Steel Emperor Hyeonuk Lee, the last savior of humanity, has died.
He fought until his body broke. He bled until there was nothing left. He was the final wall between humanity and extinction. And when he fell, humanity fell with him.
Then he woke up.
The place he returned to, in order to change the future, is not a battlefield. Not a palace. Not a training ground for heroes.
It is the military. A cramped barracks, a scratchy uniform, and a drill sergeant screaming in his face.
Why here of all places?
Hyeonuk Lee, the man who once commanded armies against gods, is now a corporal taking orders from a man who could not survive five minutes in the future Hyeonuk came from.
But Hyeonuk has one advantage no one else has. He can eat steel. Iron. Titanium. Any metal he consumes makes him stronger. Fills him with power. Turns his body into a living weapon.
Now the Steel Emperor must start from the bottom. Push-ups instead of dragon fights. Mess hall food instead of legendary feasts. And a revenge list that includes names no one else even knows yet.
Can the last savior of humanity climb back to the top by eating his way through the military, or will the tedium of corporal life break him before his enemies get the chance?
