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 new Night's Watch recruit classified as “low-risk and ordinary,” carries within him an ancient power that makes even the gods tremble: the Godslayer. A bloodstained sketchbook, a girl called a “vessel,” and a supernatural catastrophe sweeping across the globe... all draw him into a vast conspiracy beyond anything he could have imagined. Under the Night's Watch, undercurrents are stirring. The secret organization known as the Eye of the Gear has a deranged plan, and 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 mysterious “Crow,” whose identity is shrouded in secrecy, Lin Qiye is forced onto a path to survival riddled with thorns and betrayal. In this wasteland of the apocalypse, where gods run rampant and order has crumbled, he must learn to wield the power to “Slay,” powerful enough to sever fate, uncover the ultimate secret of his bloodline, and find the legendary “Starfall Coffin,” said to be capable of turning everything around. Yet as he draws closer to the truth, he discovers that the greatest enemy may not be the indescribable ancient beings, but the greed and madness lurking in the deepest reaches of human nature... “If fate has decreed our destruction, then I'll carve a path to survival with the blade in my hand!” This is a story of hope born from despair, of a blade raised against the gods at the edge of destruction. If the gods are destined to bring destruction, then I will become a godslayer!
