Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

He thought he would have to enjoy this unique beauty all by himself.

However, the existence of this young man brought him the joy of finding a kindred spirit.

Ryunosuke Uryu couldn't wait to share his joy with his "comrade"—in a way that was incredibly devout, using his coolest methods of torture, murder, and corpse disposal on his "comrade".

However, the instant before Ryunosuke Uryu spoke, the white-haired youth looked up with lightning speed, his golden eyes flashing with a chilling light, and a fierce killing intent almost engulfed him.

Only when he realized that the person in front of him was just a seemingly harmless hiker with a backpack did the white-haired youth's murderous aura dissipate, and he muttered to himself:

"Is this kind of decoration from someone who likes cheetahs...?"

and also?

The young man's final words changed Ryunosuke Uryu's mind.

Perhaps, before they enjoy their final "death," they still have time to talk about aesthetics a little longer.

With this in mind, Ryunosuke Uryu bent down, picked up the dying Sakuzuki, and headed towards the hospital in a nearby town.

This is the origin of the serial killer who appeared in the small town.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Let's go back to the morning three days later.

Not long after Ryunosuke Uryu opened the door and found that Sakugetsu had woken up, the two young men left the town together and headed towards the Alps.

The invitation to go mountain climbing was made by Ryunosuke Uryu, and for some reason, Sakugetsu, who was still recovering from his injuries, also agreed to this abrupt request.

After introducing themselves, the two young people seemed to quickly become acquainted.

"Speaking of which, you said you 'also like cheetahs,' right, Sakugetsu?" During the hike, Ryunosuke Uryu casually remarked, "I'm curious, did that 'also' refer to you, or someone else you know?"

He didn't care why Shuoyue was there, nor how she got so badly injured—for Yusuke Ryunosuke, knowing just that was enough. (69shux.com)

Shuoyue, who was following behind him at a leisurely pace and enjoying the scenery along the way, slowly shifted her gaze when she heard the question and focused her attention on the young man who could be considered her savior.

Male, orange hair, claims to be "Ryunosuke Uryu", likes leopard print.

If two or three of the conditions are met, it might be possible to argue that it was an accident, but if all four conditions are met, then it is certain that it cannot be more of a coincidence.

“Zero point of destiny…” Shuoyue murmured, finally understanding the hint from the ‘Destiny Compendium’.

[Condition 2 unlocked. Reward: Leave this world and travel to the origin of destiny.]

The origin of destiny, Fate·Zero.

The secrets of the Fourth Holy Grail War, a brutal story of seven groups of magicians battling each other.

Heroes of the past reappear under the influence of mystery, gathering together to fight.

A solitary king, a heroic king, a holy king;

A mad knight, a noble yet unfortunate knight;

A blasphemous marshal, an assassin of a hundred faces;

The seven Masters fought their own battles, throwing themselves into carnage for their own desires.

A killer who fantasizes about saving humanity, a priest who seeks pleasure;

A scheming family head, and a young and impetuous magic apprentice;

A dying man seeking revenge; a child prodigy driven by honor; an innocent killer who stumbled into this battle.

Seven Masters and Servants race and fight across a stage in an entire city, all in an effort to seize the ultimate miracle (the Holy Grail).

This is the origin of the Fate series of stories, after which countless world lines, countless events, and countless miracles were born.

—From then on, there was never such prosperity again.

Shuoyue snapped out of his daze and looked at his "savior," Yusheng Longzhi.

He was one of the Masters in the Fourth Holy Grail War, a troublemaker, a hedonist, and a victim in this war.

Faced with the orange-haired youth's question, Shuoyue simply smiled and answered calmly:

"It's someone I know."

"What kind of person is he? Can you tell me?" the innocent killer asked, his eyes filled with genuine expectation.

Shuoyue then obediently replied:

"He is cheerful and bright, and can perceive the subtle feelings of others but is not fussy about details."

"Oh!"

"Always maintain an optimistic and constructive attitude. Don't give up because of failure."

"oh oh!"

"I am also an animal lover and I really enjoy hunting parks or natural science features. But my interest in cruel subjects is limited to those that resemble hominids. Although I admire sharks and carnivores, I have never thought of becoming one of them."

"Oh oh oh!"

With each word he spoke, Ryunosuke Uryu's eyes gleamed brighter. Finally, he ran over and grabbed Sakugetsu's hand, shouting as if afraid he would run away:

"Who is he? Where is he? Can I visit him?"

Shuoyue smiled politely and subtly withdrew her hand: "I'm sorry, he can't come to see you because—"

"Why?" Ryunosuke's face was contorted with tension.

“It’s not time yet.” The white-haired youth smiled faintly again. “He asked me to tell you that once you reach the summit, you will be able to meet him.”

"This is so cool!" Sakugetsu's concealment didn't annoy Ryunosuke Amusei; instead, it made him shout excitedly.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say! My God, is he a mind reader? How does he always know what I'm thinking? Cool, so cool! Let's go! Let's go, let's go!"

In a frenzy of ecstasy that nearly made him faint, the killer almost forgot everything, wildly swinging his legs, his eyes fixed solely on the alluring mountain peak.

Therefore, he did not notice that Shuoyue, who was following him at a leisurely pace, was looking at him, her savior, with an extremely strange gaze.

That was the look in one's eyes as one gazes at a strange, soon-to-disappear object.

Chapter 8 The Serial Killer's End and the Leap of Faith

Alps

"So, can you tell me the answer now?" Having just reached the summit, Ryunosuke Uryu, ignoring his aching legs, turned to ask.

“Of course.” Shuoyue glanced at the haystack next to the orange-haired youth as if it were an afterthought.

The faintly visible black travel bag, and the all-too-familiar mountain climbing process of Ryunosuke Uryu—undoubtedly confirmed his conjecture.

Thanks to this, Shuoyue's smile became completely cold and ruthless.

(Projection begins.)

It wasn't Shirou Emiya's beloved black and white twin swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, but just an ordinary short sword.

Before Ryunosuke could react, Sakugetsu approached him with superhuman speed, even after being weakened, and then reached out—and thrust out this sword.

The blade pierced through Ryunosuke Uryu's abdomen and remained there, cold and lifeless.

The wind on the mountaintop seemed to stand still, and only the sound of blood helplessly leaving the body was so clear.

“Look there.” Scooping up a pool of clear red spring water, Sakuzuki brought her palm close to Uryuu Ryunosuke’s eyes and whispered like a demon, “This is my answer, this is what you have been looking for, Uryuu Ryunosuke.”

Ryunosuke Uryu stared wide-eyed at the object slowly flowing away from his palm.

"Wow……"

Red. A vibrant red without a single impurity.

That was the primal color he had been exploring, so vibrant it shimmered.

"That's it!" Ryunosuke suddenly realized, a smile spreading across his bluish-purple lips.

This is the true "red" he searched everywhere, digging in countless places, but couldn't find. -Manwuwuman-

The red color gradually faded, not only on the palm, but also on the white-haired youth (the demon), who walked away without any hesitation.

But Ryunosuke Uryu has already found the answer.

He lovingly and gently embraced his blood-soaked belly.

"I see... no wonder I didn't notice it before..."

As the saying goes, what seems far away is actually right before your eyes. He never imagined that the thing he had been searching for all this time was hidden so close to him. Ryunosuke's mind was intoxicated by the constant flow of hormones surging within him; he knelt on the ground as if ascending to heaven, trembling as he pulled out his travel bag from the pile of grass at his feet.

Unzip the zipper, and scalpels, nails, hammers... all the instruments of torture clattered out, gleaming with iron light and stained with blood.

The young man with the short sword stuck in his abdomen struggled to pick them up and, without hesitation, threw them at himself.

Cut open the flesh and squeeze out the blood.

This was originally a "gift" that Ryunosuke Uryuu was going to give to Sakugetsu, but now he has used it all on himself.

In the distance, Shuoyue watched Yusheng Ryunosuke's self-harm, her golden pupils unwavering.

The panel of the Destiny Compendium slowly unfolds.
