The Shatterfist by Wolfe Locke is a five-book LitRPG series following a retired S-ranked adventurer. The Retired S Ranked Adventurer volumes I through V, published between 2021 and 2025, tell the story of one of the world’s most powerful fighters who is drawn back into the adventuring life despite wanting to leave it behind.

The “retired hero returns” premise gives the series a different starting point than typical LitRPG — the protagonist begins at the top and must navigate a changed world rather than climbing from nothing. It is one of Locke’s more established series with the longest publication span.
