I Regressed After Killing the Dark Lord

After defeating the Great Dark Lord and saving humanity, the legendary knight Matthew Ardent was betrayed and murdered by the person he trusted most-his companion, Dazel.

Moments before his death, Matthew learns the truth: Dazel had secretly allied with the Dark Lord years ago, exchanging Matthew's life for wealth, power, and status.

But fate grants Matthew a second chance.

He awakens years in the past, before the war that would plunge the world into darkness. Armed with memories of the future, Matthew decides to change everything.

This time, he will place his trust in no one.

Knowing the horrors that lie ahead and the overwhelming power of the Dark Lord, Matthew abandons his former naivety and devotes himself to becoming stronger than ever before. While hiding the truth of his regression, he must navigate a world filled with hidden enemies, political schemes, and a companion whose betrayal has yet to occur.

Can Matthew surpass his previous self and defeat the Dark Lord once again?

Or will the shadows of betrayal consume him before the future can be changed?

In his second life, trust is a luxury he can no longer afford.
