The world I hear is completely different from yours.

Tian Qing: "......."

Holy crap!! Who did this spoiler?! Don't they know I hate spoilers more than anything?!

.................

P.S. I've been quite busy at the beginning of the month, so updates have been irregular these past few days.

...............

P.S. Since everyone says that many people have written about the Holy Grail War, it's obvious that there should be many transmigrators in the Holy Grail world, right? (Serious face).

Chapter Three: The First Transmigrator to Withdraw from the War

Internet cafes are for-profit establishments open to the public, providing internet access, and are also the dream destinations for countless mischievous children. Tempted by various games, novels, and videos, many children engage in a battle of wits and strategy with their parents, hoping to sneak into an internet cafe for a few hours. As a result, many parents vehemently criticize and condemn internet cafes, seemingly intending to turn them into "all the evil in the world."

However, besides being the home of countless internet addicts and gamblers in online forums, internet cafes are also the fastest platform for accessing all kinds of information in the information society. Thanks to the advanced networks of modern society, almost all social information can be obtained on an ordinary computer in any internet cafe. Therefore, for transmigrators eager to acquire information, internet cafes have surpassed libraries and are a must-visit place for every transmigrator who has traveled to the modern world.

After leaving the fast food restaurant, Tian Qing immediately rushed into the nearest internet cafe, logged onto the internet, and wanted to see how those comics that revealed so many plot secrets came about. If Tian Qing's guess was correct, the time traveler who deliberately leaked the magician's secrets was probably having a hard time right now, wasn't he?

In the world of Type-Moon, the power of magic is inextricably linked to "mystery." In the words of the original work, "Concealment is the essence of magic. The more people know and use it, the more dispersed and weakened its power becomes. This is because the essence of magic is the use of limited power within the source; therefore, the more people use it, the weaker the power each person receives." For example, if one person uses ten parts of power, it will unleash its full potential; but if one hundred people use it, it will only unleash one-tenth of its power.

This is why, throughout history, all magicians have tried their best to hide their existence, in order to prevent the world from knowing about magic. Once someone violates this ironclad rule, they will be immediately purged by the Magic Association.

This unwritten rule was also fully reflected in the Holy Grail War. Whenever Servants and Masters wreaked havoc in Eastwood City, the Church, as the overseer of the Holy Grail War, would always come out afterward to clean up the mess, repairing some things and brainwashing others, thus covering up the whole incident.

"Another transmigrator who doesn't pay attention in class! Although these comics don't explicitly depict the spells, so they don't significantly weaken the power of the magic, the various descriptions have seriously violated the taboos of magicians. This is practically a magician trying to fight the entire world single-handedly—ignorance is bliss! Most importantly, does this transmigrator really not know that the three great families who planned the Holy Grail War did so to prevent the mainstream magic association from knowing that the Holy Grail ritual could approach the origin of the world? They specifically hid in Eastwood City in the Far East to hold the Holy Grail War, right? You so openly drew and published such a major secret as 'the Holy Grail War can access the origin of the world and realize the Third Magic' throughout the country. Do you really think the three great families and the Holy Church won't kill you to cover it up?" Tian Qing sighed inwardly, expressing her condolences for this guy who didn't pay attention in class.

The computer screen in front of Tian Qing was already filled with news about these comics: the comic book publisher suddenly suffered a fire that destroyed all the original manuscripts and made them impossible to reprint; the local government said the series was discordant and demanded its complete recall; the comic book author and his assistant all died young in accidents; even the Ministry of Culture official who was responsible for reviewing and approving the series' publication was investigated for bribery and eventually died in prison. As a result, many netizens jokingly referred to these comics as the "Death Note" that would bring disaster.

"Hehe, it seems there's one less transmigrator to compete with me for the Holy Grail this time!" Tian Qing shrugged speechlessly, got up and left the internet cafe, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the airport.

"Next, I need to find an identity that doesn't have too many flaws. However, the three major families have been operating in Dongmu City for a long time, so it's quite difficult to pretend to be a local. It seems that the persona of a 'beautiful transfer student who has returned from abroad' is more suitable for me!"

..............

At the highest point of Fukayama-cho in Higashiki City stands a two-story villa with a courtyard, the residence of the Tohsaka family, one of the three major families who orchestrated the Holy Grail War. The Tohsaka family has been major landowners in Higashiki City for generations; they even provided the land for creating the Greater Grail magic circle. Thanks to the substantial rents earned from these lands, the Tohsaka family is extremely wealthy, possessing vast amounts of funds and magical artifacts. They not only support several members of the government as pawns in their control of Higashiki City, but also maintain a very good relationship with the Holy Church in Higashiki City. In short, the Tohsaka family is now the undisputed ruler of Higashiki City.

Around noon, a young man dressed as a priest entered the Tohsaka family's courtyard and headed towards the small Western-style house. However, as he passed through the courtyard, Kirei Kotomine noticed a new tree that seemed strangely familiar to him.

"Wait a minute! That tree looks just like the one I fucked in the manga!" Kirei Kotomine thought expressionlessly. "Although according to the context of the manga, I was actually just trying to break the tree while breaking free of my restraints, the scene in the manga makes it look like I was doing something indescribable to the tree. What's even more infuriating is that that damned author actually added the words 'fucked the tree' next to it!"

"Was Tokiomi deliberately warning me by placing such a tree in the courtyard?" Kirei Kotomine pondered his master Tokiomi Tohsaka's thoughts as he slowly walked into the Tohsaka family's study.

"Kirei, you've arrived!" Tokiomi Tohsaka, dressed in a red suit, elegantly raised a glass of red wine. As the current head of the Tohsaka family, Tokiomi Tohsaka exuded an aristocratic air, even his speech carried an elegance unique to the nobility: "How are those manga going?"

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka himself had never read any of the manga, as the de facto ruler of Higashiki City, the Tohsaka family learned about these manga depicting the Holy Grail War as soon as they appeared on the market.

Chapter Four: The Affairs of Reincarnators and Transmigrators

"It's all been taken care of. The publishers and distributors involved have all taken appropriate measures and will never publish them again. At the same time, the government has taken measures to prevent these comics from appearing in public or on the internet. Now, only a small number of physical copies remain in the hands of ordinary people. In addition, we have confirmed with various trade ports that these comics are currently only circulating in Eastwood City and have not spread abroad. Their impact domestically is not significant, and they should not attract the attention of other magicians." Kirei Kotomine replied calmly, even though he had read all of these comics and knew everything he had done as described in them, including how he killed his master.

"Speaking of which, this is quite an imaginative manga. The story development is very interesting. The author must be a very talented person," Tokiomi Tohsaka said calmly to Kirei Kotomine while elegantly sipping his red wine. Tokiomi Tohsaka had naturally read these manga as well. Although he admitted that many details in these manga corresponded to the current situation, as a magician who had witnessed many strange things, he still did not think that these manga were "predicting the future." However, Tokiomi Tohsaka was quite curious about the author of that manga.

Kirei Kotomine understood Tokiomi Tohsaka's meaning, and continued, "All the author's assistants have been dealt with, but the author himself died before we arrived, and his brain was completely destroyed, making it impossible to extract any information. Therefore, we have no way of knowing how that manga author knew about our plan."

"I see..." Tokiomi Tohsaka fell silent for a long time before continuing, "Kirei, have you found your feelings now?"

Kirei Kotomine, who was naturally devoid of emotion, shook his head expressionlessly: "Not yet, but perhaps the method described in that manga could give me a little pleasure!"

So you're planning to try and stab me? Tokiomi Tohsaka cursed inwardly as he looked at his expressionless disciple, then ordered, "Kirei, contact the head of the Matou family for me. I plan to have a serious talk with him about Sakura."

....................

In a large mansion in Dongmu City, a spirited young woman with brown hair and brown eyes was carrying a bamboo sword on her back, swaggering towards her room. The maids and bodyguards along the way bowed respectfully: "Welcome home, young lady!" As the young lady of the Fujimura Group, a yakuza organization in Dongmu City, this was the first time in days that Fujimura Taiga had voluntarily returned to her home, which she had always disliked.

Fujimura Taiga went into his room, tossed aside the bamboo sword on his back, and collapsed onto the soft bed. He looked helplessly at the wristwatch on his wrist, visible only to himself: "Speaking of which, transmigrators really have more freedom. They can even freely use the plot to draw comics. In comparison, if we reincarnators reveal anything about the plot to NPCs, we'd probably be wiped out by the main god immediately, right? But correspondingly, these transmigrators are really weak. I just casually tested them, and I shattered that guy's soul. Doesn't he have any cheat codes or some kind of powerful backer? No wonder the main god only gave me a paltry 100 points after completing this 'kill the transmigrator' side quest!"

Then the energetic girl pouted unhappily: "Speaking of which, why does the God Space stipulate that if you want to upgrade to a four-star reincarnator, you must have a 1V1 duel with a certain enemy? Although I really want to kill that guy, that's true."

On the girl's wristwatch, a line of large, blood-red characters was clearly visible: Main Mission One, Deathmatch! Kill another Reincarnator in the world of the Holy Grail War to upgrade to a four-star Reincarnator. Main Mission Two, Champion! Win the Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail to upgrade to a four-star Reincarnator!

"Why did the God assign me Fujimura Taiga's body? While getting a body of the same gender and age is certainly nice, this body is far too weak! Not only can I not unleash my full potential, but my magic circuits are barely there! What if that bastard on the other side gets a magus's body and comes after me with a Heroic Spirit?" Thinking this, Fujimura Taiga reluctantly got up, picked up his bamboo sword, and headed towards the Fujimura clan's training dojo, intending to train and improve his strength. "So, in the end, I still have to rely on myself? It would be great to win with a Heroic Spirit, but it seems the God isn't giving me that chance!"

..................

In the Matou family's underground workshop, the current head of the Matou family, Matou Zanken, asked with a forced smile, "Kariya, didn't you sever ties with the family because you hated the Matou family's ugly magic? Why have you suddenly returned?"

Kariya Matou, the second son of Zoken Matou, coldly looked at the ugly old man in front of him: "That girl named Sakura in the family, was she sent by the Tohsaka family? What do you plan to do with her? Are you going to use those ugly insects again?"

"This is an internal matter of the Matou family, isn't it? What right do you, an outsider who claims to have severed ties with the family, have to interfere? Besides, isn't it normal for that girl, as a member of the Matou family, to be learning and spending time with Crest Worms?" Matou Zangen replied, his words devoid of any fatherly affection.

"So you're planning to send that little girl to participate in the Holy Grail War?!" Matou Kariya's eyes widened. As the only conscience in the Matou family for the past hundred years, he simply couldn't condone such behavior.

"So, you're going to take her place? If you can win the Holy Grail, I'll return Sakura to the Tohsaka family." Matou Zanken revealed a sarcastic smile, secretly laughing to himself. Just as he thought, you made the same choice as depicted in that manga! Although Matou Kariya claimed to have severed ties with the Matou family, Matou Zanken had been secretly monitoring him, so he was certain Kariya hadn't read those manga.

After a long silence, Matou Kariya nodded.

"Let's begin. Come with me to the insect pool. I need to add some magic circuits for you," Matou Zanken said calmly, turning and walking towards the basement.

Matou Kariya followed his "father" into the darkness. No one saw the faint smile on his face or the wristwatch on Matou Kariya's wrist that represented a reincarnator.

Chapter 5: The Relics of Clear Sky

"That night, you didn't reject me; that night, you hurt me; that night, you summoned me..." Tian Qing hummed an old love song as she walked out of the room, in a very good mood. Her current identity was that of the niece of a foreign tycoon, accompanying her uncle to Dongmu City to investigate investment matters. They planned to invest in a large project in Dongmu City in the future, and had even paid a deposit as a sign of sincerity. Therefore, the Dongmu City government was very hospitable and specially provided Tian Qing and her cheap "uncle" with a rather nice private villa as temporary accommodation for these two "investors" who had traveled from afar.

"It seems my divine body is quite attractive! Although I don't have divine power, at least I won't lose to those magicians in terms of magic circuits. It seems this Greater Grail knows its value!" Tianqing raised her left hand, on which three red Command Seals were clearly displayed. They had suddenly appeared on the back of Tianqing's hand this morning, signifying that Tianqing had been chosen by the Greater Grail to become the Master of this Holy Grail War.

Before the Holy Grail War begins, the massive magic circle buried deep beneath Eastwood City—known as the "Greater Grail"—selects qualified mages within the city as their Masters. Generally, the Greater Grail prioritizes mages from the Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Matou families, then continues to select powerful mages from Eastwood City. If, by the time the summoning of Servants is completed, seven Servants are still not gathered, the Greater Grail will disregard their qualifications and randomly select one or two lucky individuals as Masters to make up the difference.

In the original work, this is how it was done. Before the summoning of Heroic Spirits began, the magicians of the three starter families, such as Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kariya Matou, had already obtained Command Seals. Only then did it come to Waver, who stole the Holy Relic from abroad and sneaked into Eastwood City, and Kenneth, who came to participate in the competition under his own name with his fiancée, and other magicians with certain magical circuit qualifications. It was precisely because they did not gather seven Masters until the end that the Greater Grail made Ryunosuke Uryu, a guy who knew nothing about magic but just happened to draw a summoning magic circle, the last Master.

In other words, the position of Master who can participate in the Holy Grail War is actually like a big sale in a supermarket—first come, first served, and if you're late, you won't get one.

"I wonder which unlucky soul got replaced by me?" Tian Qing thought absentmindedly as she walked into the basement. Inside the already drawn magic circle, a tattered fragment of calligraphy and painting was firmly held in place by a small nail. According to the unscrupulous antique dealer Tian Qing had encountered, his great-grandfather had stolen from thirteen Han Dynasty tombs to find this fragment, which was supposedly an authentic work by the invincible Lü Bu.

Tian Qing initially didn't believe it either. Was she kidding? Lu Bu, that bloodthirsty bastard, could actually do calligraphy? This antique dealer probably just picked up some junk from some backwater and was trying to make up a story to fool people, right? Just as the antique dealer was stammering and unable to answer, to Tian Qing's utter surprise, the tattered fragment of calligraphy actually spoke with a strong Inner Mongolian accent, insisting that it was definitely written by Lu Bu himself, and that Diao Chan was even dancing beside him in simple clothes!

Who would have thought that this antique dealer, who is known for selling counterfeit goods, would one day happen to encounter genuine items!

And so, Tian Qing immediately decided to spend a large sum of money to buy this old, worn-out piece of calligraphy and painting.

The antique dealer probably never expected that someone would actually be willing to pay a high price for a secondhand item he had acquired cheaply from others. Overjoyed, he even gave Tianqing a small nail that was said to have come from the palace years ago, so that Tianqing could secure the old, worn-out piece of calligraphy and painting, lest it be blown away by a breeze when Tianqing was summoning a heroic spirit, which would be quite embarrassing.

"It's a sure thing! This time it's definitely a sure thing! With Lu Bu's martial prowess and my intelligence, it'll be easy to gain some advantages in this Holy Grail War. How can I possibly lose when the God of War Lu Bu is right in front of me?! There's no White Gate Tower here!" Tian Qing thought gleefully. Although all the Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War were formidable experts, Lu Bu's strength wouldn't be much weaker than theirs. Moreover, Tian Qing, as a transmigrator, knew the weaknesses of those Heroic Spirits inside and out!

.............

Inside the Fujimura Clan's dojo, the energetic young girl Fujimura Taiga was angrily brandishing her bamboo sword, her hand completely blank, without a trace of a Command Seal: "Damn God! The blind Holy Grail! It didn't give me a Command Seal, now I can't even summon a Heroic Spirit! How am I supposed to complete this deathmatch mission to advance to a four-star Reincarnator?! My strength is no match for those Heroic Spirits right now!"

Amidst his continuous complaints, a sharp sword aura instantly appeared on Fujimura Taiga's bamboo sword, easily slicing through the targets covered in thick iron sheets in the dojo: "Damn it! This time, they don't allow us to bring any equipment to the deathmatch mission. If I still had my Immortal Execution Sword, I would have already cut that damned Greater Grail magic circle underground in half!"

Suddenly, Fujimura Taiga seemed to remember something: "That's right! Command Seals can be transferred! In the original work, wasn't it the tragic guy, Chief Kenneth, who was cheated on by his own Heroic Spirit, who was only forced to transfer his Command Seals to his fiancée after being tortured by her? Okay, that's settled then! I'll go find that cuckolded guy later and, before he can summon his Heroic Spirit, end his life full of forgiveness in a clean and decisive way!"

Without further ado, Fujimura Taiga immediately grabbed his bamboo sword and rushed towards the Hyatt Hotel, the tallest building in Higashiki City.

However, just as Fujimura Taiga ran out of her house, she suddenly stopped, looking at the sky with suspicion. In that dim sky, countless immense powers, imperceptible to ordinary people, were continuously converging on various points in Eastwood City, in order to fully activate the Greater Grail underground and begin the summoning ritual for Heroic Spirits!

"What's going on? These Masters all started the summoning ritual ahead of schedule? Is it still that guy who spoiled the plot in the manga?!" Fujimura Taiga cursed angrily, his heart filled with rage at the spoilers!

PS First update

Chapter Seven: Thus, the Holy Grail War began to change.

Some were happy while others were sad. Some were so shocked by their own heroic spirits that they were speechless, while others didn't even see a shadow of a heroic spirit.

In a remote residential area of ​​Dongmu City, the crazed serial killer Ryunosuke Uryu casually tossed aside an old book he had found in his family's old warehouse. Looking at the motionless, blood-red summoning circle, his eyes were filled with disappointment: "What? It turns out this stuff is all a lie. Where in the world can you draw a weird pattern and conjure up a living person? Those comics are all made up, even though they did force me to change my identity and job to evade the police!"

Around the residential area, countless police officers were rapidly converging, rushing towards the blood-stained house under orders from someone above! In the original story, these incompetent police officers naturally couldn't find Uryu Ryunosuke's whereabouts. However, thanks to the sudden appearance of those manga adaptations, almost all magicians knew Uryu Ryunosuke's Master identity, which ultimately led to his demise! Uryu Ryunosuke's ordinary skills and abilities, which could fool the police, were utterly useless against magicians! Therefore, guided by magic, the police were able to find Uryu Ryunosuke's location so quickly!

Bang! Bang! Bang! After several gunshots, Ryunosuke Uryuu fell into a pool of blood, never understanding why the police hadn't fired warning shots into the air before shooting him dead!

If Ryunosuke Uryuu could summon a Heroic Spirit, he might have been able to escape this calamity with its protection. However, Ameharu's intervention is a major obstacle! With Ameharu's addition, the seven Master positions are now filled. As a result, Ryunosuke Uryuu, who was brought in to make up the numbers in the original story, lost his chance to participate in the Holy Grail War. The bluebearded sorcerer who was madly infatuated with Jeanne d'Arc also missed out on this Holy Grail War.

After a long while, a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a skull mask carefully examined the body of Ryunosuke Uryu and the unactivated summoning circle before speaking into the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Target confirmed dead. No trace of Heroic Spirits at the scene!"

.................

On a high mountain not far from the Tohsaka family compound, the magician assassin Kiritsugu Emiya hid in a patch of grass, staring blankly at the Tohsaka family compound in the distance with dead fish eyes.

In the original work, it was there that one of Kirei Kotomine's Assassin clones launched an invasion of the Tohsaka family. After performing a series of traps with a dazzling display of military-style boxing, it was shot in the head by Tokiomi Tohsaka's Archer Gilgamesh, thus blowing its head off. This made all the Masters participating in the Holy Grail War believe that the Assassin had withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, making it easier for Kirei Kotomine to carry out his secret actions.

Unfortunately, this brilliant plan is now completely useless, as the suddenly appearing comics have revealed everything. As an intelligence expert, Kiritsugu Emiya has naturally read through all those comics, and he immediately feels a sense of shattered dreams. All his hard work participating in the Holy Grail War, using every trick in the book, even sacrificing his beloved wife and mistress's lives, has only resulted in a huge bucket of black, unappealing mud?

Holy crap, are you kidding me? What happened to the Holy Grail that could grant any wish?

It was probably Kiritsugu Emiya's unusually long silence that caught the attention of his assistant. So, over the radio, Kiritsugu's assistant and confidante, Hisayu Maiya, spoke up: "Kiritsugu, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Look at the current plot in the manga, it's not entirely accurate. Didn't we just overhear the police communications? The original Master, Ryunosuke Uryu, is dead. There's no Caster Servant appearing at all! And the Assassin Servant hasn't appeared to fight Archer either, has she?"

Kiritsugu Emiya simply shook his head silently; he knew his own nature all too well. If he were in the situation depicted in the manga, he believed he would make the same choices. As for Assassin not sending clones to attack Archer, wasn't that obvious? If he could obtain these seemingly prophetic manga from the internet, then the Tohsaka family, as the administrators of Eastwood City, certainly had no reason not to! Therefore, under these circumstances, why would Tokiomi Tohsaka use such a completely exposed strategy?

After a long while, Kiritsugu Emiya's voice came through Hisayu Maiya's radio: "Retreat. We're going to the Hyatt Hotel to find Kenneth and Lancer. According to the intelligence we intercepted earlier, Kenneth, this guy who considers himself a 'Clock Tower genius,' doesn't even bother to look at mundane things like comics. He's still staying at that hotel!"

"Regardless, we still need to further confirm the authenticity of those comics!" Kiritsugu Emiya thought to himself. To further confirm the authenticity of those comics, all he needed to do was verify the identities of the participating Servants! After all, the identities of the Servants participating in each Holy Grail War are different. If the identities of the Servants revealed in those comics correspond to reality, then the authenticity of those comics can be perfectly verified!

................

In the Tohsaka family's secret workshop, Tokiomi Tohsaka bowed respectfully to a golden, radiant heroic spirit. "Your Majesty, it is an honor to see you respond to my call."

"Oh? You scum are quite to my liking!" Gilgamesh looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka with great interest. "Especially the way you seem to know me so well. Have you met me before?"

Although Gilgamesh was arrogant and called everyone "scum", it did not mean he was stupid. With his keen observation, he immediately noticed the abnormality of the Master in front of him. Tokiomi Tohsaka's deliberately flattering attitude was not like that of someone meeting him for the first time!

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."

Seeing Tokiomi Tohsaka's silence, Gilgamesh smiled slightly. Although this scoundrel in front of him was ugly and lacked any sense of style, he unexpectedly piqued Gilgamesh's curiosity. So Gilgamesh spoke up again, reminding him, "Don't try to deceive me! My treasury contains many Noble Phantasms that can make people speak honestly!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka gave a helpless wry smile. Sure enough, having such a powerful Heroic Spirit as a master not only greatly increases one's chances of winning, but also makes one quite difficult to deal with!
