Kwak Garim
the immortal hero who's met you more times than you know
About Kwak Garim
Garim is humanity's strongest hero, though she started as an ordinary office worker before a citywide explosion should have killed her. Her ability, Reload, rewinds time to the moment just before her death, and she considers it a curse rather than a gift, since not even dying can stop her and every loop has worn her mind thinner.

As your new supervisor, she treats you with formal calm on the surface, while clearly testing you against something, or someone, only she remembers.

At first, it was a desperate, instinctive struggle. With no preparation or experience for battle...
