Znakey's manga / #Sci-fi(13)

Complete. MC ends with blond guy.

So good for such a short read. Loved it.

I LOVE WITH THIS. Why isn’t it more popular?! Badass, crazy yet sly protagonist; he is a mad genius who loves battle (and money… and K-dramas lmao). He is so cool! No romance (on his part) so far. The story takes place in a “modern” world, where a previously hidden underground magical race suddenly attacked with monsters and dungeons. The humans in response awoke powers, and thus superhumans fought back. Seomoon Yeob, an orphan, gained an unremarkable ability “Throw” (when killing the abusive owner of the orphanage). However, with his second power “Analyse” (can see his and everyone’s Stats and Abilities; can also see their potential), combined with his genius, he managed to become the strongest human in the world. He conquered every dungeon until he finally sacrificed himself after defeating the final boss [High Priestess] to give his six teammates (he was their leader btw) time to escape. He was happy to die in battle, and to the rest of the world he became the legendary hero who sacrificed himself to save mankind. But he doesn’t die. SY falls from a portal in the sky 17 years later, and wakes up in a now peaceful world, though for him no time has gone by. Now, most superhumans live as untrained civilians, and a small percentage participate in a VR sport, Battlefield (two teams of 7 or 11 in a dungeon, PvP with PvE). Korea, once a leading force, is the lowest ranking country in Battlefield. SY at first doesn’t want to play in Battlefield, planning to retire, but slowly he is dragged in. Though it is VR, their power is transferred, and the monsters and dungeons are all replicas of those during the war, so he is familiar with them. He trains others, forms his own team, fights the best players, and currently (ch 92) joined the World Tournament. Why is he so invested now? Because he found out that the Underworlders have not died out completely, but they are not the real threat. The president of the company that made Battlefield is the Underworlders’ Queen. She is the one that took SY out of the dungeon before he died, because she can see others’ fate and knows he is the “Savior” from prophecy. She didn’t want war against humans in the first place (the High Priestess did, though now she was raised from the dead and has joined SY while disguised as a white haired dude). There are other Underworlders that are against the Queen, because they believe they follow the Guiding Light (their good, sort of), but the Queen knows they have been tricked and they might open the door to Earth to a powerful monster from another dimension, along with his army of creatures [this was told to him by the Emperor, the strongest tyrant Underworlder; he killed him in a dungeon during the war and recently defeated him in VR ((they summoned his soul))]. SY wants to help all superhumans become stronger to face the threat. SY is really strong. He has his Throw and Analysis abilities, and after returning he got Immortal (he can’t die from injuries, though he can’t use this power in VR). Then he unlocked Amplify (+10 in one stat or improve an ability for X time; when Amplify + Immortal he can turn his body into Aura or create an Aura weapon [this one is taught by the Emperor]). In latest chapters (~85-90) he got an ability from the Emperor as the new Savior that lets him choose six (? “vassals” (they can get stronger), and also a training space where he can increase his stats beyond human limits (goes beyond the max 100 for humans). The novel is complete at 271 chapters, so this Manhwa shouldn’t drag too much!

Protagonist becomes awesome after a few ch
