A thousand years ago, Fenrir and Magus enacted a play. From their vision of the future, they knew that Fenrir's <ORIGIN STATE> will go berserk. It would lead to chaos as he will begin to wreck havoc uncontrollably. The only way to remedy it is for them to be complete—Shiro—again.
When the two merged, that was when Shiro's memories of the past were cut off. He didn't know how it concluded. Only, it was evident that he succeeded with the plan.
Never had he expected that th...

“Uhm… I will forget what I’ve heard from earlier.”
Earlier, Loki-sama called Lady Riveria ‘Mama’. My instincts blared when I saw her send a threatening look to Loki-sama. But, it’s entirely reasonable.
It has been a week since I started exchanging notes with her. For some people, Lady Riveria is as such. I saw her gentleness for Aiz-san and her strict side during our meeting.
“Ahem. Let’s start. We stopped at…” I opened my booklet up t...

A cute kitten.
It is an adjective that was supposed to be the furthest from Kal'tsit. Her eternally cold expression and straight tone made her similar to" machines instead. Such was the burden carried by her over the course of two thousand years.
However, Kal'tsit is showing a completely different self right now.
Shiro noticed the originum crystal on her shoulder. It became noticeable in the midst of her naked body. She retained her unmoved looks, but a thin smile was drawn ...

“This is making me tense…”
“You struck gold yet again, Nobu-kun.”
Hearing that, my excitement began to bubble up.
“Ubiquitous… It temporarily bestows the developmental ability of a weapon.”
Hephaestus-sama began explaining its effects.
[Ubiquitous] is a one-of-a-kind ability. By using a certain weapon, I will temporarily gain the developmental ability related to it.
Immediately, I tried its effects. I took out [Sora] and held...

Everything happened within fifteen seconds. It was so fast and shocking that Goetia couldn't even properly react until now. The combined attack of everyone stunned him.
More than that, their UR-rated items and abilities restricted him.
[Gungir] anchored itself to Goetia's form.
[Longinus] inflicted anti-divinity properties that Goetia has.
[Tyrant Eye] enveloped him in the form of chains.
[Void Archive] inflicted 'destructive' laws to his current form.

Few days ago, Soma Fmailia ushered in a reformation. The previous captain was internally detained along with some of their officers. It couldn’t escape the eyes of Hermes Familia.

Shiro hissed as he saw Goetia being beat up with the Servants' cooperation. The rayshifting technology of Chaldea reached its peak, thus allowing the remaining staff in Chaldea to view Ritsuka's fights remotely.
"I see you have some questions to ask." He looked at Davinci. "You're free to ask me. For example, 'Do you know Romani's true identity?' The answer to that is yes."
"You're great at reading minds."

Nobu served as their gatekeeper.

Ritsuka Fujimaru is in the midst of fighting [The Spider] when a stranger appeared. She was wearing a strange magenta combat suit. With a single 'kick', or so she calls it, she banished it.
It is a ridiculous sight. It was a sight out of a sentai show. What's more ridiculous is that it truly happened in their eyes. Everyone—be it the staff from Chaldea or Ritsuka and the servants—went silent.

“What a haul.”
I couldn’t control my smile. The familia’s network found the remaining materials for gunpowder. The delivery took two days to reach Orario.
During that time, I organized the manual machines for sizing and loading.
(A/N: Sizing refers to equalizing the base size of bullet chambers. Meanwhile, loading involves putting gunpowder and placing the bullet itself.)
After that, I got to work. I spent an entire day processing around 180 b...

When it comes to training, I learned something. To make it more effective, the student should be able to find the answer themselves. This is how Kiyoshiro-san—the swordsman who honed my sixth sense—taught me.
Unfortunately, I am not talented in mystic swordsmanship. I could not trigger mysteries in that way. Only with magic techniques could I do so.

Orario.
A unique city that existed in the center of Gekai. It bore witness to many heroes’ awakenings. It serves as the lid to the Dungeon—a breeding ground for monsters.
I came to a realization.
“No matter what world it is, there are undercurrents beneath its normal facade.”
Who could’ve thought there would be someone crazy enough to destroy Orario and free the monsters?
The darkness this city hid is just as evil as my world. Being part of the said vil...

Orario’s greatest mage. She could turn an entire floor into either a blazing or chilling hell. She could also provide support through her magic.
Undoubtedly, she is one of the main reasons why Loki Familia reached its spot. Having magic could easily turn the tables against their enemies, more so when they are inside an unpredictable dungeon.

It'll return to its real form once Alice leaves this world.

An event that happens once every three months. It calls forth every single god available and registered to Orario. This meeting determines the direction of Orario’s development and its adventurers. It is when the epithets (aliases) of the newbie adventurers are decided. Horrendous names like “Angel of Judgement” and “Dark Demon Warrior” would occasionally appear, though adventurers from high-level familias were spared.
Who would offend a strong familia by giving...
