I Returned After Spending 9999 Years in the Backrooms.
Suspicious people keep trying to lock me in isolation rooms.
I’m telling you, I’m human!
💡 Imagine spending 9,999 years in the "Backrooms"—that infinite, yellow-carpeted nightmare of endless corridors and eldritch entities. Kim Hyun-min didn't just survive; he became the apex predator of that abyss. When he finally "returns" to Earth, he finds himself in the body of a small, pale girl in a gothic dress—the "Black Princess." The catch? He is convinced he is still a perfectly normal, kind-hearted human, while his mere presence triggers national alerts and terrifies every SCP-style containment agency on the planet. It’s a dark, absurd action-comedy about the terrifying gap between a hero’s self-perception and the horror they actually inspire.
Ch. 1–10 (The Return Trauma): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The contrast between the harrowing backstory of the Backrooms and the absurdity of returning as a "Gothic Lolita" is both hilarious and unsettling. Watching professional containment teams panic while the MC tries to be "helpful" is a perfect setup.
Ch. 11–28 (Ongoing - Anomalous Chaos): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Pacing. The story moves into a "Monster of the Week" rhythm where the MC settles catastrophic incidents as if they were minor chores. The mystery of why the Earth is now being infested by anomalies similar to the Backrooms keeps the stakes high.
