In the sweltering heat of a summer night, John Smith, a weary programmer at a mobile gaming company, finds himself entangled in a web of frustration and obsession. After a long day of debugging, he re turns home, only to be drawn back into the addictive world of a new game that has consumed his finances and time. As he attempts to draw the elusive orange card, the ultimate prize, his luck seems to plummet, leading him to absurdly blame his hands and even his feet for his misfortune. In a surreal twist, John is thrust into a dream realm where a mysterious Dream God offers him a chance to draw from a cosmic lottery of items from parallel universes. However, each prize he receives is far from what he hoped for, ranging from useless books to bizarre educational systems. As he grapples with the absurdity of his situation, John must confront the reality of his choices and the consequences of his obsession with gaming. With each draw, the stakes rise, and the line between reality and fantasy blurs. Will John find the redemption he seeks, or will he remain trapped in a cycle of disappointment? This novel weaves humor and existential reflection into a gripping narrative, exploring the themes of luck, desire, and the quest for meaning in a world dominated by chance.
