Cameraman Never Dies

In the greed-driven world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with wealth so vast it seemed endless. That is, until life deemed his playthrough unfair and handed him a red card. Poison was a familiar presence in his family; everyone had tasted it once, but never twice, for they didn't survive. Death was never on his schedule, nor was an offer for a divine role. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a penchant for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her cosmic cameraman. Not the kind with a lens, but one who records mortal tales. In return, he gets a second chance at life, in a world where his deceased parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (since “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), our protagonist quickly realizes that the world he’s been sent to is a bustling steampunk utopia, complete with airships, clockwork contraptions, and a surprising lack of Wi-Fi. But who needs the internet when you have a sharp mind, a divine camera, and the ambition to become a god? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, starring himself as the unseen mastermind pulling all the strings. With trust issues that make Fort Knox look like an open house, he manipulates nobles, outwits industrial bosses, and generally makes a glorious mess of things. All while trying to keep his dear parents oblivious to his less-than-angelic schemes. But can he maintain control as the stakes rise and the game becomes ever more complex? And what happens when the Deity of Stories decides to edit his script? And what's this, colleagues?
