The screen was black again, but this time, the post-death analysis was brutal.
[YOU WERE ELIMINATED BY PLAYER 'xX_Dad_Eater_Xx'][KILLCAM: ENABLED]
Maverick watched the replay. It was humiliating. The camera panned to a rooftop overlooking the Fuyuki Airport tarmac. Lying prone, hidden perfectly among the air conditioning units, was another player.
As soon as Maverick had stepped out of the plane—smiling like an idiot and waving at an empty runway—the other player had fired a single .50 caliber round.
Boom. Headshot.
[TIP: In Multiplayer Mode, the "Preparation Phase" is crucial. You can fly to various global locations to acquire resources before the war starts. Flying directly to the War Zone unprepared is... ill-advised.][TIP: You have 0 Servants. Summoning must be completed BEFORE the Holy Grail War timer hits zero. You cannot summon once the war begins.]
Maverick sighed, leaning back in his chair in the respawn void. "Okay. Okay. I got greedy."
[Chat]:[KekW]: GO HOME MAVERICK. [Stream_Sniper]: LMAO "xX_Dad_Eater_Xx"? What a name. [Detective_Pikachu]: Wait, hold on. The game just launched. How did that guy get to Fuyuki so fast? And with a sniper rifle? [Speedrunner]: Different starting locations. Each Master probably starts in their home base. If someone spawned closer to Japan, they could get there first and set up a camp. [Tactician]: Maverick's death was fair. Walking out of a plane onto an open tarmac in a Battle Royale? Rookie mistake. [Simp_4_Saber]: Mav, stop messing around. Go back to the old man. Summon a Servant. If you have a supernatural bodyguard, maybe you won't get spawn-camped by a 12-year-old.
"Fine," Maverick grumbled. "Chat is right. I need backup. I need a ghost bodyguard."
He respawned back in the snowy forest. He walked into the Einzbern Chapel for the fifth time.
"You have arrived," Jubstacheit said. The AI seemed to carry a hint of exhaustion, as if it remembered Maverick's previous incompetence.
This time, Maverick selected [Option 1: "Let us begin."]
A faint, disdainful smile touched the old man's lips. "Finally. You show some sense."
Jubstacheit gestured, and a heavy, ornate wooden box materialized on the altar. He opened it.
Inside lay a scabbard. It was ancient, woven from blue and gold enamel, radiating a holy, magical energy that made the air hum.
"As you requested," Jubstacheit said, his voice dripping with arrogance. "The Einzbern family has spent a fortune to acquire this catalyst. Avalon. The lost scabbard of King Arthur."
Maverick's eyes widened. "King Arthur?"
"Indeed," the old man continued. "With this, you will summon the King of Knights himself. The strongest Saber Class. With him, winning this war will be as trivial as crushing an insect."
"Saber Class?" Maverick repeated, tilting his head.
Jubstacheit's eyes narrowed. "You... you truly are unprepared, aren't you? Listen well, Kiritsugu. I will explain this only once."
The old man began to pace, his voice echoing in the stone hall.
"The Holy Grail War is a ritual. Seven Magi summon seven Heroic Spirits. These spirits are not the full entities, but 'Classes'—facets of their legends optimized for combat."
"First, the Three Knight Classes. These possess high Magic Resistance."
"Saber: The Knight of the Sword. Highest base stats. The strongest class for direct combat."
"Lancer: The Knight of the Lance. Highest agility. Masters of hit-and-run tactics."
"Archer: The Knight of the Bow. Possesses 'Independent Action,' allowing them to survive without a Master for up to three days. Dangerous and unpredictable."
"Then, the Four Cavalry Classes."
"Rider: Mounted soldiers. They possess powerful Noble Phantasms—legendary mounts or vehicles."
"Caster: The Magician. Weak in direct combat, but capable of 'Territory Creation.' They build fortresses and lay traps."
"Assassin: The Silent Killer. Weak stats, but possesses 'Presence Concealment.' They can kill a Master before anyone realizes they are there."
"Berserker: The Mad Warrior. They sacrifice sanity for raw power. Monsters of destruction, but difficult to control."
Jubstacheit stopped pacing and pointed a bony finger at Maverick's right hand.
"Finally, you possess three Command Spells. These red markings are absolute orders. Use them to force your Servant to obey a command they would otherwise refuse, or to perform a miracle."
Maverick looked down at his hand. Three intricate, crimson geometric seals were glowing faintly on his skin.
"King Arthur is the strongest Saber," Jubstacheit finished. "Do not waste this opportunity. Do not fail the Einzbern family."
Maverick stared at the Command Spells. The chat was losing its collective mind.
[Chat]:[Lore_God]: HOLY CRAP. THIS LORE IS DEEP. [History_Buff]: Summoning King Arthur?! Dude, if I can summon historical figures, I'm summoning George Washington with a laser rifle. [Fate_Fan]: Wait, King Arthur? So it's the guy from the legends? That's awesome. [Moba_Player]: Sounds like a MOBA. Tank, DPS, Support, Jungler. Saber is the carry. [Gacha_Addict]: "Independent Action"? That sounds broken. If I kill the Master, the Archer just... keeps fighting? That's terrifying. [Troll_101]: Maverick, pick Berserker! Tell the old man you want Berserker Arthur! MAX DAMAGE! [Noob_Master]: Don't listen to them. Arthur is boring. Go find a catalyst for Napoleon. [Culture_Vulture]: Wait a minute... "Command Spells"? "Force them to do things they don't want to do"? [Hentai_Protagonist]:Sweating heavily.[FBI_Agent]: @Hentai_Protagonist We are watching you. [Theory_Crafter]: Pass it on: The author has some... specific fetishes. Control issues, maybe? [Stream_Mod]: Pass it on: The author is definitely into S&M. [Mav_Fan]: Pass it on: Maverick is impotent.
"Hey!" Maverick shouted at the chat. "Stop analyzing the author's psyche and focus! This is huge. I get King Arthur? The sword in the stone guy? That's an easy win."
He looked at the scabbard, Avalon.
"Alright, old man," Maverick said, grinning. "Let's bring out the King. I'm ready to win this thing."
