Plot A "Tower" has appeared, full of monsters to hunt and giving people Skill Cards that give them powers. Gongja Kim lives a dull life, wishing he could be like the famous Hunter Sooha Yoo, the "Flame Emperor". Then one day the Tower grants him a Skill Card, giving him the power to copy other people's skills... but only if the person kills him. Distraught at having obtained such a useless skill, he later witnesses Sooha Yoo commit murder. Sooha finds him and kills him, causing Gongja's skill to copy the one skill that can make it usable: Regression, the power to send his mind 24 hours back in time upon his death. Waking up one day in the past with his copied skill still intact, Gongja realizes he now has a chance to become the powerful hunter he dreamed of being.
