Kill the Hero

Kill the Hero is a dark, strategic, revenge-driven manhwa that flips typical hero narratives upside down. The story begins when Kim Woojin is betrayed by the very hero he trusted the most. After dedicating his life to saving humanity, Woojin is murdered by Se-Jun, the man celebrated as the savior of the world. However, death doesn’t end his story. Instead, it becomes the beginning of a new path fueled by vengeance, intelligence, and absolute determination. When Woojin suddenly regresses to the past, he realizes he has a single mission—to Kill the Hero who destroyed everything.

With memories of the future, Woojin becomes an unstoppable tactical force. He knows the hidden dungeon routes, rare items, guild politics, and the secret corruption behind Se-Jun’s rise to power. While others believe the world’s hero is a symbol of justice, Woojin knows the horrifying truth. He strategically uses the dungeon system to grow stronger, taking advantage of loopholes, monster weaknesses, and rare artifacts that once slipped through his fingers. Every move he makes is calculated, pushing him closer to his goal to Kill the Hero and dismantle the false hero’s empire piece by piece.

As Woojin begins clearing high-rank dungeons alone, players around the world are shocked by the rise of an unknown powerhouse. His new persona is cold, fearless, and ruthlessly efficient. Unlike his past self, this Woojin doesn’t trust anyone easily. He builds alliances only when they benefit his mission and crushes enemies who stand in his way. Through this journey, Kill the Hero delivers a blend of psychological warfare, strategic dungeon crawling, and intense combat sequences that highlight the MC’s intelligence as much as his strength.

The manhwa also explores themes of betrayal, corruption, and justice. Woojin’s revenge is not blind rage—it is sharp, planned, and emotionally charged. As the story progresses, the line between hero and villain blurs. Readers begin to question whether Woojin truly seeks justice or simply craves retribution. This moral complexity is what makes Kill the Hero so compelling.

With twists, political intrigue, and shocking reveals, Kill the Hero stands out as one of the strongest entries in the regression and revenge genres. Fans of overpowered protagonists, strategic battles, and dark storytelling will find this manhwa gripping from start to finish. Woojin’s journey is not just about defeating monsters—it’s about rewriting destiny, exposing lies, and ultimately making the world see the truth behind the so-called hero. In the end, his mission stays the same: to Kill the Hero who betrayed him.
