Worthless Regression / 쥐뿔도 없는 회귀 / Jwippuldo Eobsneun Hoegwi / Владея Ничем / Regresión Inútil / Possessing Nothing

Worthless Regression (famously known in web novel circles as Possessing Nothing) is a gritty masterpiece of the "Dark Fantasy" and "Regression" genres, universally celebrated across the global manhwa community for its raw psychological depth, intense existential dread, and a protagonist who completely shatters the typical "overpowered cheat code" trope. This series has captured a massive international audience by turning the standard second-chance power fantasy inside out. It stands as a definitive "Psychological Progression Thriller," delivering a brutal, unforgiving saga where the main character doesn't inherit a broken system or god-tier skills—only the agonizing realization that his innate talent is absolute garbage, and every ounce of strength must be paid for in blood, broken bones, and sheer, maddening repetition.

The story follows Lee Sungmin, an ordinary, talentless human who was suddenly summoned alongside thousands of others into Eres, a brutal, survival-of-the-fittest fantasy world. After clawing his way through the gutters for thirteen miserable years as a low-ranking, disposable mercenary, he meets a pathetic, lonely death inside a dark dungeon. However, through a mysterious artifact, he is granted a regression, waking up as his 14-year-old self just after first arriving in Eres. Armed with future knowledge but plagued by the unchangeable reality of his bottom-tier genetic talent, Sungmin refuses to repeat his tragic history. Discarding all shortcuts, he embraces a path of extreme, self-destructive training, pushing his physical body past its biological limits to master basic spear arts and prove that a man with nothing can still hunt the geniuses of the world.
