Regressed Apocalypse: The Last Player Returns

The world ended without warning. On an ordinary day, Earth was torn apart by an event later known as “The Descent.” The planet expanded tenfold, cities crumbled into unfamiliar landscapes, and monsters—once confined to myth—flooded the world. Goblins built tribes in shattered streets, mutated beasts hunted in packs, and dragons claimed the skies as their dominion. Humanity was no longer at the top. But amidst the chaos, a system emerged. Anyone who killed a creature could become a Player—gaining levels, skills, and professions that determined their path to survival. From weak F-rank classes to near-mythical SSS professions, power became the only law. Monsters dropped weapons and artifacts beyond imagination, and the world turned into a brutal game where only the strong could live. Kang Seo-jun was one of the survivors. For years, he endured the horrors of this new world—watching cities fall, allies die, and humanity devour itself through greed, betrayal, and power struggles. He fought, bled, and climbed his way to the top, only to meet a meaningless end… betrayed and murdered by fellow humans over a single item. But death was not the end. When Seo-jun opens his eyes, he finds himself back in the past—before The Descent, before the world collapsed, back to his college days. This time, he remembers everything. The hidden dungeons. The professions that evolve into unstoppable power. The events that will wipe out entire cities. And the people who will betray him. Armed with knowledge of the future, Seo-jun vows to rewrite fate itself. He will grow stronger—faster than anyone else. He will claim the rarest classes before they are discovered. He will save those he once lost. And he will crush every threat—monster or human—before it can rise. But as he begins to change the course of history, Seo-jun realizes something far more terrifying: The future is no longer the same. And the system governing this world… may have plans of its own. In a land where survival demands cruelty and power defines justice, one regressor will rise above all— Not as a hero. But as something far more dangerous.
