The Hero Returns is a manhwa based on the story that initially takes place in the year 2042 when the world has come to an end. Dungeons started to appear out of nowhere, and huge monsters started pouring out of them. This phenomenon was named an outbreak, and it destroyed the world’s peace mercilessly.
The humans who fought these monsters were called the Awakened(s). The world needed a hero, and this is the story of an Awakened human, a hero named Kim Sung-in. Kim Sung-in was the last survivor and the strongest Awakened. While fighting off monsters, he suddenly starts coughing blood. Well, it’s not really sudden, he has so many injuries and wounds, and he is really tired.
When Fafnir, a monster, saw him like this, he wanted to make Sungin a part of him by defeating him in the fight. Just then, Sung-in faints and thinks to himself if that was his end. What a shame to die before saving the world, he thinks.
While he was self-pitying, thinking he couldn’t save anyone and what kind of a hero he was, he woke up. Surrounded by his bullies, he thinks it is a dream. One of the bullies tried to beat him, but Sung-in stopped his hand and punched him back.
It was like out of nowhere; he had immense strength. Sung-in kept wondering why the other guys were calling him Kim Soohyun. He stands up and picks up a phone nearby, and sees his reflection; he is surprised at who it is.
Sung-in, now Soohyun, reaches the police station, and he realizes he is in the year 2022. He tells the police that he doesn’t know his address or any information. The police informed him that his mother was coming to take him home.
After passing away, Sungin goes back in time and now is living life a second time as Soohyun Kim, a quiet high school student. He doesn’t know how or why he was brought back, but he is aware that this is his second chance to save the world and earn his rightful place in the group of heroes.
