Absolute Regression (Korean: 절대회귀) is a high-intensity Murim (Martial Arts) manhwa that stands out for its dark atmosphere, relentless pacing, and a protagonist who is the definition of "cold-blooded efficiency." Based on the novel by GD, it is a favorite for fans who prefer a darker, more mature take on the regression trope without the typical "academy" fluff.

The story follows Kwon Hwi, a legendary assassin and the "hidden blade" of the Great Heavenly Demon Sect. After spending his life as a tool for the bloodthirsty Blood Demon, he is betrayed and murdered. However, he regresses back to his childhood—to the moment before he was kidnapped and turned into a killing machine. Armed with the memories of the world's most lethal martial arts and the secrets of the Great Sects, Kwon Hwi decides to walk the "Path of the Absolute," intending to destroy the Blood Demon and rewrite the bloody history of the Murim world.
