Synopsis
55-year-old underachiever time-travels to restart life, devouring magical artifacts to become the hero he always wanted.
Sanghyeon has the uncanny ability to absorb powers of magical artifacts—by devouring them. But it took him thirty years to master, and at fifty-five, it's too late to escape mediocrity. Then one day, he's miraculously sent back in time to the fateful day he awakened his powers as a monster-hunting player. With a chance for a do-over, he wastes no time using his ability to its full potential, rapidly absorbing incredible powers and rising through the ranks, determined to become the hero he always dreamed of being.
