Ragnarok (Fantasy-Style Battle Royale)

Bumping as a check.

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Ellri said
We'll throw ya some critique.One, this world is medieval fantasy. Where does non-medieval technology into that?Also, relics pick people, not people pick relics.One more thing: Those mountains are deep within imperial territory. Anyone residing there would not be left to their own devices. If they're as skilled at mathematics as you profess, they would have been used by the Kalesian empire.

Fair enough on all points. I need to head off for a while relatively soon, but I'll see if I can get those edits in prior~

Edited~, though I'm not 100% on if the new location works or not, so let me know~

Thankfully those changes were largely semantic and easy to implement, seeing as no change to the core needed to be made

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

It's even better; it's a calculator smoking a cigarette.

Absolutely flawless.

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Have a hyperspecialized backlane mathematician fighter.

Name: Nanami Hidaka

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Relic: False Prophet

Skills: Overclock, Thought Division

Equipment: Bag of small stone tablets, inscribing knife.

Appearance:

Nanami

History: Raised under the precepts of the Hidaka, though while she took in the information and understanding, the drive and passion to understand was never there.

In other words, there was a "hole" in Nanami's self, a false mode of being that had not uncovered what it was.

Tutelage continued for some time in a customary fashion, viewed by Nanami as simply another mundane facet of life. She was gifted in terms of mental capacity with regards to her abilities, but viewed it as trite. Praised as a genius, condemned as useless. The choice of which capability to practice on was every bit as important as the choice of how to prepare eggs for breakfast.

When other Relic users began to act, the family decided it was time to make use of the Relic that had been discovered by them some time prior and unsealed it, in the hopes that among them, one of them would be chosen by the Relic to act as its user. The expectation was that the representative of the clan, a man who had mastered the numerical arts and learned how to peer past the veil to see the truth of the world itself, would be chosen by the Relic and sent off to keep balance.

Instead though, the failure known as Nanami was chosen, and so was sent on her way.

Personality: Relics can be seen as bearing the ability to "bring about impossibilities," the power to rewrite the rules of reality as the user sees fit and challenge the rules of God itself. The power to destroy. The power to create. The power to surpass. An exalted gift with capacity and consequence beyond mortal reasoning.

In that respect, Nanami is unequivocally the "worst" wielder of a relic.

This is because she is utterly apathetic towards everything one is meant to be.

Without a doubt, she is the "most" human and "least" human, one who sees their existence solely as a more efficient means of calculation, nothing more than a quicker way of doing things than going to the effort of running calculations herself.

Then again, considering her skillset, this may be understandable.

Outside of the concerns of the relics, Nanami is quite simple to understand. Promiscuous, risque, teasing, these aspects describe her in day to day interaction perfectly. The sort of individual who will never be able to hold down a decent job because her very existence is sexual harassment itself.

In that sense, one has to wonder why her, as a failure of a relic-user and human alike, was chosen by the False Prophet. Accident and chance, surely.

Motivation: "Let's make something fun happen."

Theme Song: Sneered The Color Blue

Keywords

False Prophet

A Relic, appearing as a simple signet ring, which draws the roots of its power from the notion of Chaos as Primeval Void. The Greek pre-existence that contained "is" and "is not," the goddess Tiamat who bore domain over nature, and the like. The power of a "god of something that is not real". Consumes mental fortitude to use, and thus is highly conducive to one such as Nanami.

Grants the user the ability to create and destroy "openings" or "portals" to what is known as "imaginary number space," a world that "is not" and which exists as a separate dimension outside of time and space, constructed of imaginary numbers. Imaginary Number Space or INS bears the initial state of being a perfect mirror world of Earth, save for being utterly lifeless. The user is also permitted to manipulate the orientation, being, and value of imaginary numbers as they wish. Put simply, the user has a "pocket dimension" she bears full control over. The portals are created through her will, ie she thinks "I want a portal there," and it appears. To the user of this relic, that capability comes about as naturally as breathing.

At the moment, the maximum size of a single portal is roughly six square meters. Multiple portals can be formed/destroyed at any one time. Portals can be formed at any location/orientation and in any shape the user perceives, but are always "two dimensional" in nature. If placed on a vertical plane below something (ie a floor) then unless whatever is above the portal moves out of the way in time, it will "fall" into the portal as though it were a pit. Another example is placing a portal on a horizontal plane (a wall) and walking into it, or placing it above a being on a vertical plane (a ceiling) and jumping into it, though these examples are not comprehensive. Portals do not need a solid medium, meaning if the user is outside she can make a portal in the air before her and walk through it all the same. The user further cannot designate what the opening she makes "leads to" on the other side, though existing portals can be altered in size/shape/location as the user desires.

A power that nearly guarantees victory when the fight is within imaginary number space, but is practically useless in the real world. Even something like opening a portal directly beneath an enemy's feet so that they fall in can be avoided by darting out of the portal's area, if the enemy is quick enough. Reliant on trickery, luck, and accident, the sort of being that cannot hope to match other relic-users in the normal world. For this reason the user of this Relic is more suited to a back-lane role, working alongside a straight-combat fighter who pressures the enemy, in an attempt to get said enemy into a portal. An indirect-combat type with no ability for "combat".

As time goes on, this Relic may grant its user the capacity to extend control of imaginary numbers to certain forms of interference in the real world, or otherwise recalculate beings formed of "real numbers" into being imaginary, however such an ability is well, well, well out of Nanami's reach. It is unlikely that such a point will ever be reached.

Bears a form of "hidden ability" known as Conversion. Essentially a high-cost supplementary ability of the Relic used as a Last Resort. With the engraving of a rune, the substance it is inscribed upon is converted the material from "matter" to "imaginary numbers" bearing the "value" of said matter, for a set time decided upon use. Once time expires, the value of the imaginary numbers is used to reform the matter of the object just as it was before Conversion. Cannot be used upon "living" beings without their consent, in the case of living beings "thought", ability to impose will, metaphysical manipulations and the like are still retained whilst in the form of imaginary numbers. Within the context of battle, it becomes the only "useful" ability she has. Most forms of phenomena, physical, magical, or otherwise, cannot "affect" imaginary numbers regardless of how strong they are due to functioning in a separate conceptual world, so using this on herself allows her a chance to get out of a risky situation. In other words, as her Relic prevents her from being a combat-type, this technique helps her try to avoid combat, though she does have to hope that the enemy gets bored of slashing at a black fog and leaves before the Conversion wears off.

Overclock

Trait of the Hidaka family. Acceleration of mental faculties, essentially an increased speed of data calculation, thought, transmission, recognition, and the like. Does not speed up the body itself, but rather the mind and its imposition of will.

Thought Division

A trait of the Hidakas that splinters their mind, adding divisions into it. The end impact of this is independent "minds" belonging to the same being, each able to analyze different facets but all working towards the same end goal. As of now, she has four of such partitions. A beneficial ability simply because four heads are better than one. Not to be confused with DID and the like, as all partitions identify themselves as a part of the "whole" that is Nanami.

Hidaka Family

History: Has existed since the age of the Old Kingdom, and possibly further, though they have not changed in the slightest since such a time in purpose nor skill. An isolated group that has always been content to sit in the corner and do calculations, so that nobody bothers them. False Prophet was unearthed by them some long stretch of time ago, though the exact date is forgotten; odd that a family of mathematicians would forget the date. Nonetheless, until this point in time, it had been sealed away and unused. Consists of 11 individuals, excluding Nanami. All are versed in the standard Hidaka abilities outlined above, but little else.

Purpose: A family of mathematicians, based in using math to understand the world, increase the base of the human condition, and calculate the future. Their ultimate goal is simply to "save the world," though they have no idea what they will be saving it from, hence why they attempt to calculate the future. Increasing the capabilities of the human mind, viewing reality from different angles, these are the premises upon which the family is founded. It goes without saying that those of this family are not instructed in the art of combat nor negotiation, they are single-specialization "jokers".
A pity then, that the one family member who does not care about the world ended up being the one chosen by their Relic.

Location: Western edge of the mountain range on the southereastern coastline of the continent.

Relics: False Prophet, though it is now possessed by a "rogue" member of the family.

Ragnarok (Fantasy-Style Battle Royale)

Valhöll

If any of you have played the Visual Novel "Fortissimo," this is based on that, though you don't need to have played it to participate, of course. Here's a quick TL;DR so you can decide if you want to read everything below. Characters have magic weapons that operate along a certain theme/concept, what it is is up to you. Battle royale among these wielders of weapons, basically a tournament among OP characters. Yes you can be OP, I encourage it, as if not you'll probably die. Winner essentially becomes a god. You can fight your other competitors for the victory, or try and do something like challenge the Game Master, the endings you reach depend on your choices. You can kill characters without their RPer's permission.

Questions? Read below. Still have questions? Ask me.

Story
Thousands of years ago, generations before recorded history, great civilizations advancing farther than the modern world today fought for world domination. In an attempt to achieve an advantage over the others, the nations turned to the divine beings to grant them weapons. The Gods obliged, warning them that they would pay for it in a future generation. These weapons, aside from having immense power, were directly linked to their wielder's soul. The mortals foolishly took this immortal power and, upon realizing its uncontrollability, were destroyed by it.

Now, civilization has been rebuilt. The modern world has risen. These times were long forgotten, blown away by the test of time and memory.

But the weapons survived. Although scattered across the world, a mysterious entity gathered all of the current wielders of these weapons in the town of Haven. Although they may seem like normal weapons with the disappearance of magic, this mysterious entity created a special dimension, known as Ragnarok, during which these weapons regain their power and magic. The dimension does not disappear until a weapon has been destroyed, and with it, the life of it's wielder.

Able to call upon the darkness of Ragnarok at his will, the cruel battle royale between the wielders of divine power begins.

Explanation

The characters made will be wielders of "weapons" and participants in the battle royale. Your goal in this is simple: win the battle royale by killing all other weapon wielders. Of course, it may be a bit more nuanced than that. You're free to challenge the Game Master of Ragnarok, or any of the other NPCs. You'll "win" if you kill the other competitors, but maybe you can reach a good end for everyone under different conditions. Or maybe you'll just end up destroying the world, it all depends on what you do.

That said, I've got plans sketched out for just about any action you can take, so what sort of plot and ending is reached does depend entirely on you guys. Below is a rundown of how things work in-RP, as well as a character sheet so you can get an idea of how it all works.

Rundown

Below are the basics for this. If there's something you don't understand, ask. If there's something you can exploit, do it.

This has two sections. "Mechanics" and "Regulations". Mechanics are the rules of the in-RP world and cannot be broken, because they're just how the game works. Regulations are recommendations made by me for you to follow in-character. You can break Regulations if you decide you want to, but there may be consequences. Then again, there may not be. It is up to you.

Regulations:

Do not create an alliance with more than two people. Alliance is defined as "fighting together". Nonaggression pacts can be made in any amount.

Do not kill more than one person in a single instance of Ragnarok.

Do not destroy the city.

Do not destroy an area of effect larger than the city.

Do not impose on other universes or dimensions.

Do not attempt to stay hidden for all the war.

Do not attempt to harm, in any way (physical, conceptual, mental, etc) another competitor outside of Ragnarok.

Do not look for the Game Master outside of Ragnarok.

Do not contact law enforcement. Do not contact governmental agencies. Do not contact authority figures.

Do not inform non-competitors of anything regarding Ragnarok or the Weapons.

Do not kill non-competitors.

Do not bring non-competitors into anything regarding Ragnarok or the Weapons.

Do not attempt to become God.

Do not utilize the power of love.

Do not utilize the power of friendship.

Do not attempt to bring back the dead.

Do not violate the law during Ragnarok. The exception is murder.

Do not destroy property during Ragnarok.

Do not attempt to live the rest of your life in Ragnarok.

It is again worth noting that the above Regulations are recommendations, however the way in which the plot plays out depends on your own choices. It might be that following all regulations will necessarily lead to a bad end. Maybe a good end can only be reached by breaking a specific regulation in a certain way. Or maybe this is a lie and you should just follow them all. Up to you.

Mechanics:

Everyone can make one character. One.

Character standards are gonna be low. I'll put it right out there. The weapon's the important part. This means I won't force you to have incredibly detailed characters and backstories, they can be plain and relatively simple. Of course, if you want to write a nuanced character, please do. That said, this is still in the Casual section, so I do expect proper use of English and a propensity away from one-liners.

For all intents and purposes, every character has an equal amount of skill, physical strength, and speed in a fight. This isn't a matter of the fight itself, it's a matter of who has the best weapon and can use it the best.

Ragnarok occurs at a random time every day and lasts until an individual dies. All humans and animals who are not competitors vanish during Ragnarok; the rest of the city remains normal.

You pick a weapon, a name, a description, and either a theme or concept it operates on. Weapons don't need to be legitimate "weapons". A mirror or ring or toy or something is fine. Your OC and weapon functionally share the same soul, so if the two halves get separated from one another (ie your weapon breaks), you die. Don't let your weapon break.

You're allowed for an innate passive magical ability of the weapon, two skills which go along the same theme, and a Last Resort, the "ultimate skill" of the weapon. Skills and Last Resort must be non-passive. Skills can only be used up to 5 times a battle due to energy cost, and Last Resorts may only be used once due to their status as a Last Resort. If magical energy is somehow replenished in battle, the skill use meter will refill but the Last Resort one will not.

In battle, anything marked as "instantaneous" happens faster than something at the speed of light, which in turn happens faster than physical blows that aren't at the speed of light, and so on.

I'll be blunt about this next part: This is a contest of who can design the most broken character, but with style. The only things outright banned are things like Demonbane and similar concepts, and exceedingly vague stuff that lets you cop-out of everything (ie "this lets him change fate". Yeah, that's helpful.). If something seems too broken somehow then it might be prohibited, but otherwise just try and be as abusive as you can. You can loophole all you want, but all the information needed for the loophole to work must be there, you can't add stuff in ex post facto.

Stats are on a scale from E to A, with E being 10, D being 20, and so on. There are also half-steps you can use, for instance C Plus or B Minus would be a 35. The lowest a stat can be is 5. The highest one can be is 50. You can't put ranges (D-B), just put the highest point in that range. Max stat total value is 150.

There are two additional rankings called A Plus (51-100), and EX (101 or higher). Both are inaccessible in your initial profile, but you can reach them through things like Growth Potential.

Here's what each does:

Magical Energy: The "power" of your weapon. IE, if attacks clash, who wins out. This doesn't affect indirect clashes unless specified in one of the attack descriptions. For the most part, non-attack "effects" (IE inducing mental interference) will require the you have a higher ME than the target, so you can imprint your magic onto them. There might be exceptions, but those are up to you to find.

Durability: Material strength of the weapon. If Magical Energy is the magical attack and defense, this is the physical. Something with a durability of 20 or more than an oncoming attack's power (ME or Durability depending on the kind of attack) will not take any damage. This only applies to attacks, and not mental interference or things like that. Further, if there is a gap in Durability of 25 or more and two weapons physically clash, the weaker one will necessarily break. If the gap is 20 then two exchanged blows will be needed before it breaks, if 15 then four, if 10 then eight, and if 5 then 16. Weapons cannot be destroyed by non-weapon related things (ie a rock or something), but this doesn't mean that any weapon can cut through every non-magical substance. For all intents and purposes, a weapon's material strength is beyond that of anything non-magical, but if your weapon is something like a feather, then even with the material strength of Durability Rank A, the force needed to make it break something like a rock is still obscene, if not ridiculous. Basically just be rational when dealing with non-magical stuff.

Growth Potential: Potential for power to increase as battles go on. This is the reason it can be dumb to try and hide and let everyone else kill each other. Its effect is a direct function of how many people your character has killed. For every character you kill, add the numerical value of your GP stat multiplied by .8 (rounded to the nearest multiple of five) to your base stats, allocated as you see fit. If the character killed has killed other characters, multiply the number by 1.5 to the x, where "x" is the number of people the deceased character had killed. IE, if Zach kills Emiri and Hiroki, and then Kei kills Zach, then Kei would get 2.25 times his usual amount. No stat boosts may be given to Growth Potential.

Range: Exponential scale of range for a weapon's effect. If it's a plain old sword, it'd be E, but if it shoots laser beams then how far can the laser beams go? E means it barely affects an area around you, A means you can snipe things as you please. Keep in mind this is solely the max potential range of the weapon; if you don't give yourself the capabilities to exercise that range, it's your own fault. If someone's out of your range and you're in theirs you'd best move somewhere else. Here's an approximate scale for use, though these are general guidelines and specifics will be decided by the mods.

5: Limited exclusively to the user

10: About a 2-3 meter radius from the user.

20: About an 8 meter radius.

30: About a 50 meter radius.

40: Just about anything in the "area", IE a given neighborhood, the school grounds, a shopping mall, or something of that nature.

50: If the circle is a city, area of effect with a radius equal to half that of the city's.

Precision/Accuracy: Two purposes. First is a "tiebreaker" if two equally magically powerful blasts or physical attacks or whatever clash, which one comes out on top. In this case, the damage of the winning attack is equal to one-fifth what its power would be otherwise. Second is a more arbitrary scale like that of range, which determines how precise you can be. If you're just swinging a sword around, this doesn't need to be too high. If you're using a bow, you want your arrows to hit their mark, so make this higher. If the distance between two people on the range scale is greater than one party's Precision, then the difference between the two stats is placed over the range stat, and that becomes the likelihood of it missing. For instance, if Sena has a Range of B (40) and a Precision of C (30), and she fires at Takeshi who is at a range of 40 away from her, it is within her range, but the chance of the attack missing will be 10/40, or 25%. This applies to literally anything and everything, if you have a sword with a range of E but a precision of E Minus, then about half of your attacks will flat-out miss. With a sword. Don't be dumb about this.

Name: Emiri Kamijou

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/LCHaXAZ.jpg

Personality: Emiri has a rather cheerful demeanor and never-give-up attitude, always acting the part of an idealist. Emiri is naturally competitive and bears an attitude to never-give-up at anything, often being called a hard worker. Despite being very determined and strong willed, she is surprisingly sensitive to things such as teasing, often getting aggravated easily when someone belittles her.

Known to have a hearty appetite despite her appearance, Emiri is known to be a big eater of sweets and the like, often going to places such as cake shops after school with a few of her friends.

When involved in Ragnarok, Emiri fights to the best of her ability, not wanting her life to end so easily. Though she does not like the idea of killing others, considering the nature of the game she has been placed in, she has no choice but to oblige to the game moderator's rules.

Backstory: Emiri was orphaned at a young age. Her parents died when she was a baby, so she does not remember anything that happened; she does not even remember her true parent's faces. She was adopted by a rather wealthy family who could not produce a child on their own. She was always treated as if flesh and blood. She never even knew about her origin as an orphan until recently and still considers her adopted parents to be her true parents. She also runs track at school. Other than that, she is pretty average. (Lazy bio is lazy)

Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ARkwVYw5g

Weapon name: Zeus: Spear of the Eternal Storm

Appearance:http://i.imgur.com/q0zf0IJ.png

Weapon's magical ability: A spear that is given the ability to discharge and manipulate lightning. These lightning attacks can be discharged as a projectile, as well as being able to enhance the normal attacks done by the spear.

Magical Power: B (40)

Durability: C (30)

Growth potential: D (20)

Range: C (30)

Precision/Accuracy: C (30)

Weapon Abilities:

Soaring Eagle: Triumph of Old: As if lightning itself, the spear moves at speeds incomprehensible to human understanding. This allows for the user to make several attacks in the time it would normally take to pull off a single attack.

Anti-Enlightenment: He whom Keeps Fire from Man: Using her spear, Emiri can control light: electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and which is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons. One can generate, bend, shift, focus, scatter and/or manipulate light to various decrees and effects. Though she can use this ability on other objects, she cannot use it on herself or her own weapon.

Last Resort:

Olympus: The Primordial Olympiad: With a single slash, a wave of light is produced, carrying the concept of destruction with regards to anything in its path. As simple as it is effective.

Ending Notes

If you're theoretically interested, or have any questions about how this will work out, let me know. Thanks all!

Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Alright BB-ojou-chan, I've stayed quiet for a while now, but I need to voice my objection to this premise.

Some Nerd said Though it is Terra, humanity is gone. It's as if everyone simply disappeared one morning.

Who exactly is going to be making the tea and cookies for the party?

Fate/Esoterica Mk 2

Raineh Daze said
Okay, on reflection, we have a problem: a Master and Servant have a fundamental incompatibility. If it was just that, this would be easily solvable: rearrange. , many participants have already posted, making such a revision problematic. Now, following on from this: everybody is quite happy... and nobody has any interest in pairing with Rider or their Master.Given that I have over 20,000 words of PM discussion on power levels and the very of the Servant system and how it relates to the world, vs a Servant and Master that raised absolutely no objections... I'm going to have to ask that you step out, GYWYDK, because as it is we have a fundamental incompatibility on world opinions, and nobody actually wants to play with you. I'd rather not reject someone, but... as it is we're down Rider and Berserker, which is kind of a big hole... sorry, but having 2/7 of the RP perpetually frozen is worse than needing to find another player. Sorry. >.<... also, whilst I said you could post the character, I did say nothing about posting IC: given the response to her, I'd have had to reject the character anyway. :/

I won't deny that I'm disappointed, but mkay. Have fun, all~

Fate/Esoterica Mk 2

Mm, well if at least one person from every other candidate pair is averse to that, not sure what to do in that instance. Only real options seem to be A. Grin and bear it or B. Go for the heretic option and have Dblade and myself Master our own Servants.

Or I remake both of my characters, but I'm, I believe understandably, incredibly opposed to doing that.

Fate/Esoterica Mk 2

Well that's problematic. Any takers for switching positions with Dblade or myself?

Fate/Esoterica Mk 2

"Let's begin. I hope we can have fun together~"

Every self has a different way of making a Form. A room containing a set of tapestries which thrum with the life of their crafter. A forest overgrown with Eldritch abominations that only exist within a twisted mind. A flawless sky, overladen with the white-gold light of the sun.

Now wipe it all away. Wipe it away and picture a void. A black void, endlessly expanding in all directions.

Litter this void with stars, stars of every conceivable size and color, myriad to the point where merely trying to understand their impossibility of quantity could break your mind and shatter your soul.

This is the inside of the devil's die.

You stand in the center of this void, an empty husk.

Set.

-Initiate.

The starting penalty is three.

Death by madness. Death by happiness. Death by love.

To begin, understand that the world is an illusion. Understand that you are a sleepwalker, blind. Understand that the web of interactions you believe to have constructed with other selves is a mere falsehood created by a monster dangling a reflective surface before your nonexistent eyes and that the second you close your eyes to escape the monstrosity you have created for the most transient instant when you reopen then to see your good work you find that it has all been wiped away.

You are the Other. You are the world. You are the demon of Laplace who creates the illusion.

You must understand this. You must, because soon it will begin. Soon the damned event of your own devising shall begin and it will all come shattering apart.

You created something. Thus, the intermediate penalty is five.

Death by electrocution. Death by suffocation. Death by burning. Death by stabbing. Death by dehydration.

I am a mere construction, a mere basis for the overseeing of preordained events with preordained consequences. You know this. You've known this your whole life, but if you insist that you have forgotten then it is no matter, for one day you will recall its true nature.

Do not curse your world, for to curse it is to curse yourself. Do not curse yourself, for then this game will all be for naught.

Have you understood yet? I hope so.

If you have not understood yet, you will surely lose to those that have. You will lose to those instances of "you" which surpassed you.

What it means, indeed.

For if the world is an illusion.

If the man is an illusion.

If the knife is an illusion.

There is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with nothing killing nothing.

So then, go forth. Go forth and explore the depths of depravity you sought to create. Nobody will blame you but yourself.

The end has not yet been given.

The starting penalty was for understanding. The intermediate penalty was for creating.

-But you created something greater than your mind could comprehend.

Thus, the true penalty is one.

The final penalty is a hapless suicide which you yourself will perform in the evanescent dance to the end of eternity.

Let the devil's die roll, and the game begin.

---

Set. Set. Set.

Ten points cut through the world.

Look beyond the veil, beyond the self, beyond the Truth.

Burn all creation. Conquer all.

The golden king who towers above. The sword which is not. The 'she' who split Void into Truth.

I will surpass them all.

Lines drawn in the dirt of the Western Forest.

The ritual was a falsehood, so the circle could be as well.

"Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone.

The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.

Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).

Repeat every five times.

Simply, shatter once filled.

――――I announce.

Your self is under me, my fate is in your sword.

In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.

Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.

You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!"

The wind writhed as a flare of light filled the expanse, debris flying in random directions as the light grew ever brighter.

Such was the world.

Such was the summoning of a spirit of old.

Nothing else needed to be said.
