I Sign In, You Bow Down

╠ Sector E ╣

_The Silent Order Academy, Base 12_

The Silent Order Academy is one of the most powerful academies in Sector E of the world of Duskmoor. This academy has several branches.

Among them, Base 12 is the weakest. Its legacy had already begun to fade, leaving behind only one teacher and a single student.

"Emrys, I, your teacher, will go down first. This Base 12 is entrusted to you. By all means, do not let the Base 12's lineage be cut off in your generation! Otherwise, even if you go down to hell, I will not spare you!"

On a quiet and beautiful mountain peak, a frail white-haired old man spoke in a trembling voice. This man was none other than Jace Leventhor, the current Dean of Base 12.

His body was weak and his eyes were dim. His life was nearing its end, he was surviving on little more than his final breath.

Standing before him was a young man. This young man was incredibly handsome and had an extraordinary aura that set him apart from ordinary people.

"Teacher, I'm just an ordinary person. Yes, I admit I'm incredibly handsome, but I have no real skills. Could you maybe..."

Emrys stammered with panic in his eyes.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Jace drew his last breath and the light faded from his eyes.

"Damn it... this old man's a fraud! He dragged me into this wretched Base 12 for a day and then died! Now he expects me to protect Base 12?" Emrys cursed loudly, with resentment twisting his face.

Emrys Solstice had once been an otaku gamer back on Earth, spending countless hours immersed in virtual worlds. One fateful night, while rushing to catch a late train after a long day of work, he slipped on a wet platform and fell onto the tracks.

Before he could react, a speeding train struck him.

But instead of darkness or oblivion, Emrys awoke in a strange new world. This world was the mystical land of Duskmoor.

He was confused but alive, and very soon, he realized that this was no ordinary world.

Duskmoor is huge.

Huge means really huge, at least a hundred times larger than Earth. It's a fantasy world where people cultivate to become stronger, but technology is not behind. Technology and science are also on the rise in this world.

Although cultivation is possible here, Duskmoor is completely different from any cultivation novel Emrys had read before. This world has both elements of cultivation and urban fantasy novels.

Anyways, this world, Duskmoor, is divided into many sectors. Each sector is larger than any country back on the Earth.

When Emrys woke up, he found himself in the body of an exceptionally handsome young man with the same name. Unfortunately, he didn't obtain any memory of his predecessor.

For a whole month, he wandered around here and there, gathering all the information about this world he could. In the meantime, he stole, begged, and took a few low-class actions to satisfy his daily needs.

After a whole month, he happened to encounter the Dean of Base 12 of the Silent Order Academy.

The dean confidently told Emrys that he had the potential of a War Sovereign and would definitely become an unparalleled figure in the future, so he wanted to nurture Emrys well.

After a series of coaxing by the Base 12 Dean, Emrys was brought to Base 12.

Unexpectedly, after testing, he turned out to be a useless mortal that could not cultivate at all.

Protect Base 12?

How?

Emrys felt a burst of frustration in his heart.

The Silent Order Academy had a strict rule: if any branch had fewer than two members and failed to recruit a student within a month, that branch would be disbanded.

If Emrys wanted to protect Base 12, he had to find and recruit at least one more student. But the problem is that Emrys is just an ordinary person.

To make matters worse, Base 12 was located atop a remote mountain. For a powerless mortal like Emrys, even leaving the mountain was a challenge, let alone venturing out to recruit someone.

As if that wasn't enough, Base 12 was dirt poor. Its once-glorious heritage had withered away, leaving behind only an empty mountain with no resources at all.

Recruiting new students?

At this point, even a stray dog wouldn't bother to visit.

'Old man, oh old man, you're really a fraud!'

'You told me that you would nurture me, but you died the next day you brought me here.'

Emrys only felt a headache. Now he could only lie flat and wait to be expelled from the academy.

As for protecting Base 12, he really doesn't have the ability.

【Ding! Detecting that the host is alone, helpless, and has a strong desire to lie flat!】

【Activating the Strongest Sign-in System!】

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in Emrys's mind.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

That voice… Could it be?

"A system?!"

In an instant, Emrys’s mood shot up from rock bottom to the skies.

"It truly is a system. Oh my god. It’s finally time to rise!"

Emrys grinned like a madman. "I knew it! How could someone as handsome as me transmigrate without getting a golden finger?"

With the Dean gone, he had no way of protecting this Base 12. But now that the system had arrived, there was no need for him to worry or overthink.

【Ding, the Strongest Sign-in System activated successfully!】

【The Strongest Sign-in System aims to help the host become the strongest person in the universe!】

【The Sign-In function has been unlocked. You can sign in once per day, and each sign-in grants valuable rewards.】

【Sign-in available. Would you like to sign in now?】

"Sign-in function?" Emrys’s eyes lit up.

This was perfect!

There were no weird conditions and no strange tasks. All he has to do is just simple sign-ins. This was exactly the kind of system he liked the most.

"System, sign in," Emrys said silently in his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first sign-in.】

【Reward: War Lord Realm cultivation!】
