Pretending To Be Weak

In a world ravaged by monstrous creatures emerging from mysterious portals known as Caves, humanity faces one of the most devastating raids in history. As Caves begin appearing across the globe, unleashing chaos, all available hunters are dispatched to contain the threat. One elite guild becomes trapped inside a high-level Cave with no reinforcements in sight—except for one man: Maximus Knight, widely known as the weakest of all awakened hunters. Desperate, the Hunters Association reluctantly sends Maximus on what seems like a suicide mission. Against all odds, he succeeds in rescuing the elite hunters—but dies in the process. No statues were raised. No one mourned him. He was forgotten. Years later, Maximus awakens in the body of his 16-year-old self, reborn into a changed world. But something is different this time—he's been chosen by a mysterious and powerful system, one unlike anything the world has seen. A system that calls him its Player. The world has moved on without him. A new generation of hunters is being trained at Bladelight Academy, named after the hero believed to have saved the world during that fateful raid. Now, Maximus returns—not as the weak hunter he once was, but as something else entirely. As he navigates the academy, makes new allies and enemies, and uncovers the truth behind his death and rebirth, he begins to realize… He’s no longer playing by the world’s rules. The system is shaping him into a force no one is prepared for.

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

He defied the heavens once, he returns to do it again. In a past life, he was Xie Wuchen, the heretic god of cultivation.

His mana core is broken. His name is a joke. His existence, forgotten. Until the rain falls. And something awakens: [Forbidden Arts Synchronization: Complete] [Elapsed Time: 16 years, 10 months, 15 days] [Memory Restoration in Progress…] The soul of Heaven’s greatest traitor has returned with a hunger far greater than revenge. And he plans to do more than ascend the magical hierarchy. He will annihilate it. This time, he will forge an empire—not of nobles or spellcasters, but something this new world have never known—Cultivators, trained in arts banned by gods and feared by men. Those who mocked him will kneel. Those who ruled by birthright will burn. And the heavens, once again, will tremble. Magic rules this world. But cultivation will conquer it.

In his ninth life, he awakens not as a genius, not as trash but as a man who can remember everything. All the pain. All the power. All the paths he walked. And with it comes something the heavens never expected: He can absorb the strength of every life he has lived. Martial arts he mastered as a street fighter. Forbidden spells he learned as a dark priest. Schemes he survived as a slave. Power he wielded as a fallen king. The world believes he's just another disciple in a forgotten sect. But the truth? He is the Ninth Grave. The last rebirth. The final storm. He was cursed to die. Now, he is destined to reign.
