In a perfectly ordinary room, Cheng Li Qun watches a healthy, happy, and beautiful story.
"Crap, ???, you really deserve to die roasted bird, why must you hurt me?" Liqun let out a scream, overwhelmed by frustration.
"What's all the noise about? Stop making such a big ruckus, it's already this late into the night and you're still not asleep?!"
Hearing the furious cursing of the female voice next door, Liqun instantly ceased his mourning.
"I must not, I must not continue looking at this... It brings me such great pain every time I see it. If I were in Honkai right now, my resentment would already turn me into a Trailblazer's Herald", Liqun's entire body lay weakly on the table — devoid of energy, habitually taking out his phone to check the time.
"Holy shit it's already four in the morning, I really must sleep before I clock in for work at eight " Liqun nimbly squeezed his body into the already made bed and skillfully whipped out his phone — opening up a game.
Sleep? Only those who don't contribute to society partake in something as vulgar as sleeping. As for how to cram a full eight hours of sleep within the four or so hours left, refer to Liqun's motto: trust in the power of Za Warudo.
As he continued to play on his phone. Liqun, losing control over his eyelids, only felt his body gradually losing strength, the moment before his phone slipped from his hands and land squarely on his face.
"Tomorrow, I'll get a good night's sleep tomorrow.", after promising an unachievable pledge, Liqun serenely shut his eyes.
"Eh? I...I... fell asleep?", Liqun's eyes suddenly opened, only to feel a scorching pain. He tried to get up, but fell and hit his head.
"Where am I?", Liqun dazedly stared at his dim surroundings, groping in every direction to find some sort of bearing, his hands pushed against hard metal within a few seconds of his search, the area around him was small and cramped, like the interior of a coffin. Liqun steadied his hands upwards, and pushed with all his might, yet the supposed door of the coffin did not budge.
There was an abrupt pause, and suddenly Liqun let out a dismissive laugh," Oh right... I didn't actually fall asleep, but just died all of a sudden". Liqun calmly accepted the possibility that he was already dead, preparing to shut his eyes and drift off to eternal sleep.
After a few seconds, Liqun's shut eyes suddenly widened and his face turned thoroughly red, straining his larynx he roared " Which shitty doctor examined my fucking body!? Lao Tzu still has tons of life left! How can you put me in a coffin? I'm going to report you to the medical board and let you have a taste of poverty!"
Taking a few seconds for a breather, Liqun let out another roar "Is anyone there!? If anyone's there you've got to help me out here!"
Liqun let out shout after shout, yet he received no response. Feeling a growing pain in his throat, Liqun decided to give up. Even though he knew it would be useless, Liqun decided to vent some of his grievances, gathering some strength, he launched a kick upwards, which was followed by a thud.
"Ow!" Liqun having hit his little toe on the hard metal surface felt as though he had stubbed his toe on the corner, the pain surging through his entire body.
It hurt so much that Liqun could not speak, with great effort he curled up his entire body, intending to blow on his hurt toe to alleviate the pain.
Why is everything always against me? Is there no fairness left in this world?" Liqun was on the verge of tears.
As Liqun was in the midst of his careful maneuver to treat his stubbed toe, his mouth already on the same level as his toes. The coffin's cover opened with a whoosh.
Liqun made eye contact with the newcomer. At this very moment he felt as if the sky had come crashing down. As a person, he had already experienced social death, he felt as though it was better to just nail the coffin shut again.
Liqun naturally loosened his foot, acting as if nothing had happened. Sitting up straight, he lazily stretched, and said nonchalantly "Ahem, what's up? Did you need something from me?", seeing such an awkward situation, the newcomer was about to say something, but decided not to and instead took out a walkie-talkie and shouted "Medical department! Medical department, are you there? One of the Masters have already regained consciousness, but I highly suspect that this one is mentally unstable"
"Uh, about what happened just now", Liqun spoke as he finished checking his body, looking at the man in front who had witnessed that embarrassing moment. Liqun felt as though he was on a bed of nails, awkwardly squirming about.
As if noticing his discomfort, Romani — who was good at reading others — consoled "I didn't see anything, don't need to worry, I won't tell anyone about your foot licking deeds".
"However!" Romani looking at the test report, which suggested the possibility of amnesia, felt quite troubled. Scratching his head in frustration.
"Although I don't know how much you remember, let me just give you a brief explanation.
You are a magus, whom has been picked as one of Chaldea's 48 Masters. Regretfully, before we could initiate our first spiritron transfer, an insider detonated a bomb, resulting in the deaths of a large number of our masters, only a few were left with a trace of life. So, we placed them into the life support pods. You are the first of the critically injured Masters to awaken.
The man strongly pressed his hands against his forehead again, as if trying to smooth the wrinkles caused by his worries. "And now, Chaldea has observed that human history has already thoroughly vanished, if we want to save humanity, we must repair the anomalies that have appeared, which we will call singularities for now. Currently, Chaldea's only surviving Master is fighting in the first singularity. Over a month has passed, and it seems that there is still no hope of correcting it".
After hearing this, Liqun finally understood what had happened. 'So it was because I suddenly died from staying up that I got transmigrated into fgo's universe? Compared to those seniors who were sent to other worlds by heavy-duty trucks, my method of reincarnation seems a bit hasty. And the first singularity is already difficult; looks like this generation's Fujimaru Ritsuka is a bit weak, but no worries, I'll step in, let this FGO veteran teach you how to speedrun"
At the same time, Liqun finally remembered, the man standing in front of him was Romani Archaman, who was also an incarnation of King Solomon. However, Liqun decided not to reveal this yet. Afterall, without sufficient proof, Romani would most likely choose to die before admitting it.
"Haii, what should I do?" Seeing Dr Romani sighing repeatedly, as if it was an obvious hint Cheng Liqun decided to volunteer and contribute his own strength, definitely not because of the embarrassing scene he had just been caught in.
"So, what can I do now?"
Hearing Liqun's question, Romani was pleasantly surprised, "That's great! I'm just worried that we won't have enough firepower to support Fujimaru Ritsuka. Emmm, let's first use Chaldea's energy to summon a heroic spirit for you, then you can bring them along with you to the first singularity, and provide strong support to Fujimaru Ritsuka. That way our chances of success would be much bigger"
Following Romani, Liqun headed towards Chaldea's most mystical device, the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE", Chaldea's primary source of combat power.
They arrived at the heroic spirit summoning system, which Davinci had already made prior preparations in advance.
Romani apologetically looked towards Liqun, "I'm very sorry, but due to the previous explosion, all of our summoning catalysts have been lost, so we can only summon a heroic spirit who has good compatibility with you."
Cheng Liqun waved his hand dismissively. The wave wasn't a rejection, but rather an indication that there was no need to say more. "It's just about compatibility, right? Back then, when I summoned for Artoria(the idiot king), I got her on the first try with a talisman. Everyone has some kind of compatibility, right?
excitedly rubbed his hands together, very curious as to what kind of heroic spirit he would summon, maybe he would summon Artoria? Okita Souji also wouldn't be bad, Ryogi Shiki would also be great. If I do summon Shiki, I could just let her solo Goeitia when the time comes.
Wait, why are they all saber faces? Could it be that I like anyone with that type of face? Forget it, I don't want to think about that. Time to focus on the task at hand." Cheng Liqun cleared the messy thoughts from his mind and prepared to summon his first Heroic Spirit.
But before drawing cards, wait no, before summoning, there is one thing that must be done. Liqun inquired about the location of the restroom from Dr. Romani, under his and DaVinci's confused gaze, Liqun ran towards the restroom and gave his face a good wash.
Anyone who seeks something must first burn incense, bathe, and show the utmost respect before they can expect to receive anything. This is Cheng Liqun's experience from many years of drawing cards.
Clutching his devout heart, Liqun recited the chant for the servant summoning ritual:
"Thou body art under my command; my fate bound to thee sword
Thou who followeth the will of the Holy Grail, follower of truth, answer me!
I am that who does all good in this world, I am that who embodies all the evils of the world.
Come forth through the wheel of restraint, O Guardian of the Scales."
As the Heroic Spirit Summoning System activated, Liqun and the other two stared with anticipation, hoping for a miracle to happen.
The rotation of the system became faster and faster, gradually revealing brilliant seven coloured rays of light.
Liqun internally screamed with excitement," I... a rainbow spark... Woohoo! I got it on the first try!"
Finally, the heroic spirit summoning system slowly stopped, a graceful silhouette slowly walked out of the darkness, short pink hair swaying, the summoned heroic spirit softly spoke," I, Elysia, as a being without flaws, responded to your summons and have come! May my arrows, my flowers, and my love bring you endless hope and light!"
Liqun looked at the familiar figure standing before him, felt like he was struck by a bolt of lightning, his, his mind could not bear such shock, fainting on the floor, his only thought before having fainted being
"When did fgo collaborate with the Three-Wheeled Car? Could it be that I have to fight the moon's finality? Is this for real?"
