I Am The Sorcerer King (Korean: 나는 마도왕이다) is a premier South Korean webtoon and web novel that helped define the "Modern Hunter" and "Regression" subgenres. Written by Decade and illustrated by MIRO, it ran from 2019 to 2021 and is frequently compared to Solo Leveling for its "Zero-to-God" progression and slick, system-based combat.

The story is set on an Earth where "Dungeons" and "Monsters" appeared 10 years ago, forcing humans to awaken as "Awakened" hunters to survive. The protagonist, Lee Sung-hoon, is a "Monster Bait"—the lowest rank of hunter who risks his life to distract monsters for elite teams to earn money for his mother's medical bills. During a near-death experience in a dungeon, he regains the memories of his past life as Kratraus, a legendary Sorcerer King from a high-fantasy world who reached the pinnacle of magic. Now, armed with the knowledge of a god-tier archmage in a world that only understands basic "game skills," Sung-hoon begins his meteoric rise to reclaim his throne.
