“Hiss…
Why does my head hurt so much?”
Feeling the waves of intense pain coming from inside his head, Norville shook his head subconsciously, as if that would make his brain, which felt like it had been subjected to electroshock therapy, feel a bit better.
Hmm, don’t ask Norville how he knows that this feels similar to electroshock therapy.
It’s a long story full of tears.
After a while, Norville slowly opened his eyes and remembered why he had collapsed on this table.
“Heh, Fuyuki…
you really are the ‘peaceful’ Fuyuki where gas tanks explode with a small blast every three days and a big one every other day.”
Norville—what his name was in his previous life didn’t matter anymore; the important thing was that this life had the classic opening of a light novel protagonist.
Parents dead, owns a car and a house.
Although it was a bit regrettable that he didn’t have a younger sister, it could be said to be a perfectly flawless start, so much so that Norville started lying flat early on.
The place he lived in was Fuyuki.
At first, when Norville heard the name Fuyuki, he just felt it sounded a bit familiar and didn’t pay much attention.
After all, it was normal for place names in this life’s Japan to overlap with his previous life’s, right?
It wasn’t until he transferred to Homuhara Academy that he realized something seemed off.
On his first day of transferring, under the banner of a certain helpful redhead saying, “Norville-kun, you must be unfamiliar with the school on your first day, please let me show you around,” Norville roughly understood the basic situation of the school, and his hanging heart finally died.
Right?
Helpful Emiya-kun.
He had thought he had been given the script for an unremarkable slice-of-life protagonist in this life, but he didn’t expect that while it was unremarkable, whose daily life involved various gas tank explosions?
No, I have to run.
I absolutely must run.
Norville immediately took his phone out of his pocket and started checking for recent tickets to leave Fuyuki, but as he looked, his brows furrowed.
Ryougi City?
No, who knows if there are still Dead Apostles there now?
If he were accidentally dragged into a struggle on the mystery side, that would be like turning on a light in a toilet—purely looking for death.
After all, the world of the mystery side is full of unknowns and dangers; a momentary lapse could cost him his life.
Therefore, for his own safety, it is better to stay far away from that place.
Who could have imagined before that a tiny Ryougi City in the Far East could produce a Rainbow-class Mystic Eye, and one that could be called a bug-level Mystic Eye of Death Perception at that.
Just as Norville was choosing his future destination, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand.
“Hiss, are there mosquitoes in this weather too?”
He immediately turned the back of his hand over and was stunned to see a circular red circuit tattooed on it like a tattoo.
No way, Holy Grail, don’t mess with me.
I don’t even have Magic Circuits, why are you giving me a Command Spell?
To charge in and make up the numbers?
I’m fighting in the Holy Grail War?
Is this for real?
[Ding, magical energy fluctuations detected.
Legend Simulator activated.]
What was that sound?
Could this be the legendary golden finger?
So it turns out the reason the simulator hadn’t activated before was because he lacked magical energy, and now that it’s been stimulated by the Command Spell, it’s appeared.
Realizing this, Norville was overjoyed; after all, this golden finger didn’t look simple at all.
Suppressing his excitement, Norville carefully examined the Legend Simulator, and after some fiddling, he figured out its basic functions.
Legend Simulator, as the name suggests, allows one to step into a piece of real history to perform life deduction simulations, similar to the Spiritron Transfer system in Chaldea, but the difference is that this simulator operates within human history.
It won’t become some kind of Lostbelt; after the simulation ends, if the simulation has a huge impact on later generations, it can even leave a projection unique to that simulation on the Throne of Heroes outside the world.
Holy Grail War?
I, Norville, am fighting in the Holy Grail War.
Fuyuki is a big stage, come if you dare.
“Start, start, start the simulator immediately!”
After understanding the simulator, Norville couldn’t wait to start the simulation; after all, anyone who knows, knows the danger of the Holy Grail War.
Ahead, there is the Magus Killer Emiya Kiritsugu.
Behind, there is the tax-evading duo.
[Legend Simulator loading complete.]
[Era anchor: Unknown.]
[Random talent determined.]
[Talent: Really Want to Eat Something.
For some reason, your appetite is far greater than others, but at the same time, the food you consume will be converted into magical energy for yourself.]
Whoa, this talent is interesting.
Can I increase my magical energy just by eating?
But why does Norville feel a bit familiar with this talent?
Artoria Pendragon:?
[Start life simulation?]
Looking at these words, Norville took a deep breath and decisively started the simulation.
Whether this bird gun can be upgraded to a cannon depends on this one time.
[Searching for anchor…]
[Search successful, loading…]
[Current era: Ancient Mesopotamia]
Norville couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw these words.
“Stable, stable!
Ancient Mesopotamia, hahahaha.”
