The Game of the Gods

Reborn for a second time, I thought I was finally going to turn my luck around. Instead, I endured one hardship after another: my childhood sweetheart stabbed me in the back, my buddy betrayed me, someone reported my business venture, and every trip felt like braving a heavenly tribulation, with my life in danger at any moment. No matter what, I stubbornly survived, until I met the woman who was the moonlight in my heart. When I proposed to her, after suffering a public social death, I finally learned the truth. A god appeared...

"Mortal, you have attracted the attention of the Lord. You passed the tests of beauty and wealth and have earned the right to play the game. Give thanks, mortal."

"What?!"

"So all those weirdos I ran into before were... tests?"

"That is precisely what God intended!"

"!!!"
