Chapter 1: Birth of an Unknown Power

Kaido was nothing more than a low-ranked hunter, working as a support member in missions with no real role. One day, he decided to join an expedition inside an S-rank Gate, where an eight-fin monster had been detected—a creature that no human could hope to defeat.

When they arrived, the battle began instantly. As expected, the monster was far beyond their capabilities. No one could stand against it, and destruction consumed everything in its path.

Kaido? He wasn't even part of the fight. He was just trying to survive.

But when he tried to escape, he found himself standing directly in front of the monster. With a single glance, his body was crushed.

Death...? No, it wasn't.

In the darkness, a being that shouldn't exist appeared before him—a monster with nine fins, stronger than anything humanity had ever witnessed.

> "You are the one I have chosen... but I won't give you my power so easily. You will start from the beginning, and climb to the top on your own."

When Kaido woke up, he was no longer inside the Gate. He was back in

the human world... but he was no longer the same.
