In a world where strange gates kept opening out of nowhere, spilling monsters into the cities like some kind of nightmare, lived a boy named Alex.He was just seventeen and honestly, almost everyone called him the weakest hunter ever born.Even the lowest rank hunters joked about him behind his back.But Alex didn't really have the luxury to care. His mother was sick with an illness nobody could cure, and his little sister needed him more than anything.

So, even though he barely had any strength in him, he still became a hunter.He had to earn something… somehow.

One day he entered a gate with a few hunters.They said it was a simple C - rank dungeon, nothing too dangerous.But the moment they stepped inside, something felt wrong.The air turned colder, the torches burned blue, and a weird pressure filled the whole place.Before anyone even understood what was happening, the gate changed—like it upgraded itself into an S - rank dungeon.

Everyone panicked.And for good reason.Giant statues came alive and started killing hunters like they were made of paper.No one could stop them.People were screaming, running around, trying anything to survive.Alex, shaking and scared out of his mind, noticed an old stone tablet with rules carved on it.While everyone else ran blindly, he just followed the instructions quietly, step by step.

When everything ended, Alex was the only one alive.He was bleeding, barely standing, and honestly, he felt like his soul had cracked.He sat there, crying, and whispered, "I just… want one more chance to be different."

And right then, the whole dungeon exploded with light.

The System Awakens

Next thing he knew, he woke up in a hospital.A glowing blue screen floated in front of him, asking him something insane: "Do you accept the System?" He had no idea what was happening, but he pressed Yes.Maybe it was hope… or just desperation.

After that, the System forced him through the toughest tasks any human could imagine.Survival challenges, endless running, harsh daily missions that almost tore his body apart.Day after day, Alex pushed himself, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing at how crazy his life had become.But slowly, he changed.His body grew stronger, faster, sharper.

One day, after completing a brutal quest—surviving twelve hours in some nightmare realm—he got a golden treasure box.Inside it was something called the Elixir of Life.It looked unreal, glowing softly like it held magic itself.

He didn't even think twice. He ran straight to the hospital and gave it to his mother. As soon as she drank it, a warm light wrapped around her, healing everything inside her body. When she opened her eyes and whispered his name, Alex broke down crying. He had saved her life. It felt like the world had finally given him something back.

But that day, he also realised something.The gate he had survived… wasn't just any dungeon. It felt too strange, too powerful, too intentional.

He didn't know the whole truth yet, but he made a silent promise: that one day he would return to that place—no matter how strong he needed to become—and he would kill whatever was hiding inside it.

The Rise

Time passed.Alex kept leveling up, fighting stronger monsters, clearing harder gates.His fame grew without him even trying.In one dungeon, he ended up fighting an entire army of monsters and even killed the Monster King, an S - rank creature feared by everyone.The souls of the monsters he defeated started to gather around him, forming into an army that obeyed only him.Other hunters watched in shock.The weakest boy in the world had become the tenth S - rank hunter.

But Alex didn't care about fame. His eyes were fixed on that one gate.

One day, he finally found it again.The same blue flames, the same eerie silence, the same markings on the walls.It was the exact same gate he had entered when he was still weak.Except now… he wasn't the same boy anymore.

He entered it calmly.The monsters inside that once terrified him fell within seconds.And deeper inside, he found the truth—this wasn't a dungeon at all. It was a Gate of Gods. The same gods who tried to test him, break him, maybe even kill him long ago.

But now the gods trembled.

Gods—beings worshipped by whole worlds—kneeling in fear before the boy they once mocked.

Alex didn't forgive them. He destroyed every one of them, fulfilling the promise he had made to himself on the night he first accepted the System.

Legend

Even after ending the gods who controlled his fate, Alex didn't stop training. He kept pushing forward, as if strength itself was a never-ending road. He had risen from the weakest hunter alive to something that didn't really have a rank anymore.Something beyond human.Something that belonged to legend.

Alex became the Last Hunter—feared, respected, and remembered as the one who dared to challenge gods… and won.

And in some strange way, this was only the beginning of his rise.
