Synopsis

Kim Min-jun was just an ordinary high school senior in South Korea when he was suddenly summoned to another world and forced to become a dark mage. Driven by a single-minded desire to return home, he fought through every hardship imaginable and ultimately saved that world using his dark magic. Turning down the hero's life and all the wealth and glory that came with it, he finally makes it back to Earth. He is barely settling in and savoring the comforts of home when things go sideways: dungeons have cracked open, monsters are pouring out, and his dream of a peaceful life is under immediate threat. And as if that weren't enough — less than a day after his return, he gets a military conscription notice.
