Synopsis
Kang Yu-hyeon spends ten years struggling to stay alive after the apocalypse overwhelms Earth. When he is finally on the verge of death, he wishes he could start over—not as a disposable extra, but as the hero of his own life. Instead, Yu-hyeon awakens ten years in the past as a Teller, a nonhuman storyteller with a very different role from the warriors he once envied. His memory of the ruined future gives him an unusual advantage: he knows which people are capable of becoming extraordinary. He sets out to find and support those potential protagonists, using his second chance to build a future in which he is no longer powerless.
The hook here is the change in perspective. Yu-hyeon does not simply restart the apocalypse with stronger attacks or better equipment; he comes back in a role tied to other people’s stories. Knowing who will matter in the future turns selection, preparation and the support of rising heroes into the heart of his progression. That makes this a good fit for readers who enjoy regression stories with system rules, strategic character recruitment and an early advantage built on knowledge rather than brute force.

What it feels like
The defining feature is the Teller perspective: this is not just another rewind-and-fight premise. Yu-hyeon gains leverage by recognizing the protagonists other people overlook.
