"Begin simulation!"

Talent selected! Simulation begins!

You are born in the age of fading mystery in Britain, into the home of a mysterious old knight. He sees your uniqueness at a glance and names you Pantaleon.

Talent, Sword Heart Clarity, activated!

From childhood, you display extraordinary talent in the sword. The old knight discovers this and immediately begins training you as a knight.

Because you are born in the age of fading mystery in Britain, your talent, Dragon Bloodline, is somewhat suppressed.

Talent, Dragon Bloodline, activated!

As the old knight teaches you and tells you stories of the outside world, you gradually grow eager to explore it.

Talent, Chivalric Spirit, activated!

At sixteen, the old knight tells you it is time to venture out. He gives you a silver longsword and a bow you have never seen before, and tells you of recent events.

You acquire the innate skills "Riding," "Instinct," and "Special Attack Against Evil."

You acquire the Noble Phantasm "Sword of the Holy Knight."

You acquire the Noble Phantasm "Knight's Judgment Bow."

Noble Phantasm "Sword of the Holy Knight" unlocked.

Sword of the Holy Knight Rank: A+ Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm Range: 1–99 Maximum Targets: 1000 people Description: Gathers all positive, holy aura, energy, and emotions from the surroundings and converts them into power, with no upper limit. It can also convert these three into defense from attack.

The so-called holy aura refers to the Seven Virtues of the Knight: Humility, Honor, Sacrifice, Valor, Compassion, Honesty, and Justice!

As for energy and emotions, they encompass all positive energy and emotions (but are not limited to these).

When you need to activate the Sword of the Holy Knight, all stored aura, energy, and emotions are converted into power. With you as the origin, it releases a cone-shaped beam of light with a maximum range equal to your blurred field of vision, punishing all evil in the world! (Note: When used against orderly beings, its power is somewhat reduced.)

Noble Phantasm "Knight's Judgment Bow" unlocked.

Knight's Judgment Bow Rank: EX (A+) Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm (Anti-Army Noble Phantasm) Range: 2–4 (1–99) Maximum Targets: 1 person (1–???) Description: A weapon naturally forged by mystery. Along the way, it absorbed virtues related to knighthood, so only a knight who truly possesses the Eight Virtues of the Knight and is recognized by the Knight's Judgment Bow can use it.

Gathers all surrounding energy and converts it into its own power. When surrounding energy is insufficient, it will draw from the user's own energy, with no upper limit. If energy is insufficient, the Noble Phantasm cannot be activated and enters a sealing period, during which it cannot be used but can still be wielded normally.

Special attack against evil, chaos, and neutral types.

When activating this Noble Phantasm, all surrounding energy and the user's own energy converge into the bow. Once the conditions for activation are met, it fires a silver-white arrow at the target. The arrow locks onto the target, cannot be dodged, and cannot be defended against. After firing, any attacks it encounters along the way are absorbed and used for itself. After activation, if the Noble Phantasm's full power is not unleashed, it cannot enter cooldown. If full power is unleashed, the Noble Phantasm cannot be activated for a certain period.

When you take the bow, you find yourself completely unable to use it. Confused, you look to the old knight, but he offers no explanation, only saying that this bow was always meant to be yours. Then he drives you away.

Kicked out by the old knight, you feel lost, unsure where to go. Suddenly, you recall his words: before a certain church lies a Sword in the Stone. Whoever pulls it out can quell the wars across Britain.

Driven by curiosity, you ask for directions along the way and arrive at the place where the Sword in the Stone rests.

On the road, you meet many people displaced and fleeing from war. In your heart, you resolve to end the conflict in Britain.

Along the way, you also punish the wicked and aid the good. Your reputation grows, and you are hailed as the White Knight, because every time you act, people only see a figure like a white rose.

You reach the Sword in the Stone. Amid the crowd, you watch countless knights step forward with confidence, one after another, trying to pull the sword—only to leave disappointed.

After thinking it over, you decide to try your own hand at pulling the Sword in the Stone.

You stand before the sword, place your palm on its hilt, and give a tentative pull. The sword does not budge.

You grip it with both hands and pull again, harder. This time, whether it is your imagination or not, you feel the sword tremble slightly.

In the crowd, a white-haired man in a brown robe and a woman in a black coat both notice the sword's tremor.

You only make a symbolic attempt before giving up.

The next person is a knight, slightly shorter, with a golden ponytail and skin as fair as a woman's. She pulls the sword with ease, lifting it high. Many knights stare in disbelief.

A white figure quickly steps beside the knight holding the Sword in the Stone, declaring her the heir of King Uther.

Some knights in the crowd deem her unworthy to be King Uther's successor and challenge her directly. She does not refuse and accepts the challenge.

Within moments, the challenger is defeated. Yet more knights step forward to challenge her.

Soon, one knight steps forward, declaring that no one can fight the knight who pulled the sword without first getting past him.

You stand among the crowd, watching as knights challenge the two in turn.

Time passes quickly, from morning to evening. Seeing the vast gap in strength, the challengers gradually give up and leave.

Only you, Merlin, the knight who pulled the sword, and that other knight remain.

Seeing you still there, that knight assumes you intend to challenge him. He strikes first, attacking you.
