
It’s infuriating.
[Frosty / You guys are mad because you couldn’t pull Erte, huh? lol (0)]
“Ugh.”
Yeah, I’m mad. F*cking pissed……!
But I don’t have the money to spend on my main account.
If I had the money to hit the pity every time a new character comes out and max them out, I’d have all the attribute decks and characters maxed out by now.
So, the only way to satisfy my frustration is to start over.
Of course, it’s a shame to lose all the resources and characters I’ve collected, but isn’t that the fate of a free-to-play player?
Anyway, you can clear most content with just 3-star characters.
I just need to pull the new character and three more SSR ice attribute 5-star characters to start fresh.
Finding happiness through rerolling.
That’s the only salvation for the Last Felix Gallery and for me…….
“Ugh, it’s not working.”
Nine whites, one gold.
Eight whites, two golds.
Nine whites, one gold.
Three emulators delivered bad news in a row.
Machines really can’t be trusted.
I have no choice.
I’ll do it myself.
There’s a saying that manual rerolling on a smartphone yields better results.
Logging out of my main account on my phone, deleting the data, and downloading it again.
Agreeing to the terms.
Agreeing to nighttime push notifications.
Logging in as a GUEST account.

[NOW LOADING…….]
[1%…….]
Even after waiting for a while, the loading bar stayed at 1%.
“Ugh, the potato server crashed again.”
The game developer, Smile Door, rakes in tons of money but still feels like a sketchy company.
And for some reason, the game is overly popular, so the server crashes like this often.
But today feels weird.
No, maybe it’s the phone?
Even when I try to restart the game, the phone is unresponsive.
It’s completely frozen.
But the loading bar kept going up to 5%, 10%.
“Tsk.”
If I wait patiently…
[NOW LOADING…….]
[100%]
Once the loading finished, the familiar game prologue should’ve appeared.
[Welcome to Last Felix.]
[Hidden Achievement Unlocked!]
[You’ve reset and re-registered your account 1,000 times.]
[A special reward has been granted.]
A series of unfamiliar messages popped up on the screen.
And at that moment.
“Huh……?”
Suddenly, an intense light burst from the phone, so bright it was hard to keep my eyes open.
…….
…….
“What the f*ck.”
After the light faded.
I wasn’t in my cozy room anymore. Instead, I was lying in a strange yet oddly familiar wooden building.
* * *
Instead of the refreshing scent of air freshener, there was a musty countryside smell.
A roughly carved wooden counter, not a sleek motion desk made of well-processed plywood, but something that looks like it was hastily hacked out of raw wood.
In the face of the sudden change of situation, my mind went blank.
Where am I? Who am I?
Looking around.
Mysterious objects piled up in the display case.
Empty glass bottles, slightly rusted ingots, unidentified ores...
Under the counter, there was a huge chest.
Opening it.
"Wow, damn."
A scene that made me exclaim involuntarily.
Shiny gold coins piled up, whispering, "Hi! I'm a gold coin!"—I even heard auditory hallucinations.
Is it real gold? I bit it with my teeth.
"Ugh."
It's pure gold.
Is this a dream? Even if it is, it's a good dream. A dream of striking it rich.
But if it were a dream, my jaw wouldn't hurt this much.
Seizing the moment.
Slap—!
"Ahhh!"
I hit myself too hard.
Damn, that hurts...
Even if it's a dream, it doesn't seem like I'll wake up easily.
First, I need to accurately assess the current situation.
I carefully scanned the shop again.
It definitely feels familiar.
I've seen this somewhere before.
Feeling uncertain, I hopped over the counter and opened the door to the building.
What unfolded before my eyes was—
A cityscape that looked like a movie set from the medieval era.
"Has the Revelator arrived?"
"Finally, the攻略 of that damn tower will begin. The city will gradually become safer."
Even the passersby were dressed in medieval-style clothing.
The tower. The tower.
When I lifted my gaze from the street and looked a bit higher.
A massive tower soared into the sky, so high that its end was beyond the horizon.
"...No way."
Its appearance was eerily familiar.
Right.
That tower is unmistakably—
The main stage of the game "Last Felix," the "Tower of Wishes."
At that moment.
Bzzz—
In this surreal landscape.
I felt a touch of reality.
A smartphone.
The same model I used to own.
But the contents were different.
All the mobile games I had, filled with dozens of worlds, and the messengers that rarely sent anything but ads—all of it was gone.
[LF – Shop Owner Add-on]
Only one strange application remained.
"What the hell?"
Feeling entranced, I opened the app.
A simple interface.
And several menus.
- Shop Overview
- Quests
- Shop Research
- Revelator Shop
- Point Shop
I checked the Shop Overview first.
[Shop Overview]
[Total Level: 1]
[Reputation: 10 / 100 (Very Bad)]
[Cumulative Popularity: 0 (★)]
[Number of Workers: 0]
[Unused Shop EXP: 0]
Next, the Quests.

...At this point, I could draw a conclusion.
I must have become the shop owner from Last Felix.
"Hmm..."
It's true that I praised the shop owner as the Great King God.
And I did write that post.
But, if I were to possess someone, shouldn't it be the protagonist?
Moreover.
Looking back at the building I came out of—the shop.
Originally, as the game progressed, the shop should have grown steadily into a massive structure of six floors or more.
But now, it's just a tiny one-story building.
This is real estate fraud.
What the hell, give me back my six-story building.
Feeling a bit hollow, at that moment.
: : The Revelator has cleared the 1st Floor, 3rd Zone of the Tower. : :
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed from the direction of the tower.
"Oh! The 3rd Zone!"
"As expected of the Revelator."
"They'll probably clear the 1st Floor soon, right?"
It wasn't just me; even the passersby stopped and focused on the voice.
...The Revelator.
So, the protagonist is someone else.
If it's the 1st Floor, 3rd Zone, they're still in the tutorial phase.
Recalling my memory—
"The first gacha."
After clearing the 3rd Zone.
The tutorial gacha. A free 10-pull.
The first gateway to rerolling success awaits.
Whether this is a dream or reality, if I'm really the shop owner, then I'm just a side character in this story.
First, I need to meet the protagonist.
With that conviction, I moved my feet.
* * *
"Phew, phew."
In the game, fast travel is just a click away.
After getting a bit lost, I finally arrived at my destination.
The Sanctuary of Revelation.
Despite its grand name—
It's just a place to roll the gacha.
Opening the door to the sanctuary, I saw the game's poster girl, "Saint Yo-Hena," along with the protagonist character, "Luis."
Right, the protagonist is definitely someone else.
Then, the protagonist will do all the hard work.
As the shop owner, I can just relax and enjoy the rest of my life, right?
"Wow, Revelator! Congratulations! A golden glow means a 4-star hero—"
"Ugh, another reroll fail."
"Got it— Huh? Revelator?"
...?
Hearing the protagonist's words, my spine tingled.
It's a line I've spat out quite often myself.
Ah.
No way.
Don't do this, seriously.
Immediately after.
The protagonist disappeared like a mirage.
Plop—
Leaving something behind where they stood.
"Revelator...?"
Yo-Hena's bewildered voice was also left behind.
