It is late at night, in the early hours of the morning when even the moon has hidden itself in the night sky.

Jang Deoksu sat alone in his darkened studio apartment. Scattered on the table were debt collection notices, an empty wallet, and crumpled receipts that served as proof of everything he had lost to gambling.

Dropping his head with a bitter smile, he was mindlessly scrolling through his phone when he discovered an old internet post.

『How to Meet an Angel Who Grants Wishes』 The view count was barely in the double digits. There were almost no comments. 'The path opens only to those who believe.' It was an absurd sentence, but strangely, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Am I so cornered that I'm actually believing in something like this?" Just as he chuckled and was about to turn off the screen, his fingertips stopped as if someone were pushing his back. Only one sentence was written in the description.

'A desperate heart reaches the heavens.' He stared at that sentence for a long time before quietly closing his eyes. "Just once..."

The moment those words ended...

The silence in the room felt as if time had stopped. The turned-off light began to glow faintly, and a silvery wind seeped in from outside the window. The scent of an unknown flower spread through the air.

Then, a circular pattern resembling starlight began to slowly bloom beneath his feet. "...What the?" The moment he backed away in surprise, a pillar of dazzling light filled the room. It was as if the stars in the night sky were pouring down into a single spot.

As the light gradually faded, a woman stood at its center. Behind her back, snow-white wings were quietly unfurled.
