In a world where strength determines survival, Zero is given a second chance at life through a mysterious system. Awakening with the forbidden Dark Elemental Power and God Eyesight, he enters the ranks of hunters to prove himself. His journey begins in an F-rank dungeon, where he must fight goblins and overcome his limits. But when he faces the Goblin King, Zero realizes that brute force alone won’t be enough. Relying on cunning and skill, he claims victory but soon learns that true power requires patience—his dark abilities demand tenfold the effort to evolve.

With new strength but greater challenges ahead, Zero sets out to dominate this world, hiding his true power until the time is right.

I AM ZER0

After killing Luna from the Dark Organization, Zero returned to the Hunter Association to sell the Wolf King's corpse. With the money earned, he headed to the market to buy some equipment. Suddenly, an alarm blared, accompanied by an urgent announcement: "Everyone must return home immediately and evacuate the area. A C-level outbreak dungeon has appeared!".

Zero bought a sleek black suit and a stylish black mask. With his growing power, he was confident he could handle the C-rank dungeon.

From the Hunter Association, five C-rankers and ten D-rankers arrived to join the battle. Many D-rank orcs emerged from the dungeon, but the hunters handled them with ease. Zero watched the fight from above, thinking, "These hunters can easily manage the situation."

Suddenly, an Orc King appeared. Its power level was at C-rank, and it possessed elemental abilities. With a powerful use of earth magic, it shifted buildings and launched an attack at the D-rank hunters, instantly killing three of them. It then summoned spikes from the ground, eliminating four more D-rank hunters and injuring one C-rank hunter.

The remaining hunters stared in horror. "This monster is too strong!" one of them muttered.

A C-rank hunter wielding lightning abilities charged at the Orc King, unleashing a powerful punch infused with electricity. However, the Orc King caught him effortlessly with its bare hands and brutally crushed him.

Meanwhile, the smaller orcs began slaughtering the remaining D-rank hunters. Soon, only one D-rank hunter and three C-rank hunters remained, all paralyzed by fear as they found themselves surrounded.

At that moment, Zero stepped into the center of the battlefield. With incredible speed and his Shadow Claw ability, he began cutting through the small orcs, turning the tide of battle.

All of them were thinking, "Who is this guy?"

Zero said, "You guys handle the small ones, I'll take care of the Orc King."

A C-ranker asked him, "Are you from the reinforcements?"

Zero replied, "My name is Dark, and I am a lone hunter."

Without hesitation, Zero rushed toward the Orc King and landed a punch, but the creature's defense was too strong. The Orc King countered with a powerful punch, injuring Zero. It then used its spike ability, but Zero dodged all of them. The Orc King hurled a building at him, but Zero used his Shadow Claw ability to break through the debris and charged at the monster. With swift movements, he stabbed his dagger into the Orc King's eye, making it roar in pain. Seizing the opportunity, Zero unleashed a flurry of Shadow Claw attacks on its chest, breaking its defenses and ultimately killing it.

The remaining hunters watched in shock.

Just then, two B-rank hunters arrived as reinforcements. They confronted Zero, demanding, "Remove your mask and show us your face."

Zero responded, "I can't reveal my face."

One of the B-rank hunters smirked, "You can't escape from us. We're fast—B-rank hunters."

Zero felt a surge of power within him. He had gained 10 attribute points, and his Shadow Hide skill had been upgraded from E to D. He allocated 5 points to agility and 5 to stamina.

"Catch me if you can," he said, before vanishing from their sight.

The B-rank hunters were left stunned. "He's incredibly fast," one of them muttered.
