Arrived in Type-Moon, Now Unreachable

The System, a high-end, sophisticated noun, the ultimate cheat in cheat systems. A mass producer of overpowered individuals.

Just as Li Zihan discovered he had a system by his side and was overjoyed, he received a message from it.

This system is about to shut down due to insufficient energy. Please host work hard to collect the energy as soon as possible to restart the system.

Chapter 1: Starting Today, I'm a Master

Late 20th century, Fuso, Fuyuki City.

It was afternoon, the sky was dark, and the air was humid and oppressive. After a while, cold raindrops began to fall from the dense layers of cumulonimbus clouds, followed by wind and storm. The clear, pure raindrops plummeted into the jungle of steel and concrete, gradually taking on the city's gray hue, and finally flowed along the channels designed by humans to the world beneath the city.

Perhaps because of the weather, the usually bustling streets were sparsely populated. The few pedestrians who were out hurried their steps, like worker ants eager to return to their nest. Seeing this, the already not-so-lively city appeared even more desolate, even somewhat bleak.

If a foreign traveler were to pass through here, they would surely be disappointed. After all, in this kind of weather, they wouldn't be able to feel the charm of the East at all. They would only feel out of place in this world and a sense of loneliness.

"Fuyuki City is truly amazing." A clear voice rang out on Fuyuki Bridge, breaking the silence where only the sound of rain could be heard. A slender young man, holding a black oil-paper umbrella that looked like it belonged to the Tang or Muromachi era in one hand and a silver-white briefcase in the other, leaned halfway over the bridge railing. His expression was excited, and his joy was evident.

Well, when you have a forest, you get all sorts of birds. Especially with a population of billions. There will always be some people with abnormal aesthetics, or perhaps those who are mentally unbalanced.

Li Zihan was in a good mood, and had been before arriving in Fuyuki. He was about to say goodbye to his current bleak life and embrace a beautiful future full of infinite possibilities, so his mood couldn't have been better.

As a transmigrator, Li Zihan had some minor differences in habits and values from the native powers of this world. This led to some friction, and then conflict. Well, minor conflicts, after which he had to leave his school, be sealed, and even be hunted by some half-baked magus for several months due to some issues.

It was a sad story. But, fortunately, this story was about to come to a perfect conclusion. There was nothing to fear anymore; a bright, beautiful white tomorrow awaited him.

All scenery reflects the mood; when a person encounters good fortune, their spirits soar. Now, even if Classmate Li were thrown into Siberia or the Sahara, he would find the scenery majestic or magnificent and burst into song.

"Berserker, what do you think of the scenery here?" the young man asked the air beside him. Anyone who noticed the young man's state would surely question his mental condition.

No one responded to him, or rather, no one existed to respond.

The young man shrugged. It would be strange if the mindless Berserker responded. His Servant wasn't some abnormal individual like Kiyohime. Although he really wanted to summon a beautiful girl like Kiyohime with fair skin and long legs, the intensity of this Holy Grail War was quite high. The Masters who appeared included, but were not limited to, local magnates of Fuyuki, a once-in-a-century serial killer, a war dog with no bottom line, and a certain enhanced Clock Tower lord.

This wasn't the Holy Grail War of School of Homurahara ten years later. For the sake of his own life, it was better to summon someone who could fight. Unfortunately, Li Zihan didn't have the Holy Relics to summon those powerful beautiful girls, so he couldn't have a beautiful queen carry him, a bronze noob, to victory.

The Holy Grail War, also known as the Broken Grail War or the rigged whistle war. A battle for the "Holy Grail" that could grant the holder's wish. Seven troublemaking magi summon seven historical heroes to fight each other, jointly creating a peaceful and friendly Fuyuki City. Every time it's held, several magi die on the streets of Fuyuki, yet a group of stubborn fools still participate in this free-for-all on time.

The Holy Grail is a miraculous relic from Christian legend. Within the Christian sphere, there are also many legends of travelers searching for the Holy Grail.

Of course, the Broken Grail of Fuyuki City is not the relic of that Son of God. If it were, the fanatical followers of the Church would "mercifully" send these heretics, who used the sacred relic as a tool to perform magic rituals, to meet the great Lord.

The process might be a bit painful. They would probably be nailed to a cross, sent into an incinerator, and even their ashes would be scattered.

Fortunately, this Holy Grail is a fake, so all the magi don't have to worry about being crippled by a suddenly appearing Church Executor. They can fully concentrate on tearing each other apart with their peers, grasping the All-Works Cauldron, and reaching the Root.

It's a pity that on this timeline, quite a few people died on the road to the Holy Grail, and the number of magi who obtained the All-Works Cauldron is zero. This makes one suspect that the Holy Grail War was something created by the Church to mess with magi.

However, with several magi who always want to cause trouble dying each time it's held, from a social perspective, the Holy Grail War might not be a bad thing.

As a transmigrator, Li Zihan naturally knew the situation with that Holy Grail. Relying on that broken cup to fulfill wishes was no better than praying at the Church. Perhaps the Heavenly Father would hear his wish and give him a hand.

But even knowing everything, Li Zihan still participated in the Broken Grail War.

The reason was simple: the system was out of power.

Yes, the system was out of power. To be precise, the system shut down fifteen years ago. It booted up, gave a gift package, went silent, and shut down. Then it left a message on the black screen: "This system is forcibly shut down due to insufficient energy. Please host work hard to collect exotic energy and restart the system." After that, it went completely black. The entire process was so smooth and decisive that Classmate Li doubted his life.

Coach, this is not the routine we agreed upon! Wasn't I supposed to be the one to act as the arrogant protagonist and show off in front of people in another world? Wasn't I supposed to start practicing martial arts at one year old, beat up master martial artists with ten years of training at three, and single-handedly defeat Leaf Village Jonin at five? System, what am I supposed to do if you crash so early?
