I would like to introduce a new Manhwa to you guys. With so many "Gaming" type Manhwa and "Isekai" manga, many are saturated with weak MC's suddenly developing into OP characters with attitude(Solo Leveling) and cringy female character dynamics(Re:Zero, Rising shield hero, etc.).
This manga revolves around a Skeleton working for a succubus whose master(succubus) has been killed and he too is about to be taken out by humans. During his death, he yearns for another chance, a chance to save his master. Then, he is revived but, he has been revived to the first time he was ever summoned, 20 years ago. He is face to face with his first master, Rubia (the daughter of a human noble on the run after a coup) who was a weak necromancer and he is also seeing a blue screen with game-like features. His first master was not someone he even remembers anymore as he was weak at the time of summoning and she died shortly after summoning at hands of mercenaries.
But, this time he wants to protect his master as he does not wish to let any more deaths. But, he fails again as he is a weak skeleton and the mercenaries make short work of him but, something is different, he comes back and sees his first master again, with his memories retained. He manages to kill the mercenaries after four more deaths. After that, he wants to help Rubia and eventually meet his master, Succubus. He travels to a nearby town to get supplies but, as he is a skeleton and would stand out, Rubia enters the city to get some clothes and supplies. After a long wait, she has not returned and he decides to find out what happened. He finds Rubia's body mangled, she seems to have been raped and killed. Why did this happen again? What does he do now? He finds out the truth that the city's lord is working for the ousted city Rubia hails from and so, she was killed. He kills the men who come to bury her body, takes a suit of armor, and goes to train at a nearby cave to get stronger, in hope of not losing anyone else again.
This is a fantastic new mature twist to the gaming and isekai genre. It feels like a mix of solo leveling and Re: Zero without the cringe and OP elements. It has a good story building, unlike Re: Zero the MC here takes different paths, his end goal is not immediate but, remains long-term(finding succubus). during his journey, we across the world he lives in, the power struggles that are happening, and the agendas of the different races.
He was summoned by a human but, eventually works for a succubus(a demon) who is waging war against humans, for years he was a skeleton in a large army and did not see the world from the top so, he and we unravel the world together.
