My Mom is My Constellation

Hwang Jaemin was dealt the worst hand possible in the hunter world. Orphaned at a young age, his lifelong dream was to follow in the footsteps of his heroic parents. Instead, his career ends in tragedy—choking on his own blood while being bound to a cruel constellation who takes pleasure in his agony. On the brink of death, an enigmatic constellation intervenes and offers him a miraculous second chance, rewinding time by three years to the day of his initial awakening. But when he inspects his new celestial sponsor, he is dumbfounded by their true identity: it’s his late mother, Sung Hyunsook! Now, powered by celestial motherly care, home-cooked buff packages, and divine maternal wrath, Jaemin embarks on a heartwarming and explosive journey to the pinnacle of the hunter ranks.

Once an F-grade player who died a miserable death, Jae-min regressed three years into the past. Armed with memories of the future and the unprecedented sponsorship of his deceased S-rank mother as his personal constellation, he is determined to protect his loved ones, expose corrupt organizations, and stop planetary calamities. He is pragmatic, fiercely protective, and relentless in training. Powers: Advanced circle magic cultivation, explosive lightning and high-density aether manipulation, and spirit magic. He possesses divine blessings from his mother, allowing him to access the Battlefield sanctuary, legendary armaments, and dimensional travel capabilities.

Jae-min’s late S-class mother. After her tragic passing, her maternal devotion allowed her to ascend to the heavens as a divine Constellation.

Powers: Divine authority, sanctuary creation (the Battlefield), memory-manifestation (creation of homunculi like Rebecca), and celestial item projection.

The ruthless and sadistic leader of the Mad Dog Guild. She operates illegal underground facilities where human experiments are conducted on children to create artificial powerhouses.

A homunculus maid created from the memories of Sung Hyunsook. She resides within the divine Battlefield sanctuary, serving as Jae-min's exceptionally strict and demanding combat instructor.

Powers: Advanced elemental spirit magic, purification support, and the ability to breach divine barriers and navigate spiritual dimensions.

A majestic, high-ranking Cloud Dragon Constellation who serves as the divine guardian of the White Bloodline tribe in the world of Veyra.

Powers: Weather manipulation, cloud/mist control, and the ability to bestow protective draconic items, such as her sacred protective scale, which grants high magic resistance.

A highly powerful, rogue Constellation originating from the Murim continent (Central Plains). Driven by greed and arrogance, he violates divine laws by invading Sung Hyunsook’s sanctuary. After being stripped of his System-administered status for his crimes, he murders his captors and escapes into the forbidden Black Area. Powers: God-tier swordsmanship, sword qi manipulation, spatial slashing, and immense martial arts cultivation.

A terrifying demonic entity equipped with mechanical wings who rules over the Western region of the world of Veyra.
