In Aeria, a brutal world where people from countless dimensions are summoned, only the strong survive. Lee Sungmin, a talentless mercenary with nothing to his name, meets a meaningless death like so many others. But just before dying, he activates a mysterious item that sends him back to the past. Reborn as a 13-year-old, Sungmin begins again with no talent, no money, and no special privileges. Armed only with knowledge, grit, and relentless effort, he sets out to defy a world that has already decided his worth.
Worthless Regression strips the regression genre down to its harshest core. There are no flashy skills, no divine blessings, and no instant victories—only repetition, failure, and stubborn persistence.
Sungmin’s journey is exhausting in the best way. Every small improvement feels earned, making his progress far more satisfying than typical power-fantasy regressions. The story emphasizes mindset, preparation, and survival rather than destiny, setting it apart from more conventional titles.
This is a must-read for fans who enjoy realistic growth, long-term payoff, and protagonists who succeed through sheer refusal to give up.
