Jooheon Suh is a tomb explorer, excavator, and raider. Betrayed by his employer, he’s about to die at the hands of a powerful new relic when he suddenly finds himself 15 years in the past before any relics or tombs make their debut. Driven by feelings of revenge, how will Jooheon use his knowledge of the future to become the Tomb Raider King?”
