Beyond the Horizon ( Kyōkai No Kanata)
Updated at Oct 7, 2026, 06:39
In the neon-soaked, gothic spire-city of Oakhaven, human worth is not earned-it is quantified.The System measures all: Mana capacity, combat affinity, and soul potential. To hold high numbers is to rule; to sit at the bottom is to be discarded.When Shinto, second son of the prestigious Shinzen Clan, was born, the holographic interface glitched. It output no grand class, no celestial mana reserves, and no growth multipliers.RANK: NULL. LEVEL 1. MANA: 0 / 0.In a world dependent on System-assisted auto-aim, magical shields, and numerical superiority, Shinto is a true baseline zero-a defective anomaly unable to receive a single stat buff.Cast aside by his family and left with nothing but his grandfather's brutal, old-world discipline, Shinto learns a truth the world forgot: When you rely on a System to guide your blade, you become predictable.No cheats. No hidden overpowered inheritances. Just blood, leverage, and cold, uncompromising pragmatism.While the prodigies of Oakhaven hone their magic, Shinto trains his flesh to break their barriers, out-think their algorithms, and bleed them dry. Because in a matrix governed by absolute rules, the one thing the System cannot calculate... is a boy with nothing left to lose.
