Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!

[Simulation achieved A+ rating]

[Your simulation has reached a special evaluation level; congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the preset slot. The preset slot can be used in conjunction with your fixed skill slot to better assist you in simulations.]

"Preset slot? What is that?"

Moran frowned, curious.

He originally thought there would be no rewards for this simulation.

In the simulator, he currently only knew about the fixed skill slot and the skill pool for skill draws.

Presumably, the preset slot was a new mechanism.

[The function of the preset slot is that after the host has fixed the selected abilities, if there are still skills they wish to retain, the preset slot can be used in this situation.]

[It can store skills for the host, and retrieve them instantly when the host wants to change the fixed skills.]

"This…!"

Moran immediately understood the meaning.

After he completed the skill selection the previous few times, the unselected skills were always thrown back into the skill pool.

Now, there was no need to throw them back.

He could directly put the skills into the preset slot!

If he hadn't fixed any skills that day, Moran could also choose not to simulate and directly use the abilities in the preset slot to change skills.

It could also be used this way in battle.

"Is there a limit to the number of preset slots?"

Moran immediately asked the simulator.

The result, of course, wasn't as good as he had imagined.

It was impossible not to have a limit.

[The number of preset slots is fixed at three; each time the host obtains an Ex-level evaluation in a simulation, one slot will be added.]

[Please work hard, host.]

"As expected, I knew things wouldn't be that good, but three preset slots are still pretty good."

Moran sighed helplessly.

Then, he entered the skill draw page.

[Skills learned in this simulation: Golden Magic Sword, Our Epic Will Endure Here, Others' Seal. Blood God's Temple, Forced Seal. Myriad Demons' Temple, Apostle of God, Blessing of the Agricultural God….]

The number of skills learned in the second playthrough was much smaller.

The reason for this wasn't anything else.

Most of the skills in his second playthrough overlapped with the first, so overall, he learned fewer new abilities.

However, many of the skills in the skill pool had leveled up.

This was the benefit of repeatedly farming the same instance.

The memories and experiences constantly accumulated in the simulation would become the pillars for skills to increase in level.

[Golden Magic Sword (EX), Petrifying Magic Eye (A++), Battle Continuation (EX), Godslayer (B), Mind's Eye. True (B), Charisma (A+), Unyielding Determination (A)]

[Please select three skills to fix.]

After thinking for a moment, Moran made his choice.

His index finger quickly clicked on the screen.

[Unyielding Determination (A): Even when facing the pressure of the gods, you have not yielded in any way, and have cycled through life and death countless times. Abilities based on aura, such as pressure and killing intent below A-rank, will not be effective against you, and your endurance and resilience will be greatly enhanced. The more treacherous the situation, the higher your overall attributes will become.]

[Petrifying Magic Eye (A++): Anything captured by your gaze will fall into petrification; the effect depends on the enemy's attributes.]

[Golden Magic Sword (EX): Manifests from your blood, a Myriad Demons' Authority entirely composed of blood. It can unleash slashes with monster characteristics, and can also impart these characteristics to any target through slashes. You are the Father of All Demons; no demon can be your enemy. They are your most loyal offspring.]

[Selection complete.]

[The above three skills have been placed in the preset slot for storage. The simulation and fixed skill chances will be reset and refreshed at 9 PM tomorrow.]

[The simulator is entering a cooldown state.]

[Cooldown time: 23 hours and 59 minutes.]

"Yeah, that's fine."

Moran didn't directly fix the three skills.

He chose to throw them into the preset slot.

Although he could also directly choose to change skills, he felt that there was no need to change his current fixed skills.

The Golden Magic Sword was very powerful.

It seemed to be an upgrade to the Demonic Bloodline.

But in reality, while the Demonic Bloodline had the ability to enhance physical strength, it didn't possess it at all.

If there was no way to guarantee the strength of the body.

Then it was just a glass cannon.

"This skill…"

Moran's gaze turned to the fixed skill slot.

He noticed a change in one of the skills.

[Love of the Moon Goddess (A+): Being loved by a god grants you luck far beyond others. Curses, charms, mental control, and other abilities of A-rank and below will not affect you. The Moon God offers everything just to be with you; she stood up to face the invincible Great God Zeus. You possess the highest level of anti-god defense.]

Goddess's Favor sublimated into Love of the Moon Goddess.

Resistance was almost maxed out.

"Artemis…"

However, Moran couldn't be happy.

The figure of Artemis appeared in his mind, as well as her willful appearance of abandoning her responsibilities as a Machine God at the end.

A hint of bitterness emerged in his chest.

But it was quickly drowned out by raging fire.

"Hoo…"

Moran deeply exhaled.

Emotion transformed into the motivation to yearn for the next simulation.

He still had a chance to redeem the regrets.

He only needed to wait a little longer, until 9 PM tomorrow, to be able to enter the simulation again.

Recalling the bits and pieces experienced in the second playthrough.

He failed, and he did indeed fall.

But this was far from a reason to stop Moran from yearning for happiness; as long as there was a chance, he would keep trying.

Just like when facing the Great God Zeus.

He wouldn't hesitate to repeat life and death countless times.

The next day, at the El-Melloi residence.

Moran wouldn't forget the bet he made the other day.

Carrying the camera containing Kayneth's declaration of surrender, he arrived at the residence where Kayneth lived.

Faced with the bet he had made.

Kayneth, as he had shown in the self-defense class, didn't break his promise and genuinely handed over the three-base magic furnace.

His spirit was admirable.

"This is the three-base magic furnace…"

Moran looked at the magic furnace that had been moved into the room.

He marveled as he observed it.

Even he, with knowledge of the Age of Gods magic, found it amazing.

Although modern magic was declining, this magic furnace was a decent Mystic Code even in the Age of Gods.

Ultimately, its materials were too noble.

The Albion Dragon of the Boundary.

It was the crown-ranked dragon at the pinnacle of all dragon species, the strongest dragon species with the same age as the Earth.

"Not bad, although it's barely enough for me in terms of efficiency, it's almost inexhaustible for ordinary mages. Moreover, this magic source will constantly recover automatically…"

Moran moved his hand away from the magic furnace.

He had already analyzed the composition of this magic furnace.

If he had materials similar to Albion, he could also use his knowledge of the Age of Gods to create a magic furnace with similar effects.

"It's a pity that even the strongest Phantasmal Species can't survive the replacement and coverage of the world's rules…"

Moran knew the final fate of Albion.

The ultimate Phantasmal Species, hailed as the strongest dragon, died of exhaustion.

It was hard to believe.

At the end of the Age of Gods' decline, it wanted to reach the Inner Sea of the Stars by physical means, digging all the way from the surface to the underground.

As a result, it died of exhaustion underground, just one step away.

It was truly amusing.

"However, the research on the magic furnace is almost done. Next, let me see how Kayneth's intelligence work is."

Moran got up and stretched.

He had heard early on that Kayneth intended to participate in the Holy Grail War.

So, he would definitely do some preparatory work.

Currently, Moran's knowledge of the Moon World was limited, making it impossible to accurately judge this False Holy Grail War.

After all, the Fourth Holy Grail War didn't happen in this world.

The False Holy Grail War, which originally took place after the Fifth Holy Grail War, had now replaced the Fourth Holy Grail War.

He couldn't rely on the original information.

Moran didn't know what changes there were in this world line, so he had to actively gather information.

Therefore, he chose the best source of information.

That was Kayneth, who was about to participate in the Holy Grail War.

In a certain room inside the El-Melloi residence.

Moran found the place where the information was stored without any effort, and there were no obstacles along the way.

"This is probably… the so-called goddess's blessing…"

Moran thought of the skill Love of the Moon Goddess.

This skill greatly increased his luck level.

Even if a spell to defend against enemies was activated against Moran, it would malfunction and stop the moment it was activated.

This spell was personally set up by Kayneth.

A mortal without any luck enhancement.

Against someone with luck enhancement.

The result was basically this very tragic, the kind where you would choke even when drinking water.

"Hoo…"

Moran held a stack of reports in his hand.

It recorded the people who were likely to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The Kuruoka couple, Orlando, Barthomelo…

The above three mages were recorded by Kayneth, who confirmed the information through his own connections and intelligence network.

Seeing the appearance of these three.

Moran felt that the situation was still pretty good.

At least the personnel changes in this False Holy Grail War weren't serious, and the original characters were still there.

But, there was a mage's name.

That Moran couldn't easily ignore and skip.

"…Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Moran noticed the last report.

It detailed the life of this mage killer, as well as his active record on the battlefield.

Currently, he also seemed to be preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War.

"The Fourth Holy Grail didn't happen in this world, this man who desires world peace, as expected, won't give up on the Holy Grail…"

Moran couldn't help but joke after reading it.

Although he saw information about Emiya Kiritsugu, he felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.

There were about six months left until the Holy Grail War.

Kayneth's intelligence gathering was only about these few mages.

In reality, it was already very good.

Kayneth confirmed the most likely Masters to participate without knowing any information.

Every one of his predictions was accurate.

"However, there's even the Einzbern…"

Moran read the last stack of information.

Ever since the Greater Grail was seized and occupied by the United States.

The Einzbern had been trying to retrieve the Greater Grail, but for many years, they had returned without success.

Now, the Holy Grail War was about to be held.

The Einzbern family naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Interestingly, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't marry into the Einzbern, and even Kayneth hasn't investigated the specific details, only speculating that there was a problem within the Einzbern family."

Moran put the read information back into the cabinet.

He knew almost everything he needed to know.

He tentatively grasped the general pattern of the Holy Grail War.

It wasn't too different from what he had expected.

The selection of Masters participating at that time and the original False Holy Grail War would probably have some slight changes.

But, overall, there were no obstacles.

What was Moran's reason for wanting to participate in the Holy Grail War now?

In fact, this matter was very simple.

"I wonder if I summon a Servant, will I summon Atalanta and Medea, or will I summon Artemis or Medusa…"

Moran had a look of reminiscence on his face.

He knew that the experiences in the simulation were just Alternate Realities.

However, Alternate Realities could also achieve connection.

Even the Chaldea organization that saved humanity, their Masters could summon Alternate Reality Servants.

There was no reason why Moran couldn't do it.

He himself could be considered the greatest catalyst.

"However, if I want to be foolproof, I still have to achieve an Ex-level simulation rating, so that the Alternate Reality overwrites reality, and my and their deeds are engraved on the Boundary Recording Belt."

Moran's words were full of determination.

After exploring a circle of information, he returned to the starting point again.

That's right, he had to achieve a higher rating.

After dealing with the traces left in the El-Melloi residence, Moran returned to the dormitory with excited feelings.

A day passed, and night fell.

He only needed to wait for the hour hand to point to nine o'clock.

[Today's simulation count has been reset]

[The host can enter the simulator at any time to simulate]

The simulator's prompt echoed in his ears.

It was like a war horn being blown, guiding Moran to continue to explore and advance to the next battlefield.
