SOLO REBIRTH
More than a decade ago, the fabric of reality was torn apart, and a series of pathways appeared, connecting our world to another dimension. These pathways, known as the "Gates," ushered in untold horrors from the other side.
Bizarre creatures, known as "Magic Beasts," began to pour through the Gates, wreaking havoc on our world. These monsters proved immune to conventional weaponry, and humanity was on the brink of collapse.
But in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged. Some humans awakened to abilities that allowed them to combat the Magic Beasts. These individuals were known as "Hunters."
The magic coursing through each Hunter determined their rank, which was classified into a strict hierarchy:
- E-Rank: The lowest level, considered the weakest of all Hunters.
- D-Rank: A slight step up from E-Rank, but still considered relatively weak.
- C-Rank: A moderate level of strength, but still far from the top.
- B-Rank: A significant increase in power, with Hunters at this level considered formidable opponents.
- A-Rank: The highest level of strength among mortal Hunters.
- S-Rank: A legendary level of power, with only a handful of Hunters reaching this rank.
- National Hunter: A title given to Hunters who have achieved a level of strength and recognition on a national scale.
- Legendary Hunter: A title reserved for Hunters who have achieved unparalleled strength and fame.
- Apex Hunter: A title given to Hunters who have surpassed even the Legendary Hunters in terms of strength and ability.
- Demi-God Hunter: A title given to Hunters who have achieved a level of strength and power that is beyond human comprehension.
- Semi-God Hunter: A title reserved for Hunters who have transcended even the Demi-God Hunters, possessing abilities that are nearly divine.
- God Rank Hunter: A title given to Hunters who have achieved true godhood, possessing unparalleled strength and power.
- Omnipotence Hunter: A title reserved for Hunters who have achieved absolute omnipotence, possessing limitless power and ability to manipulate reality itself.
- Beyond Hunter: A title given to Hunters who have surpassed even the Omnipotence Hunters, possessing abilities that defy human understanding.
- Infinite/Limitless Hunter: A title reserved for Hunters who have achieved true infinity, possessing limitless strength and power.
The catch was that no amount of training could improve a Hunter's power once it awakened. A Hunter's strength and rank were set from day one, and they would remain at that level forever.
In a world where Hunters were the only ones who could protect humanity from the Magic Beasts, the hierarchy of Hunter ranks was a harsh reality. Those who were born with weaker abilities were often relegated to the sidelines, while those with stronger abilities were revered as heroes.
But in a world where strength was everything, what did it mean to be weak?
