He looked at the wall; the time was 9:30 PM. This meant the fixed number of simulations would refresh at this time tomorrow night.
His consciousness returned to the simulator.
The simulator had randomly selected seven skills.
[Monstrous Strength (B+), High-Speed Divine Words (C), Demonic Bloodline (A), Divinity (C), Blessing of the Great Sea (B), Favor of the Goddess (B-), Heroic Tale of the Wandering Expedition (A+)]
[Please host select three skills to fix]
Moran was familiar with some of the skills.
This was just like choosing a class in a game. With his simulated memories, Moran could make a better choice.
[Demonic Bloodline (A): Your blood has merged with Gorgon's, making your physique as tough and resilient as a Demonic Beast. Not only that, but the progenitor of Demonic Beasts was born from your and Medusa's blood. Under the enhancement of this skill, every drop of your blood carries the characteristics of the 'Father of Monsters,' with the potential to birth Demonic Beasts.]
"My offspring with Medusa..."
As a Magus, Moran was well-versed in Greek mythology. He knew that Medusa's blood had given birth to Pegasus and the progenitor of Demonic Beasts, Chrysaor.
In a way, was this his son?
Since Moran had died before Medusa fell into slumber, he didn't know if she had given birth to any offspring. If she had, it would be quite complicated.
Thinking too much now would only lead to more self-blame.
[Favor of the Goddess (B-): Favored and protected by a deity, you possess luck far beyond that of ordinary people. Curses, charm, mental control, and other abilities below B-rank will not affect you. Due to Artemis's petty tantrum, this skill's rank has dropped from A to B-.]
[Heroic Tale of the Wandering Expedition (A+): You forged a brilliant and epic adventure with the Argo Heroes, becoming a peerless legend in the eyes of the world. You marched alongside numerous heroes, and their strength became your aid. This skill maps legends and recreates some of the powers of past heroes. You are the Argo Heroes, and the Argo Heroes are you.]
Moran selected these three skills. Skills like Monstrous Strength and Blessing of the Great Sea were too specialized in their utility, while Divinity was a negative buff that had always been criticized. Although Divinity could weaken the effect of Suppression Defense according to its rank and break the blessings of faith holders, Moran couldn't use it at the moment.
As for the skill "Favor of the Goddess," Moran found it somewhat amusing. If he were to go back to the first playthrough and make the choice again, he would probably still refuse Artemis. There was no need to explain the reason again.
"I'll try to build a better relationship with the Goddess when I have the chance," Moran said with a rather helpless smile.
[Fixing innate skills: Demonic Bloodline, Heroic Tale of the Wandering Expedition, Favor of the Goddess]
These three were the most cost-effective options right now. There was no need to hesitate.
[Selection complete]
[The three skills above have been fixed to reality. The simulation and fixed counts will reset tomorrow night at 9 PM.]
[Simulator entering cooldown state]
[Cooldown time: 23 hours 59 minutes]
"It feels a bit warm..."
Moran returned to reality and lifted his hands. He could feel the blood within him surging like an untamed wild horse. The Demonic Bloodline was flowing rapidly through his body. It wouldn't cause him to demonize like in the simulation, as anything produced by the simulator was bound to be top-quality. At this moment, if he were to shed a single drop of blood, a Cerberus would materialize out of thin air. The calamities of myth would manifest in reality.
ps: Please continue to support with your engagement. Without strong results, it's difficult for the author to stay motivated. Feilu is very reliant on performance. It's hard to survive if things aren't going well (tears).
Chapter 23: An Overly Absurd Timeline! [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]
[Host: Moran]
[Magic Circuits: E-Rank]
[Mana Quality: A-Rank]
[Fixed Skills: Favor of the Goddess (B-), Heroic Tale of the Wandering Expedition (A+), Demonic Bloodline (A)]
Moran looked at the status panel in the simulator.
Gazing at the most glaring Magic Circuits on the panel, he understood that his current body was the biggest handicap.
He only had five Magic Circuits.
By the standards of normal magi at the Clock Tower, at least ten were required to be considered normal, and fewer than ten meant a bleak and hopeless future in magic.
However, this wasn't an absolute rule.
There were also magi with an average number of Magic Circuits whose quality, in the end, led them to be designated Grand Magi by the Mage's Association.
Touko Aozaki was an example of this type.
She only had twenty Magic Circuits.
But their quality reached an astonishing EX rank.
Not to mention, based on Moran's understanding of the Moon world, he also knew of the example of Lord Root, Aeko.
With only one Magic Circuit, she was connected to the Root.
Quality completely crushed quantity.
"The demonic blood flowing through me originates from Medusa, who, in a sense, is the progenitor father of many Demonic Beasts. The quality can also compensate for the lack of quantity."
Moran felt the powerful energy contained within his blood.
He could summon Age of Gods Demonic Beasts with just his blood.
The quality of this Mana was, in the eyes of modern magi, simply monstrous and defied common sense.
It was something they couldn't even dare to imagine.
"Tch... The simulation won't refresh until tomorrow night..."
Moran was still thinking about the simulation.
He not only wanted to draw and replace skills with stronger ones, but he also wanted to achieve a better ending than the first-week simulation.
Several beautiful figures flashed through his mind.
The complex emotions surging in his chest once again stirred into a wave.
If the simulator didn't have a cooldown, he probably would have been unable to resist entering the simulator directly to start the second playthrough.
In his opinion, that ending had too many regrets.
The simulator gave Moran countless opportunities to try again.
He could make a comeback every time.
In fact, Moran was already prepared to simulate more than once; he never thought the process would be easy.
Happiness wasn't some cheap cabbage that could be bought anywhere.
It was the same for everyone.
The next day. Clock Tower.
The classroom was almost full.
The magi who came here stared intently at the podium, as if not doing so would put them at a great disadvantage.
This was only natural.
After all, the person on the podium was revered as a genius of the Clock Tower.
He also held the esteemed and noble position of Lord.
"Projection Magic is a sorcery that projects the material one imagines into reality in a pseudo-form..."
Kayneth wrote formulas on the blackboard with chalk.
He taught his students as usual.
The students in El-Melloi's class came flocking, wanting to learn a bit from this genius professor.
Moran was one of the students.
He was quite familiar with this Teacher Kayn.
He participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City with full confidence, only to meet an extremely tragic end.
Also, in other timelines.
Teacher Kayn's ending was generally not good.
In this timeline, Teacher Kayn hadn't participated in the Holy Grail War yet, but he seemed to already have intentions.
The Fictional Holy Grail War in Snowfield City.
The timeline Moran was in was delicate.
The Fuyuki Greater Grail was stolen by the Nazis and the Chaldea family during World War II. After the Nazis were defeated, it was snatched by America.
The Greater Grail has been moved twice.
This is according to the documented records available within the Mage's Association.
Moran couldn't figure out what was going on with this timeline.
He didn't remember such a bizarre worldline.
It was as if various worldlines had been mashed together.
"...Furthermore, in order to project the internal world onto the external world, one must correctly understand the difference between oneself and others."
Kayneth put down the chalk in his hand.
The students were all full of admiration for his vast knowledge.
However, there was always an exception among them.
"Teacher Kayneth! I have a question!"
"What question is it, Waver Velvet?"
Waver stood up with his hand raised.
Moran's gaze flickered to Waver, who had suddenly stood up beside him.
He and Waver were dormitory neighbors.
Privately, they also helped each other as friends.
"As long as one has the correct understanding, does that mean any projection can be performed?"
"...Hmm, that's a good point to focus on."
"Eh?"
