Magician in Type-Moon

Page 139

Conceptual addition!

Destiny!

Qin Shi Huang, now afflicted by the nightmare energy, had reached the strength of the crown rank.

This body has long been transformed into a heroic spirit.

Real Name Liberation!

"First Emperor!! In this narrow crevice between heaven and earth, humanity should be like this, and a new law shall be implemented here!"

The emperor is founded on the service of all people and safeguards the rule of law for all people.

It is used as a curse-like binding force to coerce the entire world.

That's right, he's going to issue a new law for this world—

"This world must break away from pan-human history and find its own future!"

Endless nightmare energy surged from behind him, spreading rapidly like a thick black fog.

Nine tripods appeared beside him.

The five elements correspond to the Yang principle, while the four elements represent the Yin number.

When Yin and Yang unite, all under Heaven will submit!

The Greater Grail, as the core of this ritual, became the source of endless nightmare energy.

The pitch-black aura swept across the world like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping the sky and the earth.

At this moment, the First Emperor Ying Zheng drastically altered the course of this world, now renamed the Great Qin, and the entire world obeyed him.

“What tyrannical behavior…” Zuzheng exclaimed from the side.

"Among the records in history books, I am a tyrant, aren't I? Is there any need to mention such a trivial matter?" The First Emperor waved his sleeve, and the nightmare energy wafted around him.

"No need to hide it anymore. If you want to vomit blood, just vomit. Why go to such lengths for this world? You've already exhausted all your power, haven't you?" Zu Zheng laughed.

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Your actions are becoming a bit too ambitious and difficult to manage. This world doesn't seem to have completely broken free from pan-human history," Zu Zheng said, sensing the fluctuations in the air.

"The person you chose arrived ten years in advance. This world is special, and the best time to divide it will be ten years from now. As for now, let's just leave it in the ten-year history of humankind and consider it as extracting some nutrients."

The First Emperor said with some displeasure.

"My chief retainer must be jumping up and down in panic right now, after all, a new Lostbelt has suddenly appeared, and it's even the kind whose location they can't detect at the moment..."

Zuzheng seemed to be thinking of something happy and laughed.

Qin Shi Huang Zheng did not respond to Zu Zheng's words, but walked step by step toward the Great Grail, completely merging his body into it. At this moment, he needed to rest.

Zu Zheng looked at his heteromorphic form and couldn't help but shake his head, sighing:

"Can time really change people so much? Why has my two thousand years passed by so drastically without any change?"

......

London at this moment.

One intelligence report after another was urgently sent to the office of the Minister of Law and Politics.

"What exactly happened? Why have the number of rioting phantom beasts and magical beasts in the Albion Tomb suddenly increased by dozens of times?"

"And fantasy invasions of varying degrees have occurred in different regions?"

Barthelo Loreleia said irritably, rubbing his forehead.

She now feels a strong urge to kill one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors to vent her anger.

"Forget it, first urgently recall all the magicians waiting in the Great Tomb, then you all go and cause trouble for Trambero in my name, drag him down too, anyway, isn't he always clamoring to redevelop Albion?"

"Understood, I'll go now." Huaye Lingli wanted to run away a little, after all, anyone would be afraid of the head of the Law and Politics Department when he was angry.

"Forget it, wait a minute, no need to bother him. Just inform all the monarchs that I'm going to convene a Grand Council! Transberio can't handle this alone."

Barthelo Loreleia brandished his long whip and said sullenly.

"Understood..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hana no Ryori fled from the office of the Minister of Law and Politics.

I returned to my office.

"The Grand Order decision? Then we'll need to prepare eleven letters. No, it seems Lord El-Melloi has already died in that Holy Grail War, so it'll be ten."

"One letter to Monarch of Transberio, one to Monarch of Soronia... one to Monarch of Baljereta, and the last one to the Monarch of the Department of Astronomy... Who was the Monarch of the Department of Astronomy again?"

Author's closing remarks + leave request

This is not an author's closing statement.

This volume is finally finished.

As for the content, well...

There are many problems, and I am aware of them myself.

First, there's the issue of the main character's limited screen time, which has been a point of contention, and then there's the fact that the first volume of this book is starting to resemble an ensemble piece.

I apologize for this; it was my first time writing, and I wasn't very skilled.

This is entirely my own fault; I didn't properly define the allocation of plot points from the beginning.

Even when conceiving the plot, the protagonist is often excluded from the story due to his weak combat abilities. (Sometimes, in pursuit of plausibility, the structural composition of the novel is overlooked.)

To think that a 17-year-old magician could tear apart a Heroic Spirit with his bare hands is something I simply cannot fathom. (Unless it's some kind of cheat code.)

Then there's the issue of the protagonist's character design.

I apologize again.

This problem started in the prologue; that chapter set the tone too rigidly, leaning towards a somber and resentful direction.

So much so that when we tried to add some scenes for him later, there was a sense of disconnect.

However, because the problem arose so early, by the time it was noticed, the text had already reached tens of thousands of words, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue writing.

......

I am very dissatisfied with the content of this volume.

Many of my ideas simply cannot be fully expressed in my writing.

For example, in the part about Kenneth's death, I wanted to write about his sense of fate and contrast, but after reading it myself, I did feel that his death was somewhat hasty.

Then there's the Lancer revenge scene, and many people complained about why so many supporting characters were included...

My idea was to use passersby to create atmosphere, but perhaps my writing skills weren't up to par...

There are actually many other miscellaneous details, such as Kirei Kotomine and Tokiomi Tohsaka and Risei Kotomine, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel...

There are many parts that I feel are not well written.

I apologize, my writing skills are insufficient, and I couldn't handle it well.

Then there's the plot. The original outline has been completely changed, with many plots deleted and new things added, but the main storyline has remained the same.

The identity of the mysterious man has been revealed in the latest chapter: he is Qin Shi Huang.

But it's not the Qin Shi Huang from the Lostbelt, but the Qin Shi Huang from the Singularity.

His original source is the interlude of Qin Shi Huang in FGO (the Qin Shi Huang in this game and the interlude are not the same person).

"If I witness a defeat that I cannot stand idly by, I might decide to establish a new Qin Dynasty in the pan-human history. It is also possible that I will once again become your enemy."

This statement was actually fulfilled in the interlude of Emperor Zheng, who used the three months before the Lostbelt was destroyed to create a singularity called Great Qin.

This interlude is quite interesting; interested readers can search for it and take a look. There's even a comic book version of it.

(I feel like I didn't express myself clearly, oh well...)

......

Then there's the question of whether Matou Ike was actually a time traveler...

How should I put it? His character setting is actually a bit cliché, but the answer is definitely yes.

However, his character design isn't actually that simple, well... that's a bit of a rambling.

Of course, I will write about his time travel later.

It all depends on whether I can write it well, sadly!

......

This book was quite difficult to write. I had to look up information as I wrote to ensure accuracy (some settings I vaguely remembered, but couldn't find when I looked them up), and some settings even needed repeated verification because they might have been fabricated...

In short, the Type-Moon universe is too complicated, but that's also what we love about it, isn't it?

Finally, I need to take two days off to organize the outline for the new volume. There shouldn't be any new chapters on August 8.4th and 8.5th, and updates will resume on August 8.6th.

And thank you all for your support. I wish you all a happy life.

Chapter 180 Double Eyes

Magic is a phenomenon that transcends common sense.

To make something that can be done with common sense happen in an uncommon way.

The essence of magic is the imitation or substitution of natural phenomena. It involves learning the mysterious, practicing the mysterious, and recreating the mysterious, but it cannot create the mysterious itself.

A magician is someone who possesses a magic circuit and can perform magic.

A magician forms a conversion circuit in his body, draws magic power from the outside world, and creates magic power that can be used by humans.

This switching circuit is called the Magic Circuit.
