“A man of wisdom is slow to anger, and it is his honor to overlook an offense.”
“So, whenever you have some free time, you should go out more often.
I recommend traveling around Europe to see different scenery.
Of course, you could also visit China.
The culture there is vastly different, which would give you even more experiences.”
“As your horizons expand and you see and learn more, your way of thinking will change.
You will learn to forgive the sins of others, and, of course, you can also learn to forgive your own.
The mistakes you may have made when you were young—you can forgive those as well, can’t you?
That, too, is an honor you grant yourself.”
Closing the book in his hands, the young priest smiled warmly at the people seated below, listening to his sermon.
“Ladies and gentlemen, that will be all for today.
You should head home soon.”
“Thank you very much, Pastor Amakusa.”
“Thank you, Pastor.”
“You’re very welcome.”
The young priest returned their words of thanks with the same warm smile.
Under his watchful gaze, the elderly people who had come to the church began getting up and leaving one by one, until only an old, white-haired grandfather remained.
“Mr.
Stan Lee.”
The young priest looked somewhat helplessly at the old man, who did not respond to his call.
He walked over to the old man’s seat and gently pushed his shoulder to wake him.
“Oh!
Yes, I’m awake!”
The old man jolted awake and answered hurriedly.
After seeing that there was no one else around and that only the young priest stood before him, he immediately laughed.
“Oh, Pastor Amakusa, I’m terribly sorry.
I fell asleep again.
You should know, I was drinking late into the night with several beautiful women at a bar.
By the time I got home, it was already two in the morning, and I was incredibly sleepy.
So when I came here this morning, I accidentally dozed off.”
Although he intended it as an explanation, there was not the slightest trace of guilt on his face.
The young priest naturally did not blame him.
He merely smiled gently.
“It’s all right, Mr.
Stan Lee.
You’re already advanced in age, so please take care of your health.
You should try to cut back on staying out late at bars.
Now, hurry home and get some rest.”
“Thank you for your concern, Pastor Amakusa.
I’ll try to restrain myself, but invitations from beautiful women are truly difficult for me to refuse, hahahaha~~”
After saying that, the old man stood up and left the small church.
The entire church was now occupied by the young priest alone.
Looking at the empty church, the young priest nodded in satisfaction.
“With that, this month’s quota is finally complete.”
He raised his right hand and swiped through the air.
A glowing screen appeared before him.
The screen displayed the number 30, which was the reason for his satisfaction.
“Senpai, I’m back.”
The church door was pushed open.
A cute girl with short pink hair entered from outside, clutching a brown paper bag filled with bread and ham.
“Thanks for your hard work, Mash.”
The pastor smiled gently at the girl.
“Come on, hurry inside.”
The girl closed the church door, then scampered over to the pastor’s side and flashed him a sweet smile as she looked toward the glowing screen.
“Senpai, you finally managed to collect 30 Saint Quartz?
With this, we can do another summoning.”
“Yes.
I can finally do another summoning.”
Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, the owner of this small church, was a young priest who had come from another world.
In his previous world, he had been an FGO player—and an African, the term used for players who were extremely unlucky.
Had he ever experienced the agony of topping up twice without getting even a single four-star Servant?
Yes.
He certainly had.
After mysteriously transmigrating to another world, he obtained a system remarkably similar to the game he had played before his transmigration, turning him into a transmigrator with a cheat.
The system’s beginner reward was one free 10x gacha, featuring a five-star Servant with an UP rate.
Thus, after transmigrating, he had finally managed to “headbutt his way onto another continent” and become a European, a lucky player—obtaining a five-star Ruler-class Servant: Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.
The first AoE Ruler Noble Phantasm!
A Three-Buster Ruler!
Powerful!
Unmatched!
He had never even seen this five-star Servant on his friend support list.
He had only ever heard about how powerful this Servant was, and now he had managed to pull him in his very first 10x gacha.
Naturally, overjoyed, he immediately set Amakusa Shirou as his Favorite Servant.
After all, this was his first five-star—of course he had to make him his favorite!
However, the moment he pressed the Favorite button, he suddenly transformed into Amakusa Shirou himself.
He was then transported to this world, given a small church, and even received his Kouhai (junior) as his assistant.
Amakusa felt that this transmigration had truly been an incredible stroke of luck!
This was Mash, his only four-star Servant aside from Servants obtained from events.
And so, his life after transmigration began—a life of managing a small church together with Mash.
However, it did not take long for Amakusa to realize that something was abnormal about this world.
He was in New York, yet the news was talking about a weapons conglomerate called Stark Industries, whose boss was named Tony Stark.
Then, in the neighborhood around his church, there lived an old man named Stan Lee.
This was clearly no ordinary world.
This was definitely the Marvel Universe!
And what was more, it was still set before Iron Man appeared.
At first, he had only wanted to become a handsome young priest with a magnetic voice, but Amakusa was forced to start thinking about how to become stronger.
There was no other choice.
This world was terrifying, no less dangerous than the Type-Moon world.
Therefore, he had to become strong.
Fortunately, he was a transmigrator with a cheat.
By making use of his cheat, he would definitely be able to become stronger.
Since the cheat could not be recharged with money, he embarked on the f2p (free-to-play) path.
Checking in every day, completing the weekly missions assigned by the system, and collecting Saint Quartz.
Today, he had finally managed to gather his first thirty Quartz for his first 10x gacha.
“Mash, hurry and get ready.
We’re about to begin the summoning.”
“Yes, Senpai.”
A gigantic shield suddenly appeared in Mash’s hands—the Round Table of King Arthur had manifested!
Placing the shield on the ground, Amakusa stood beside it.
He tapped the screen several times, and thirty shimmering, multicolored crystals appeared in his hand.
“Please begin, Senpai.”
Mash stood beside Amakusa, watching him with eager anticipation as she prepared to witness his performance.
As a European who had already escaped the clutches of bad luck, Amakusa could be said to be extremely confident.
For this, his second 10x gacha since transmigrating, he was certain that he would get the card he wanted!
Opening his hand, the thirty Saint Quartz fell onto the shield and emitted a dazzling light.
Once the light faded, several objects suddenly appeared within their field of vision.
Each of the objects looked extremely sharp, with gleaming white blades paired with black handles, possessing the distinctive appearance of something ordinary yet extraordinarily capable.
Every single one looked exactly the same, and there were nine of them!
The dark skin on Amakusa’s face seemed to grow even darker.
Because this reminded him of the days when he had still been an African.
These were the items he had obtained the most back then.
In fact, even in his very first 10x gacha after transmigrating, he had gotten nine of them.
The name of those objects was—Black Key!
