What is SSS-Class Revival Hunter about?
The anime is adapted from a South Korean webnovel by Sionna which was serialised from 2018 to 2020 on the Munpia platform. A manhwa, adapted by Neida and illustrated by Bill K, has been serialised online via the KakaoPage platform since December 2020. Tapas publishes the webtoon in English while WuxiaWorld does the same for the webnovel.
Crunchyroll describes the story as:
A mysterious tower crawling with monsters has suddenly appeared, drawing Hunters willing to risk their lives for glory and riches. Kim Gongja, a weak F-rank Hunter, spends his days envying the Flame Emperor who reigns as the top Hunter. But his chance at greatness finally arrives when he joins forces with the Sword Emperor and gains a rare S-rank skill, with one catch: he must die to activate it.
