[Demanding_Dana]: Strear, are you going to switch screens or not? Why keep watching these old n? Look at my Prince more!

[Whining_Wendy]: Exactly! My Prince is so pitiful. It's bad enough that he's isolated in the team, and today when he finally wanted to play a ga to relax, he didn't get any screen ti!

[Hashtag_Harry]: WWTY!

[Roleplay_Rita]: I am Zhuge Kongming, spend $50, let's protect the kingdom together and make Victor retreat!

[Defensive_Dan]: You little haters! How much money did you take from the opposing team? How can you slander my Prince like this? Don't you have any conscience? My Prince has worked so hard!

[Fed_Up_Frank]: Go back to your mobile ga, damn it! This is a Holy Grail War livestream! Why should we give screen ti to your Prince and let him make plays? In esports, being bad is the original sin!

[Delusional_Diana]: Hmph! You're just jealous that my Prince is handso!

Just as the four strears from Platform B were bickering over who should summon next—

Max's livestream was also in an uproar.

And the instigator was Victor, the so-called "Crown Prince" of Eastern Gaming, who had bought this ga slot from Platform B.

This one was an even heavier heavyweight.

Who else could, with just such a face, make his esports organization spend a hundred million to find companion players for him?

Two years. A full two years.

He hadn't achieved anything at all. And this season, he had even brought about a "second spring" for countless players on the verge of retirent—because playing against him was basically free wins.

There was no way around it. In MOBA gas, which team could withstand a four-versus-six situation in professional matches?

Coupled with him playing the "traffic idol" card, he was deeply hated by countless players who actually watched competitive esports.

His recent performances had even led to calls for his retirent flooding every comnt section.

In short, there wasn't much more to say. Max utterly detested this kind of person.

At the sa ti, he was displeased that Platform B had sold a slot to this guy.

But since the invitation had already been sent, Max couldn't go back on his word.

He could only make a ntal note to be more careful about future collaborations.

As for giving screen ti?

Make a play, then. If you make a play, I'll definitely give you screen ti.

However, just as Max was about to block so of the more obnoxious fans—

Hey, the screen ti for Victor actually ca.

And not for the reason his fans hoped.

[Disappointed_Dan]: Max, I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to take this dirty money too.

[Confused_Carl]: No, what's so good about this trash player?

[Obnoxious_Fan]: Lalalala~ You dark goblins are only fit to breathe in the dust of our Prince!

[SYSTEM: User "Cilantro_Hater_2025" has been detected making inappropriate remarks. Account banned for 768 days!]

[Shocked_Shelly]: Holy crap! The ban hamr!

[Raging_Fan]: Damn it, what a stupid censor! This is unfair!

[SYSTEM: User "Cilantro_Hater_2026" has been detected making inappropriate remarks. Account banned for 1089 days!]

Screen switching was one thing, but banning toxic users was still necessary.

Watching the stream of complaints, Max's lips curved into a satisfied smile.

Imdiately after, the screen switched to player Victor's perspective.

A blue light flashed.

Victor, who had been randomly teleported to Trifas City, completed his Servant summoning in a residential building.

And at this mont, looking at the figure before him—

A black knight with a skull mask. Robust physique. Heavy armor. A massive greatsword.

Victor's face revealed a triumphant smile.

However, in the subsequent exchange, that smile vanished without a trace.

"A mask, then."

The Skeleton Knight's voice was cold, chanical.

"It seems you are fated with our Assassin Hassan. However, this battle requires no evening bell to be rung."

He looked down at Victor.

"So, contractor... please retreat obediently."

Looking at the white mask that had been placed in the center of the summoning circle—

The Skeleton Knight said no more. He rely raised the greatsword in his hand, then let it fall due to gravity.

The mask shattered into pieces.

And this scene, to Victor's eyes, was a blatant show of disrespect.

Imdiately, his expression turned ugly.

Yes—as soone who had switched from jungler to support in his MOBA career and played support for two full years, yet still couldn't properly play a hero released four years ago...

It was clearly impossible to expect Victor to properly understand this ga before participating.

One must know that his companion players were replaced every year. Nobody could stand playing with him.

So the account Victor was using today was bought from a small strear.

Although there weren't many Holy Relics inside, there were still ten.

As for playable characters, besides the standard Emiya Kiritsugu, both Kenneth and Tokiomi were also unlocked.

A pretty good starter account, all things considered.

And according to Eastern Gaming's plan—they didn't want to give up on Victor, as the sunk cost was too high.

But the negative public opinion across the entire internet was also very high.

So this ti, they paid a premium of 20 million to Platform B for a slot.

On one hand, it was to "relax the Prince's mindset"—to calm down the heat from competition and recent negative press.

On the other hand, it was to leverage the popularity of the Holy Grail War. Maybe Victor could attract another wave of fans who admired his appearance. Maybe he could even switch career tracks.

After all, the Holy Grail War was so popular that esports tournants would definitely be held for it in the future.

And the Holy Grail War didn't require ga sense or precise controls—it mainly relied on Servants!

Entering early would clearly make it easier to build fa and popularity.

However, the facts proved that so people could be helped.

But Victor could not be helped.

Eastern Gaming had already formulated a strategy for Victor:

Just choose Kenneth, then exchange for the Holy Relic "Golden Armor." This would give an 80% chance to summon Karna, the Sun God.

Plus the mana supply from Kenneth's Magic Circuits—one person could sweep through this entire Holy Grail War!

Wouldn't the visual impact be amazing? Wouldn't the fans go wild?

But as a support who completely ignored team calls on the competitive stage—never responding to his ADC's seven pings for assistance—

Although Victor had promised verbally to follow the plan...

In actual execution, he chose Emiya Kiritsugu.

And exchanged for that white mask.

Utter recklessness to the extre.

However, this reckless choice actually drew one of the most difficult Servants to summon in the entire ga.

This was why Max had switched screens to him.

Because it was too damn fantastical.

But back to the main scene.

Listening to the Skeleton Knight's dismissive words, combined with his own frustrating experiences recently...

Victor—who never had a strong ntality to begin with—didn't even think twice.

He directly raised the Command Seal on his right hand.

Then, with a flash of red light, two strokes of the Command Seal were used up just like that.

"How dare a re NPC speak so presumptuously to ?! I summoned you to FIGHT!"

His voice was shrill with anger.

"I command you with a Command Seal—do not refute ! Obey my commands!"

The first seal burned away.

"Then I command you with another Command Seal—kneel on the ground and bark like a dog!"

The second seal burned away.

"How dare a re NPC go against ?! You've truly gone too far!"

[Sycophant_Sally]: Wow, Prince is so handso! See? Our Prince is the strongest!

[Reality_Check_Rick]: Yes, yes, yes, your Prince is truly amazing. But have you considered what happens when the Command Seal wears off?

[Frustrated_Fred]: Bro, can't you just play the ga properly? This one looks VERY strong, and you're using Command Seals to forcibly humiliate him?

[Ominous_Oscar]: What are you barking about?!

As the saying goes, so phrases have double anings.

Just as the chat was furiously surging due to Victor's actions—

Victor himself had no awareness of the impending danger.

Instead, he looked at the Skeleton Knight with a smug expression, anticipating the sight of him bowing his head, kneeling on the ground, and barking like a dog.

Forcing an NPC to submit... this would make great content for his fans.

Then—

In the next second—

A black light flashed.

Victor felt only a strong sense of dizziness.

Before he could even figure out what had happened—

The entire ga screen went black.

"It was my misjudgnt."

The Skeleton Knight's voice echoed in the darkness.

"There is indeed an evening bell ringing here."

A pause.

"Your evening bell has already tolled long."

[DEAD]

[Shocked_Chat]: HE KILLED HIS OWN MASTER?!

[Laughing_Larry]: HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Justice_Served_Jake]: GET REKT

[Celebrating_Carl]: THE SKELETON KNIGHT SAID NO

[Lore_Master_Lisa]: Wait, who IS that Servant?! He resisted TWO Command Seals?!

[Mind_Blown_Mike]: Victor lasted approximately 30 seconds into the match

[Poetic_Pete]: "What are you barking about?" indeed

The chat exploded with celebration.

Victor's screen remained black.

And sowhere in Trifas City, the Skeleton Knight stood alone—

Masterless.

But free.
