Thousands of years ago, a legendary swordsman unleashed a single slash powerful enough to split the heavens, sever continents, and wound the gods themselves. That terrifying attack became known as “The Slash That Cut the World.” Since that day, the mysterious swordsman known only as the World Cutter vanished, leaving behind ruined civilizations, forbidden magic, and legends feared even by divine beings. Aren Valen is the weakest student of the Imperial Slayer Academy, an institution that trains elite warriors to fight the horrors born from the Void Lines. Unlike the talented nobles around him, Aren possesses no mana talent, no powerful bloodline, and no special abilities. Mocked daily, humiliated by genius students, and treated like trash by the academy, he struggles to survive in a world where strength determines everything. But everything changes on the night he nearly dies during a brutal academy incident. A strange mechanical voice suddenly echoes inside his mind. [Daily Check-In System Activated.] At first, Aren believes he is hallucinating. Yet the system continues granting him rewards every single day. Ancient sword techniques. Rare artifacts. Forbidden magic. Hidden stats. Level-up bonuses. Lost memories from forgotten eras. The longer he survives and continuously checks in, the greater the rewards become. What begins as a simple system soon reveals itself to be something terrifyingly ancient.

But the deeper he searches, the darker the truth becomes. The gods are not humanity’s protectors. The Void Lines were never natural disasters. And the legendary World Cutter may still exist somewhere beyond reality itself. Inside the academy, Aren rises from the weakest outcast to a monster feared even by the greatest geniuses. Outside the academy, a war between dimensions slowly approaches. Along his journey, Aren forms powerful alliances, encounters deadly rivals, discovers ancient magic, and meets mysterious women connected to the secrets of the Void.
