The Hero Who Shouldn't Have Returned

A decade ago, the world was saved by a single warrior. The Calamity Killer-a legend who single-handedly conquered every calamity-level gate, eradicating the monstrous threats that once plagued humanity. No one knew his true identity, only that he was the strongest hunter to ever exist. Then, one day, he vanished.

With his disappearance, the gates stopped appearing, and the world entered an era of peace. Hunters retired, governments stabilized, and people moved on. But they never forgot the man who had saved them all. His name remained in history-an untouchable myth.

Until now.

Ten years later, the Calamity Killer returns-but something is wrong. His overwhelming power is gone, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Worse, his reappearance triggers something terrifying... the gates have begun opening once more.

Once a prodigy who started clearing gates at just 15, he now faces a world that still remembers him as a legend-but he is no longer the invincible warrior they once knew. Weakened but not broken, he must train relentlessly to reclaim his former glory, all while uncovering the truth:

Why did he lose his power? Why are the gates returning? And this time... can he stop what's coming?
