The Fifth Top-Tier Expert?! Joining the Night’s Watch from the Start

When the gods awaken from their slumber, the world becomes their hunting ground.

Lin Qiye, a rookie Night Watcher judged to be “low-risk and ordinary,” has an ancient power sleeping within him, one that makes even the gods tremble: the God-Slayer.

A bloodstained sketchbook, a girl called a “vessel,” and a strange catastrophe sweeping across the globe... draw him into a vast conspiracy far beyond anything he could have imagined.

Under the Night Watchers' surface, dark currents are swirling. The mysterious organization known as the Eye of the Gear is pursuing a mad plan, while ancient “Tombs of the Old Gods” are awakening one after another... Behind it all, everything seems to point toward the same terrifying prophecy: the Final Hour.

Guided by his only ally, the enigmatic “Crow,” Lin Qiye is forced onto a path to survival riddled with thorns and betrayal. In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, where gods run rampant and order has collapsed, he must learn to control the power to “sever” fate, uncover the ultimate secret of his bloodline, and find the legendary “Starfall Coffin,” said to be capable of turning everything around.

But as he draws closer to the truth, he discovers that the greatest enemy may not be those indescribable ancient beings, but the greed and madness hidden in the deepest recesses of human nature...

“If fate has decreed destruction, then with the blade in my hand, I'll cut a path to survival!”

This is a story of hope born from despair, of raising a blade against the gods on the brink of destruction.

If the gods are destined to bring about destruction, then I will become a god-slayer!
