At first, she started as an antagonist; however, later, she became a valuable companion to Kim Dokja. Han’s exclusive skill, “Avatar,” is similar to Shadow-clone-jutsu from a popular manga series.

Every time he is killed, the world resets, and credit goes to his sponsor. He starts a new regression where he has to do everything all over.
