"Fuck! What happened? Where am I?" Muttering to myself, I got up and looked around to see where I was, and the only thing that I saw was a sea of flames. How did this happen, I thought to myself as I try and look around some more, getting my bearings. All I remembered is that I was on my bed, then…then…then what? I can't remember. Why can't I remember?

Can't just lie here in the rubble; need to get out of here and find some help, but where can I even go? The whole place looks straight out of an apocalypse movie, and from what I can see, the signs and any indications of language here are Japanese… Wait, did I get isekai? Then where the hell are my new powers? Maybe I should try doing special moves and such; let's see how it goes.

5 minutes later

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!" I scream into the red sky at how useless it's been trying every kind of power move I could think of. You know what, at least I tried. So it's time to move on and try and find some assistance or people or even a phone in this city, phone… phone… OH MY GOD. How could I forget to check if I have my fucking phone? And I do not have my phone. Jesus Christ, how am I so dumb? Of course your phone's not here; you put it on the side charging before you went to bed. Stupid me, well, time for the next best thing to do: go and find help. It probably won't take too long, hopefully.

1 hour later

Fuck this ruined city; there's literally no one here, not even an animal. All I've been seeing is weird skeletons walking around the city with weapons, and I'm not that dumb trying to make contact with them; they can't even speak. I sit down and lean back on a ruined rock. Is this where I'm going to die? I thought to myself as I'm starting to feel hungry and my feet are getting sore, fucking in my 20s and still haven't lost my V-card to a girl that I can love. Shit, man, this is getting depressing. Maybe I should just close my eyes and sleep till I die; not a bad way to go. As I start to close my eyes, I suddenly hear something; it sounds like metal colliding and voices? There are people? I should go to the noises and see if they can help, but from what I can hear, they are fighting, and what if I get killed in the process? What should I do?

Meeting the group New
[x] GO: Follow the noise and see what you can do.

Mark POV:

OK! Can't be such a scaredy-cat now; you made up your mind yourself to go and help them. Maybe there's a cute girl fighting for her life, and you can sweep in and be the hero of her story, and then you can maybe get a girlfriend, so win-win, right? Fuck, that was cringe as hell. Let's just go and see what I can do.

Against the will of my mind and body on wanting to keep themselves safe. I start to run towards the noise of battle. As I arrived, I could see the skeleton bones flinging in many directions as the fighting got louder.

I climb over a small hill, and that's when I saw them and realized where I'm at; there were 3 people fighting against a small group of those bones, motherfuckers. Well, more like 1 girl is fighting, and the other 2 look like they are hiding behind a rock, keeping a good distance from the fight. The girl who is fighting the skeletons looks like she is wearing some kind of armor, like a knight would wear, except that the design looks straight out of an anime or manga design where it would show a lot of skin, except she still looks decent enough. Damn, I'm getting distracted. Focus, me. What about the others?

I then looked over the other two to see what they looked like. The first girl looked like she was trying to be a redhead with how bright her hair looked. Is it even natural, I thought to myself? Her clothes stand out in the haze of red of the sky, as she is wearing some kind of white shirt with 3 straps or belts on it, which confuses me because who would need 3 belts on a shirt? Aside from that, she wears what a normal girl would wear, I suppose, which is a black skirt, black stockings, and a pair of white tall boots. The girl looks kind of slay.

But who am I to judge? My fashion sense is mostly non-existent, but still the girl for some reason is radiating main character energy while her fit is saying that she looks like an NPC mook in an evil science base. Wait, if I announce myself, would she kidnap me and bring me back to her evil science base to be dissected? But she does look kinda nice, so maybe it won't be that bad?

Hey focused me, now is not the time to let your lower half do the thinking; you need to analyze the other one. I nodded to myself and looked over to the girl next to the NPC, and I have to say from what I can see that girl straight up came out from one of those villainess manga, and the clothes that she is wearing just exude the words "posh" and maybe "royal."

Her hair, for some reason, is white as snow can be… wait, scratch that. If the word "white" got an image example, then her hair would be the image, and the clothes she's wearing—like, damn, girl, you got money to burn, and I respect that. Flaunt your money, dawg. Her black jacket/maybe coat looks simple and cheap, but when looking at the cuffs, you can see where the money went: orange color with gold engravings, and it looks like real gold from how it shines whenever she moves, so the fabric on that jacket/maybe coat must be high quality too, and this time she actually wears a shirt that can be identified as one, with buttons, I might add, and the design and embroidery must cost an arm and a leg with how elegant it looks.

Finally, from what I can see, she is maybe wearing a sundress under those; that's like 3 layers, right? Is she someone who gets easily cold? Eh, who cares how she is rocking those red stockings and heels? She can wear whatever she wants, but for some reason the villainess looks like she's going to shit herself if a gust of wind hits her face; even the NPC/MC doesn't look that terrified.

As I am currently admiri—I mean, analyzing the people down there, I saw one of those skeletons somehow sneak behind the knight girl and is currently poised to attack the other 2. I hesitate to call them out for a moment before shaking my head and thinking to myself. What would Kamen Rider say if I didn't help people when I got the ability to do it? I immediately…

[x] Yell at the girls: 'WATCH OUT!!! BEHIND YOU!!!'

[x] Throw a rock at the skeleton


The girls turned around, seeing the skeleton, and dodged its attack successfully. The knight girl finished her last enemy's turn, turned around, and destroyed that specific skeleton by throwing her shield at its head, smashing it into a million pieces. Damn, bro is not getting back up from that strike. I then looked back at the girls and saw that they were looking at me anxiously. Welp, I guess it's time to face the music. I then slide down the hill and arrive in front of them.

Fujimaru POV:

That was really close; I would have been injured if that guy didn't help, and I don't think Miss Olga would help me till we come back to CHALDEA. Maybe Mash would, but she's our front line fighter and can't afford any mistake.

Now that the guy has come down in front of us, I can see him a bit more clearly. He has an average face, a little bit chubby but not enough to be called fat, and his build looks ok from what I can see. The clothes he's wearing look like a normal civilian with long pants and a shirt; he looks like he just came out of a convenience store buying snacks, so he's definitely not from the clock tower or any government, that for sure.

"Thanks for helping us against that skeleton; if you didn't, then we would have been in trouble," I said to the guy.

"So what's your name? Mine is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and this is my boss, Miss Olga Animusphere, and this cute and strong pink kohai's name is Mash Kyrielight, but I call her "Mashu." I said to him, but all I got in reply was a confused look. The guy then replies in what I can gather is English because of how easy Mash and Miss Boss are communicating with him. Nghhhhh!!!! I know I should have paid attention more to the English language class. Well, but with how shocked his face is, I guess he now realizes what has been going on right now.

Mark POV:

"So, let me get this straight. You're saying that you guys are an organization that was created to help preserve the past and maybe the future from people that can or may do harm to it, and this organization created by your father cooperates with the clock tower to merge technology and magic together, and that on your first official mission to save the world, an explosion happened and destroyed 80% of the base and crippled almost 90% of your personnel, and the only one that can fix this situation right now is this newbie girl and a 'demi-servant' that was a failure but somehow works now?" I rubbed my head, sighing and looking back at the group, more specifically the Olga woman, who now looks at me like I should kiss the ground she walks on.

"So uhhhhhh, what do you expect me to do about this information that you just gave me? Do I look like I know half of the things you just said, and do I look like I know where to lead you to a person who knows what you are talking about? Lady, look at me. I am currently in my comfy outfit; I don't have my phone on me, and these slippers are only a few steps away from catching fire." I exhausted my breath after that rant, and now looking at her for an answer, seeing her clamping up like this is kind of nice; the girl probably hasn't met a person that talks back to her like this. What kind of silver spoon upbringing did this girl have? Oh, her face looks a bit red. Is she going to scream at me?

General POV:

But before Olga could unleash her fire, Mash chimed in to help relieve the current situation: "Um… Doctor Roman said that we should go to the leyline nearby and make contact with it so we can get some more information on this singularity and maybe get some supplies to help us on this journey, Director. Don't you remember? You're the one that suggested this idea."

"Ye-Yeah, I remembered it; let us start moving to the leyline and establish contact with CHALDEA, then we can go from there." Olga said with a puffed-up chest, like how proud a kid would be when you praise them.

"Hey, I don't want to bum you guys out, but I'm currently wearing flip-flops, and they are not really good for this kind of terrain we are currently in, so if possible, can we find a decent pair of shoes so that my feet won't kill me after this?" Mark said to the group.

"Nonsense, just try and endure a bit more. When we arrive at the leyline, we can transport you a pair of shoes and maybe into something a bit more appropriate in this situation." Olga said and made her point clear.

[x] Guess you have to endure it and follow Olga and the group to the ley line.

[] Try to convince the group to help you find a decent pair of shoes before moving to the leyline (LOCKED; You don't have enough charisma or friendship level with the group to make demands.)

AN: Hey, thanks for reading this chapter. It took me a bit to write this, but it's definitely an improvement for me as a first-time writer, that for sure. From the first chapter, which only has like 400 words, to 4 times that size for this chapter is crazy in my opinion. The dialogue section really carries me in terms of writing. I hope you guys have a good time reading this, and please tell me how I can improve this story, and I'll try to improve it to the best of my ability. I'll try and do write-ins, but don't expect much, ok, my friends.
 
Interlude: Olga thoughts before the storm New
[x] Guess you have to endure it and follow Olga and the group to the ley line.

Olga Marie POV:

How could this have happened to me? I'm Olga Marie Animusphere, daughter of the late and great Lord Marisbury Animusphere, winner of the First Fuyuki Holy Grail War, leader of CHALDEAS, and many other titles that I could go on about till the end of time. With this kind of legacy that my father has created, I should have had a great life, learning magecraft from other well-known instructors at the clock tower and living a life of luxury, surrounded by both jealousy and admiration from my peers. I SHOULD HAVE!!!! But Father didn't do any of that. I never got to learn our family magecraft, never learned how to operate CHALDEAS, never did anything that can be worthy of the name Animusphere, never got to do anything…

Then that fateful day came. Father was found dead somehow in his office; people say it was a suicide, but there was never a proper investigation conducted, as we were only a few months away from CHALDEAS's first-ever mission, leaving me with all the responsibility but no training.

As those days passed, all I could hear was the whispering of the workers as I passed through them every morning, whispers about how I am out of my depth, how I was the mastermind in my father's death in order to take over his position, and how easily I get angry from the smallest thing. I tried to shut them out and focus on CHALDEAS's mission; somehow I prepared everything for smooth operations. Team A, which comprised highly talented mages, including my father's prize pupil, Kirschtaria Wodime. While I was jealous of Wodime for having father's attention, I also know that he got the same goal as me in protecting CHALDEAS and completing the operation.

Mash was also there for Team A, a homunculus born from the experiment of trying to merge a Heroic Spirit with a living being; if it had succeeded, it would have been a boon to CHALDEAS, humans with Heroic Spirit power even if weaker than the originals, still way better in terms of control and resources, like how magic-less people fight, from swords to bows to guns; it's just easier to use. But the experiment never succeeded, leaving Mash as a normal homunculus as one can be, but looking at her reminds me of when I was young, alone, and weak with no one to depend on. So I pity her and put her in Team A as a support.

Hmmhmm~ Then the day disaster struck. It was supposed to be an easy day; I give orientation to the masters, then sit back in the observation room and watch the success from team A, but then one of the masters just had to doze off while I was giving life-saving information, which led her to being kicked out and wasting my time, and when the operation happens, that's when the bomb explodes. All I felt was an intense heat and pain, and the next thing I knew, I was in singularity F, and the only available master is the useless girl that I kicked out of the meeting, as she is the only one left capable of summoning.

Please, Zeltrech, what did I do to deserve to be in this kind of circumstance?

And we then meet the American, or at least that's what I think he is, where he's from. He looks out of place from the ruins, like a god just picked him up and dropped him into this place for entertainment. He doesn't know anything about magecraft or the clock tower, but he absorbs information better than Master Number 48, so at least I don't have to explain to him like a child. The problem is that he asks questions like a child would. These past hour or so of us walking to the leyline was full of him asking a bunch of questions, like 'How does servant work?' and 'If magecraft is the same as technology, why don't you guys just incorporate both together at the clock tower?' and many other questions that I don't want to remember. But at least we have arrived at the ley line, and after talking with Romani and establishing a connection, we can actually get him out of those horrid clothes and into proper uniforms fitting for the mission.

Mark POV:

"Hmmm..." I hum to myself as I change into my new outfit. From what I heard, it's the same type of outfit the girl is using, which explains the many belts/straps that I have to wear, and it came with some neat stuff too, which is something called a built-in spell, which can make me do stuff such as healing, buffing, and other stuff, which is kind of cool, and it makes me wonder, can I buff myself in an emergency? And almost forgot, I don't need any magic for this because for some reason these clothes are like a solar battery and got their own charge; the most I have to worry about is the recharge time of these spells.

As I am done checking myself out, I walk up to the group and start talking. "So what do we do now that I'm all dripped out? Do we like beat the big bad around here, and everything will be back to normal?"

"Are you stupid? We need to avoid fighting unless it's absolutely necessary. We only need to find the source of the singularities, which is producing the massive amount of mana to change the world like it is right now. Once we fix it, everything should be back to normal." The prissy princess explains it to me, more like yelling at me like a mother scolding her kid.

"Fine, fine, I got it. Now do you know where to start, beca…" I never get to finish my sentence as I feel something being wrapped around me, and the next thing I know is that I am flying towards something, and I do not have high hopes that it would be into a beautiful woman's bosom.


PS: Thanks for reading this chapter, mostly it just an interlude before the next chapter, which is a proper fighting chapter that I'll try my best to write, so no choices for this chapter, which i hope it's ok for a quest to do, if not I can always try and rewrite it, and I hope you guys be patient with the MC as we still need some more time before he can actually fight properly.
 
Welcome to the jungle New
~AHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!~ You may be wondering why I am currently screaming like a character in a horror movie as I am being flung through the sky; well, do I have a story for you? Let us start from the beginning, shall we? See, it all started when I woke up in my jammies in the ruin of a city with no one in sight, and that's not the worst part; the worst part is that I got put somewhere in Japan, and then I knew I was fucked. Then I found some hope from these ruins in the form of 3 girls who look like they came straight out of an anime, and after hearing their names and where they're from, it's when I knew that they were from an anime game.

A gacha game named Fate Grand Order that I have been playing every day for the last few years, and now I'm in it; I'm at the starting point of the game. Singularity F, they call it. I was asking as many questions as I could while trying to not freak out internally about the situation that I got roped into, because let's be honest, being a human in the Fate universe is like being a piece of paper pitted against an atom bomb that can blast you with more atom bombs because it was made from 12 million dying stars. So yeah, not really excited to be in this situation, and as long as I stay with the main group but am not in the main group somehow, I may survive this situation and maybe find a way home, because no matter how shitty or boring my old life was, I'd rather be anywhere else than here; well, at least the women are beautiful here.

And that is how I learn not to jinx myself. I thought to myself as I was falling near my death, at least it will be quick, I hope. But my death never came, as I was pulled into something soft. I opened my eyes and looked up to see a woman with pale skin and yellow eyes, with a hood covering a part of her head. I then opened my mouth, and the first thing I said was something that should not be spoken in the first time meeting a hot woman.

"Hey there, hot mama. Are you an angel from the Lord or a ghost of purgatory? Because either way, you got my soul floating away from my body the moment I look at your beautiful face, so if you don't mind, may I get your number?" I said with my strongest Johnny Bravo impression I could do. She then looked at me with the most disgusted face a human could conjure and grabbed me by the neck.

"Insolent creature, you dare utter courtship to me? I'm a monster, you know; I ate your kind for sustenance and played with you people like toys. You should be proper and know your place." She then starts looking at me up and down like looking at a piece of meat.

"But I like your courage, so don't worry; I'll play with you slow and painfully later once your little comrades get here. You and your friends would make excellent decorations for my garden. I can't wait to see your expressions of despair as I turn you into stone." After she's done explaining how she's going to torture me and the group in the most horrible way possible (I'll still be down, but I don't know about the others), she wraps me around with her chain and throws me into a nearby broken wall, pinning me into it, and I think that she broke a few of my ribs somehow, probably because I think I heard something crack and I can feel blood in my mouth.

100 – 30 = 70 HP

I then woke up when I heard fighting. Did I pass out from the pain? Jesus Christ, the power level of these servants is no joke, and the fight is still ongoing. Mash must be struggling against it. How long has the fight been going on? I then felt a sharp pain in my chest and remembered that I got injured; let's see if my theory of using the spell on myself works. I then used the first aid spell to fix my injury and used the enhancement spell to get myself off of her chains, which works after a few times struggling against it.

70 + 10 = 80 HP

I then move over to the fighting. While carefully passing through the statues that the evil woman made, the indications of the statues probably made it obvious that the woman Mash is fighting is Medusa of Greek mythology, so she must have the basic brute package in super strength and speed and such. As I look over, I can see that while Mash is giving a good fight against Medusa with pure strength and reaction time, Medusa is winning the battle because instead of aiming at Mash, she focuses on Olga and the MC girl, and now I realize I never got the other girl's name.

Mash POV:

This fight is getting tougher the longer it goes on. Even though I finally got the power of a servant, I can't fight against this enemy combatant. While I'm specialized in strength and reflex, the combatant leans more into speed and dexterity, and the other disadvantage that I'm in is my weapon; I only got a big shield, while she got daggers connected with chains, giving her a longer range of attack, and she is mostly aiming at Senpai and the director.

Medusa then throws one of her daggers, wrapping it around one of the shield edges and pulling herself towards Mash like a speeding bullet.

Danger! I thought to myself as I saw her flying towards me. I tried to block her path by blocking her route, only to see her jump on top of my shield and now jump towards where Senpai and Director are at. I quickly throw my shield forward, pulling her back away from the group because of the enemy bloodlust in killing us; she forgot to let go of her weapon.

What should I do then? If I come too close, she would just attack Senpai and Miss Olga, but if I stay too far, I'll be out of breath before the fight comes to an end.

[x] Ragebait Medusa to give Mash breathing room (will make her target you instead).

[x] Do nothing and stay there (You will recover some health, but Mash will be injured).

~AN: Sorry for the late update work and stuff happened, but luckily my hours are getting cut so more time to write (~yay~) well this is the first major choice in this story, and if you guys somehow make the character die, I'll have to write an ending which will be in the side story section.
 
Close Encounter of the First Kind New
[x] Ragebait Medusa to give Mash breathing room (will make her target you instead)

Mark POV:

Welp, can't let a cute girl like her fight against an evil hot woman with a high chance of dying, and that would not be really cool as a guy like me hiding behind a hot woman. What kind of man am I?

I then keep psyching myself up for the next few minutes, with compliments such as "the girls will like you more," "you will be called a hero," bla bla bla… Then the noise of fighting pulled me back to reality. I looked and saw that Mash girl near the verge of losing and being injured, so I reoriented myself and took a deep breath.

Medusa (evil servant) POV:

"HEY HOT EVIL LADY WITH THE WEIRD EYES!!!!" The voice of that infuriating bug yelled loudly over the battlefield, making everyone, including me, stop what they were doing and look at where it came from.

And there the bug was, standing tall and proud like it was going to save the day somehow. It then starts talking like it owns the place. "EVIL LADY, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, THEN YOU BETTER STEP AWAY OR BACK FROM THAT CUTE YOUNG PURPLE-HAIR LADY OVER THERE, OR YOU WON'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT."

The gall of this bug! What can it even do to injure or even kill me? Does it even know the difference between a servant and a human? I laugh loudly and look at him with the lowly look of a person looking at a bug beneath them. "What can you even do, little bug? You can't even land a hit or even a small scratch on me. Are you going to beg for the life of this girl instead? Using yourself as a sacrifice? Well, I'm waiting, bug; regale me with your ingenious plan for stopping me.'

"WELL, I KNOW THAT I CAN'T STOP YOU WITH MY STRENGTH AND SUCH. I KNOW THAT I'M A BUG, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT A BUG CAN DO? MAKE A STINK OF PLACES THAT YOU LOVE, SO TODDLES!!!" The bug then turns around and starts running into my garden. What does he mean by making a stink… That fucking bug. 'I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING BUG!!!' I screamed at him as I turned around and started dashing back to my garden. If that bug dares touch my lovelies, then he will receive the worst punishment I can think of, and I won't let him die that easily.

Mark POV:

Holy shit, it worked! That hot lady is definitely chasing me now; I only got a few minutes at most because the fight was a good distance away. I ran back into her garden and saw the plethora of statues of people she froze. Sorry about this, guys, but your sacrifices will definitely be remembered.

I start running towards the statue and start pushing them; most fell over and broke in half or more, and some fell over and hit other statues and broke into many pieces. Damn, these things are weak, but my plan is working; with this she will be furious and start to attack me instead. As I was pushing more of the statues, a whistling noise passed through the air and hit one of the statues behind me. I turned around, and there she was, standing on the hill and looking at me with a look that only a demon can conjure. I smirked, looked at her, and said the words that I have learned from the many experiences I gathered in the art of ragebaiting: 'You miss, bitch.' I turned around and started sprinting.

Medusa (evil servant) POV:

"STOP RUNNING, YOU FUCKING BUG, AND DIE A DEATH WORTHY OF ONE LIKE YOU." I scream as I throw my weapon at the bug, only for it to somehow luckily dodge and hit another one of my statues instead. The bug looked back at me and said in a sing-song voice, "Sorry not sorry, evil lady. You may be hot beyond belief, but I don't play with star sign girls if you get what I mean."

What the fuck is that even mean? No matter, I have calculated where his next movement is going to be; you aren't going to escape that easily, bug. I pull back my arm and throw it in a straight line, flying towards his location.

'GET OVER HERE!!!' I scream as I see my chain wrap around him, and I pull him back hard. His body skidded on the ground, sliding towards me; his face got scratches from the rock he hit his face with, and his clothes, once pristine white, were now full of marks and dirt coated in parts of his clothes. I stomp my feet on him, not letting him try to get out in any way at all.

"Yeah, I guess I can cross this off the list of things I want to do before dying." The bug still got some spirit left in him to joke around, huh? Funny, but not enough to stop his execution. 'Your inane ramblings are over, bug; time to die.' I raised my foot on top of his head and prepared to stomp down when the bug screamed in the loudest and most grating voice I could ever hear: "WAITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mark POV (feel like dying):

80 – 45 = 35 HP (Debuff: internal bleeding)


Holy fucking shit, that shit fucking hurt. Fuck, it hurt so much. Why did I do this in the first place? My bones feel like most of them are definitely broken or on the verge of being broken. My body feels like it's going to keel over from a gust of wind; nope, scratch that, it probably will if a gust of wind does hit me. The idea was such a good idea, but now that I think about it, thinking and doing are two totally different things. Shit, I need to say something to distract her more before she kills me for real for real this time.

I look up at her face and ask, "I know that this may be a weird thing to ask, but maybe how about you kill me with your turning people into stone eyes instead of stomping my head off? Now you may be asking, 'Why would I do that?' and the answer is very simple: you can get massive bragging rights and an aura that all your enemies will fear. Like, think about it: who wouldn't get scared when you talk about how you torture me slowly and painfully and turn me into stone for your enemies to see and fear? Like, think about it real hard, ok? And don't worry about me trying to run; you tied me up with your chain quite well, so what do you think?" I then flashed her my salesman's toothy smile while looking at her thoughtful face, and looking behind her, I could see that Mash was there and Cu Chulain was there too with his staff ready.

"You make a somewhat convincing argument, bug, but too bad I don't really need to. After I kill you, I will hunt down the last of your group, and there will be no one left to be my enemy except for that blue dog, but who cares? You are dying anyway~." She purred at the last few words while raising her feet at my head again.

"Well, thank you for the horrible answer to my question, but I would like to say NOW!!!!" Right after I said those words, fireballs flew towards Medusa and flung her away from me, giving me space to roll away from her and try to get up. Mash then runs forward and starts swinging her shield at the Medusa like crazy, while Cu helps with support fireballs. After a while of looking at them beating the tar out of her till death, I then look at the guy in blue walking leisurely towards me.

[x] Hello there, Mr. Savior, what's your name? (Good first impression, increasing rep of Cu Cuchulain, but lose health a bit before healing for talking too long)

[x] Heal first! Talk later. (Heal debuff, but have less good impression from Cu Chulainn)

AN: Sorry for the delay; as usual, I got a bit lazy, but at least the new chapter is here, and we have the introduction to Cu, the man himself. The guy is arrogant as hell throughout all his versions, but at least he has the chops to back it up. It's sad that Nasu has to make him the punching bag for the other characters. But at least we are halfway through the first singularity arc now; just a few more chapters I may need to write before giving you guys a major decision on what to tackle next, so stay tuned.
 
Interlude: Game Plan for the Man (rhyme intended) New
POV: Cu Cuchulain (Caster)


In all my years of being a heroic spirit, I have never seen a dumbass this dumb, well, with the exception of me, of course, but still, what kind of dumbass would fling himself fighting against a heroic spirit without any heroic spirit of his own? Did the quality of magus drop this dramatically after I died, or is this one a special case? If so, then I kind of like his guts. There's a high chance one day they might come out of his body, but still, the kid's got guts.


Well, at least I heal him enough with my current skill set; it's not great, but it will keep his important bits inside of him enough until this whole shebang blows over. Still, there is a glaring problem that keeps on insisting on annoying me till either he or I die. I then looked around the group that we saved who are currently sitting in this classroom and thought to myself, Maybe this time we can make a deal.



POV: Mark (currently sitting on a school table)


35 + 30 = 65 HP (No debuff)



Ah, fuck, it still hurts like a bitch, I thought to myself as I look at my freshly healed wound and somewhat touch it. That fight really took a lot. If I can even consider it a fight, it's more like a survival mission, like that last mission in Halo Reach. Man, that was a nightmare; I didn't even survive for like 5 minutes. Man, I wish this universe had Halo, I thought to myself before looking at the redhead girl, or the MC, as I called her.


"Hey Mash, can you help me translate what I'm going to say to her and what she says back to me, if that's ok with you?" I ask Mash as she is currently looking over the redhead; she then looks over me and says,


"Of course, Mark senpai; luckily my time learning languages would come in handy."


(These next few conversations are translated by Mash Kyrielight, and some words will be changed.)


"So what is your name? Mine is Mark, just Mark for now since we haven't known each other that long yet even though we've been through a tough battle." I said to the redhead girl, I should stop calling her that.


"Oh, it's ok, I understand; we've been through a lot. Well, for me, my name is Ritsuka Fujimaru, but my friends sometimes call me Gudako, and as you may have heard, Miss Olga called me master candidate number 48. Well, I said "friends," but like, they are kind of gone now if what I'm gathering from what my boss said and what I've been dragged into is correct. You know? I got this job in the first place is because my bloodline was from some kind of extinct mage lineage? I didn't, and I don't even know the first thing about magi-I mean magecraft in the first place, I thought those were just what little girls and maybe boys dream of…" She then began to keep dragging the conversation; I better stop before she can break down any further.


"Hey, calm down. I understand you've been through a lot these past few hours. Now I want you to slowly breathe in and out. Follow what I'm doing and breathe in and out slowly; it's going to be ok, everything will be fine, you just need to keep your head on a swivel." I said calming her down.


But before we could keep talking any more, Cu Cuchulain slapped the board that somehow was drawn on with the map of the city. He then started talking.


POV Change: Cu Cuchulain (caster)


"Ok, listen up, kids; I'll now tell you where we are and what we are going to face if you guys want to fix this singularity." I then point at the board and the location we are at, which is the school.


"First thing first, this is where we are currently staying, the school. The place that you guys defeat Medusa or Rider if you want to be technical is this place the shopping district before she turn it into her own little garden. Now this location the docks or something is where Assassin was located, I killed him before meeting all of you, never got the name of the guy though, the mask make me think of a Hassan, but that means there is technically 3 more servants we may have to beat, not including me." I pointed at the docks where I killed Assassin, and now I circle a general area in the forest but near the city.


"Now this here general area is where Berserker lived, and it's the last place I or whatever rest of the servants saw him last. I think that this used to be his master area of operations, as there is information of at least two houses in this forest area belonging to the two mages' families who used to live here. I never got to know which was the master when that thing came, and I have gathered that as long as you don't go into this general area, Berserker won't chase after you, and you would know if he does chase after you. And while this place is close to where the grail is, the danger we may face here is too much in my opinion, so we have to go with the second-best choice." I then point to another area in the city.



"So we have to go through the round way which is the through this section of the city, but at the same time it's where that bastard Archer is, he usually camp in these many still somewhat standing high-rise buildings, and it's the only obstacle standing between us and the origin where this whole stuff began. So if we are going through here we need to be careful, in fighting him as most of us are close range, while he can snipe us from afar, remembered that." I then pointed at the last location on the drawn map which is a round and big cave with a drawing of the grail in the middle.


"Now this is the last and most dangerous location if we survive the Archer attack, because after this we can move on to the cave, and inside here is the first servant that got corrupted and fucked up this whole grail war in the first place, Saber. After she somehow got corrupted by the grail, she corrupted the rest of the servants. That is one of the reason while they look very different and more bloodthirsty than normal. Now she is in the cave and guarding the grail; she is the final boss. Now any ideas?"


I then saw the crazy kid raise his hand. "Yes?"I got an idea." I think I'm gonna like what he have to say.


[X] Crazy Plan: Lure Berserker into a fight with Archer (skip Archer fight, high chance of being injured).


[X] Safe Plan: Try and sneak past Archer (no Berserker fight, low chance of being injured, Cu will be unavailable for the fight against Saber)





AN: Hey, sorry for the late update; got lazy as usual. Nothing change much as we are now at the end and near the point where a major choice that will change the story will happened soon so stay tune, and does anyone know how I can get more people to read this (if it's about my writing skill than I'll to change but don't have high hopes).
 
Go Little Knight!!! Get Stronger!!! New
Before executing the plan:

POV: Mash Kyrielight (Demi-servant)


Hmmm, how can I unleash my Noble Phantasm? I've been traveling with senpai for more than a few hours now, and as a demi-servant, I'm supposed to be stronger than this. The project that Director Animusphere created was supposed to make me as strong as a normal servant or at least to the level of one, and while it mostly works, it only works half of the time, as I can't really utilize any of the abilities of the Heroic Spirit I've been fused with.

How am I supposed to help them on this journey? As I was still pondering, footsteps suddenly came near me. I turned around to see Mister Cu Cuchulain walking towards me with a grin; he said.

"Hey girl, why are you sulking here for no reason? We are planning the last few steps of the plan, you know. Every input is important, as you are the redhead servant. I don't know about the crazy guy, and definitely not the haughty girl; she doesn't really have the capability to summon one, which is kinda sucky in this situation now that I think about it. Well, whatever, at least tell me your worries, and maybe your reliable senior here can help you." He said it so confidently that I felt the need to pour my heart out about my incapability to him; throughout my talking, he just nodded his head and rubbed his chin.

After I was done, he looked at me in the eyes and told me to meet him on the roof in a few minutes while he would help me find a way to unlock my noble phantasm.

POV Change: No one (Freecam)

As Mash waits for Cu on the roof, she starts thinking about her uselessness to the upcoming battle and plan, but before she could go any further, the door to the roof slams open, and out come Cu, her senpai; Miss Olga; and her other senpai or senior to easily identify which is which. All of them look a bit confused on why they're here before Cu turns around and announces his genius plan to them.

"So, you may wonder why I called you here, and the reason for that is we are here to help the little knight here find out her full potential; if we can do this, then our chance of winning or surviving the upcoming battles rises exponentially, and if we lose and she still won't have unlocked her potential, she can still be the meat shield. So, a win-win situation after all." The way Cu spoke of making Mash become a meat shield so nonchalantly unnerved the only humans in the group, but they understood the implications of Mash unlocking her full potential, so they reluctantly agreed.

"Good, everyone agrees, kid. So are you ready for your training from this lovely and strong senior?" Cu said to Mash while shooing the other to a safe distance from the fight. "Thank you, Senior Cu. Now how are we going to do this? mental training, one of your training routines from Scathach, or…" Mash began to trail off. "No, we fight to the death." "Cu," said curtly, and shot a fireball towards Mash, surprising her fast enough that she only had enough time to raise her shield to block it instead of having her footing, which made her skid back a few feet, and some of the ember got in her eye, making her not prepare for what was coming next.

The next few minutes were brutal. Cu Chulainn did not give the girl any mercy; each of his attack barrages was made to force Mash on her feet, never giving her any rest, but even with all those attacks, Mash was still standing. Sure, she stumbled and got a few hits here and there, but she was still tanking most of those hits, which told him that her Heroic Spirit was seriously strong in taking a punch, but still, she hadn't released her Noble Phantasm yet, probably because she thought this was still just a training match. So Cu aims his staff somewhere else, at the people she swears to protect. Mash's eyes widen as she sees many of his fireballs barreling towards them, and in that moment she just doesn't care about what happens to her; she just starts running.

The girl ran faster than she could have ever imagined; she flew past those fireballs and arrived at her senpai's place like she was being pushed by some strong desire to protect the one that gave her a meaning in life. "Deploying Noble Phantasm!!!" Mash screamed while slamming down her shield; what came out was a giant ethereal version of her shield, blocking all of the fireballs. After that she calmed down, and her knees gave out. Cu came over and said it.

"Sorry about that, little miss. I have to make you go all out; your mind didn't really lock in unless it's a life or death situation for your dearly beloved senpai here. At least you unlock your Noble Phantasm now; it's not as strong as I thought it would be, but it's better than nothing. How did you unlock it anyway?"

POV Change: Mash POV

"I don't really know; all I know is that I just really want to protect senpai and the others and didn't want to see them hurt. Next thing I know, I summon that giant shield and block all of your attacks, and while I can feel that it's not the full extent of my Noble Phantasm, the heroic spirit that dwells within me must have known that I was worthy of this power, no matter how small it was, but I still don't know the name of the Noble Phantasm." I then put my head down somewhat ashamed of my ability before I could sulk any further; Miss Olga piped up.

"Nonsense! You have proved yourself capable of protecting the people you care about no matter what, so who cares what the name of the Noble Phantasm is? Unless that Heroic Spirit comes out and helps us, that power is now yours, so I suggest you name it yourself." Miss Olga is right; I did it by myself. While the heroic spirit inside me did give me more of his power, I was the one who activated it, so what kind of name should it be…

"Lord Chaldeas, yes, its name will be Lord Chaldeas, based on our organization name." I said to the group, and they all congratulated me. "Nice name, kid." "Good choice, Kyrielight." "That's great, Mashu." "Good name, Mash; I think you do it proud." The compliments of the others are really nice; maybe once we get back I can tell Doctor Roman the name of my Noble Phantasm.

AN: Sorry, no main story update yet; I forgot to write when Mash got her Noble Phantasm, so here's a side story to feast on while I try to think how the plan will work.
 
Wannabe Hero New
[X] Safe Plan: Try and sneak past Archer (no Berserker fight, low chance of being injured; Cu will be unavailable for the fight against Saber).

POV: Mark (At the city ruins near the cave)

"Hnggh,… Hrmphhh,… Grghhhh,…" I was grumbling while crouching with the group, hiding behind a large rock, hoping that Archer wouldn't notice us. Cu then turned around and gave me a sharp look and a whisper. "Shut up, kid. You want him to fucking kill us in one shot? The runes that I carve on the rocks you kids are holding can only hide us from him for so long, so we need to be fast and start running to the cave."

I then tell him while looking somewhat exasperated. "My idea would have been fine IMO; luring Berserker to fight him would get us a lot of breathing room to run to the cave while still giving you enough mana to help us in the fight against Saber, but no, all because of the 'safety of the group' talk from Olga and the rest, you caved in and carved these rune stones. While I know that they hide us from Archer, then why the hell are we still sneaking around?"

Cu, look at me again while we are moving to the next hiding spot before sighing and answering my question. "Look, kid, like I said before, I am not a good spellcaster; it's a miracle that I get to be a caster in the first place with how lousy I was learning rune magic from my teacher. I'm more of a fist first into face, you know, so the reason why we are sneaking like cockroaches is because my rune magic can only help hide your mana presence, making most Heroic Spirits not really sense you, but they can still see you, so that's why we are sneaking. If Teach were here, she would have made us invisible or been bait herself, but she's not here, so take what you get, ok?"

I sigh and nod. While I don't really like it, I understand that we need to do whatever we can to survive this and get to the cave. We then slowly keep moving towards the cave, almost making mistakes here and there that almost got us caught, but we carefully stop them before they could have gone too far and exposed us. But then the moment we got halfway towards the cave, a giant shot of light shot towards us, and thanks to Mash's sensitive mana sensing, none of us got shot as she blocked it, but it pushed her a few feet back, which showed how strong that shot was. We looked at each other flabbergasted for a bit before I started to run towards the cave entrance, but not before I screamed towards the group, asking, "How does this happen?"

CU, while running, gave us a somewhat reasonable answer. "Hrmph…Hrmph… It's because of the mana from the cave. Huh...Huh...Huh… The mana from the cave is so strong that it's affecting the rune magic, making the spell I carved into it lose its effects. That's probably why no other servants came to the cave; because of Archer shooting and the mana that is coming from that cave, it feels heavy and smells like rotten bodies. Woah… BANG!!! "That was close, but we're almost there, so keep running; he won't chase us into the cave, I hope. " We all look at what Cu just said, but we can't really say anything but keep running away from Archer's arrows.

After a few more close calls, including an explosion shot that flung me and Fujimaru a small distance, I got hurt quite bad from the explosion, but Fujimaru got less injured because of Mash blocking the majority of the blast for her.

(Mark) Dodge the Arrow (D20) = D4 (Fail)

(Fujimaru) Dodge the Arrow (D20) = D15 (Success with support from Mash)

65 – 40 = 25 HP (minor bleed debuff)


I was then woken up by the blast and found myself being carried by the great Mash Kyrielight on one hand while she was holding Fujimaru in the other. Jesus Christ, I swear that girl one day will become a true heroic spirit, and I will help her or die trying.

We then run for our lives, dodging a few more shots from Archer before arriving at the cave entrance. The shots stop, but I have a bad feeling about this. I look to Cu and ask why Archer isn't firing at us when we are not moving; he looks back at where Archer is and says,

"It's because that bastard is coming here to finish us off in close range and because his 'beloved' Saber is currently in the cave. From what I have gathered, with how much mana is flowing out of there, it's so thick that even I have a hard time breathing in this air." He said while looking into the dark cave entrance.

"You kids should have felt it too, or maybe the adrenaline that is coursing through you is helping, including that mystic code you are wearing, but still he won't shoot from here; it may destroy the cave. So here's the plan: I'll stay here and kill this motherfucker because I have a grudge to settle, while you four go into the cave, destroy the Grail, and if possible, kill Saber too, but I will settle for second best. What are you still looking dumbfounded for? Go, you fucks! I can handle it from here; don't underestimate me. Even if I'm a different class, I am still the Hound of Ulster." And those were the last words that Cu said before we started running into the dark cave.

Location: Fuyuki Cave

POV change: No one (freecam)


As the group ran into the cave entrance, after a few minutes they arrived at the cave inside, and the space was large, very large. The space of the cave is enough to build a stadium in here; that was the thought of Mark when they arrived in the space. But then they look up on the cave ledge, and there she was, Saber, in dark armor and bleached hair, standing out in this dark cave.

POV change: Mark

Fuck, she looks dangerous and kind of beautiful—that was the first thought when I saw her intimidating visage, really selling the final villain of the chapter stereotype here, not gonna lie. Thank god I patched myself up on our way in; it will have to hold for this fight. Looking at her like this reminds me of the conversation Cu gave us before going out.

Flashback start:

"Ok, you runts, here's the important part: I found out the identity of Saber, and you guys might not like it. It's King Arthur; now I know how you feel. She is the most famous in history; everyone in the world mostly knows her, so yeah, we are kind of fucked in this situation, but I have a plan. The shield girl's Noble Phantasm can help us in this fight. When she deploys that giant shield, the amount of mana I sense in that move is really strong, so if my hunch is right, you shieldy girl can block Arthur's Noble Phantasm Excalibur, and don't look so nervous; I trust you, and your master trusts you too, so believe in it. Hmm? Why do I call King Arthur a girl? You know when you see it."

Flashback end.

So yeah, let's hope Mash can actually block it if push comes to shove. I then look at the group and say to them:

"Ok, team! You remember the plan: stick together and try to get as close as possible to the Grail. Mash will then try and distract Arthur while we destroy that grail, which is her power source; it will hopefully power her down to our level at least." I was done speaking when a loud voice boomed throughout the cave.

"Are your bugs done? If not, then I don't care; I'm killing you right here." Arthur then raises her sword, and a large beam starts manifesting, and with that we start running like our lives depend on it.

"EXCALIBUR MORGANNN!!!!" "BOOM!!!" A giant explosion of light barreled towards us, preparing to engulf the group, and then another voice rang out.

"Noble Phantasm deployed." "LORD CHALDEAS!!!" Mash slammed down her shield to the ground, and a giant shield popped out and tanked that light show right before us. The shockwave was crazy; I and the others had to hold onto Mash as we were almost blown away, but thankfully it ended before anything could happen.

"Come on, we have to keep going before she can fire another one at us." I said to the group while still running towards the Grail.

Almost there. "EXCALIBUR!!!" "LORD CHALDEAS!!!" Another Noble Phantasm showdown, but this time we got blown back and away from each other because of the shockwave. Shit, how many more times can Mash deploy her Noble Phantasm before we are killed? I then stand up to see how far I flew, Olga and Mash were flung to the side while me and Fujimaru were flung back a considerable distance, I then look at Saber only to see her already charging for another shot at us; she's trying to kill the master and me.

[X] Save Her (ARE YOU PREPARE TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF?)

[X] Just stand there (WILL YOU JUST STAY THERE AND LET IT END?)


I don't know what happened; my leg just started moving, and the last thing I saw was the shocked face of Fujimaru looking at me before I got engulfed by the light.

AN: Thanks for reading this chapter. The choices for this one is cross out to show that is not how a hero roll baby, cringe but I love it so sorry if anyone doesn't like it. Now, the next chapter will be an interlude setting up for the major story choice that will impact how I write for the rest of the quest, so stay tuned for the next threadmark.
 
Interlude: A God ponder New
Location: Unknown

POV: ???


Hmmm, how long has it been since I fought a worthy fight? How long has it been since I saw the fall of men and their worlds? How long has it been since I yearned to see another savior appear and judge their world? Ahhhh, staying in this place reminds me of the time that I started the end and observed how the world tries to survive.

The first time I ended the world was a beautiful time: the countdown of the bombs and the small silence of the people's daily life before it all burned to ashes. Ah, thinking about it makes me shed a tear. But nothing better than to see a savior born from the ashes of the fire, a child of the previous world thrust into this new and unforgivable world, with only his wits and his dear companion.

The journey of budding friendship and betrayal, the choices he had to make, and the consequences he bore—such a shame he died by the hands of the people he saved; what a shame.

Then there was the second time, which happened without me even lifting a hand: a child born from the synthetic bones and blood of the last hero struggled to find his purpose in life and followed the voices of men who pray to dead gods and heroes. At least that boy was lucky enough to face me and even more lucky to face him and survive; now he's great hero material.

The third child, my favorite. The one that was born from my own hand, a child who became a demon, the outcast of outcasts. Ahhhhh, now that one I remembered fondly; I was there after all when he defeated me in a 'fight.' I hope he's still out there fighting for whatever he believes in; after all, the title he earned isn't for show.

Oh, almost forgot the soldier. The one who stays true to himself from start to finish, the inhuman that is the most human, every now and then he pops up in my purview, stopping the disaster that his world faces every few hundred years. He is lucky he got an unbreakable spirit; a normal human would have quit before he even started.

The samurai, the one who stays resolute from start to finish, may hover between chaos and order every now and then, but he never falters in the face of evil. My aspect did say he put up a good fight even in the true face of the gods; he's lucky for not fearing the true face of gods and angels.

And finally, the child of God itself, a fusion between a human and a god, a being to surpass it all. Starting that war was a choice I've never regretted, because it led me to the strongest and the most entertaining time I ever had in the years that I've lived, and I've been living for millennia. That child was strong, and he deserved every bit of that strength; he fought against all that good and evil have to offer, and he even fought and won against most of my aspects.

But what should I do now? It's been quite some time; maybe I should relive some of these memories again.

Hmmm? What is that falling from the sky? Ha… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!! Yes, can it be? A world where I don't exist? Heroic Spirits? Alaya? Yes, it shall be done. A deal shall be made once more and a new world to wager; it's time to show what the Morning Star will bring to this new world. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

AN: Thanks for reading this interlude, this is setting up for the major crossover of this quest. Here is where our MC will make a major choice that will affect the fate of this world, whether it be good or evil will be determined at the end, so stay tuned for the next chapter. And remember to have fun and share this story whenever possible.
 
The Path New
LOCATION: ???

POV: Mark (currently falling)


AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I was screaming my lungs out for the last five minutes as I was falling down on a black void. How long will this go on, I thought to myself, and right at that moment I fell down face first into some kind of hard ground surface. I then got up and checked myself, thankfully not finding any injuries or painful places.

I then stand up fully and look around; all that I can see is all pitch black. It's the worst kind of hell for a person like me, a hell with nothing in it. "Fuck." That was the only word that came out of my mouth as I started to feel the despair beginning to cling to my body. But I slapped my face and thought to myself, I can't be down like this; a hero won't be bogged down by something as simple as nothingness, so I began to walk. And I walk and walk and walk and walk until I just lay down on the invisible ground and just start thinking, "I've been walking for more than probably thirty minutes now."

I haven't had a clue where I've been going or even walking to; I don't know if I've been going back or forward, or maybe I've just been going around in circles. What's going to happen to the group? Maybe they survive and are now following how the story should go. Maybe it's best if I just close my eyes and stay here; I did have the time of my life, after all. It wasn't so bad; I got to be in a gacha game that I loved even if it was just for a bit. What do I do? What do I do? I thought to myself, rolling around the ground until I heard something.

"~Follow my voice~Follow my voice if you want to change your fate~Follow my voice and I will show you your destiny~" Now that sounds ominous but is still better than nothing. I then stand up and start following the voice where it led me. After a while, the voices spoke again.

"~What is your desire? ~What is it that you want to be above all else? ~What is it that you are willing to trade your life for? ~" The voices sound small, but with how quiet it is, I can hear what they are asking me. I gather myself and answer.

"I… I want to change someone's fate. No matter what happens to me, I want to show that there is still good in this world, and I… I want to be a hero… No matter how hard it will be, no matter how childish it is, no matter if it's wrong in the eyes of others, as long as there is someone who needs help, I want to try and help them to be a good person, a person that I can be proud of if I ever die so when I look back, I can say that I lived a good life." I said with all my heart out, hoping that whatever evil or good that was speaking to me could hear and maybe answer my prayer. I hope?

"~What a childish answer~What a dumb answer~What a stupid answer~WHAT A GREAT ANSWER~" The voices reply, and out of the pitch-black darkness comes a being I thought I would never see in my lifetime, as tall as a high-rise building, with six crimson wings in the shape of bat wings spread out like how an angel would be, a body dark like the night and malnourished but still looking intimidating, a mystical white cloth floating and covering its intimate parts, very long horns, and blonde hair so wavy and smooth like it came out of a shampoo ad. It then looked at me with its blood-red eyes and said.

"Hmmm, it has been some time since I last showed myself to a normal human, so it seems that my form is maybe scaring you. Let me turn myself into a more appropriate form so we can talk face-to-face." He then starts to shrink down to a more appropriate size, still taller than me but less monstrous and more like a basketball player. He turns into a handsome person that can rival men and women in terms of beauty; his blonde locks become more of a fiery orange, while his wings are now half angel and half demon. Those are probably his power tank if video games teach me anything. He then looked up at me, smiled, and then said.

"Human, I have heard your answer and have looked at your soul. While you dream maybe delusional and childish and will may never be true, and your soul is not as pure as it can be, I have heard your voice in those promises, and they have a conviction only found in few. So I will give you a choice, as I have given to those that had come face-to-face with me before. A Choice!

A choice to go back and save people you care about, to maybe change the fate of the person you said you want to, a choice to become the person you have always wanted to be, so you can either take my hand and become a hero like you dream of or decline and you will walk among this empty void for the rest of time, with no one to talk to and nothing to do, just you and the void. So, my friend, what will you choose?"

[X] Take the deal but believe in the light (Ultraman/SMT route; Difficulty: Normal/Hard)

[X] Decline the deal; you will walk your own path no matter the hardship.

(Kamen Rider/SMT route; Difficulty: Hard/Very Hard)

[X] Take the deal; you need to have all the power you can get.

(SMT-only route; difficulty: Nightmare)

AN: So here we are at the major crossroads, and remember, the major choices here will determine how the story will go for part 1. I may let you guys choose another major route choice again in part 2 if we ever get to it; any choices that weren't chosen will be used as ideas for my other stories if I ever get to making one. But still, thank you for reading, and remember to leave a comment; it helps me a lot that people are actually reading this.

PS: Will be posting images of what you will get in the choices you chosen.
 
Extra info on what each route will bring New
Ultraman/SMT route: The systems will be similar to a basic quest/reward systems where if you finish a quest you get rewards; the rewards for this route will mostly be minor common items for minor quest and ultraman abilities for main/major quest with the normal SMT demon summoning systems shenanigans (demons that are recruited and summoned will only be low level/ weak demons unless the voters vote for a special demon subjugation quest, for balance sake)

Kamen rider/SMT route: The systems will be similar to a basic quest/reward systems where if you finish a quest you get rewards; but instead of a normal reward systems, this will be a slot gacha where the character will receive a form/ a weapon/ an abilities from the kamen rider series in an attempt to somewhat even out against the fight with Heroic Spirits, with the normal SMT demon summoning systems shenanigans (demons that are recruited and summoned will only be low level/ weak demons unless the voters vote for a special demon subjugation quest, for balance sake)

Shin Megami Tensei only route: As the name said, a normal basic quest/reward systems centered around SMT mechanics, items and xp will receive to help character growth, maybe a spell here and there but that its, including are demon summoning and subjugation quest are more common for balance sake.


PS: This is for if anyone want to change there votes based on new information as I forgot to give out more details.
