My name is Nangong Shuo. I think I've transmigrated—ended up in what seems to be an anime world.
How did I figure that out? Well, the rainbow-colored hair, ridiculously good-looking people regardless of gender...
Come on, this setup couldn't be more obvious.
As for which anime it is, I still have no clue.
Of course, like any transmigrator worth their salt, I've got a system of my own.
Though maybe it's because the way I died was too abstract, the system I got also... leaned a bit too much into that "abstract" concept.
Name: Chaldea's Heavenly Meal.
What kind of name is that? It has nothing to do with the system! I mean, I haven't played the entire Fate franchise, but I've read all the novels—I know what Chaldea is. I even played the game for a bit!
But hey, at least the newbie starter pack is decent. I got four draws.
These four draws would determine my future combat abilities.
The categories were:
• Class Skill Draw ×1
• Unique Skill Draw ×2
• Noble Phantasm Draw ×1
Basically, I get to customize my own Servant setup.
Though let's be honest, the beginner pool probably isn't gonna have anything top-tier—definitely worse than the limited gacha pools.
And no, it's not because I have terrible luck.
It's not like I've ever done 300+ pulls without getting a single rate-up character. Nope. Never happened.
"Phew, no point overthinking it. Time to roll!"
Class Skill Draw!
Now this was worth hoping for. Chaldea Servants generally have more flexibility than the standard Holy Grail War ones. If I could draw something like auto mana regeneration, that'd be really useful—it'd help sustain my future skills in combat.
Who knows what kind of world this is? What if aliens show up the next second? Or zombies?
As a burst of deep red light filled the air, Nangong Shuo's mouth twitched slightly.
Mad Enhancement: EX
...EX-level Mad Enhancement?! That's full-on losing your sanity. Even Uncle Heracles' Mad Enhancement was only at A rank.
This skill trades rationality for a boost in all stats, especially Strength and Endurance.
But these days, usable Berserkers are rare.
As long as I don't draw any of the complete lunatics… Wait, who am I kidding? It's EX, they're all lunatics!
No worries—still got the Unique Skills. If I get something like Wisdom of the Tactician that cancels mental debuffs, I could offset Mad Enhancement. Then it'd just be pure buffs.
Unique Skill Draw complete.
Congratulations, Host has received:
• Mystic Face: EX
• Charming Pretty Boy: B
These two skills… what, am I destined to die single otherwise?
Mystic Face, from Prince Lanling, in the game required him to wear a demonic mask—otherwise, his beauty could literally kill people.
Yes, not just making them obsessed—literally kill with beauty.
Even characters like Yu Meiren and the Beast of Pleasure in the game blushed when they saw him.
Then there's Charming Pretty Boy—
Only two shota-type characters in the game have it. Even at level 1, it gives you an 80% chance to charm female characters.
At max level? A full 100% charm rate.
What does that even mean? Is this turning into a harem anime?
Well, at least I won't have to worry about my looks.
With these two skills, once the anime's main character finishes off the final boss, I can just chill and enjoy a love-comedy slice-of-life... right?
Now, all that's left is the Noble Phantasm.
But I wasn't expecting much. Without supporting skills, many Noble Phantasms are basically unusable.
Noble Phantasm Draw:
"Tempestuous Theft of Reincarnation: EX"
(天風之篡奪靈:Reincarnation Pandora)
"Reincarnation" → Avatar/Rebirth
"Pandora" → The woman who holds everything
"Avatar Pandora" — steals the enemy's Noble Phantasm.
Rank: EX
Type: —
Maximum Capture: —
Inspired by the twelfth labor of Heracles, where he stole the girdle of the Amazon queen—who was nicknamed "Whirlwind Girl." (Not explained in the original lore.)
Perfect. This setup is just chef's kiss.
I start off with zero damage output but ultimate scaling.
But if this world is filled with crazy women, especially the kind who go feral for good-looking guys, then I'm totally screwed.
As the light faded, Nangong Shuo finished accepting all his cheats.
Now, he could finally see his status screen.
Name: Nangong Shuo
Age: 20
Strength: C
Endurance: C
Agility: D+
Mana: D
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: EX
Class Skill:
• Mad Enhancement: EX
Unique Skills:
• Charming Pretty Boy: B -
A skill that exerts a charming aura over others. Affects both men and women.
Has a magical charm effect, which is weakened if the target resists.
Can be nullified by Magic Resistance.
• Mystic Face: EX -
The true face of Prince Lanling. So stunning it's recorded in historical texts.
Revealing his face causes a passive effect on all nearby individuals.
Noble Phantasm:
• Tempestuous Theft of Reincarnation: EX
(details omitted)
This build is suicide if I enter a Holy Grail War. I'd get wrecked instantly.
Unless I can first steal a proper Noble Phantasm using the info gap…
And the Master better have a ton of mana.
Otherwise, with my current pitiful mana, I'm not beating anyone.
Now that the starter pack is opened, I have to face the real problem:
Where the hell am I?
Pretty sure I didn't transmigrate with my original body. Nothing on me seems familiar.
Could this be a soul transfer? But then why don't I have any residual memories?
(Patch note: This is not actually soul transmigration. The protagonist thinks it is, but in reality, it's more of a body-swap like Scáthach and Skadi from parallel timelines.)
Left with no choice, Nangong Shuo checked everything he had on him.
About 20,000 yen—roughly 2,000 RMB.
Looks like this body's previous owner had cash to spare.
• A phone:
No signal.
• An MP3 player:
Just a portable music player.
• A keychain:
No labels. Can't tell what it opens.
• A student ID:
Finally, something useful.
Name: Nangong Shuo
School: First-year student at Raizen Public University
Raizen... huh. That name rings a bell.
Who remembers what school anime characters even go to?
It's like asking someone what school Accelerator goes to—who'd remember?
As for the name Nangong Shuo, I didn't really care.
Every system-transmigrator ends up in someone with the same name—it's practically a rule.
He found the train station and checked the line map to locate Raizen University.
He got on the train.
...Two stops later, he arrived.
This close and I took a train? People are probably gonna think I'm brain-damaged.
Then again, maybe I am.
On the way, Nangong Shuo could already feel the effects of his abilities.
People kept sneaking glances at him.
Especially the girls—their stares were so intense it felt like they were ready to eat him alive.
Yeah… I need to get myself a mask or something.
Gotta protect my chastity.
