This manhwa shares striking resemblances with “Seoul’s Station Necromancer,” particularly in terms of setting, themes, and characters. The plot unfolds in a dystopian future Earth where extra-dimensional beings are invading through portals connecting various worlds. These portals mysteriously open whenever a “returner” (an individual sent to another world) reappears on Earth. However, instead of fighting these invasions, the governments on Earth choose to exploit the power of the portals and assimilate some of the intelligent beings from these portals into our contemporary society.

In the story “The Druid of Seoul’s Station,” an unconventional character is captured by the Korean Awakener Association and labeled as an “irregular” due to his powers being hard to quantify. When he claims to have existed for more than a millennium, everyone is intrigued about the realm he came from. Unbeknownst to them, this individual has evolved into a supreme living entity, an Archdruid with the ability to control nature’s might in its entirety. The narrative follows the harsh and merciless Archdruid Park Suho, who yearns to establish a utopia on Earth, a haven for both animals and humans seeking refuge. Naturally, there are instances where he loses his temper and crushes a few heads, or summons a colossal fire whirlwind to obliterate Japan. But who are we to pass judgment?
