MC is sole survivor of his village after bandits attacked and is taken in by an elder scholar of a sect. But with his crippled leg, he's looked down upon. Through tough circumstances, he ends up learning martial arts and skills. It's his story of traveling around with a mini-chef, beating bad guys, and finding his master

When the world faces monsters, the 12 gods blessed 12 humans as their apostles to defeat them. But our MC was strong on his own--leading to the betrayal of his comrades when they fight a demon tower. Trapped for years and fighting, he's resurrected at his death by the "13th" god. He escapes and wants vengeance.

I love him, Your Honor. Such gremlin energy.
He became a god after fighting his way through Earth's apocalypse but is feared and put on trial, stripped of his powers and sent to die. But the god of death gives him an opportunity to go back in time if he fights rule-breaking gods for him. MC then wants revenge on those who wronged him.
