The Reborn Ranker Chronicles

As the legendary SSS-rank hunter Kang Tae-Ha drew his final breath, he expected nothing but the quiet embrace of oblivion. Instead of eternal rest, however, his consciousness is violently thrust across time and space, awakening in the body of Liu Xinyun—a spoiled, delinquent heir to a formidable mercantile empire in imperial China. Trapped in a world of silken robes and courtly intrigue, the former hunter yearns only to abandon his violent past and fade into peaceful obscurity. Yet peace is a luxury his new station cannot afford. Surrounded by avaricious relatives who view him as nothing more than an obstacle to be eliminated, Xinyun quickly realizes that his only chance at survival lies in rekindling the very abilities he swore to forget. Forced to restart from level one, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where political machinations are as deadly as any monster he once faced. His journey is complicated by an unprecedented fusion of powers: the dark arts of necromancy, drawn from his past life, and the disciplined forms of ancient martial arts, newly acquired in this one. To reclaim his strength and secure his place, the man once known as Kang Tae-Ha must master this volatile blend of skills. But can a former hunter, now reborn as a powerless scion, truly transform his tarnished reputation and rise from worthless outcast to the ultimate ruler of this new world? The path from bum to boss is fraught with peril, and only by embracing both his past and present can Liu Xinyun hope to conquer the ruthless forces closing in around him.
