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

The sky above the Black Snow Valley churned and darkened, as if responding to something rising from ancient darkness. Below, at the entrance of the demonic temple ruins, Jin Seo-Won stood tall—the Demon Sword Yasha now strapped across his back.

His crimson eyes scanned the treeline that surrounded the valley.

> "You can come out now," he said coldly.

But seconds later, shadows stirred. One by one, seven cloaked figures emerged from the mist, each radiating a distinct presence.

> "You moved faster than we expected, Fourth Prince," said one of them.

"We came to observe. And yet… you've already claimed the weapon."

> "We are from the Seven Clans. And what you've taken here… will change everything."

An elderly man from the Wind Clan stepped forward. His silver-white hair danced in the breeze, and each step he took seemed to stir the air around him unnaturally.

> "With that weapon, you are no longer a discarded prince.

> "A threat? Only if you're afraid."

> "We do not fear," replied the elder of the Sword Clan, stepping beside the Wind Clan's representative.

After a tense moment, the elders turned and vanished into the mist, leaving Seo-Won alone in the valley.

But he knew—from now on, all eyes would be on him.

Later that afternoon, at the outer gates of the Sect Academy, Team 7 returned.

The guarding disciples went quiet at the sight of Jin Seo-Won walking in front, his aura different than before. The demonic sword on his back shimmered faintly under the sun.

Do-Yoon and Soo-Ran followed close behind, both bloodied but upright.

> "You've changed…" Soo-Ran whispered.

Seo-Won glanced at her, his gaze still sharp, but his voice calm.

> "You'll change too. You're following me, aren't you?"

Soo-Ran stared for a moment, then slowly nodded.

> "From today onward… I pledge myself to the Fourth Prince.

Seo-Won gave a slight smile—cold, but real.

That night, word of Team 7's return and the obtained demonic weapon spread through the entire academy.

In a secret meeting hall, the seven clan leaders sat in a circle, discussing a single name:

And high atop the tallest tower of the sect, the Sect Leader stood watching the sky.

Behind him, Guardian Baek Ho-Gun spoke in a low voice:

> "He has begun to grow his fangs."

The Sect Leader did not respond. But his sharp gaze narrowed, as if seeing something far greater than a simple inherited weapon.

> "The time will come… to uproot him."
