Age Regression Test

Ethan is an ordinary college student, majoring in history and leading a quiet, unremarkable life. One day, while walking home from class, he is suddenly engulfed by a mysterious portal and transported to Aetheria, a sprawling fantasy world of magic, monsters, and legendary heroes. Upon arrival, he discovers he has been summoned as a “hero” to aid the realm against an encroaching darkness. However, his magical aptitude is abysmally low, and he fails every basic test and training exercise. The other heroes and villagers quickly label him “the weakest hero”, mocking him as a liability. Desperate and confused, Ethan’s life seems doomed… until a hidden system activates. A mysterious interface appears before him, explaining: > “Your power grows through failure. Each mistake, setback, and defeat will grant you new skills or enhance your existing ones. Your strength is derived not from talent, but from resilience and perseverance.” With this strange rule in place, Ethan begins to experiment. At first, his failures are laughably pathetic: falling off training cliffs, accidentally triggering explosions, or summoning useless monsters. Yet, each failure brings surprising growth: a missed spell suddenly evolves into a devastating magical combo, a botched sword swing awakens latent elemental energy, or a misstep in stealth unlocks precognition. As he slowly accumulates a patchwork of bizarre yet powerful abilities, Ethan’s reputation shifts from the weakest hero to a legendary wildcard, a hero who seems to defy logic and overwhelm enemies in the most unexpected ways.

At the tender age of seven, Ethan Sanders's family were brutally murdered. Fortunately, he was saved by an old man who took care of him. In fulfillment of the old woman's final wish, he married Tina Macy, who was managing her family's business through numerous challenges. After they wed, Tina Macy's business boosted, becoming a top 10 in Newberg City. Realizing her business had peaked, Tina's parents told her to divorce Ethan, thinking that he's useless and poor. At first, she refused but she later served him divorce papers a few days after the old woman's death. However, they didn't know that Ethan Sanders is a mysterious man, the best mercenary, most talented businessman, the best doctor in the world and the king of the underworld world. He's also the leader of all the Mafias. He built a business empire when he was young and he's extremely rich. Now, Ethan is ready to avenge his family's death and those that looked down upon him won't be forgiven.

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again. Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown. Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster. Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more. Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.

Among them a boy with sharp eyes and untamed hair, no older than sixteen. Lin Dong. Whispers rise around him. “The failure of the Lin family…” “His father lost everything to Lin Langtian.” But Lin Dong says nothing. His jaw tightens, his fists curl. “I’ll make them remember my name.” The gong strikes. The test begins. One by one, disciples unleash their Yuan Power, glowing faintly with light. When Lin Dong steps forward silence. He places his palm on the stone pillar. Nothing. No glow. No tremor. Just cold stone. Laughter ripples through the crowd. Lin Langtian, his older cousin, smirks from afar already a martial prodigy, already chosen by the clan elders. But Lin Dong’s eyes don’t lower. There’s something burning behind them something feral. That night, he runs into the mountains, fists bleeding, shouting into the dark. “If the heavens won’t give me power, I’ll take it myself!” Lightning flashes and the earth trembles. From beneath the ancient roots, a strange stone talisman rises glowing with ancient runes. The air hums, trees bow, and the mountain itself seems to breathe. Lin Dong stares at it, breathless. The talisman pulses once… twice… then melts into his palm. His eyes widen his veins blaze with golden light. And somewhere, deep within the realm of spirits… something wakes up. “Finally… someone worthy.”

In July 2018, the [Tower of Erase] appeared and changed the lives of 8 billion people. Those who were chosen were given 'special abilities.' One by one, these chosen people call themselves Challengers and attack the Tower. For ten years, the number of people awakened and given special abilities rapidly rose. Soon, teenagers within the age of 13 and above started to manifest abilities. Axel Hart, a seventeen year old high school student, was bullied repeatedly by his classmates who developed special abilities, just because he didn’t have any. Among all the students, he was the only person in that entire school who didn’t have powers. One afternoon, the bullying went too far. In the hands of his classmates, he died. He knew he died, but he woke up the next day with a magical mysterious book floating in front of him. The words ‘For my brother, Axel’ were written in bold on the cover. What’s more, it was from his brother, Nyx, who died inside the Tower one year ago! What secrets does this book have?!

In the history books, General Silas Kapito was known as the "God of War"—a man who unified a fractured continent through sheer tactical brilliance and unmatched hand-to-hand combat mastery. He didn't use magic; he used physics, anatomy, and absolute ruthlessness. He died of old age, undefeated. He awakens three centuries later in the body of Kian, a "Dreg" (lowest caste) at the prestigious Valhalla Military Academy. Kian is a malnourished, debt-ridden cadet known as the Academy’s punching bag, kept alive only to serve as a sparring dummy for the elite "Augmented" nobility who rely on steroids and cybernetic implants to fight. Trapped in a frail body that can barely throw a punch, Silas realizes the world has grown weak, relying on technology and drugs rather than true skill. Now, he must rebuild Kian’s body using the lost "breathing arts" of the ancients (extreme oxygenation and adrenaline control). He will not just survive the bullying; he will dismantle the Academy’s hierarchy bone by bone, proving that a true God of War needs no augmentation to rule.
