Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Author: Soft Fatty

Summary:

Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Fuyuki. I've just become a stand user. I'm currently working at a convenience store in the commercial district. I get off work and go home at 8 o'clock at the latest. I don't smoke, and I only drink lightly. I sleep for eight hours every day. My colleagues say I'm normal. Roland, who traveled to 1994, didn't have any lofty ideals or pursuits. He just wanted to live a peaceful life. It wasn't until the outbreak of the Fourth Holy Grail War that Roland realized that he needed to take some necessary measures after seeing the perverted killer who claimed to be an artist, the magician killer, and the mapo priest who frequently appeared in his life. In short, anyone who disturbs my peaceful life must die.

Chapter 1: First time in Fuyuki City

The Key of All Souls.

This is what Roland called the ring on his hand.

Starting this morning, this gorgeous silver ring suddenly appeared on his hand. Because of its seamless touch as if it had merged with the skin, its presence was extremely low.

When Roland realized it belatedly and took it off in confusion, he discovered that there was something wrong with the ring. It had clearly been placed on the table, but the moment he closed the door, it reappeared in Roland's hand, as if it had never left.

Whether locked in a box or thrown out of the window, the next moment, the ring would reappear on his hand. Just as Roland was still worrying about how to deal with the Key of All Souls and what the function of this thing that looked like a golden finger was, the clock on the wall had already reached noon.

Then, he suddenly traveled through time.

This is why Roland sat alone on the bench at the entrance of the park, wearing only a thin shirt and coat when everyone else was wearing winter clothes.

"So, is this Japan? Or is it the so-called parallel world?"

Roland looked around calmly. He was not an international student, but the signs on the surrounding high-rise buildings and the Japanese words on the street signs clearly revealed this.

Contrary to Roland's expectations, he was not surprised by the fact of traveling through the world itself.

Because, when he came to this new world, Roland, who was wearing the Key of All Souls, had all kinds of abilities and information about the ring emerge in his mind.

The Key of All Souls can not only travel through the world, but also give Roland various supernatural abilities. The reason why he chose Roland is very simple, because he has the qualifications.

This qualification does not refer to Roland's own wisdom, talent, or character, but the qualification to connect with unknown existences in the void.

In a nutshell, Roland is very inspired.

This qualification, which is insignificant and even somewhat dangerous in real life, is the reason why the Key of All Souls binds Roland.

The Key of All Spirits contains many contracted spirits. They used to be some special beings. Some were gods that existed in the distant past, some were abnormal but powerful mortals, or even diverse races from other worlds. Except for a few special cases, most of these contracted spirits were in a state of half-dead, not even remnant souls.

In order to preserve their power and erase their will, the owner of the Key of All Spirits can use a contract to obtain the power of the contracted spirits at a certain price, and completely digest them after meeting certain conditions, making the power of the contracted spirits completely his own.

But in the final analysis, the Key of All Spirits is just a prop without self-awareness. Its power is incomplete when there is no user to drive it. After all, the contract is between two parties from the beginning.

As they wander aimlessly through the heavens and myriad worlds, mechanically searching for masters and creating new contract spirits, there are always some lucky contract spirits that, by chance, are not successfully collected after being created and are scattered throughout the worlds.

As the person chosen by the Key of All Souls, Roland's mission is to collect these scattered contracted spirits and improve his own authority until he becomes the true master of the Key of All Souls.

In many ways, the Key of All Souls can be regarded as an excellent golden finger. Although it has a goal, it is not mandatory. If he is willing to give up, he can live in this world for the rest of his life.

As a simple prop, the Key of All Souls would not impose any compulsory tasks on Roland, or any punishment for failure to complete them. The message it conveyed was only about how to increase his authority.

Apart from the fact that the first time he crossed over without any warning was a bit unexpected, Roland was very satisfied with the fact that he had obtained the golden finger. After all, he had no attachments in his original world.

"But is this really a different world?"

Roland felt a little embarrassed by the gazes from the people around him. Because it was at the entrance of the park, there were still some people coming in and out. Roland, who was only wearing a thin coat, was still somewhat conspicuous in the eyes of the people around him who had already started to put on thicker clothes.

If he wasn't just in his early twenties, and his age, which had not yet lost his childishness even in the ivory tower of the university, could serve as a cover-up, the curious looks cast at him would probably have increased several times.

After nearly half an hour of observation, Roland could preliminarily conclude that this was a world that had entered the modern era. Although he didn't know what the differences were in terms of historical and cultural development, judging from the level of technology, it should be earlier than his original world.

Judging by the clothes of passersby and the housewives playing with their children in the park, there shouldn't be any widely known supernatural abilities... at least not on the surface.

"Anyway, let's gather some information first."

Roland stood up and walked into the park. On a bench near the flower bed, an office worker in a suit had packed up his lunch box, stood up from the bench, and hurried out of the park.

He obviously had no intention of picking up the newspaper that he had folded and placed aside. Although Roland had only read newspapers when he was a child, he still knew a little about the status that this seemingly thin paper once had in the media.

In the previous half hour, no one took out their mobile phone to play, whether it was the mothers who were quietly watching the children playing or chatting on the side, or the office workers who came to this pleasant park for lunch or meals. Even the office workers who were very tight on time only used the watch on their wrist or the tall flagpole-like wall clock in the center of the lawn to confirm the time.

This was a very fresh sight for him who lived in a modern society. You know, in the old residential area where he lived before he traveled through time, where there were almost no young people, there were also a few people playing short videos at high volume among the groups of elderly people.

If nothing unexpected happens, this newspaper should be able to give him a lot of information. Even so, Roland did not expect to solve his doubts about the world he lives in through a newspaper.

Roland unfolded the newspaper and sat on a chair. He used the large newspaper to cover his expression while scanning the Chinese characters he knew.

The first thing that caught his attention was the small black words above the newspaper column. Next to the numbers showing the date, the words "Heisei 6" were written in brackets.

"1994, that was the bubble economy period, right?"

Roland subconsciously started reading from the left, and was dazzled by the densely packed pseudonyms and the small notices separated into columns. For someone without a language foundation, reading a newspaper with text as the main carrier is not a good experience.

The goddess of fate always seems to like to reveal her cunning side inadvertently.

Just when Roland thought he would gain nothing and began to pay attention to the headlines in the newspapers that were mainly written in Chinese characters, he saw a headline.

——Fuyuki City 11.2 degrees highest in history

To the right of the title, a sign-like font printed in black print states the name of the newspaper.

Fuyuki News.

He was very familiar with this term. In other words, although he did not dare to call himself a fan of the Moon, Roland had also watched quite a few works in this series.

But if he really traveled to Fuyuki City as an ordinary person, even though Roland thought he was still calm, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

Roland had already heard a lot about the daily life of the nuclear war in Fuyuki City.

Although the exact year is unknown, judging from the era, the current time point is undoubtedly the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Roland took a deep breath and exhaled, forcing himself to calm down. But even so, his crazy emotions could only fade into a trance.

According to convention, even if there is a real trial, shouldn't it generally start with High School of the Dead? Isn't it a bit beyond the scope to put a normal person's first stop in the Type-Moon world?

The silver lining was that after flipping through the newspapers, Roland did not find any news that would cause a sensation, such as a gas explosion, except for a small column on the side reporting on murders. The current Fourth World War must not have officially begun yet.

But this did not serve as a comfort. On that winter afternoon, the ruthless attitude of the north wind was just like Roland's current state of mind, which was gradually falling to the bottom in the bleakness.

He zipped up his coat to the top and wrapped himself as tightly as possible to preserve his body temperature. Roland touched his stomach and realized another more realistic problem.

Compared to the illusory Fourth Holy Grail War that was far away in the horizon, where to stay tonight and what to eat for the next meal were the issues that needed his more attention.

He now suffers from the triple debuffs of not being able to speak the language, being an unregistered resident, and being penniless, and he is also in a strange city. After getting rid of the novelty of time travel, fear and terror about the future immediately surged into his heart.

Only when people are in danger can they realize the beauty that is easily overlooked in peaceful life.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand trembling in the wind, Roland's face darkened. He almost doubted whether this was a hint from God. He had just traveled through time and space, and this was what happened to him?

"Besides, the achievement of being a homeless person can't be earned here, right? Shouldn't it be on the other side of the continent? High school students are a specialty of Japan, right?"

Roland patted his face as he spoke these words, trying to dispel his anxiety. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death when something happened. Moreover, even if he was given a chance to give up the Key of All Souls, he would still choose to hold on to it.

No one would ignore a miracle that is so close at hand.

Moreover, he still has a chance to reverse his fate.

Roland stroked the ring on his hand, feeling the message conveyed by the other party.

Key of All Souls

——Holding Contract Spirit: None

——Number of times to extract the spirit: 1

This ring is not a wishing machine, nor can it freely select the desired abilities like the convenient main god. However, it is a tool that can create spirit bonds in the heavens and all worlds. It is impossible for it to have no perception of the people it chooses, right?

Roland did not desire the power to destroy the world, just as Qi Ling was not a Doraemon without any price, but he longed for an opportunity.

"Extract the contract spirit."

Roland pondered for a while, silently issued an order in his heart, closed his eyes, and waited for fate to come.

Then, a chaotic silver-white light appeared in his closed eyes, shrinking, twisting, and conveying the result.

——Kirin Kirara Yoshikage

Chapter 2 The Abilities of the Spirit

"Roland-kun, right? Your Japanese is really good... Have you lived here for a long time?"

"Yes."

"It's amazing that you came to Fuyuki City to live independently at such a young age. You have worked part-time before. Young people should want to live in big cities. Won't you feel uncomfortable in a small place like Fuyuki City?"

"It's okay." Roland paused, as if he felt something was wrong, and added: "The place where I lived before was a small town called Morioh Town. Compared to it, Fuyuki City is already very powerful."

This was a simple interview. The convenience store manager chatted casually with Roland while observing him. He was neatly dressed, had a healthy complexion, and sat upright. Even though he was very young, he could see the excellent qualities that only a good upbringing could bring to the young man.

His vision is not wrong, this is a good kid.

"Well, one last question, can you come to work today?"

Roland put on a long apron and began to follow the store manager to familiarize himself with his work environment.

Putting aside the Holy Grail War, if one wants to survive in this world, a corresponding identity is quite necessary.

Contrary to what most people think, in daily life, this country does not require many identification documents. Therefore, as long as Roland can solve the problem of funding, integrating into this country with his current level will be as easy as a drop of water into the ocean.

For that, he needed a job.

Although the impact of the current bubble economy bursting on society will still continue for a long time, the so-called lost twenty years has just begun. Companies are laying off a large number of employees and the industry is also in recession. It is really not a good time to find a job.

But perhaps because Fuyuki City is not very large, and the new capital construction plan has acted as a shot in the arm to revitalize the economy, it is still relatively peaceful here, and the wages are relatively not high.

With his fluent Japanese and various details, just as Roland predicted, the kind store manager did not mind the fact that he had no identity card, but treated him as a young man who had immigrated to a small town in the past and then came out to make his own way due to difficulties.

"Yes, that's how it is arranged. The classification and placement of goods are very important... You are amazing. It's rare to find young people like you who work hard and have strong abilities."

Seeing the manager's admiring expression, Roland nodded indifferently, because, for him now, this was a matter of course.

Although there are still some unsatisfactory aspects, judging from the results, he has drawn a good card.

Roland glanced at the Key of All Souls in his hand, and the information on it automatically appeared in his mind.

——Contracted Spirit [Kirara Yoshikage] (Already contracted)

He was once a nightmare hovering over Morioh Town, but after being torn apart by the alley of no return, his fate of not even being allowed to reincarnate has twisted his remains into a force of obsession. Whoever can eliminate his obsession will have this power permanently belong to that person.

Symptoms: Your nails will grow at an abnormal rate. The greater the mental stress, the faster the growth rate.

Impact: You acquire the famous hand fetish of Kirara Yoshikage in his mortal life. At the same time, you will feel very eager for a peaceful and regular stable life. Once any good or bad changes in this stable environment occur, you will feel extremely anxious and uneasy. During the contract, you will become self-disciplined.

Empower:

The secret of third place: You have gained a bonus in knowledge and work ability equivalent to the level of Kira Yoshikage during his lifetime. You know how to keep a proper distance from the people around you and hide yourself perfectly without being looked down upon.

Killer Queen: You gain the Stand Killer Queen.

Good luck: You have much better luck than others. When you encounter difficulties, you can always find opportunities to turn the situation around.

Digestion requirements: Maintain inner peace as the principle of life in the area where the contract is completed for more than one month.

In Roland's eyes, the contracted spirit belonging to Kira Yoshikage emitted a pale yellow light, which was at the second level.

According to the classification given by the Key of All Spirits, there are five levels of contracted spirits: white, yellow, blue, purple and red. The classification of contracted spirits is not entirely based on the strength of their abilities.

The relationship between the contracted spirit and the contractor is not equal. After all, they are the products of the Key of All Spirits that were made into contracted spirits. Except for a few special ones, most of them are caught between life and death and are pathetic beings without even their own will.

The contract is a means to better use the contract spirit. Although a contract spirit with stronger abilities will become a higher-level color in Roland's eyes, it is not absolute.

As the owner of the Key of All Spirits, depending on the price required, the color of the contract spirit may change when the contract spirit is actually obtained. The strictness of the price determines the suitability of the contract spirit in Roland's eyes.

According to the information provided by the Key of All Souls, the danger levels corresponding to different colors can be roughly divided into the following categories.

White, almost harmless, can easily use the contract and complete the requirements to digest the contract spirit, but its abilities are often limited.

Yellow requires a certain price to be paid, but it is still within the scope of reality, and the upper and lower limits of capabilities are very high.

Blue may have specific requirements for the contractor, such as character, will, and ability, which are often excellent, but the digestion conditions are often harsh.

Purple, a special contract spirit existence, the cost is unpredictable, it may be extremely high or extremely low, and the help it brings to the contractor is also the most special.

Red is extremely dangerous and exceeds the limits of the contractor. The ability granted is often the highest level of power of the contractor's original body. Conversely, the price to be paid will cause the contractor to suffer almost irreversible distortion.

The abilities and costs of the second-level contracted spirit Kira Yoshikage were reasonable, and the impact on himself was also within a reasonable range. The only thing that made Roland consider it was the subtle hand fetish.

But let's not talk about that. This contract spirit solved Roland's urgent problem. The secret of the third place seemed to be of little significance, but it perfectly solved the dilemma he was facing. As a substitute for the main combat force, it was an excellent choice in this kind of urban life.

Although it is not as good as the rule-level special Stands like Star Platinum and World, Kira Yoshikage's Stand is one of the best among the many Stands with various strange abilities.

Furthermore, the opponent's digestion conditions were also very simple, which was perfect for Roland, who was just getting started.
