He prays for the day he wins enough money though online gambling so that he could permanently settle peacefully in his flat with no disturbance. He puts his all into it and becomes progressively delusional while the debts pile up. At his all time low, he notices a desktop icon sized “Genie” present on his computer screen. He gazes. Jae-kuk promises his soul and dedication to the genie for limitless luck and gambling skills. However, any undeserved success comes at a major cost, he submerges into his computer and reforms into a Trojan genie of his own.
