Childhood Friend of the Zenith offers a blend of martial arts, betrayal, and redemption. The story follows Gu Yangchun, a former demonic human who served under the Heavenly Demon. Despite committing countless atrocities under orders, his life was marked by deep regret.
After the Great Orthodox-Demon War, Gu Yangchun’s fate changed when Wi Seol-ah, the hero who defeated the Heavenly Demon, spared his life. Before dying, he revealed critical information about the Demon Cult as an act of penance. But instead of meeting his end, Gu Yangchun wakes up to find himself back in his youth — at the moment when he first met Wi Seol-ah.
Determined to live differently this time, Gu Yangchun tries to steer clear of conflict and live a quiet life. However, shadows from his past start creeping back, forcing him to confront the sins and enemies he thought were behind him.
The story’s strength lies in its rich character development, intense action sequences, and Gu Yangchun’s internal struggle between his dark past and his newfound chance at redemption.
