Check-in System

Tianshan.

The frigid winds high in the sky sharpened the peaks, making each mountain range like a blade pointed straight at the dustless heavens.

The ground was covered in frost and snow that never melted all year round. From afar, everything was a vast expanse of white.

Between Yun Peak and Miao Peak lay a great rift known as the "White Scar."

"Waa... waa!"

Suddenly, the cry of a human infant rang out within the silent rift.

At the source of the sound, an ice-blue golden light shot into the sky.

In an instant, the rift erupted into violent turmoil.

Centered on the infant, ice-blue streams of light bloomed. Snow condensed into solid masses, cold air froze into frost, and the rift instantly became a world of ice.

"Crack, crack~"

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The frozen ground beneath shattered. Amid deep, rumbling roars, some kind of energy seemed to surge forth, pure white in color.

Ice-blue radiance and white radiance.

The two lights gradually merged into one, as though echoing one another, growing ever more dazzling.

No one knew how much time passed.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a demonic beast's roar rang out.

From the darkness at a corner of the rift stepped a massive demonic forelimb, covered in thick white fur.

The demonic beast slowly emerged. It was a White Amber Sky Scar White Tiger.

Its entire body was crystal-clear, its fur thick and elegant. Its pointed ears resembled leafy horns, and a pair of domineering crescent tiger markings adorned its forehead.

Watching the rift descend into an energy frenzy due to the fusion of the lights, the Sky Scar White Tiger shifted its gaze toward the core of that radiance.

A human infant immediately entered its sight.

The Sky Scar White Tiger fell silent for a moment, then stepped forward, picked up the human infant in its mouth, and sprinted toward a certain direction within Tianshan.

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

After running for some time, the Sky Scar White Tiger was already close to the human activity zone.

It released the infant from its mouth and tossed him onto the ground, then returned to the depths of Tianshan without looking back.

Not long after.

"Step, step, step..."

Footsteps sounded across the soft snow as a cool and aloof girl of around ten years old approached.

She looked at the human infant on the ground with confusion. After thinking for a moment, she picked him up and held him in her arms before turning to leave.

Fifteen years later.

At the southern foothills of Tianshan, Pan Town.

As the closest human settlement to Tianshan, it hosted not only all kinds of Black Market dealings every day, but also many young mages who formed teams to train.

At the edge of Pan Town stood a cluster of houses. This was the residential area for Tianshan's native inhabitants.

"Crunch!"

A youth leaned against a door, holding a fruit in his hand and chewing it with a crisp crunch.

The youth was exceedingly handsome. His only flaw was the lingering immaturity beneath his cool and aloof temperament, but that immaturity would fade as he grew older.

One could imagine just how dashing and handsome he would become once he reached adulthood and shed his youthful greenness.

"Time really flies."

"Before I knew it, I'd been in the world of Full-Time Mage for nearly sixteen years."

Qin Yuan sighed.

That was right. He was not native to this world, but a transmigrator.

Moreover, he was the sort who had undergone rejuvenation in a fantasy novel before transmigrating into a fetus.

The world of Full-Time Mage was almost identical to the Azure Planet where he had lived before.

The only difference was that this world had many things derived from "magic," such as Awakening, mages, demonic beasts, and so on.

With magic empowering the world, the strong reigned supreme, and the law of the jungle stood out all the more starkly.

Talent too great brought calamity.

Average talent made one mediocre.

Talent too weak meant a cannon fodder's fate.

That was the truest portrayal of the world of Full-Time Mage.

Without absolute strength or background, one simply could not control one's own fate.

"This really is difficult. Talent being too strong or too weak isn't a good thing. The Holy City... using public power for private gain."

Qin Yuan secretly shook his head.

As the number one force among mages, the Holy City's great achievements could not be denied. Yet as time passed, it had drifted somewhat from its original ideals.

It was true that it considered humanity, but it was equally true that it sought private gain for itself.

Perhaps it was an issue with the original novel's perspective, but in any case, Qin Yuan disliked this faction. Those angels were far too fond of infighting.

They did not actively deal with the Calamity of Demons and Devils, yet spent every day obsessing over Calamity. It was honestly ridiculous.

If he got the chance, Qin Yuan would definitely temper the Holy City and turn it into a proper blade in humanity's hands.

However, he was still a nobody who had not even undergone Magic Awakening, so he should not think that far ahead.

"This isn't a soul transmigration or Body Seizure, but transmigration into a fetus. I wonder whether I can awaken magic?"

Qin Yuan could not help feeling worried.

There were ordinary people in the world of Full-Time Mage, but mages were ultimately the mainstream.

Without magic, how was he supposed to establish himself?

By relying on his Pure Yang Physique, which feared no cold and brimmed with vitality?

Give him a break. He was not a succubus, nor did he possess the dual-cultivation techniques from fantasy novels. No matter how good the Pure Yang Physique was, it could only let him live off a woman.

He, Qin Mouren, had iron bones and an unyielding spirit. Not just any soft meal suited his taste.

"Ah, I wonder if there's some kind of system cheat."

Qin Yuan took two or three bites to finish the fruit in his hand and silently thought to himself.

As a transmigrator, without a cheat to assist him, he would most likely only become an observer, a chess piece to be manipulated by others.

Especially in the world of Full-Time Mage, who knew whether he might be captured by the Black Vatican and refined into a hideous, terrifying Black Beast Demon?

``` [ Ding, detecting that the host is about to undergo Magic Awakening. The Check-in System is now officially activated. ]

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded in his mind.

Qin Yuan's heart trembled. Shock filled his face, and he could not help blurting out, "Holy shit!"

"System?"

[ Host, I am here. ]

The cold female voice echoed in his mind, pulling Qin Yuan out of his stunned state.

"Transmigration novels truly never deceive me. Sure enough, every transmigrator comes with a cheat."

"This great fortune has finally fallen to me, Qin Mouren."

Qin Yuan laughed heartily. The gloom in his heart was instantly swept away, leaving behind only excitement.

After showing off for a while, Qin Yuan calmed himself and asked, "System, tell me what you can do."

"Will I be invincible from the start and sweep through everything, or will you give me a Heavenly Background?"

As a novice wish-fulfillment webnovel author in his previous life, Qin Yuan had a firm grasp on all kinds of wish-fulfillment stories.

Although he also liked watching geniuses grow, if he could Ascend to Heaven in One Step with ease, why would he need to progress step by step?

Lying flat was comfortable. Lying flat while rich and powerful was even more comfortable.

As Qin Yuan indulged in his fantasies, the system's voice slowly came.

[ Host, this system is called the Check-in System. ]

[ As long as the host persists in checking in every day, you can receive rewards from the Myriad Worlds. The richness of the rewards depends on the continuity of your check-ins. ]

[ In addition, this system includes annual, seasonal, monthly, and Weekly Check-in rewards, as well as Mission Check-in, Location Check-in, and more. The rewards are even more generous. ]

"Understood."

Qin Yuan nodded. It was just like when he wrote in his previous life: checking in to receive the full-attendance bonus.

Only now, check-ins had become reality.

Although it was not Ascend to Heaven in One Step, this was still pretty good. As long as he checked in, he would receive rewards. It was not difficult.
