I'm searching for a manga where the main male character is incredibly good at what he does (preferably fighting) from the beginning but in the place he is no one knows about him being so awesome and such.

Something like Chrome Shelled Regios' Layfon, Denyuuden's Ryner, or Hagure Yuusha's Akatsuki would be awesome. (I know none of those were originally manga, but a manga with an MC like them would be cool)

Also, preferably something with 5+ volumes and from after 2000 (please don't discuss why after 2000, I want recs not a discussion...)

I hope that description is specific enough XD

Dude.. there is a topic with pretty identical subject going on. You wouldn't even need the search function as it is right there in the most recently updated topics. Not everything posted there fits what you ask for, many entires will.

I saw that thread, but the thing is that question is far less specific so most things posted there probably won't fit in what I'm asking for... (to begin with I don't think there's much series with MC like the ones I described)

Actually, they have mentioned such entries

Id and Noblesse, for example.

Just filter the requests looking at the info of the manga page...

You can also try Protagonist Strong from the Start tag alongside above mentioned topics.

The MC is very good at fighting, incredible strong but almost no one knows (almost everyone look down on him because he have to hide his ability).

Tower of God

Nope, the MC get's stronger as the time goes on. Right now he's the strongest Regular, but in season 1 he was pretty weak (Not his fault thought). It's a classic "weak to strong" kind of story. Not something OP is looking for at least

While he wasn't the strongest in season 1, he wasn't weak either. In fact many people saw that he possessed a power that was special. Not only that but he was also very intelligent (as you can see from his first test in the Tower). So while I know the OP wants a story about a strong character right off the bat, I still recommend Tower of God b/c it certainly contains some of the things he is looking for.
