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?

    Started off fairly decent but when they started the auction part it became almost unbearable to read. There were whole chapters where only one bid would happen then they would waffle about gave the whole time and repeated this multiple times. Also this happened even after the auction ended and it just feels like the author is just copy and pasting to finish the chapter within a required word amount. Had good expectations but it was executed horribly especially too many face slapping scenes for a novel about a guy and his daughters

    I like the concept and adore VRMMORPGs. I can see the potential and would love to see the MC being smart and having smart schemes. All in all there is good potential so you should have a read and see for yourself!

    If you came here for a villain( a real villain) then please leave as this is not for you and me. Cause this is just another anti hero. He kills other villain. So calling him villain is far away. The Arthur should change the name and remove the villain tag as it misleads the people who want to read real villain.
