Tapas is releasing the webtoon in English digitally, and it describes the series:
Mysterious tombs appeared all over the world one day, each containing a relic which grants its owner supernatural abilities. 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 made their debut. Driven by feelings of revenge, how will Jooheon use his knowledge of the future to become the Tomb Raider King?
Ize Press is also publishing the webtoon in print, and will release the 14th volume on April 21.
The webtoon is based on SAN.G's web novel series. An English version of the novel series is available on Tapas, Wuxiaworld, and Wattapad.
