Blood stains the cobblestones of a realm built for entertainment, but for those living within the game, the pixels feel all too real. The script follows the rise of a hero meant to stop the end of days. A support character knows every hidden quest and loot drop by heart, acting as the ultimate guide for the world’s savior, Sihu. But the main player is no knight in shining armor. Behind the scenes, the "hero" is a serial killer, butchering innocent residents for gold and rare equipment. Powerless to stop the slaughter, the guide watches as his companion ruins everything, right up until the final mission ends in a catastrophic failure.

Instead of eternal darkness, Corin wakes up three years in the past, back at the academy gates before the nightmare started. Returning to the start isn't just a second chance; it's a death sentence for the man who betrayed humanity. Now, the "minor NPC" is throwing away his support role to seize the protagonist’s mantle. Armed with forbidden knowledge and a desperate need for redemption, he sets out to dismantle the legend of the player who came before him. Rewriting the manhwa’s brutal script means murdering the hero and taking his place. Can a background character survive the weight of a world-ending prophecy?
