I’m telling you, acting is really just a hobby.

Not the VTuber part.

Contemporary college student Ye Leyao died suddenly from staying up late, and found himself transported into a world where several novels merged together, becoming the useless adopted son of the prestigious Huo family.

The good news is that, apart from him, everyone else in the family is a big shot. Eldest Brother Huo is a legendary figure in the business world, Second Brother Huo is a top actor in the entertainment industry, and Third Brother Huo is a skilled esports player and boss.

The bad news is, these big shots are all antagonists, and none of them have good endings.

Even worse news is that, upon waking up, he finds himself in the middle of a cheap romance involving Second Brother, who is oblivious to the fact that the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his seed at all!

Ye Leyao couldn’t help but scream inwardly: “Aaaaaahhhh—seriously? This romance-idiot still doesn’t know the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his?!”

All eyes in the family suddenly turn towards him. The second brother even stumbles.

Everyone: What?!

The top-tier Huo family adopted a young troublemaker some years ago.

Initially, nobody in the family paid him any mind. That is, until they could all hear Ye Leyao’s inner thoughts—

Just as Father Huo brings his down-and-out friend home. Ye Leyao’s inner voice: “Oh, so this is the little seductress trying to seduce Father Huo, plotting to make Mother Huo and Father Huo divorce, and wrecking the Huo family?”

Father Huo’s pupils dilate: “!” That night, before Ye Leyao can subtly hint to Mother Huo, the little seductress is personally “thrown” out by Father Huo.

During breakfast at home, Eldest Brother Huo takes a video call discussing crucial shipment matters with his assistant.

Ye Leyao perks up his ears, muttering to himself: “Why do I vaguely remember a typhoon changing course to pass through this route in a few days? Big Brother’s business deal is definitely going down.”

Eldest Brother Huo: “…” He immediately changes the shipping route with his assistant. Sure enough, five days later, news came that the original route was hit by a typhoon.

Afterwards, Eldest Brother Huo transfers five million into Ye Leyao’s account. Ye Leyao is astonished. Eldest Brother Huo tries to remain composed, saying calmly, “Take it, you’ve earned it.”

Third Brother Huo isn’t home often. After the league ends, he brings his newly recruited team members home for dinner. Just as they enter the house, Ye Leyao stares keenly at his new teammates.

Third Brother Huo is about to warn Ye Leyao against premature romance, when he hears Ye Leyao whispering in his mind: “They’re handsome alright, but unfortunately, they’re moles sent by the rival team.”

Third Brother Huo: “!!!” That night, Third Brother Huo begins investigating and not only discovers that the new teammates are moles from the rival team, but also finds out that his most trusted assistant has been secretly gathering data on their team!

A week later, another ten million appeared in Ye Leyao’s account.

Ye Leyao, holding the money happily: “Third Brother, you’re more generous than Big Brother!”

Just then, Eldest Brother Huo passes by: “…”

As a supporting character in the novel, Ye Leyao’s biggest dream is to save up money and flee with his family of antagonists when they hit rock bottom. Little did he expect that all these villains in his family would not only avoid disaster but thrive in their careers, and he would end up soaring with them.

In the back alleys of the Central Empire, there appears a monster that eats people.

And that’s me.

Sword God, Ahn Suho.
The greatest swordsman player in humanity was, surprisingly enough, a civil servant hunter belonging to the Korean Hunter Association.
Suho chose the path of a public servant purely to end the gates.

Perhaps that’s why?
When one of the disaster-level gates, called the final gate, was attacked,
In an ironic turn of events, he was betrayed by his comrades.

“You should have joined us from the beginning. Now I know why people say that civil servants are so inflexible.”

The reason his comrades betrayed him?
Because if the gates were closed, their power would disappear.

Is this the end?

Just as Suho’s consciousness was fading away,

[Rebooting Player Ahn Suho’s system.]
The system gave Suho one more chance.
A chance to go back to the past and set everything right.

?? Review

"Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant" is a Korean web novel that intertwines elements of action, fantasy, and adventure. The narrative centers on Ahn Suho, a formidable swordsman known as the "Sword God," who serves as a civil servant hunter within the Korean Hunter Association. Driven by a desire to eradicate the gates—portals unleashing monsters into the world—Suho's mission takes a dire turn when he is betrayed by his comrades during an assault on a catastrophic gate. Left for dead, he is granted a second chance as his system reboots, allowing him to return to the past with the opportunity to alter his fate and rectify past wrongs.

The novel delves into themes of betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of power dynamics. Suho's journey is marked by his cunning and strategic prowess as he navigates a world filled with dungeons, magic, and political intrigue. The incorporation of a game-like ranking system and the protagonist's dual role as a swordsman and healer add depth to the storyline.

Readers have praised the novel for its engaging plot and character development. One reviewer noted that while the story shows promise with interesting ideas, it occasionally becomes dominated by narratives about office politics, which may detract from the action-oriented aspects. Another reader described the novel as "the definition of mid, or average," citing the protagonist's rapid power progression and the plot's reliance on common tropes. However, the unique aspect of the protagonist becoming a healer in addition to his swordsman role has been highlighted as a refreshing twist.

Overall, "Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant" offers a blend of action and fantasy with a protagonist seeking redemption and justice. While it incorporates familiar elements from the genre, its unique twists and character dynamics provide an engaging experience for readers interested in tales of second chances and strategic battles.
