After the economy crashes and his family’s fortune crumbles, Song Jin-Woo is left broken and lost—wandering the shadows of the city with nothing but regrets and shattered dreams.
But fate isn’t finished with him yet.
When a sudden accident takes his life, Jin-Woo wakes up fourteen years earlier—in his teenage body, right before the most important exams of his youth.
At first, the thought of reliving those painful years fills him with dread.
Until he realizes he remembers everything—every failure, every opportunity, every secret to success that slipped away the first time.
With the future burned into his mind and a fierce determination in his heart, Jin-Woo vows:
“This time, I won’t just survive. I’ll rise to the top.”
Armed with knowledge, grit, and a second chance, Song Jin-Woo is ready to rewrite his story—and become the legend he was always meant to be.
Thank you for picking up The Legendary Return: Second Life, First Place. This story is very close to my heart—a tale about second chances, resilience, and the burning desire to rewrite one’s destiny. Song Jin-Woo’s journey began as a man broken by failure and hardship, only to be gifted the rarest of opportunities: a chance to live life again with all the knowledge of the past. But a second life is never a guarantee of an easy road. As Jin-Woo navigates the shadows of his past and the dangers lurking in the present, he learns that power alone is not enough. It takes courage, wisdom, and sometimes sacrifice. Inspired by stories like Return of the Legend but with my own twists and deeper focus on personal growth, financial struggle, and hidden threats, this novel blends urban fantasy with emotional depth and high stakes. My hope is that through Jin-Woo’s trials and triumphs, you’ll find echoes of your own struggles and the strength to face your own battles, no matter how impossible they seem. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Your support and enthusiasm mean the world, and I can’t wait to share what comes next. Stay strong. Keep pushing forward. The legend is just beginning. — InkReaper
