Plot of The Hero Returns

Kim Sung Bin stood as humanity’s final hope. With unmatched strength, he fought against an overwhelming enemy, putting everything on the line to save the world. Yet, even with his immense power, he failed, and the world fell into ruin.
Instead of dying, Sung Bin wakes up 20 years in the past—before the world descended into chaos. Realizing he has been given a second chance, he vows not to repeat his past mistakes. Now possessing knowledge of every event to come, he prepares for the battles ahead, strengthening himself and those around him.
Unlike before, Sung Bin doesn’t need to start from scratch. His past life’s power, skills, and experience make him a force beyond imagination. However, the enemies he once faced are still lurking in the shadows, and even though he knows the future, things are already beginning to shift in unexpected ways.
As he carves a new path, Sung Bin must confront stronger foes, navigate shifting alliances, and make difficult decisions to prevent the impending catastrophe. Will he be able to change destiny, or is history doomed to repeat itself?
