it is later revealed that the demon king actually almost died to MC inmense strength so he abandoned his body and became inmune to pshysical attacks, but vulnerable to magic ones
[collapse].So he infiltrate into a sort of begginers village to obtain magic, which in the 2nd chapter they show us his status and his values of magic related things are in the negatives, because of a lot of curses he had.SpoilerEscentially that happened because the world is facing a Calamity that tries to destroy the world (the demon king in this case), and if they defeat him another more powerful will appear till 5 of those calamities are destroyed. His friends, the 13 Champions decided to not kill the demon king in order to not let the other powerful calamities start. They argue and they split ways, so his friends starts spreading rumors of him to damage his reputation so that he cant gather allies to kill the demon king, MC goes on rampage, steal things, and gain power exceding humans by meeting a god, in the process of all that he is cursed by a lot of people, lowering his stats, he goes to kill the demon king but the demon king survives by leaving his body
[collapse]. So he tries to gain magic by himself so that he can kill the demon king alone.I like the story, it may have some loop holesSpoilerregarding the returnees and other things I probably havent noticed
[collapse] but overall its a good novel if you are reading it focused.
