This is a world invaded by monsters, with all sorts of terrifying creatures constantly threatening human safety.

Once the connection is successful, one can gain the heroes' innate abilities, become a powerful being, and turn the tide against the monsters. Chen Ye, who traveled through time, was surprised to find that all the heroes that everyone associated with came from "One-Punch Man". While everyone else is pursuing S-class hero talents, only Chen Ye knows that the bald demon king among C-class heroes is truly invincible.

(Current progress of this book: The three-year period is over, the protagonist is invincible, and is currently giving the Earth a fuller haircut, shocking the whole world!)
