„What am I doing with my life?” WoW player has set a challenge so absurd that after 292 hours he's starting to regret it

A few months ago, in classic WoW, a certain daredevil decided to bring the legend of Saitama from One Punch Man straight into Azeroth. Said person, OnepunchWarrior, set themself the following challenge:

So close, yet so far

Seven months later, our brave naked warrior is still fighting, but the battle is taking a toll on their mental stamina and pushing their patience to the limit. Even though he just hit level 55 a few days ago and the finish line seems within reach, there are still many challenges ahead of him.
