When mysterious creatures known as calamities descend upon Earth, the zodiac gods awaken twelve humans as saints to oppose them. Alongside them awakens Geon Lee—an unchosen warrior whose strength surpasses them all. Betrayed by his allies and left to die, Geon disappears from the world for twenty years. When he finally returns, his power has grown to catastrophic levels. As the saints and gods continue their struggle against calamities, Geon steps back into a world that abandoned him. With memories of betrayal and unmatched strength, he sets out to confront those who wronged him and expose the truth behind the system that discarded its strongest defender.
Return of the Disaster-Class Hero thrives on dominance and catharsis. Geon Lee’s return is not about redemption or forgiveness—it is about accountability. The story wastes little time establishing the power gap, allowing readers to experience the satisfaction of watching former betrayers face the consequences of their actions.
The blend of modern fantasy, mythology, and apocalypse creates a high-energy backdrop where gods are flawed, saints are corruptible, and power determines authority. Geon’s personality reinforces the tone: confident, ruthless, and unwilling to compromise. Combat emphasizes overwhelming force rather than drawn-out struggle.
While the narrative sacrifices subtlety for spectacle, that trade-off is intentional. Readers who enjoy returnee fantasies, revenge-driven plots, and unapologetically overpowered protagonists will find this manhwa highly engaging.
