The Black Dragon exists at the peak of Gekai for a long time. It is merely second only to the gods of Tenkai.If they hadn’t interfered and gave birth to the Age of Gods, there wouldn’t have been any heroes left to halt its advance.
Perhaps, it would have been the true ruler of Gekai until the destined hero arrives.
Unfortunately, fate had cut off its future. It received a huge advancement in the form of a cursed technique, yet it was defeated by me i...

Winter only comes once a year, and so is Christmas. It is a celebration of a special day.
Though, one thing comes to the mind:
'What is the best present?'
It is exactly the dilemma Nobu was facing just now.
'A big gift..?'
When he returned home, what greeted him was a big gift box. It was wrapped in a red gift wrapper and a ribbon.
His first instinct is to pry it open with his senses, but to no avail. It is akin to a black hole that ate every light...

“Aiz Wallenstein.”
The moment Aiz entered the Twilight Manor, we immediately heard a reprimanding voice. She called Aiz her complete name, signifying the severity of this matter.
In short, that happens whenever she is completely angry.
“Where are you going just now?”
“...Dungeon. But I changed my mind.”
She pointed out to me who was still outside the gate.

The next place I paid a visit is none other than the Hephaestus Familia home. The one who greeted me first is none other than Haruhime-san.
At this moment, she has fully matured compared to her previous self two years ago. Her fox tail swayed along the wind as she wore a red yukata.

It wasn’t my first time seeing a vague ending. It happened multiple times during the time I was on the Singularity. However, it is different this time.
If the ones on the Singularity are merely cut off, this one feels as if I forgot them.

There was no then.

Once, Galahad is a person who wouldn’t hesitate to take the blow himself for the sake of others. It is his primary reason for choosing the shield—it could both attack his enemies and defend his allies. Even his Noble Phantasm, Lord Camelot, is a manifestation of his impenetrable defense in the face of danger.
It is evident that this characteristic of his is present up until now.

Today is a normal day. With Bocchi-chan’s school closing earlier than Suiko, I could meet with her… rather, her entire band in STARRY.
“You decided to perform in your school?”
“Uhm… Yes. I don’t know if I could pull it off, though…”
I silently stared at my good friend who began fumbling with her hair.

Gekai had seen dozens of extremely talented individuals over the years. It never lacked them in any manner. Even during the supposed end of the Age of Gods, it remained true.
In the past fifteen years, there was only one person who could be called the incarnation of talent itself.
The Silence, Alfia.
Her epithet came from the fact that the battlefield turns silent whenever she is there. She alone is comparable to a huge army due to her magic. The super-short chant [...

A sense of dissonance swept through me as I returned to Orario. This is where I received the opportunity to become stronger. Despite the fact that I arrived here yesterday, it didn’t change the emotions that I felt.
Immediately, I felt several glances land at us. My King didn’t hide her face with the robe, merely using it as an additional garment on top of her silver armor. Needless to say, her beauty is fully revealed.

Cursed techniques.
They are similar yet different from magicka and the entire magic systems in general. They are innate—something resulted from one’s birth origin. Their possessors, people known as sorcerers, would instinctively know how to ‘activate’ it. All that was left is to hone their proficiency until it reaches its limits.
A select few of these cursed techniques possess the power to break the ‘balance’ of a world.

To be honest, he became my friend the moment we realized our similarities.
That is, us being grounded in reality.
More often than not, Sorcerers have an eccentric trait, ranging from slightly weird up to total derangement.
Kenjaku’s belief, at one time, was considered to be the latter.
Nanami-san is one of the few sorcerers who is grounded in reality. He worked long enough and retired for years that he is ‘more reasonable’ for most stuff.

Everything went well after the aftermath. Satoru-san went ahead to the sorcerer clans to explain things while Suimei was left with the aftermath of the magicians’ side.
Yes, I do know about their agreement regarding Tengen’s barrier and such, but I still chose to act in consideration of the future events. It isn’t wrong to say that I cut down a significant chance of the Shinjuku Incident and the Culling Game occurring.
Nevertheless, there are still some unanswered doubts.

Knowing that one of the biggest players of my previous iterations’ disasters was successfully killed by me, it simply feels unreal.
Yes, I have faced Goetia once and succeeded in injuring him, but the ‘impact’ that Kenjaku brought me was that strong.
Of course, I accepted this fact—that I have become this strong. Even without [Ein Sof], I would’ve been able to pull it off with [Etna Daemon Ruina]. It would’ve worked against Kenjaku who is consid...

During the iterations, there are the so-called ‘fixed events’ and ‘chance events’. The former always occurs on the exact date as they did in the previous iterations. One such example is the Shinjuku incident. No matter what, they would occur on October 31.
Meanwhile, chance events are something that is heavily dependent on variables. An example of that is this event.
There was a time when Jogo killed everyone inside a restaurant during their meeting to seal Satoru-san. The...

Out of the five iterations I had in this world, they all ended as this Singularity “collapsed”. It does not work in a literal sense, but the ‘separated timeline’ merges into the Proper Human History. However, in each time I experienced that ending, a single thing remained to be consistent.
