Fifty years in the future, humanity stands on the edge of extinction. The sky above Mexico City—the last surviving city on Earth—burns crimson as endless monster hordes pour from collapsing gates. The strongest hunters are dead, the great nations have fallen, and the ancient beings hidden beyond the gates have finally descended upon the world. Among the final defenders is Seo Ji-hun, an S-Rank hunter, a man who survived countless catastrophes only to witness mankind’s inevitable end. With the city moments away from destruction, Ji-hun uses a relic capable of reversing time. Carrying the memories of humanity’s downfall, the betrayals of allies, the rise of future tyrants, and the deaths of heroes who never reached their potential, Seo Ji-hun regresses fifty years into the past. Now returned to an era before the gates fully evolved, Ji-hun possesses knowledge no one else in the world has: the hidden truth behind the gate system, the locations of forgotten relics, the future awakenings of legendary hunters, and the disasters that will one day destroy entire continents. But rather than standing in the spotlight, Seo Ji-hun chooses to become something far more dangerous—the unseen hand guiding the future from the shadows. He begins altering fate itself: saving individuals destined to die young, nurturing talents before they bloom, dismantling conspiracies before they spread, and secretly building forces capable of standing against the horrors to come. Heroes who once became enemies now walk different paths. Weak hunters destined for obscurity rise into legends under his guidance. Entire nations unknowingly move according to the plans of a man carrying fifty years of despair on his shoulders. Yet every change creates unforeseen consequences. To save humanity, Seo Ji-hun must become the regressor behind the curtain—the one who rewrites the fate of the world before the apocalypse arrives once again.
