Reverse Villain

Jung-woo is trapped in a cycle of reincarnation with his rival, Shin-Ryong. From a young age, he dreamed of becoming powerful enough to conquer Murim, but Shin-Ryong consistently bested him. After five reincarnations and repeated losses, Jung-woo is reborn for the sixth time, this time in the modern era. The change in setting alters his objective, as Murim no longer exists in this world.
