Global Descent: I Alone Can See Hidden Evolution Paths

**Betrayed by the world's strongest hero, he was thrown into the jaws of an Abyssal Dragon. But instead of dying, he wakes up ten years in the past—on the exact day the apocalypse begins.** In his previous life, Min-jae was known as the ultimate shield. With a worthless **F-Rank talent called Hard Skin**, he became nothing more than a human shield for Choi Sun-woo, the world's strongest hero. He endured countless battles, protected others with his own body, and was treated like disposable trash. But during the final dungeon, the person he trusted the most betrayed him. To open a Divine Chest, Sun-woo threw Min-jae straight into the mouth of an Abyssal Dragon. "Your useless talent finally has a purpose, Min-jae. Die so I can ascend." That should have been the end. But instead of death, Min-jae wakes up ten years earlier—back to the very moment when the world changed forever. This time, he refuses to become anyone's shield. When the global system once again judges his talent as worthless, a mysterious golden interface appears before him. **[Ding! Cosmic Cheat System activated.]** **[Hidden evolution path discovered for talent: Hard Skin.]** **[Evolution complete: Rank-SSS talent — Eternal Vajra Deity Body.]** With this new power, Min-jae gains absolute physical defense and the ability to reflect damage back at his enemies. The world's geniuses boast about their powerful S-Rank skills? They attack him once... And are destroyed by their own strength. Ancient gods look down on humanity? Min-jae simply stands there and lets them strike until they destroy themselves. Armed with ten years of future knowledge and an unbeatable SSS-rank ability, Min-jae begins his ruthless climb to the top. To the gods who treat humanity as a game: Prepare to become the hunted. To the hero who betrayed him: Prepare to face the consequences. This time, Min-jae isn't here to survive. He's here to rule. **What to Expect:** * An overpowered protagonist from the very beginning. * A ruthless main character who shows no mercy to his enemies. * Satisfying revenge and endless power growth. * Kingdom building and hidden dungeon exploration.
