A synopsis of the series
The manhwa titled "I Was the Final Boss" shares the story of Baphomet, the ruthless, cold-blooded ruler of the mysterious Abyssal Tower, a dungeon filled with monsters that plague the world of humans. But there are also hunters in this world, and many of them have tried in vain to overthrow him and bring the tower tumbling.
However, despite his demonic strength, Baphomet develops an interest in humanity and eventually, when Raven, the strongest Hunter, defeats him, Baphomet realizes that his true desire is to be like the humans he had previously ridiculed. Nonetheless, he is granted his wish in death, as he awakens as a human, but without any of his powers.
Here's how Naver Cooperation, the company that serialized the I Was the Final Boss manhwa, describes it:
"Baphomet, the boss of the "Tower of Abyss," waits for a strong hunter who is able to fight on equal grounds against him. When he had grown bored of the repetitive battles, he began to gain interest in the world of humanity due to the trophies he had obtained from the dead hunters."
It continues:
"At the same time, he became further entranced by the existence of humans when the strong hunter he had always wished for appeared before him. Ultimately, Baphomet tries to become a human himself..."
What to expect? (Speculative)
As a fantastic action-packed manhwa, fans can expect plenty of amazing fights and action sequences in I Was the Final Boss. Additionally, since the series is incorporating fantasy and other elements of a similar nature, viewers can anticipate that these fights will be more intense.
Also, with so much emphasis on Baphomet, it's likely that he'll be the main focus of his character development throughout the series. The presence of so many dungeons and demons means that audiences can also anticipate the introduction of a number of new characters.
The I Was the Final Boss manhwa series is also likely to be a largely upbeat one, with the emphasis appearing to be on Baphomet completing his wish of becoming a human rather than exacting vengeance or defeating an adversary.
