"It's been ten years since I came to this world..."

Tong Shen stroked the broken gun head in front of him, which was full of historical atmosphere, and muttered to himself.

Ten years ago, when he had not yet come to this world, he would never have imagined that one day he would travel through time and space and become one of the most hated male anime characters.

The body he was standing in front of was actually named Shinji Matou.

He is a character in the game and anime of the same name "Fate/stay night", the eldest son of the famous magic family Matou.

Although this guy has outstanding appearance, he has a very bad personality and is full of distorted self-esteem and vanity. He is a hateful and pathetic character like a clown.

In the original plot, since Shinji Matou had no talent for magic, in order to pass on the magic circuit, the Matou family adopted a girl with outstanding magical talent, named Sakura Toosaka, from the Toosaka family, which is also a famous magic family.

From then on, Shinji Matou had a sister who was not related by blood.

At the beginning, Shinji Matou was extremely hostile to his sister, but he soon discovered that this sister, who was renamed Matou Sakura, was a taciturn and mediocre person, so he began to acknowledge her.

Until later, he accidentally discovered that room - the naked girl in the center of the room, the black swarm of insects, the terrifying grandfather, and the father who glanced at him with eyes he had never seen before, as if he saw trouble...

The reversal of reality and ideal makes Shinji Matou's character more distorted.

He vaguely understood that he was the dispensable person in the Matou family. He was afraid of being replaced by Sakura, so he became more and more irritable and often abused Sakura who was submissive. In the end, he even raped her on the grounds that "you have to hand over something to make amends"...

Thinking back to the original story of Matou Shinji, Tong Shen ten years ago suddenly felt disgusted.

As a Chinese youth with normal values, Tong Shen would naturally not become the kind of person in the original novel.

But Tong Shen felt that this alone was not enough.

Because the root cause of the tragic fate of Shinji Matou and Sakura Matou is not just Shinji's twisted personality and the Matou family's need for inheritance, but the current head of the Matou family, Zouken Matou.

This old guy is ostensibly the grandfather of Matou Shinji and Matou Sakura, but in fact he was the first head of the Matou family six generations ago, an old monster who has survived for five hundred years by relying on evil means.

Even if he changed from the twisted clown in the original work to a good brother who truly cared about his sister, he could not change the fate of Sakura Matou.

She would still undergo the magic transformation of the Matou family at a young age, and eventually be transformed into a qualified heir to the Matou family's magic circuit.

To be honest, if you only look at the purpose, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.

However, in order to realize his own ambitions, Matou Zouken added many things that should be humanely destroyed during the process of inheriting the seal, such as implanting a large number of seal worms into Sakura's body.

These disgusting bugs would go in and out of various holes in her body...

Tong Shen didn't even dare to think about more disgusting situations.

For a five-year-old girl, this is undoubtedly a huge shadow that will accompany her throughout her life.

So, after three days of ideological struggle, Tong Shen, who was only six years old physically but mature mentally, finally made a difficult decision.

He wanted to take Sakura away from the clutches of the Matou family before Matou Zouken attacked her.

It is impossible for him to achieve this with his six-year-old body.

So he found a way to contact his uncle, the only man in the Matou family who had a rebellious spirit, Matou Kariya.

In the end, after a series of intense twists and turns, Tong Shen finally got his wish, and with the help of Matou Kariya, he escaped from the Matou family with Sakura and quietly came to the Chinese continent at that time.

At the same time, thanks to Matou Kariya's advance arrangements, their identity problems were also resolved.

Later in the orphanage, Tong Shen relied on his memories of his previous life to show extremely outstanding learning ability and became a famous child prodigy in City X. Many families who had lost their fertility wanted to adopt them.

But Tong Shen did not make a decision immediately, but carefully selected his future adoptive parents.

In the end, he chose a couple named Tong. The adoptive father was a math teacher at the local high school, and the adoptive mother was a disabled person who lost her lower body in a rear-end car accident.

The couple had a very strong relationship and had no constraints from their elders at home, so they decided to adopt a child.

Tong Shen got what he wanted. He found a family to entrust his sister to, and was able to change back to his previous life's name and escape from his identity as an ordinary person. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone and achieved mutual benefit and win-win results.

The brother and sister forgot the past and lived a quiet life in China.

With the help of Tong Shen's foresight, his adoptive father quit his teaching position and started an electronic products business with his savings.

By the time Tong Shen was seventeen years old, the Tong family had some assets, so it was not too difficult to support him studying abroad.

Tong's father originally wanted Tong Shen to study abroad in Europe and the United States like the children of his business partners, but Tong Shen said that he wanted to go to Japan, and specifically asked to go to Hogunhara Academy in Fuyuki City to attend high school.

At that time, anti-Japanese sentiment was still quite strong among the Chinese people.

Tong's father was extremely dissatisfied with his adopted son's decision, and the two had a rare big fight.

But no matter what, Tong Shen still insisted on his decision, and Tong's father had no choice but to follow his wishes.

So, Tong Shen returned to Fuyuki City as he wished and became a transfer student of Hogunhara Academy.

The reason why he insisted on coming back here was naturally because of Matou Kariya.

In order to rescue Tong Shen and Matou Sakura, Matou Kariya stayed alone in Fuyuki City to cover their retreat. Since then, he lost contact with Tong Shen and no news of him has been received since then.

Although Tong Shen never mentioned it, he was always thinking about this lifesaver in his heart.

For ten years, he and Ying lived a peaceful life in China, but the person who truly deserved happiness was in an uncertain state of life or death. This was unfair.

Therefore, Tong Shen came back this time with the intention of becoming a Master and participating in the upcoming Fifth Holy Grail War.

The so-called Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that can fulfill all the wishes of its holder.

About once every sixty years, the spiritual power in the leylines of Fuyuki City accumulates to a level sufficient to support the advent of the Holy Grail, but in the end, only a pair of Servants and Masters can obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill their wishes. Seven magician Masters lead their summoned Heroic Servants, and a war breaks out for ownership of the Holy Grail, which is known as the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

As the name suggests, the purpose of the war is to fight for the Holy Grail.

But Tong Shen, as a time traveler who knows the plot, is not interested in the abnormal Holy Grail at the moment. He participates in the Holy Grail War mainly to use the power of heroic spirits to fight back to the Matou family and rescue Matou Yanye, whose life and death are uncertain.

If possible, he also wanted to kill that disgusting old monster Matou Zouken.

Of course, all of this is based on an extremely important premise.

That is, he must summon a heroic spirit and become one of the seven masters before the time limit arrives.

Originally, Shinji Matou had no talent as a magician, so it was impossible for him to become the Master of a Heroic Spirit.

But Tong Shen is different. He finds that his soul seems extremely special. After traveling to the body of Matou Shinji, some mysterious power in his soul is constantly transforming this body.

At the same time, the bloodline of the Matou family that Shinji Matou possesses, that is, the genetic factors, still retains traces of magic circuits.

As long as there is a sufficiently strong external force interference, the closed circuit will be forced to open.

Therefore, under the transformation of the mysterious power from the soul, the magic circuits in Tong Shen's body gradually became connected.

Today, he has completely opened up his magic circuit and officially become a magician.

Thinking of this, Tong Shen couldn't help but raise his right hand and look at the watch on his wrist.

"There are still three hours left..." Tong Shen said to himself.

According to the process of the Holy Grail War, once the spiritual power in the earth veins accumulates to a level sufficient to support the advent of the Holy Grail, the next step is to select seven masters who are suitable to participate in the war.

Once all seven Masters and Heroic Spirits have appeared, the Holy Grail War will begin.

To date, the Holy Grail War has lasted for nearly two hundred years.

Just ten years after the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Fifth Holy Grail War broke out again.

This is because the Fourth Holy Grail War ended with most of the magic power stored in the Greater Holy Grail unused, so it did not take much time to refill the magic power.

As for the seven Masters...

Generally speaking, the three major families of Einzbern, Matou, and Tōsaka are basically the ones that are chosen internally.

However, due to Tong Shen's time-travel effect, there should be no qualified person in the Matou family now.

Unless Matou Zouken personally participates... or his savior, Matou Kariya, whose life or death is unknown.

Thinking of this, Tong Shen's eyes revealed a complicated expression.

But he soon calmed down.

According to his observations over the past few days, Toosaka Rin of the Toosaka family, who is also Matou Sakura's biological sister and the girl he just secretly photographed, should not have summoned a Heroic Spirit yet.

Shirou Emiya, the protagonist of the story, did not summon Saber either.

Therefore, according to Tong Shen's understanding of the plot, there should be three vacant job classes at the moment: Saber, Archer, and the possible existence of Rider.

"Although I came a little late, it's not too late..."

Tong Shen said this secretly in his heart as he took off the broken gun tip.

In order to summon a Heroic Servant and sign a contract, a medium related to the Heroic Servant of interest, namely a Holy Relic, is usually required.

These are extremely expensive things such as swords, armor, emblems, and even bone fragments that the Heroic Spirits once held.

Since Tong Shen wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, he naturally prepared similar things.

The three ancient artifacts in front of him were the holy relics that he had collected from China at a great price.

According to the antique dealer who was once a tomb robber, they are respectively the tip of the spear that Yue Fei used to practice martial arts, the Qinggang sword that once shone brightly in Zhao Yun's hands, and the bones of the Red Hare horse that Lu Bu and Guan Yu once rode!
