Born as the fourth son of the Heavenly Demon Sect's supreme leader, Jin Seo-Won was shunned and humiliated simply because his mother came from the commoners, not from the prestigious Seven Clans that uphold the sect.

Betrayed by his own brothers and silently executed by the heir of the Sword Clan, Jin Seo-Won's life ended in despair.

But fate wasn't done with him.

A mysterious system gave him a chance to return to the past—before his mother's death, before his fall. Now armed with future knowledge, hidden power, and cold determination, he walks the path of revenge through blood and flame.

He will challenge the pride of the Seven Clans.
He will tear down the thrones of his brothers.
And this time... he will rise not as a discarded son, but as the true heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Let the world tremble.

He has returned.

Heavenly Demon Regressor

Jin Seo-Won's footsteps echoed across the stone floor of the valley, layered with ash-like black snow. As he passed through the ancient gate, the air shifted—no longer just cold, but laced with death and demonic energy long forgotten by time.

The mist thickened around him. Every step he took seemed to disappear into silence.

> "This place feels like a graveyard…"

A sudden notification lit up in his vision.

> [You have entered a forbidden zone: Heart of the Black Snow Valley]

[Spiritual Condition: -30% due to ancient demonic pressure]

Seo-Won gritted his teeth. A pounding headache struck him like a hammer. Breathing grew heavier.

But something deeper… was calling him.

He walked deeper, through a descending tunnel carved into the mountain. Ancient carvings lined the walls—depictions of robed warriors kneeling before a crowned figure with glowing red eyes.

> "Those symbols... they belong to the old Demon Sect.

Before it became the Heavenly Demon Sect."

He arrived at a circular stone chamber. In its center stood an altar, holding a dull, black crystal that pulsed faintly.

But what caught Seo-Won's eyes were the seven ancient weapons embedded in the walls around the altar: a sword, spear, scythe, chain, fan, whip, and a clawed gauntlet.

[Artifact Set: "Blood of Hell" – Accessible only to users with an active system]

Seo-Won's body trembled. Raw energy burst from the weapons, trying to repel his presence.

But the system intervened—redirecting the backlash.

> [Stabilizing Synchronization: 61%...]

[Synchronization Complete – Secret Technique Access Unlocked]

Suddenly, visions filled his mind—of fallen giants, collapsing skies, and blood flowing like rivers.

A single phrase echoed in his thoughts:

> "Demon King's Descent Style – Step One: Master Your Blood."

A red sigil appeared on the back of his hand—glowing, then fading.

> "This… is no ordinary technique.

Just as he reached toward one of the weapons—

From the shadows emerged three cloaked figures—not sect disciples. Their faces were hidden, but their aura… was lethal.

> "You're bold, Prince," one of them said coldly.

> "You think you're the only one who heard the call of this place?"

Seo-Won gave a slow, dangerous smile.

> "Let's find out… who truly deserves this legacy."

Dark energy rose from his body—but not just from cultivation.

It was power refined through the System.

The battle for the legacy… had begun.
