Holy Grail.
This was, without a doubt, his goal in this world.
In simple terms, it was a war to gain the Holy Grail, a grant wishing tool that could grant any wishes of the victor of the war.
Seven Mages were chosen in this war as they fought to get their hands on the Holy Grail.
Among the sevens Mage chose, the three participants were chosen among the Three Founding Families of Tohsaka, Matou, and Einzbern.
If he gave an example, it was like Tohsaka Tokiomi, the current head of the Tokiomi family.
As for the rest of the participants, they were chosen by Holy Grail randomly.
Though, the ones that were chosen were, without a doubt, those who wished for it.
Then, among them, a murderer nad Uryuu Ryuunosuke was chosen.
Unlike others, Ryuunosuke wasn't a "Mage." He was just a murderer, nothing less and nothing more.
In other words, his participation in this Holy Grail was nothing but a coincidence.
Nevertheless, he was chosen, and he didn't even realize that he was chosen.
Instead of thinking about the Holy Grail, he was feeling down with a serious loss of motivation.
After so 30 victims, his thods for execution and torture had started losing their freshness as they all looked the sa. Testing all the techniques he could co up with, even when he witnessed their dying agony. He also lost the taste of excitent and stimulation from teasing his prey.
Deciding to return to the place of his origin, Ryuunosuke ca ho after so five years of breaking into the backyard storehouse as his parents had fallen asleep this late at night. It was in this storehouse that he had taken his first victim, and it was now crumbling and abandoned.
eting again after five years, his sister's body had completely changed, but she waited for her brother at the place Ryuunosuke had hidden it. The silent eting with his sister gave him a partially strong emotion, and Ryuunosuke was disappointed that he had co for nothing, but at that mont, he found a rotten old book from the mountain of junk cramd in the warehouse.
The thin worm-eaten book was not a printed copy but an individual note. The postscript says the ninth year of the Keiou era. This writing was more than a hundred years old, dating back to the end of Bakumatsu.
Having occasionally tapped into Chinese books during his student days, Ryuunosuke could read the notes without much difficulty. But the problem was the content itself. The incoherent writing of thin characters was preposterous nonsense about so kind of dark magic. Moreover, the inscriptions involved Christianity and Satan; apparently, it was about so Western occults. Offering human sacrifices to otherworldly demons to invoke spirits was definitely fiction.
In the dying hours of the era of Edo, studying Western knowledge was a genre or heresy. While a book about the occult, the most heretic of heresy, could only be a prank, Ryuunsouke had so admiration for it, and he cared little about its authenticity. It was already quite cool and funky to keep just the old book on the occult from the storehouse. That was enough of a stimulus to renew his inspiration as a homicidal maniac.
At one point, Ryuunsuke made the place a "spiritual ground," as described in the notes, then resud his nightti reading. He didn't know just what aning the land now called the town of Fuyuki had, but Ryuunosuke was setting up the important points of the mood for new killings; he followed the instructions of the old book as faithfully as possible.
When he first sacrificed a girl who had run off to play at night in an abandoned factory, the stimulus was more interesting than expected. The style of the sacrificial ritual totally captivated Ryuunosuke despite his inexperience. He beca infatuated with the thod, and after three failed attempts, the peaceful provincial city was struck with fear.
By then, Uryu Ryuunosuke planned to break into the house of a four-person for the fourth cri; he was by then completely intoxicated with ecstasy in the midst of the cri, and of course, he started cooling off after repeating the sa cri for the fourth ti. The voice of reason in his head started whispering in his ears.
Ryuunsouke had accumulated cris as he wandered all over the country. He never killed twice in the sa spot and always disposed scrupulously of the body. Most of Ryuunosuke's victims are, even now, being searched as missing persons.
But this ti, a series of cris without hiding the remains would warn people quickly; this definitely was folly. Obsessed with the thod, he had completely forgotten about his usual prudence. This one was partially bad. For the three previous ones, he had tried to draw the magic circle with blood, and mistakes made him go short on blood. So this ti, to draw a perfect circle, he had decided to kill a little more than usual, but really, planning to slaughter a whole sleeping family might be a little too sensational. The police would be in a frenzy, and everyone in the region would be increasingly wary. Going into hiding was definitely not the style of a "leopard."
Nevertheless, Ryuunosuke was excited. He had trained with his three previous victims, and this one should be perfect, yet when he was about to break into the apartnt, soone suddenly appeared before him.
"Eh?"
Ryuunosuke was stupified since this figure appeared so suddenly, and he was still unable to understand anything until the special note that he had kept suddenly appeared in this figure's hand.
"Ah, that's mine!"
It was only his instinct, but Ryuunosuke could tell that this person wasn't good news, but he had never run away. Instead, he pretended like he was scared and stupid before he struck him down with a knife, but suddenly a painful feeling was felt on his hand.
"ARRGGGHHH!!! IT HURTS!"
Ryuunsouke felt that his hand was burning, so he scread in pain.
Even though Ryuunosuke was screaming, this figure didn't seem to take a glance at him. Instead, it felt like this figure was staring at his left hand.
"What-What are you looking at?"
Ryuunosuke asked as he held his left hand painfully.
"Nothing."
It was the first ti this figure talked, but Ryuunsouke felt that this voice was so cold, yet strangely enough, he was so entranced.
"Then, goodbye."
Ryuunosuke was unable to understand what those words ant, but suddenly he could see part of his body was swelling.
"Huh? Ah? Um?"
Ryuunosuke beca even more confused as many parts of his body kept swelling before he exploded, burnt, and beca ashes, completely vanishing from the world.
While death might be too cheap to punish Ryuunosuke, Tamazuki didn't want to waste his ti with this abscess of society.
'Ava, analyze this note for .'
[Yes, master!]
Tamazuki then looked at the three magatama symbols that created a circle on his left hand and knew that it was proof that he had beco a master. With this, everything was ready; he could participate in the Holy Grail, and what he needed to do next was to summon his Servant.
