Conquering the Academy with a Sashimi Knife

I dropped out of high school and spent nearly twenty years honing my skills with a knife.

I was so busy with life that I never really had any hobbies. The most I dabbled in was mobile games with auto-hunting features.

I had a natural talent for handling blades. There wasn't anything I couldn't cut through, and nothing I couldn't slice. Of course, that didn't come without effort—I worked hard enough to wear blisters into my palms.

Before I knew it, I had earned the title of "The Nation's Best " in my line of work.

I didn't like getting too comfortable, so I never stayed in one place for more than three years. I even helped revive several businesses that were on the verge of collapse.

In fact, my skills became so renowned that I hit it big. People from all corners of the country sought out my knife work—even the mob and gangsters.

Sure, they tried to scout me, but I turned them down without a second thought.

I had spent my entire life fileting fish, and now they wanted me to join a gang? Even if they offered me a fortune, I wasn't interested in that kind of life.

I'm rambling a bit.

If you're familiar with these kinds of clichés, you've probably figured out what's coming next.

That's right.

I became a character in a game.

A game I had quit after spending a few bucks on because the female characters were my type.

And now, here I am—blessed by the Sword God.
