Synopsis
Talentless mercenary Sungmin dies, returns to age 13, and strives to become Aeria's strongest through sheer effort alone.
In Aeria, a place where people from various worlds are summoned, the weak are destined to die. Sungmin Lee, a talentless mercenary, was no exception. Fortunately for him, a mysterious item he finds before his untimely death sends him back to the past. Now a 13-year-old with a second chance at life, Sungmin begins his desperate journey to become Aeria's strongest with no money or talent. The question is... will effort alone be enough to make a hero of a boy with absolutely nothing? (Source: Tapas Media)
