"Gudako, don't come over here!"

"Sakura Matou, stop causing trouble!"

"How could my, Rin Tohsaka's, sister be a pervert!"...

And so, the story of the work begins!

Let the Xinhai War begin...

1. The Birth of One Who Rebels Against Fate!

The basement of the Matou Family in Fuyuki City.

Countless writhing worms raised their hideous mouthparts high, emitting eerie shrieks that made this basement look like a demon's den.

Standing before this den, the little girl looked so terrified and helpless... while the old man standing behind her wore a grin of extreme malice.

What a scene, fit for some kind of hardcore... taste.

The next second, just as the old man let out a cackling laugh like the Big Bad Wolf trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood...

A small, flawless hand suddenly pierced through the old man's chest, leaving him with an expression of utter shock.

His chest had been run through, and a large amount of blood, thick as glue, flowed continuously from his wound, yet the old man still had enough energy to voice his confusion in a tone tinged with terror.

"How is this possible... who... are you!"

The old man known as Zouken Matou knew very well—he was absolutely certain, having checked the little girl behind him just a minute ago—that the girl once known as Tohsaka Sakura, now known as Sakura Matou, could never possess such power.

Who was she? What kind of existence could swap out 'this material' right under his nose?

At the thought of this, the old man, who had lived for hundreds of years and had long since become twisted and terrified of death, felt even his soul sink into fear at this sudden turn of events.

"Who am I? Why, I am the Sakura you personally brought back from the Tohsaka Family... the one abandoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka, the one destined for a life worse than death according to fate—Sakura Matou, Grandfather!"

"This..."

With a swish, Sakura Matou violently withdrew her arm from Zouken Matou's body. Immediately after, her small shoe-clad foot kicked the curled-up Zouken Matou into the boiling worm pit at the bottom of the stairs with a thud.

"You want to say this is impossible, right? Indeed, logically speaking, in any world line, this situation shouldn't be happening... but aren't there such things as miracles in this world, my dear Grandfather!"

Sakura Matou stared at the churning worm pit below, chattering away as if talking to herself. On her cute face, a look of arrogance that did not belong to her age had quietly emerged.

Lurking in the sea of worms, trying to use his centuries of experience to judge the situation, Zouken Matou naturally caught that trace of arrogance on Sakura Matou's face.

Seeing an expression that a little girl of Sakura Matou's age could never possibly show, Zouken Matou roared at her from within the swarm with absolute certainty.

"You are definitely not her..."

"No, I am Sakura Matou. I am her, and she is me. Whether in the past or the future, I am Sakura Matou."

She was Sakura Matou; there was no doubt about that. Even if the otherworldly soul currently dominating the identity of Sakura Matou had been a different person from the pleading Sakura Matou just a minute ago.

But now, without a doubt, they had completely fused into one person.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Grandfather, please... take a nap for a while."

As she spoke, without waiting for the top-tier Magus Zouken Matou to react, Sakura Matou, her body radiating an inexplicable blue light, took a leap and jumped into the vast sea of worms below...

In an instant, this blue light seemed to be contagious, rapidly spreading from Sakura Matou and enveloping every single worm in the den in that mysterious glow.

Watching those worms that seemed to have been frozen, becoming completely motionless.

Even though the blue light acted as a barrier, preventing the worms from touching even a single hair on Sakura Matou from start to finish.

Yet, as if she had a phobia of filth, once she finished freezing the worm pit, Sakura Matou scurried back up the stairs like a little rabbit.

"Phew~ cleverness can be a trap. It's a good thing Zouken Matou didn't see through my bluff... otherwise, I might have become the shortest-lived transmigrator in history...

Wait, I'm Sakura Matou now... what kind of nonsense transmigrator... Hmph, I don't care for that.

System!"

Correction, I am not a system. Please address this one correctly, Master—I am the Spirit of the Temple of Destiny!

"Tch, if I say you're a system, you're a system. Don't argue; I am the Master."

...So unreasonable... Fine, you are the master.

"That's more like it. Tell me, System, this Power of Destiny that freezes space-time, how long can it keep Zouken Matou frozen?"

Based on the current Earth time of this world, it is sufficient to freeze him for fifteen days.

"Tch, using up all the Destiny Points I gained from transforming from a young socialite into a transmigrator, and it only buys me fifteen days?"

I apologize, Master. Your influence on your previous world was too minimal; the power you possess to twist destiny is negligible.

"That is truly a pity... This part of my past really was insignificant. Then... what about my current Destiny Points?"

You have created the possibility of twisting the destiny of the current Sakura Matou from the source. You currently have 2000 units of Destiny Points remaining.

"2000!... It seems the me of the past really was trash. Becoming a transmigrator only yielded 50 Destiny Points..."

"Never mind, I am no longer the me of the past anyway. I am Sakura Matou now. System, open the exchange list for me. Fifteen days isn't enough; I need to prepare a detailed plan so that after fifteen days, Zouken Matou will at least act like an obedient dog in front of me..."

As she spoke, a panel resembling those in online games—created at the request of the otherworldly soul—appeared before Sakura Matou.

At first glance, the Anti-Destiny Temple seemed to be the residence of a deity who governed and maintained all forms of destiny.

However, in reality, this Anti-Destiny Temple was not at all what the name suggested.

This temple, which possessed its own consciousness and revered Sakura Matou as its master, was actually the product of the collective consciousness of countless beings across the myriad worlds who yearned to break free from their pathetic fates.

It not only sealed away the powers and items of these characters but even their very true spirits...

As long as Sakura Matou followed their expectations to Rewrites Destiny and ensured that these vivid characters were no longer bound by fate, she could use the Power of Destiny generated by the temple to manifest everything within it...

By using destiny to oppose destiny, the temple Sakura Matou mastered should actually be called the Anti-Destiny Temple!

Generating power with love for several years, already have two completed million-word flops...

2. The New Master of the Matou Family.

Perhaps it was precisely because that otherworldly soul was filled with a spirit of rebellion against destiny to the core.

That was why this Anti-Destiny Temple had chosen him as its master.

Perhaps it was because everything in the Type-Moon world had already been recorded by the Root, the Akashic Records, and everything was predetermined, that this otherworldly soul's first stop was this world.

Perhaps it was because, upon arriving in this world, the otherworldly soul heard the plea of Sakura Matou—whose every path led to a tragic end—that he ultimately merged with her.

In short, it was a series of coincidences that made Fuyuki City the starting point for this storm of destiny-rewriting.

In the early morning of Fuyuki City, like most Japanese cities, even on the outskirts, the salarymen—those cogs of modern society—had already made the streets noisy at the crack of dawn.

However, the noise on the streets had nothing to do with the situation inside the Matou residence at this moment.

With the help of Orochimaru, whom Sakura Matou had summoned at the cost of a full thousand Destiny Points, the Matou Family had completely fallen into the hands of this five-year-old young girl, Sakura Matou, after a single night.

"Uncle Tsuruno."

"I'm here... I'm here. Please, Sakura, just tell me what you need."

Looking at the young girl who, just last night, had brought a man named Orochimaru to drag him home from the side of his mistress at a Fuyuki City hotel, bound by several venomous snakes.

At this moment, Tsuruno Matou dared not show the slightest disrespect to his adopted daughter.

Born into a family of Magus, Tsuruno knew very well what kind of monsters Magus were.

Therefore, even though Sakura looked only five years old, Tsuruno, who knew clearly that ordinary people like him and Magus were not of the same world, had already begun to regard Sakura as a monster on the same level as Zouken Matou in his heart!

No! Tsuruno was even more terrified of Sakura. After all, that old man Zouken Matou was his father, and there was at least the facade of blood relations. With Sakura, there was nothing. As for the status of an adoptive father... Tsuruno had already proactively forgotten it.

"Uncle Tsuruno, there is no need to be so formal. After all, we are family, aren't we?"

"Yes, yes, family, we are family... But Sakura, even in a family, there must be a hierarchy. I believe that old man must have passed the position of head of the family to you before he died. This is just basic etiquette toward the head of the family, which I must maintain. Otherwise, if the adults from the Tohsaka Family visit and see me being so rude... that would be a disgrace."

Facing Tsuruno, who was fawning and respectful, and even finding excuses for her, Sakura couldn't help but sigh that there was a damn good reason Tsuruno Matou had managed to live to a ripe old age under the thumb of a guy like Zouken Matou.

He was truly a talent!

"Never mind, Uncle Tsuruno. If this makes you feel at ease, then so be it. However... please remember one thing: I am called Sakura Matou now, not Sakura Tohsaka. The Tohsaka Family is merely an old acquaintance... and a rival!"

Carefully observing the expression on Sakura's face, and relying on his years of experience in reading people, Tsuruno confirmed that Sakura's words were absolutely sincere, and his smile became even more radiant.

If the fawning look on Tsuruno's face before had seemed somewhat forced.

Then now, his expression was completely natural and harmonious.

Sakura Matou! Didn't this mean that Sakura had completely accepted that she was a member of the Matou Family? Even if his status were to drop later, and even if he couldn't continue his debauched lifestyle, at least he wouldn't end up starving on the streets or becoming an experimental subject after the Tohsaka Family swallowed the Matou Family...

"I understand, Sa... Sakura, I know what to do from now on."

"That's good. By the way, here is a list. Please have these supplies ready as soon as possible, Uncle Tsuruno."

Taking the list handed over by Sakura, Tsuruno scanned it. Even though he was filled with as much fear toward Sakura as he had been toward Zouken Matou, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the dense list of construction materials and various experimental equipment.

"What? Uncle Tsuruno, is there a difficulty?"

There was, of course, no difficulty in terms of ability. Even though the items on this list were quite expensive, it was not something the Matou Family, which rented out Spiritual Land in various places, could not afford.

It was just that, to mobilize such a massive amount of funds all at once to purchase the items on the list, Tsuruno did not have the authority to do so.

To produce funds of this scale all at once, one would have to utilize the Matou Family head's token... and in many cases, even Zouken Matou himself would need to be involved.

"Well, Sakura... I... I don't have the authority to mobilize such a massive amount of capital all at once... Why don't you see if that old man left behind the Matou Family token?"

"Is that so? It was my oversight. Very well, Uncle Tsuruno, please start by purchasing as much of the supplies on the list as you can with the funds currently at your disposal. As for the rest... I will wait for Grandfather to wake up and then ask him to authorize the funds."

"Right, no problem... Wait, Sakura, did you just say... that old man isn't dead?"

Tilting her head adorably, Sakura offered a half-smile in a gesture that looked cute enough to kill.

However, whether this head-tilt was actually cute or not was a matter of opinion when viewed through the eyes of Uncle Tsuruno.

In the end, Uncle Tsuruno never managed to get a straight answer out of Sakura regarding whether Zouken Matou was still alive.

Yet, Uncle Tsuruno was already quite clear on the answer. Thinking about living in a house that would soon contain more than two monsters, his brain trembled as he felt his future looked bleak indeed.

He watched Uncle Tsuruno leave, trembling as he clutched the list.

Inside the empty Matou Residence, Sakura navigated through the winding corridors until she quickly arrived at the basement where she had awakened—or rather, where she had been reborn—the previous night.

Compared to last night, the insect nest that had resembled a demonic den was nowhere to be seen.
