Damn it!
Just die, you overgrown worm!
No, not like this!
It's too pathetic!
How could you do this to me, Kwon?
How could you do this, you two-faced bastard?!
This mission must succeed at all costs.
Of course, you'll be handsomely rewarded.
I'm not dying here.
I refuse to let it happen!

Suh Jooheon, age 38.
And I guess today marks my story's end.
Goodness, you're loud.
First the voice, now time's standing still?
Oh? My voice is not deaf on your ears?
Like you're the only relic that can talk!
If you wanna impress me, try getting rid of this snake!
And then let me go free!
While I'm still being nice about it, you smug trinket!
Do you truly believe that body will sustain you?
Huh?
You're practically split in half.
I doubt you even feel pain at this point.
How will you "go free" if I remove the snake?
Do you intend to crawl your way out?
You're barely holding on through the cheapest of tricks.
But your rope is quickly reaching its end.
An exceptional talent woefully born in the wrong era,
destined to perish without ever making
proper use of those little tricks of yours.
Yeah? You really think you've got me all figured out,
but you don't.
So shut up.
If I had any say, I would've never chosen this life.
Who the hell would?
Damn that rotten geezer.
I'll kill him.
Haunt that fraud right into his own grave!
You hear me, Kwon Taejoon?
You're a dead man!
How amusing.
It would be such a waste to let all that talent die here.
Light? What the...
A crow?
I shall grant you a chance.
Go forth and make your attempt
to claim the throne of the true king!
Become a king?
Maybe if an eagle or something cool was asking.
Why's it gotta be a creepy crow?
Ah, well.
Can't knock a hero-grade relic too much.
Or, was it a god-grade?
You're letting him go?
-With zero consequences? - Crows aren't exactly divine.
- This man is violent. - Wait.
-Where am I? -He hit my son!
M-My legs!
Ugh. Hello?
-Are you out of your mind? - They're fine.
Everything's fine.
I'm alive.
What's with this unc?
Pleading insanity?
See? Anybody with eyes could tell this man's unwell.
-Somebody do something. - A police station?
You can finish your statement
from the comfort of your chair.
And I'm still waiting to see your ID
before the sun's up. Please.
There's a word for his kind.
Weirdo.
I kinda don't have all night, sir.
Uh, sorry.
Goes to show you can never judge a book by its cover.
Did that crow send me into a dream?
- Name? - A hallucination?
No, it feels too real.
Please state your full name.
It shouldn't be that--
Look, I wanna go home at some point.
First of the year, and already working overtime.
-2025 can suck it. - This is taking forever.
Hmm? What?
I've gotta be up early tomorrow too.
It's 2025?
Is this happening?
Was I reborn?
No. 2025 was 15 years ago.
I didn't reincarnate.
I went back in time.
Go forth and make your attempt
to claim the throne of the true king!
Ugh! All right, enough!
-Listen, you! -Huh? Uh.
Quit muttering and answer him clearly!
And you can wipe that stupid grin off your face
while you're at it too!
She looks familiar.
But I can't place why.
-Huh? -
-Now I remember. -Think I'm a pushover...
That little punk picked a fight with me
and would not buzz off,
- so I shoved him. -You're gonna regret crossing...
Then he made a big show of falling down
and dragged me to the police.
...look at me, why don't I gouge your eyes out?
Ugh. My son's a senior in high school!
A good kid!
So now you're going to take responsibility for hitting...
How did I solve this 15 years ago?
What if the trauma makes his grades suffer?
That's right.
I had to get on my knees and beg them
to lower the ridiculous amount they wanted from the settlement.
2025 me was living on pocket lint.
You tuned me out?
I have no clue what's wrong with you,
but whenever someone's talking, you should listen!
- -
Huh?
I blocked her.
I only finished what your son started!
So you can get all the way off my back, ma'am,
because I've had enough!
And your settlement is straight up robbery,
considering it's just for one little shove.
Man! Despite having the most, the wealthy always want more!
Think you're hot stuff?
Let's see how tough you talk with a broken jaw!
What the heck? Stop him!
- -
Oh, no, my poor baby!
My body definitely feels lighter.
I haven't caught any
relic-induced illnesses yet either.
Maybe because I still have my memories,
I still have my fighting skills too.
That at least works in my favor.
- I demand justice! - Big mistake, prick.
And I intend to make you pay dearly for it!
Uh.
Oh, my sweet boy.
Does it hurt?
Is bullying how you get by?
Just shoving your way through life?
Well, it doesn't end here! Oh, no!
I'm going to call everyone I know and make sure you--
Calm down, ma'am.
-You made your point. - Calm down?!
Do I look like I can calm down?!
This brute is begging for a criminal record!
He's gonna wish he could've...
Criminal records are about to be meaningless.
Once relics crop up, the world will become a lawless wasteland.
In 2025, massive earthquakes shook the entire planet,
and tombs appeared.
Hidden inside these tombs were relics,
items pulled straight from myths, legends, folktales,
and even popular fiction.
Relics were a testament
