I had been in Shinto for years, and many things had happened during that time. Let me summarize.
I married Durga, and we are now a good husband and wife. Our bond is strong, and our happiness grew even more when I was appointed as one of the eight most revered generals, due to my extraordinary and unrivaled power.
One day, I implored the gods, "God, I wish my child with Durga would not share my bloodline. I wish this child was not truly mine, and I wish there was no blood relation between us." My wish was granted, and although I still had two wishes left, I decided to focus on enjoying my current life.
I began to feel a deep love for Durga, showing so much affection and tenderness. Every time we made love, I ensured that every moment was filled with warmth and pleasure. However, sometimes I would lose control and make love to her more intensely and passionately. Durga is a strong woman, and she was able to match the intensity of my passion. It turned out Durga liked this aggressive side of me. She wanted me to channel my rage into action to sexually satisfy her. This became our way to relieve tension and channel energy in our relationship.
After we built our family and had our daughter, Mithra, I began to use my rage to be a good father and husband. I channeled the full force of my aggressive love as a father and husband, ensuring that the needs of my wife and daughter were always prioritized. Everything else became a secondary priority.
Gohma? I learned "berserk stare," the ability to use my unbearable rage to annihilate them with just a gaze. They were instantly destroyed when my angry gaze reached them. This power was so immense that all the other generals were even reluctant to fight me because of how strong I was. I now lived as a loving and powerful husband, father, and general, channeling all my rage to protect and make my family happy.
I continued my mission to purge Gohma from the world, and this time Vritra appeared, letting out a deadly roar. I responded with such a powerful berserk scream that it staggered Vritra. My gaze locked directly onto Vritra, and with the concentrated power of my rage, I evaporated its existence into nothingness.
After that battle, I used my rage to heal the planet and calm it. We succeeded without any casualties, and I celebrated this victory with my family. However, I knew Deus would not stand idly by. I decided to immediately seek out Emperor Strada, who had previously been killed by Deus, and used my power to resurrect him.
"Who killed you?" I asked.
"Deus!" he replied curtly. I nodded, and suddenly Deus appeared with many guards. He was shocked to see Strada alive.
"What!" I moved with unimaginable speed and plunged my hand into his chest, grabbing his heart and crushing it, then tearing his body in half without mercy. Deus's guards recoiled in fear, realizing they wouldn't be able to face me. Even the eight generals wouldn't be able to match my power.
"DEUS SAMA!" Olga screamed as she attacked me, but I quickly grabbed her by the neck and twisted her head, killing her instantly with precision and accuracy.
"Are there any other demigods who dare to challenge me? COME FORWARD, I WILL MINCE YOU ALL!" I roared, and then I slaughtered all remaining demigods, leaving the world without a single living demigod. After that, I confronted Chakravartin and annihilated him into non-existence, with only pure, unbridled rage at his irresponsibility. After finishing off that literal Buddha, I returned home.
I decided to release Durga's divinity so we could live ordinary human lives with our daughter. Until it was our time to naturally leave this world.
However, before that, I went to the core of Gaea to find Vritra's core. I beat it senseless, then unleashed all the rage within me using the berserk cleanse technique to purge the world of its influence. Once finished, Gaea returned to its normal state, and I returned to my family with a heart full of happiness.
[Scenario Complete]
Finally, the scenario is complete. I returned to Heaven and rested for a moment because it was time for me to recollect.
"How was it?"
"Wrath, full of implications and uses. Emotional control, thank you."
"Of course. Ready for the next?"
"Hit me." I looked at the next scenario. I was quite nervous because the next scenario was quite challenging.
[49th Scenario : Satan Right Hand Man "The Devil"]
Category: Chain Main Scenario
Description Of Scenario: Special 7 Chain Scenario, following the Seven Deadly Sins. The current Sin is Envy, which forces you to experience jealousy and a resentful attitude. The next world you are assessing to enter is the Fate/Grand Order world.
In this world, you start with no magical power and find yourself completely alone. Despite this, you are compelled to assume the role of Ritsuka Fujimaru due to your special "Backing," but you retain your own name.
Following the FGO game system, you will engage in interactive fiction with a feature called "Appeal Attracting" as the basis. This system is designed to help you apply actions or dialogues that attract and influence the entities you encounter. By analyzing your target, the system will provide tailored recommendations for actions, rewards, interactions, or gestures that are most appealing to them. The system will continuously update and refine these recommendations based on real-time feedback and results, and you won't need to manage this yourself—the system will handle it for you. Additionally, you are limited to using only the Artifact and special system call Skill Crack where allows for you to be able to copy and use the abilities of the opponents you defeat, defeat in this situation unable to fight, retreat and back off, not limited by killing, slaying, subjugating and even enslaving.
Difficulty: Impossible
Clear Conditions : complete at least 100 Singularity.
Time Limit : none
Reward : Attribute
Failure : None
I thought to myself, artifacts are useful as "equipment," but skills are also beneficial. Perhaps they can be developed further in their application.
"May I see the stats?"
[ Master Stats : ★★★★★★ ]
Name : Valtor Ismael
Race : Hybrid (Seraphim, Devil, Human, Dragon, Void, Force)
Lv : 1 | EXP : 0/10
[ Skill ]
Command Skills, which serve as attacks or support spells.
Passive Skills, which can affect your innate defensive or offensive capabilities
Auto Skills, which are automatically cast at the start of each battle
Racial Skills are the special abilities of you, unique to you belonging to that particular race.
Without HP, MP, or any other stat attributes, this experience is purely skill and experience-based. This is certainly interesting to explore.
"As my level increases, will I gain more skills?" I asked God. God replied calmly, "That's right. Level determines the number of abilities you can use and acquire. The higher your level, the more skills you can use. However, remember that level progression is based on your performance in the Singularity, so take it seriously." I nodded, accepting God's advice.
"Thank you. I want to use my last two wishes now," I told them before embarking for Fate Grand Order.
I woke up from the Rayshift, my body experiencing extreme instability. I exited the device with blurry vision and a dizzy head.

A: Attend the Director's Orientation Speech | Reward: 5 Free Artifacts
[God Task]
Complete one Singularity | Reward: 2 Greater Grails with 3 wishes each
I tried to walk despite my body feeling disoriented, as if I'd experienced severe turbulence. Although I remained conscious, I stumbled and began to feel nauseous.
"Fou?!" I saw Fou and smiled.
[ (Smile) Hello ]
[ (Confused) A cat? ]
[ (Reach out) Hello Fou, nice to meet you ]
I chose the third option, instinctively reaching out to Fou. Fou sniffed my hand and then suddenly bit it, instantly making my body feel better.
"Fou!?" I saw Mash approach us, seeing me still kneeling in exhaustion.
"Fou! Fou!" Fou tugged at my pants, and I looked towards Mash.
[ (Smile and wave) Hello, Mash ]
[ (Act cool) Hello, Miss ]
[ (Stand up and focus on objective) ]
I chose the first option, and Mash reacted.
"Hello, who are you?" Lev appeared, observing the commotion. "He's one of the Master candidates. Come on, you're almost late for the orientation," he said. We headed to the orientation, and I began to analyze Chaldea. Upon arriving in the orientation room, I saw many other Masters, as well as some Crypters who would eventually become my enemies.
[ Hello, nice to meet you all (Start introducing yourself) ]
[ Hello losers, are we going to be heroes today! ]
[ Shut up, sit down, and listen to the director's speech ]
I chose the third. The second option was too much, and I didn't want to take risks.
I sat quietly, listening to Olga's long speech, which almost put me to sleep. She explained various things I didn't pay much attention to, and I nearly dozed off listening to her ramblings.
Olga saw me sleeping with my eyes closed, staring at the ceiling, which greatly angered her. Olga descended from the podium, dragged me out of the orientation room, and glared at me with a grumbling face.
"You're punished! You're not allowed to join the first mission!" she said angrily. However, I just looked at her blankly, because I got a prompt.
[ (Apologize) Sorry, I deserve it ]
[ (Flirt) So, you want to go on the first mission with me? ]
[ (Reason) Sorry Director, the effects of the Rayshift made me dizzy. I couldn't help but feel drowsy. Perhaps a short rest could resolve this issue. I apologize for the inconvenience ]
The third option seemed more reasonable than the others.
Olga was still mad, but she showed me to a dorm room. "Rest there." Despite acting tough, she seemed a bit awkward and paranoid about her image being tarnished.
I nodded and headed to the unassigned room, where I saw Romani lounging around. No prompt appeared, so I decided to chat with him for a bit. However, my focus remained on the reward I'd be getting later.

B : Clear Singularity without dying | Reward : Free 4 Artifact
After the explosion, power across Chaldea went out. Romani and I immediately went to check the damage, finding many staff members and people had died from the blast, including several masters who perished in their cryo-freezers along with Olga. I helped Mash with whatever I could, and we eventually gathered in the shattered control room.
"Valtor, hurry to the Rayshift!" Romani commanded urgently. I nodded and rushed towards the cryo-freeze unit with Mash. As I began the Rayshift process, I felt a sensation like being sucked into a wormhole.
I arrived in a burning Fuyuki, with Mash beside me. This time, no prompts appeared, leaving me free to act.
"Mash, are you okay?" I asked, checking on her.
"Yes, Senpai," Mash replied firmly. I felt relieved but also began thinking hard, as I had no Mana in my body. This meant I needed a significant backup plan.
"Senpai, make a contract with me," Mash requested, though I worried it was impossible.
"Mash, I don't have magic circuits," I answered, which greatly shocked Mash.
"What?!"
"I can't use Mana or magic. I'm sorry, I'm truly a huge burden in this Singularity." Mash shook her head and began looking for a solution.
"Mash, follow me," I said, and she obeyed. I used the compass to track the director's position and found the Ley Line where we met her.
"Valtor! Where are the others?" Olga asked anxiously.
[ (Honest) Tell the situation ]
[ (Lie) Say everything is fine ]
[ (Silent) Say nothing ]
I chose the first option and told her everything—about the explosion in Chaldea, how all the staff died except Romani and Da Vinci, and how almost all the masters were dead or severely injured. I also delivered the shocking news that the director was already dead in the Cryopod, and what was present now was just her memory recorded in the Rayshift.
Olga was silent, shocked, angry, and showed various emotions on her face. She was furious at the reality that I had no magic or Mana yet was still a master candidate. She knew I was "special" because of her father's choice, but she couldn't see what made me special when I had nothing.
"Oh no...." Olga wasn't thinking about her death but my safety. Although she knew this was a life-or-death situation, there was no room for even a moment of doubt.
"Senpai, Director! Enemy!" Mash warned me. We saw Shadow Servants from FSN appear before us. Boldly, I stepped forward and tried to use a skill, but a prompt appeared at an inopportune moment.
[ (Gesture) When you use a Command Skill, all you need is a gesture. Warning, this effect will not change until you have the necessary artifact ]
[ (Incantation) When you use a Command Skill, all you need is to speak it. Warning, this effect will not change until you have the necessary artifact ]
[ (Silent) When you use a Command Skill, all you need is intent. Warning, this effect will not change until you have the necessary artifact ]
I chose the first option, and with a flick of my finger, all the fires in Fuyuki vanished without a trace, and the Shadow Servants suddenly disappeared as fast as lightning.
[ Defeating 6 Shadow Servants: +300 EXP gained ]
[ Level Up + ]
Lv: 7 | EXP: 300/360
I was shocked to realize that the Staff of Negation truly eliminated the reality-warping effects of Fuyuki's fires, and the Staff of Silence made the Shadow Servants created by the Holy Grail vanish just like that. This was truly astonishing.
Mash, Olga, and Cu, who were not far from the scene, appeared greatly surprised. Olga even tugged at my clothes with an angry expression in her eyes, clearly feeling that I had lied to her.
"CAN'T USE MAGIC?! THAT'S NOBLE PHANTASM LEVEL MAGIC! YOU LITERALLY NULLIFIED THE MAGIC HERE AND ERASED IT!" Olga shouted, confused and angry. I was also confused until suddenly a communication from Chaldea appeared before me.
"Hello, Valtor, are you okay?" Romani's voice sounded through the interface, along with Da Vinci who appeared on screen.
"Yes, I'm fine. Director and Mash are safe too," I replied quickly.
"Thank goodness... wait a minute..." Romani checked my stats through the monitor, and he looked confused. "Your Master stats look corrupted, like strange distortions or static."
"Your Master status is corrupted," he added with a worried tone.
"I can explain," I said, then told them the truth. I explained that I was born with a unique ability that made me unable to possess Magic Circuits or Mana. However, I have the ability to negate Mana and Magic that comes towards me or that uses Mana as a source, completely rejecting it like the First Magic in Magecraft, which is Denial of Nothingness, where I deny the existence of Mana and anything created from Mana, rendering it nonexistent.
"Does that make sense?" I asked, hoping my explanation would be understood.
Romani and Da Vinci exchanged glances through the monitor, both appearing shocked and confused. They had never heard of an ability like this before, but the fact that I had demonstrated such power in Fuyuki forced them to accept this reality.
"Alright, that's why there's distortion here, because the Mana used to check you was erased. You'll have plenty of time to explain after the Singularity is complete. I'll help track the source." Romani searched, but the tracking machine was also damaged by the effects of my power.
"It's busted. Can your power not be temporarily deactivated?" Da Vinci asked, very curious about my Anti-Magic ability.
"I'll try." I deactivated the Staff of Negation, and finally, the map interface in Chaldea lit up. The distortion in my status also reactivated, and suddenly my Saint Graph skyrocketed, showing numbers in the billions, even trillions, reaching a Universal level, which caused the Saint Graph to crash and resulted in several technical problems.
"You broke the Saint Graph... Honestly, who exactly are you?" Romani was very curious about me, because as a former Grand Caster, he knew that this was Mana's reaction to the deactivation of my power, as if Mana wanted to convey something very important, but instead simply exploded.
"Valtor Ismael, Master Candidate number 48," I replied calmly. Romani sighed and assessed the situation.
"I assume you possess Anti-Magic and Anti-Mystery powers. Any object made from Mana or formed by magical energy will vanish, or, in the worst-case scenario, malfunction or break down. I advise against making contracts with Servants for two reasons. As a fellow Magus, I sense an anomaly here. Mana seems to accumulate within you, but due to your power, that accumulation bursts like a forcefully popped balloon. I'm concerned that if you make a contract with a Servant, the worst possible outcome is that the Servant will die due to the accumulating Mana quantity. The second reason is due to your inherent Anti-Magic nature. In terms of implementation, Servant stats, Saint Graph, Noble Phantasms, and even by implication, anything formed and created based on Mana—from Mana, sourced from Mana, and utilizing Mana—will automatically become non-functional. That's why Mash, the Director, and the Rogue Servant there couldn't use their Servant skills, magic or magecraft, or their Noble Phantasms. Combined with the existence of Shadow Servants instantly vanishing, this further strengthens that conclusion. For now, you could be described as a True Magus Killer and True Mana Killer. As long as something originates from Mana or is formed from Mana, you are poison and the anti-thesis of Mana itself. That's why I believe this is what makes you special."
"I see, so I'm a unique Master?"
"Realistically, yes, but I'm still confused why you could perform Rayshifting if you don't possess Mana or a Magic Source. You should have died during Rayshifting," I remembered my previous disorientation.
"Ah, maybe that's it. During the Rayshifting simulation, I woke up feeling disoriented and extremely dizzy. Then Fou suddenly bit my finger, though it didn't bleed, and I felt fine. Perhaps that's the side effect of my Manaless state, and Fou might be the reason why I could Rayshift despite not having Mana."
"I see. Alright, we'll monitor developments this time, and you, Valtor, you must make a report about it." I nodded to Romani and looked at Olga, Mash, and not far from here, Cu or Odin.
I looked at the compass in the sky and nodded.
"Director, make a contract with Mash and Odin, or Cu Chulain. I'll stay away so there won't be any distortion or anti-magic when you make the contract. Excuse me." I quickly fled because I was confused why the Shadow Servants didn't give me a Crack Skill.
Once I was in a safe enough zone at the temple, where the Caster was, I contacted God and Satan.
"Hello."
"Crack skill won't activate."
"It's active, but you need to be far away from people's vicinity; no one wants to see that you're actually a Seraphim and Devil."
"Makes sense. Hit me."

Gate of Babylon
I tried activating Gate of Babylon, and a gate appeared, just like Gilgamesh's, but its contents were different. When I checked it, the gate contained not Gilgamesh's treasury, but other weapons. I saw a mountain of treasures that were actually my own, complete with various weapons, not just any weapons, but from various game worlds. Weapons from Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, Bayonetta, God of War, Warcraft, Devil May Cry, and all other fantasy games. Not to forget weapons from Sci-Fi worlds like Azur Lane Rigging, Kantai Collection, Halo, and Starcraft. Even weapons from Marvel, DC, and many other famous comics and manga were here. All these weapons were complete, but where were the Titanic weapons?
Then I tried Unlimited Blade Works, and a Reality Marble appeared, displaying thousands, even an infinite number, of all forms of weapons originating from game worlds. I saw Gorshalach and even Sargeras's weapons, even Titanic-sized weapons, as large as worlds, and even as large as stars were here, ready for me to use. Unfortunately, I didn't find a Transcendence Sword like the Seraphim Sword, but luckily Frostmourne was here, though not as strong as my own which I kept. I took Devil Sword Dante and also a copy of the Blade of Olympus. Plus, all these weapons were at maximum level. Incredible!
Both swords disappeared from my side, but I could still feel their presence. I arrived and saw Mash, Olga, and Odin. They saw me carrying two very strange swords, but from the energy fluctuations emanating from these two weapons, it was clear that they were not ordinary weapons, but came from different sources, making Mana like two opposing magnets.
"Contract made, Director?" I asked Olga, who looked angry but also curious about the mysterious aura I exuded.
"Yes," she replied.
"I'm glad to hear that," I replied, looking at the compass pointing towards Saber Alter. I looked at them.
"Alright, Director, next plan?" I asked again.
"No, I want to know your quality as a Master," Olga tested me, and of course, I couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Cu, I apologize. All Father Odin, you've heard that I possess Anti-Magic abilities, so I hope you understand. Plus, this time we're dealing with Saber corrupted by the Black Grail, based on the Mana properties here. From the team composition, I'll arrange our positions. Mash and I will be the tanks to draw Saber's aggro on the front line. All Father Odin will be support using runes from a distance because you are the buffer here. The Director will be offensive support, helping attack Saber from the sides and rear. Saber's focus will be divided to defend against my attacks, and Mash will hold her off. The thing to watch out for is Saber's Noble Phantasm. I can cancel it, but when that happens, you all must retreat because we can't survive in one arena without magic, Servant skills, or Noble Phantasms. However, at that vulnerable moment, I will use Dispel like I did to eliminate the Shadow Servants. Most likely, it can be used to eliminate Saber when she's highly exposed. Understood?"
"Understood, Senpai!"
"Yes, Master."
"I am not your Master, All Father Odin. The Director is your Master."
"Alright, I'll follow your plan." We then set off to face Saber.
When we met Saber, I summoned Devil Sword Dante and activated its abilities. Although I couldn't use Sin Devil Trigger, I would need Knight of Ownership for that. The three of them intently observed Devil Sword Dante's abilities, which emanated such potent evil energy that it sent shivers down one's spine just by being near it. Even Saber felt it—not as an instinct, but as a Mana reaction indicating the weapon was extremely dangerous.
"Here I go!" I surged forward and began fighting Saber, who was using Corrupted Excalibur. I launched attack after attack, consistently matching Saber's strength. Mash assisted me by blocking and parrying Saber's attacks, causing her to stagger. Meanwhile, Odin and Olga provided support from the sides and rear, overwhelming Saber with our combined assault.
Saber was sent flying, her helmet shattered, and her eyes glared at me. I seized this moment to prepare Rule Breaker and Dispel. Saber prepared to use her Noble Phantasm, and this was the moment.
"NOW!" The three of them retreated, and I used Negation. Suddenly, Excalibur shattered, including its corrupted form. Saber looked at me, and I smiled at her before she finally vanished from my sight. I deactivated Negation and whistled, signaling that the Singularity had been overcome.
"Senpai, it worked!" Mash was extremely excited by our success.
"Yes, Mash. Good job," I said, praising her enthusiastically.
"Master, you are indeed impressive. If we meet again, I wish you will be my master."
"I will, All Father Odin, but my anti-magic nature is dangerous for making a contract with a Servant. I apologize."
"It's alright, Master. We can figure out how to negate the anti-magic. Farewell." Odin disappeared as the Singularity returned to normal. Olga, on the other hand, felt a hint of jealousy towards me. I was brave even without magic, knew how to properly use Servants, utilized their abilities, and positioned myself in battle.
"Mash, a moment, please." "Yes, Senpai?" I whispered to Mash, who then looked at me seriously and nodded.
"What were you whispering about?"
"Nothing, Director. We should head back." We heard applause from a distance.
"Excellent, truly a fascinating display of battle, Valtor... I had suspected something special about you was Anti-Magic, an antithesis of Mystery." Lev appeared and began talking to himself. I picked up Rebellion and looked at Devil Sword Dante and Blade of Olympus. I should be able to achieve Sin Devil Trigger at a higher level.
Lev began informing Olga about his plan. Mash and I nodded to each other and prepared ourselves. Lev brought forth Chaldeas, and I shouted, "MASH, NOW!"
"LORD CHALDEA!" Mash used her Noble Phantasm for the first time, though very weakly.
"What are you doing!" Olga looked at us in confusion as I strapped Blade of Olympus and Devil Sword Dante to my back.
"Denying the Fate!" I pierced my heart with Rebellion, activating the sword and thrusting it deeper until it went through my back.
"COME ON, RULE BREAKER!" The Rule Breaker seal activated, and I absorbed the Blade of Olympus and Devil Sword Dante. I underwent a high-level transformation and turned into Dante's Sin Devil Trigger. With the Blade of Olympus representing Mundus and Devil Sword Dante representing Sparda, Rebellion became the tool to integrate these two entities into my body.
Mash and Olga watched my terrifying devil form, but I couldn't waste time as this power was limited.
"Mash, protect the director. I will beat that betrayer." I immediately used every combo from Dante's Sin Devil Trigger. Lev was utterly shocked to see a true demon form that instantly nullified his magic, power, and abilities as if he were a mere infant. I beat him and performed a super combo trickstyle, then I destroyed Chaldea with Demolition, reducing it to useless rubble.
"DEVIL!"
"Correct! Now you perish!" I used the final combo, Judgement, and executed Lev until he was dying. With all my concentrated power, I inflicted lethal damage on the surrounding enemies. Lev retreated in fear, but I also immediately collapsed and fell to the ground. However, Mash caught me, as did Olga. Twelve Labors activated, and I returned to life from death.
"Is it all over?"
"Senpai, are you okay?"
"Actually, I'm not. The Grail, Director, use it." Olga looked at the Grail, and this time, hope could be granted. However, Olga gave the Grail to me.
"It's for you."
"Director, I'm honored, but I cannot use the Grail due to my Anti-Magic."
[ Defeating Saber Servant : + 400 EXP gained ]
[ Level Up + ]
Lv : 9 | EXP : 700/820
Thank goodness it came. Director Olga looked at me with a different gaze, and I realized that even without magic, I knew my limits, so I gave Olga an affection point.
"Call Romani to call you two back."
"Director, how about you?"
"I will stay here. I am already dead... I accept my fate... Valtor, I leave humanity's fate to you."
I was enraged by Olga's words. Without hesitation, I stood up and slapped her. Olga was stunned, and even Mash looked shocked.
"Director! What the hell is this? Just because you died in the world, you're giving up just like that! I thought you were my role model in terms of courage, adaptability, and if necessary, sacrifice. I may not have talent in magic or magecraft, but I never lose hope for growth, for fighting, and even, if necessary, selling my soul to demons and becoming a demon myself. The world may be over, but as long as we still breathe, don't let 'over' be the end of a book, the end of a report, or the end of a story. A new chapter will emerge, and we will create it. Singularity is just a lost page that the demon deliberately re-edited. We can't let that damn demon tamper with our history just because humans don't deserve to be helped. I admit, it's true that humans don't deserve to be helped, but because they don't realize one obvious flaw. Why do demons bother to become human, blend in as humans, use human form to carry out their plans? They use human ideologies, tactics, plots, and schemes to destroy humanity. We can exploit this paradox, Director. You forget one important thing about humans: we can find solutions, we evolve and adapt, learn from the past, fix the present, and save the future. Those demons will never understand the six superpowers humans possess, and one thing is for sure, Director: one enemy is enough to make them feel how terrifying humans are. I've shown this before; I can be a demon, the antithesis of God, and look at Lev, who was so terrified he shriveled and trembled, broken, weak, and paralyzed. You want proof? Here!"
I pulled out Rule Breaker and clasped Olga's hand before plunging the sword into her hand. With Rule Breaker as a medium, I gave one of the lives from Heracles' Noble Phantasm, Twelve Labors, to Olga, ensuring that this Noble Phantasm would activate for her. Olga came back to life in the real world, and I felt relieved by that.
I pulled out Rule Breaker and looked at Olga.
"Rule Breaker, Medea's Noble Phantasm. I used Heracles' Twelve Labors to give you life back. I sacrificed one of my lives to you so you can live again. Now I have nine lives left; three others I already gave to demons; one to bring me back from death, and one for you. Now you owe me your life, Director, and I'm not asking for repayment in the form of sacrificing your life to me, but in the form of a plea. Don't lose hope, keep growing, push forward even if the odds are only 0.1%. As long as it's not 0, we humans can achieve anything. Believe in yourself, learn new things, adapt, know your limits, and break those limits if necessary."
I looked at Mash, and she was silent for a moment, processing what had just happened.
"Romani, we secured the Grail. Send us back!" We performed the Rayshift, and this time, Olga was with us. As we exited the Cryopod, I suddenly felt dizzy again. Damn it, why now?
"Director, I'm dizzy, sorry, I need to rest." I was extremely disoriented, almost falling, due to the lingering effects of Rayshift. If I was out of it, it was a problem, but if I went in, it wasn't. Maybe I needed some control.
"Senpai, let me carry you to your room."
"Thank you, Mash." Mash escorted me to my room, and I collapsed onto my bed. I called God and Satan.

2. Complete three Singularities | Reward: 4 Greater Grails with 3 wishes each
I went to the control room where the Chaldea team and the Director were currently gloomy, as we had lost contact with the outside world, which was, in a manner of speaking, irrevocably destroyed.
"Valtor."
"Senpai!"
"Hey, so what's the status? It seems the world is, let's just say... post-apocalyptic?"
"Literally true, because time diversion and temporal shifts due to the Singularity simply caused humanity to perish. Thanks to Chaldea's shield, we weren't affected," Olga said, tying up Romani.
I thought for a moment and looked at some of the staff here. I felt envious because I was just a no-magic Master, and the fact that I survived as the last one was practically hopeless.
[ (Positive) Can the staff here be Master candidates? ]
[ (Negative) We need extra work due to lack of personnel for maintenance and other things ]
[ (Creative) Our condition is dire, but we can salvage this to rise again ]
I chose the third option because it seemed more constructive and had great potential to strengthen the team. When I proposed this idea, everyone looked at me seriously, including Director Olga, who asked curiously, "How?"
A good question, as we had lost many resources. However, I already had a plan.
"Servant Summoning," I answered with full conviction.
Olga looked surprised and immediately turned to me seriously. "Romani, check the list of Servants involved in the Fuyuki War."
Romani immediately checked and brought up the Servant list: Emiya, Cu Chulain, Medea, Artoria, Type-Moon's Medusa, Sasaki, Heracles, and Gilgamesh. I studied the list based on my knowledge of the Fate Universe. I could utilize their abilities, especially with the help of Rule Breaker and several other important aspects.
"I hope you all can accept this plan, so please listen carefully," I said, taking a deep breath. This was an important moment to show my leadership abilities.
"I propose using the Servant's abilities to rebuild Chaldea. Literally, we will utilize their Noble Phantasms to repair Chaldea. I have learned about Servant contracts that can provide benefits from the Servant to the Master, as happened with Mash, who, as a Shielder, has strong resistance and defense to protect the Director from spiritual threats not of a divine level. We just need to utilize that system with their consent, because it's fundamentally an ability possessed by their Servant.
Currently, we already have three Servants: former Grand Caster Solomon or Romani, Caster Da Vinci, and Unique Class Shielder Galahad or Mash. With the help of Vice-Director Romani, who is a former Grand Caster, we can increase the magic input and output capabilities here. With Da Vinci's creativity and Mash's protective abilities, we can protect Chaldea from direct magical threats. The combination of Da Vinci's inventions, Mash's protection, Solomon's magic, plus my Anti-Magic, allows us to create an Anti-Magic Dome that can protect us from Reality Warping effects like what we're currently experiencing.
With this strategy, incidents like this won't happen again, plus there are other things I can help with based on the abilities of the Servants we encountered in Fuyuki. Although they were just Shadow Servants and not as strong as their originals, we can still manipulate this situation.
For example, based on the history of Emiya, who is a Guardian of Humanity or Counter Force tasked with preventing human extinction, we can take on that role and assimilate it into Chaldea. In the view of Alaya, or humanity's collective consciousness, we can be considered the last bastion to protect humanity. Given the reality that humanity is almost extinct, we have the right and obligation to prevent that extinction. Although we are using a somewhat cheating system because the Throne of Heroes only recognizes seven official Servants, this manipulation is our right as the last bastion. The Throne of Heroes must help us by providing the necessary heroes without question.
With the help of Gilgamesh's title as King of Heroes, we can assimilate it into Mash's Galahad Shield so we can access the entire list of heroes or Servants who have joined the Throne of Heroes. With this access, we can summon Extra Classes like Shielder, Avenger, Alter Ego, even Divine Spirits or gods from mythology. Then, with the abilities of Medea's Rule Breaker and Cu Chulain's Guts, we can ensure that Masters in critical condition can be sent back here to prevent their death during Rayshifts or getting trapped in wormholes.
Medusa has an interesting Noble Phantasm that can be used as a self-seal within the mind. In application, this can be used if our body is destroyed in a Singularity; our consciousness will return to the Cryopod even if our body is totally destroyed, combined with Heracles' Twelve Lives Noble Phantasm. This system allows us to restart and come back to life, just as I did for the Director. If we fail to fix a Singularity, we can return to the starting point with more mature preparations, and we can use this opportunity up to 12 times to try again, just like grinding.
As for Sasaki, due to his unique existence, we can utilize this to create a Simulation Singularity, where we can conduct training with Servants in the field and team coordination training with Masters. We cannot force Servants to go directly into a Singularity without preparation and understanding of each other's abilities. This simulation room is very useful for evaluating and re-evaluating these things.
With Sasaki's ability as a Self-Made Servant, Medea's Rule Breaker, Gilgamesh's King of Heroes, and Artoria as the King of the Round Table who literally observes from the Throne of Heroes, we can create a Servant Scanning system. When we enter a Singularity, we can know what Servants we are facing and what Servants are rogue or masterless. This will help us solve Singularities faster, four steps ahead of our enemies. We can combine this scanning access with Medusa's Noble Phantasm so that Servant consciousness can be easily scanned by Chaldea. How about it? Is this a good suggestion?"
Everyone was silent; no one gave any comments or opinions after I explained my plan.
[Nice]
'Thank you,' I felt relieved to get praise from God and Satan.
On the other hand, Olga seemed very jealous. My analytical ability and brilliant ideas clearly made her feel pressured. Rather than just summoning Servants and increasing the workforce, I proposed utilizing the Servants' abilities themselves without needing to summon them, an idea that she might never have considered.
Romani then asked me curiously, "Why did you know I was a Grand Caster?" I replied casually, "From the way you talked about magi, I deduced why a magus like you would know about the anomaly I possess, whereas even a high-level magus like Director Olga didn't. That was the first clue. The second clue was from your way of leading when the Director wasn't present. You must have leadership experience. From those two things—leading and understanding magic—I pretty much remember human history from Adam until now. There are two people who fit that criteria: Moses and Solomon. Moses is impossible because I know he can communicate directly with God without needing commands. The biggest clue is your relaxed habits, like Solomon recorded in history: when not serious, you seem relaxed, but when the time comes, you start handling things seriously. Right?" Romani looked surprised but gave a slight smile, apparently not expecting me to deduce his identity so quickly.
"Alright, you caught me," Romani admitted with a slight laugh. "But this idea of yours is quite applicable, it's just that our resources are very lacking."
"Lack resources? Who said so?" I opened Gate of Babylon, and from the gate emerged piles of treasure—all materials from the FGO game and from the Fate Universe, including some Age of God technology that was also there.
"This is Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, Gate of Babylon. I studied its history and abilities, and now I'm just taking its materials, not its weaponry, which I don't find very useful. So, don't worry about resources even if this world is practically dead due to the Singularity."
"Who exactly are you?" Da Vinci was impatient to uncover my true identity. "Valtor Ismael. Master Candidate number 48." "No, seriously!" "I am serious!" "You're lying!" "Yes, I'm lying." "See? Tell me who you really are!" "Who are you? My Master?" Da Vinci paused for a moment and played with her finger, pointing at me. "If you're going to play like that, fine."
"Alright, enough joking around, we have Singularities to resolve. Considering there's no Singularity warning, we can use this moment to 'rebuild'. Since I can't use magic, construction would be faster with the help of magic. But if I interfere, it could be destroyed and canceled, so I'll stay here writing reports about the Singularities. Sorry if I'm burdening you, but you can take materials from that gate if needed."
I sat down and began writing the Singularity report very quickly. My typing speed was like playing a game, every key pressed with 100% accuracy. However, the Command Center's system couldn't handle my high responsiveness.
"Aiya, I broke the computer!" I waited for it to reboot and then continued the report. Luckily, I had saved. Saving is important.
They followed my advice, and this time I could focus on performing Skill Synthesis. I hoped to get some good skills in the process.
[ Skill Synthesize ]
Secret Sword: Swallow Return + Breaker Gorgon: Self Seal - Dark Temple
[ Synthesizing... Complete ]
[ Command Skill ]
One Mind : A Combat Art that unleashes a storm of attacks from the sheathed stance; so fast the blade is nigh invisible. One must focus their soul on the release of the blade, nothing else. Through that focus, the strikes achieve a god-like speed.
Thank goodness I can use this with Yamato. Plus, the next Singularity will be crucial because Dragons and Wyverns will help me gain Draconification or Dragon Force, along with a lot of EXP.
As I was busy writing reports and experimenting with skill combinations, Mash offered me some coffee.
"Thank you," I said, taking a sip.
"Senpai... who exactly are you?" Mash asked.
"Depends on what you perceive," I replied, finishing my report. Now it was time for me to start doing what I love: creating.
"I see," Mash said, a little awkwardly. But I was confident she would come to trust me. I quickly helped with Chaldea's reconstruction, as my Supreme Enhancement ability made me move faster, work faster, and absorb information more rapidly. My knowledge and its application also became more accurate.
However, I couldn't use magic, so Olga, Da Vinci, and Romani handled that. We needed 4 days for total repairs and some additional things I mentioned. I closed the gate and drank an energy potion from inside.
"So exhausting!" I said, sitting in the hallway. We had repaired all of Chaldea's facilities, upgraded them, and added several new features.
"This took a lot of energy," Olga remarked, utterly exhausted, as were the others. We pushed ourselves too hard, but what else could we do? Hopefully, it was worth it.
Basically, this was a good upgrade, because honestly, Lasagna (referring to the game developers, Lasengle, formerly Type-Moon's Delightworks) can fix the game, but they focus more on gacha and events.
