Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell

Han Dae Sung was just an ordinary middle school student heading home when his life took a drastic turn—plunging into the depths of hell without warning. Lost and terrified at first, he wandered the infernal landscape, grappling with despair before steeling his resolve to survive. Hell, bizarrely, operated like a brutal game. Holographic RPG-style interfaces flickered before his eyes, displaying status windows, skill trees, and loot drops. Ferocious beasts lurked at every turn, nearly claiming his life countless times, yet he endured, growing stronger with each battle. Decades blurred together—ten, fifty, eighty years—until he finally stood victorious over the demonic overlord, seizing absolute dominion over hell itself.

A single message flashed before him: [Return to Earth?] With no attachment to the scorched wasteland or its mindless beasts, he accepted. Awakening in a Seoul hospital, he discovered only ten years had passed on Earth, his body comatose all that time. Rehabilitation began, but then—familiar holograms reappeared. [Advent Quest Activated.] Hell’s system had followed him. Missions propelled his recovery at an unnatural pace, his frail frame rebuilding into the hardened physique forged over eight decades in the abyss.

Yet peace was fleeting. The world had changed. On the day he vanished, an otherworldly invasion began—the “Great Upheaval.” Humanity now fought back with elite warriors known as Hunters. Though Dae Sung vowed never to wield his hellish power again, the sight of his fractured world forced his hand. To shield his family, he embraced his role as a Hunter, unlocking hell’s sealed abilities through the Pantheon—a twisted reflection of his past trials.

The beasts of hell, trapped within the Pantheon’s voids, begged for his mercy. His answer was ruthless. Earth’s new enemies would learn the true meaning of terror. The once-reluctant warrior became its fiercest protector, unleashing the full fury of hell upon those who dared threaten his home. The boy who crawled out of the abyss would now wield it as a weapon—because some battles could only be won by becoming the nightmare itself.
