One-Punch Man: I Get Stronger When I’m Near Death

[Not an effortless, brainless victory] [One-Punch Man world + near-death evolution + C-rank comeback + growing stronger with age] “I told you, even though I’m C-rank hero Gu Jiu, I’m really just an ordinary person who gets stronger by taking a beating. I’m no immortal monster.” “What, you say I turn the tables every time I’m on the brink of death? Are you asking if I’m secretly cheating?” “Nonsense. It’s all because I’m ‘lucky.’ Don’t ask about time stopping or my age shooting up. I’m just a proper C-rank hero who catches petty thieves!” (This blurb doesn’t do the story justice, so please head to the main text. If you like a slow burn, start with Chapter 1. If you want to see the limiter broken, start with Chapter 45.)
