Sanghyeon has the uncanny ability to absorb powers of magical artifacts by devouring them. He eats them, and their power becomes his. A broken sword gives him sword skills. A cracked shield gives him defense. A shattered amulet gives him a spell he never learned.
But it took him thirty years to master this ability. Thirty years of trial and error. Thirty years of training his body to digest magic items without dying. And at fifty-five, it is too late to escape mediocrity. He is old. He is weak. His potential was wasted on a slow learning curve.
Then one day, he is miraculously sent back in time to the fateful day he awakened his powers as a monster-hunting player. His body is young again. His skills are fresh. And his ability to devour artifacts is already fully mastered.
With a chance for a do-over, he wastes no time. He uses his ability to its full potential, rapidly absorbing incredible powers and rising through the ranks. A sword here. A staff there. A legendary artifact that no one could ever claim because no one else could figure out how to use it.
He eats it. He takes its power. He moves on.
Now Sanghyeon is determined to become the hero he always dreamed of being, and nothing will stop him from consuming everything in his path.
