When he dies, he regresses back 100 days before the Great Mana Collapse—the apocalyptic event that turns the surface world into a frozen, acid-raining hellscape. ​Retaining his memories, Han awakens a God-Tier Construction System and two game-changing abilities: the power to see the future value of any land, and an infinite subspace Warehouse that freezes time for anything stored inside. While the royal family and high-ranking Guild Masters drain the kingdom's treasury to build flimsy wooden and stone surface bunkers, Han buys the most mocked piece of real estate in the kingdom—a "cursed," monster-infested mine—for pennies on the gold piece. ​As the 100-day countdown ticks away, Han stockpiles millions of tons of fresh food and builds the ultimate subterranean paradise complete with hot springs, luxury apartments, and automated death traps. When the sky breaks and acid snow buries the surface, the elite class flees for their lives—only to find Han standing behind a magical security door with a lease agreement, a smile, and an absurdly high rent invoice.
