Humanity is a race of cowards who would rather live a comfortable lie than face a painful truth, but Jae-hwan is the glitch in their perfect system. When the mysterious Tower of Nightmares brought the world to its knees, every hero was given a choice: use a Regression Stone to escape to the past or die in the present. One by one, his friends and allies vanished into separate, peaceful timelines, abandoning the original world to its rot. Jae-hwan stayed. He spent decades alone in the silence of a dead world, grinding through levels and honing his soul into a weapon of pure defiance. Now, as he reaches the peak, he realizes the Tower was never the end goal—it was just the cage. This is the saga of the man who refused to restart, the warrior who chose the hard way, and the survivor who will tear down the fabric of reality to reclaim the life he was told to throw away.
