Chapter 3

*Whoosh!*

As Lin Ye chose the rewards, he instantly felt all kinds of knowledge appearing in his mind! At the same time, a warm current surged into his body, and he could feel that he had mastered an invisible power!

"Magical energy! This is magical energy!"

Lin Ye looked at his hands excitedly, but his expression slumped the next second.

"Too bad, I only know insect magic for now. This stuff is really not aesthetically pleasing to use."

Learning insect magic was actually fine; at least Lin Ye didn't have to keep those disgusting bugs inside his body. He now had E-rank magical energy. Although he didn't know any imaginary magic yet, opening a small imaginary space was no problem.

"I'll just raise some bugs here. Even if I can't form a sea of insects like Matou Zouken, it's still useful for surveillance and gathering information."

Thinking of this, Lin Ye stopped complaining. It was free, so why not take it? Besides, what's wrong with bugs? Bugs have never been defeated! In the future, when he develops them, maybe he'll be an entire insect race by himself!

The Holy Grail War! Who doesn't know that the most important thing in Type-Moon is the Holy Grail War! Especially since he was in Fuyuki City; if he didn't get strong quickly, he might accidentally be burned to death by the fire caused by the All the World's Evils released by Gilgamesh!

Of course, Lin Ye could fly far away now and find a place to live a peaceful life, but he wasn't satisfied. He had finally transmigrated and even had a cheat; how could he be willing to continue living as an ordinary person?

Thinking of this, Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, sensing that Lin Ye had accepted the rewards, the system's voice rang out again.

[Detected that the Master has successfully changed one character's fate. Would the Master like to continue simulating this character to improve the score, or start a new target character?]

Hmm? Continue simulating? Start a new target?

Listening to the system's voice, Lin Ye couldn't help but think. Matou Sakura—oh, wait, Tohsaka Sakura—was a treasure; it would be a pity to just give up on her.

But there were so many other characters: Jeanne, the King, Nero, Mash...

Thinking of this, Lin Ye immediately asked:

"System, if I simulate a new character, can I still simulate Sakura in the future?"

[Yes.]

"That's fine then. Start a new target."

[Yes, Master.]

As soon as the system's voice fell, Lin Ye saw a transparent light panel appear before him.

[Name: Lin Ye

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Simulation Targets:

Tohsaka Sakura (Matou Sakura), Highest Score: E

Artoria Pendragon, Highest Score: None]

"Artoria Pendragon! The King!"

Seeing this name, Lin Ye's eyes lit up instantly!

"Your fingertips... *cough cough!* Where the King's sword points, we shall be invincible!"

The King! Who who has watched Fate doesn't know the King! One of the four great ladies of Type-Moon, the most popular character in Type-Moon, someone who can fight a Holy Grail War alone while also being the referee and the villain boss! Simulating such a King, wouldn't he win big?

A target character can be simulated once a day. Lin Ye checked the time and hurriedly said to the system:

"What are we waiting for? Start the simulation!"

[Yes, Master. Simulation starting... Life loading...]

[Location: Great Britain - Ancient London

Identity: Foreign Wanderer

Loading...]

"What!"

Looking at the information before him, Lin Ye was stunned!

"Why is it Great Britain! Damn!"

Lin Ye had originally thought he would be simulating the King from Fate/Zero; he had even made a plan in his mind. But this? Isn't this a trap?

Great Britain—seeing this name, Lin Ye understood he was simulating King Arthur during the Great Britain era. Lin Ye naturally knew the story of King Arthur, but the problem was, he only knew the general outline; he really didn't know the specific details.

Moreover, this was the Type-Moon world. Type-Moon history and legends had significant differences, which made it even harder for Lin Ye.

"What's there to fear? It's just a simulation anyway; treat it like playing a game."

Lin Ye comforted himself. He wouldn't die if he died in the simulation, so what was he afraid of?

"Then! Start simulation!"

Meanwhile, in Great Britain, Ancient London...

London was exceptionally lively today because the annual knighthood ceremony was being held.

The snow on the tournament grounds had been cleared, and the grass was trimmed very short, looking lovely and green against the white snow. However, none of the knights present were in the mood to appreciate such scenery; their minds were all lost in the fantasies of what was to come.

Amidst a sea of flying flowers and the sound of brass horns blown by the masters of ceremony, they would wear bright armor, hold their longswords high, and welcome everyone's cheers!

Just as these people were all lost in their fantasies, a young voice broke their illusion!

"Oh my god! Oh no! I forgot to bring my sword!" a young knight shouted.

"What!" Beside him, the knight's father, Sir Ector, exclaimed, "You still have time! Hurry back and get it!"

A knight going to the battlefield without a sword—how is that any different from a chef going to the kitchen without a cleaver!

Looking at his nervous father, young Kay said embarrassedly, "This... it's okay, Father. Isn't Artoria here? Artoria, sorry to trouble you, but please help me go get the sword, otherwise your dear brother will have to go up empty-handed."

Hearing Kay's words, an incredibly delicate "boy" dressed in men's clothing looked at him helplessly. This brother of hers was truly a headache; he was always so unreliable at critical moments. However, she still said respectfully, "Understood, Brother." She then turned and ran toward the inn, facing the crowd.

The King, Artoria, online!

(Ancient London is taken from the Arthurian legend "The Once and Future King," the site where King Arthur pulled the sword in reality. As for Camelot, it did not exist in real history, but the Type-Moon Garden of Avalon states that Camelot was a fortress city King Arthur recaptured and then turned into Camelot. Simply put, Camelot hasn't been built yet, so the location I'm using here refers to reality.)
