I was just a normal guy who wrote a novel called I Got Reincarnated into a Magical World, and it became pretty popular. But one day, when I was writing the final chapter, someone broke into my house and killed me. When I woke up, I was confused at first, but then I realized I had been reincarnated into my own novel. And to top it off, there were four new characters that I hadn’t created. By the way, the reason I wrote this novel was to gain some experience before writing my main novel, which, if done right, will be ten times better than this one.

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?

They made me feel special and loved more than anything in the world and I was thrilled to be with them. Boys never came along to date me basically because it's either I'm too tall for their liking or I'm too robust or too perfect and studious or even much of a nerd who can't match their tastes. Kyle and Jules made sure I was okay and boy did they beat the shit outta those knuckle heads who dared to mock me for my appearance. Soon enough all these fantasies all came to an end because while I was in tenth grade and they were in their twelfth grade they both fell in love with some girls from the neighbouring school and I was soon discarded and left out to fend on my own. I became an object of mockery and taunts from all sides.

He was a tyrant and he made my life a living hell with every given chance he got. Belle his girlfriend a blond haired girl with brown eyes and long slender legs always taunted me relentlessly.

They gave me a hard time and without mercy they shred my clothe and made me an object of perpetual laughter while they made fun of my SpongeBob underwear, Evans and Michael Jenkins popularly know as MJ tired to cover my naked body but Jake ordered them no to do so. He stared at my body with lust and contempt in his eyes making me wonder what I had ever done to him to deserve all the hate. The shame was too much to bear and when I was went home I scrolled through the school platform and it was all over the media and I fell into a complete depressed stage. Days turned to weeks and weeks to years and then one day after the prom prank I had endured I decided to jump from the third floor of the venue. The pain was too much to bear as crismon liquid surrounded me like a pool. The pain felt like home and after several minutes of comfort I felt like my consciousness was slipping into the abyss surrounded by darkness.
