Tomb Raider King started as a web novel by SAN.G. The webtoon is drawn by 3B2S and has REDICE STUDIO’s Yuns handling the adaptation. Yen Press publishes volumes of the comic in English and describes the synopsis as such:
In the year 2025, mysterious tombs appeared all over the world, each housing an ancient relic granting supernatural abilities. The lucky few who quickly obtained these relics ruled over powerful monopolies. Others came to serve them, such as Jooheon Suh, a “raider” who hid in tombs to steal relics. Betrayed by his employer, Jooheon is left to die but instead finds himself transported 15 years in the past. Armed with years of tough raiding experience and knowledge of what is to come in the world of relics, does Jooheon have what it takes to become the “Tomb Raider King”?
The web novel is available in English on Wuxiaworld and Tapas. Tapas also has the webtoon on its platform.
Tomb Raider King‘s webtoon is serialized in Japan on Piccoma, with KADOKAWA publishing volumes under the MF Comics label.
The announcement of an animation adaptation of Tomb Raider King was made in 2024.
