Master of the Marvel Universe

They were as calm as a beautiful lake, yet seemed to contain astonishing vitality.

The girl looked around, then stared straight at Shen He without moving. Her delicate face was as expressionless as a machine.

"I can't hear her thoughts," Saiki said slowly.

Shen He looked at the summoned item displayed beneath the system interface and opened it. A three-dimensional image of the girl appeared before him. She looked only eleven or twelve years old, and her name was still four question marks.

However, there was also an evaluation:

"Weapon. That was how everyone defined her.

Without emotions, without thoughts, she needed only a command to become a deity who ruled over death.

Yet—

Red, yellow, and brown withered leaves danced as they whirled around her.

That flawless, elegant girl, as radiant as the full moon.

Who was she?"

Weapon, beauty, blonde hair, sky-blue eyes...

Shen He kept searching through his memories, and a name seemed ready to burst from his lips.

But at that moment, dazzling golden light suddenly flared from the summoning circle, interrupting his thoughts as ethereal music curled around his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully summoned a four-star rare Servant: Shiki Ryougi."

...Was this... an absurd stroke of luck?

The Girl on the Battlefield

Shen He panted, suppressing his breathing as he clenched his fists. His heart hammered in his chest.

It was actually Shiki Ryougi!

His second Servant was actually Shiki Ryougi!

Would Shen He ever admit that, before being transported here, he had spent over ten thousand just to fully max out Shiki? Would he admit that he had collected every novel and manga, and had even bought four Shiki figurines?

Calm down. He had to calm down.

Shen He took a deep breath.

First, he did not know which period of Shiki he had summoned. But regardless of which one it was, there was a very high chance she would refuse the summons.

Unless... it was that special state.

As Shen He thought this, he suddenly felt a weight in his arms.

It was a short-haired girl in a white hospital gown. Her eyes were tightly shut beneath her delicate features. She looked no older than eighteen or nineteen, her soft body naturally relaxed as though she were asleep.

Shen He's heart suddenly calmed.

With just one look, he knew that this was Shiki Ryougi after the accident, during the three years she had spent in a coma.

He carefully lifted the girl and placed her on the bed. His movements were incredibly gentle, as though the person in his arms were the most precious treasure.
