Synopsis
Martial arts master returns to Earth after 140 years, must restart at level 1 to seek revenge.
After a car crash mysteriously transports him to a land of martial arts, Cha Shinhyun trains for 140 years and becomes the strongest being in Murim. But when he returns to Earth, it's nothing like he remembers. Though he is finally reunited with his sister, the home he once knew is now filled with people called "hunters" who defeat monsters to level up their powers in a constant race for survival. Now he must start back at level 1 and work to exact revenge on the person who altered his fate! (Source: Tapas Media)
