The prologue ended.
The main story began.
But countless viewers couldn't help but erupt in frustration—
[Damn cliffhanger! How can Alaya tease us like this without any mercy?]
[Ugh, I hate two kinds of people—those who leave sentences unfinished!]
[So, what did King Solomon actually wish for?]
[Did he wish to become the planetary consciousness Gaia, only for the Holy Grail to fail, forcing him to incinerate human history and take matters into his own hands?]
[Right, the Holy Grail claims to grant any wish, but it has limits. To surpass those limits, one must abandon humanity—like becoming the Demon God King!]
...
In the prologue, King Solomon's final words were censored into black blocks.
No matter how hard people scratched at those blocks, they'd never uncover the truth—even if they ruined their screens.
Everything remained shrouded in mystery, leaving room only for wild speculation.
Back in Chaldea, Mash couldn't contain her curiosity. "Hmm, what exactly did King Solomon wish for?"
That Heroic Spirit stood at the pinnacle of all legends.
His partnership with the first director of Chaldea, Marisbury—
No, it wasn't even a partnership.
He had single-handedly dominated the entire Holy Grail War!
Not even the three Command Spells meant to bind Servants could restrain him in the slightest.
After all, this was the King of Mages.
The ultimate sovereign of all magecraft!
Command Spells couldn't control him—if anything, he could cover his Master's entire body with them instead!
"A wish? Just keep watching, and you'll find out." Da Vinci replied with a knowing smile.
She glanced sideways at the otaku doctor beside her with the corner of her eye.
Really, what an outrageous King Solomon!
When the full truth comes out later, it will surely shock everyone.
"Hmm, let's watch quietly."
Mash cautiously peeked at the adjacent conference room and whispered, "Why did those two Heroic Spirits come looking for the doctor? Are they sick?"
At around 11 a.m.
Qin Shi Huang and the King of Heroes arrived together, saying they wanted to watch videos with Dr. Roman.
No matter how Mash thought about it, she couldn't understand.
Why would those two famously powerful Grand-class Heroic Spirits seek out an ordinary human doctor?
While Dr. Roman is indeed highly skilled, his expertise is limited to treating ordinary humans or quasi-Heroic Spirits like her.
For true Heroic Spirits, he remains powerless.
They would still need the assistance of the "Universal Genius" Da Vinci.
Could there really be some unspeakable reason?
"Yes, they're sick. They're suffering from a disease that will kill them if they don't watch the show."
Da Vinci said with utter disdain.
Those two standing at the pinnacle of the Heroic Spirit pyramid are just as terrible as that unscrupulous Merlin.
Each of them insists on coming to watch the show.
"Uh, watch the show?"
Mash grew even more confused, completely failing to understand what was being said.
Could there be layers of mystery shrouding the doctor as well?
The main feature finally began.
However,
The perspective didn't immediately shift to Chaldea as before.
Instead, it arrived at a bustling city street.
Dr. Roman appeared in the frame.
But this time, the doctor was dressed as a weary traveler, hurriedly walking by with a large backpack.
Boom~
Above his head, brilliant fireworks exploded as countless people cheered to celebrate the festival.
Dr. Roman stopped and looked up at the dazzling fireworks, his face wearing a childlike, pure and innocent smile.
But this lasted only a moment.
Countless mysterious white hands suddenly appeared in Dr. Roman's eyes, frantically lunging toward him.
"My time is running out!"
Dr. Roman hurried away as if something were chasing him.
A series of images flashed by.
All related to him.
This man named Romani Archaman seemed to have been driven by a whip from the very beginning, pushing himself to the limit to study.
Astronomy, geography, medicine, and more.
In just a few years, this ordinary person had obtained certifications that would take others decades to achieve.
A true ultimate academic overachiever!
He had indeed become a doctor.
The scene shifted to a ruined wasteland.
This time, it wasn't destruction caused by a Holy Grail War, but by human conflict.
Dr. Roman began treating a wounded person.
But he failed.
The injuries were too severe, and the person died in despair.
A fly landed on the corpse, buzzing as if mocking him.
This wasn't an illusion!
In the frame,
A faint aura of destruction emanated from the fly, as if it were a demon god from hell.
It seemed to be the Sin of Gluttony—
Beelzebub!
Dr. Roman hastily left again, stumbling as he desperately fled.
Countless mysterious hands surged behind him, trying to seize him completely.
The scene abruptly ended.
From this terrifying sequence, it transitioned to a warm, cozy room.
Facing them was the first-generation director of Chaldea who had appeared in the prologue.
Marisbury smiled warmly, "Come on in and make yourself at home. My place is quite spacious, and you can rest on the bed if you're tired. Let me pour you a cup of black tea first?"
"Thank you."
Dr. Roman returned the smile.
His utterly exhausted expression finally relaxed slightly.
The first director of Chaldea continued, "Why have you stopped studying magecraft recently?"
"Sorry, but I'm just an ordinary person with no talent for magecraft whatsoever."
Dr. Roman spread his hands helplessly, "No matter how much I study, I can't compare to those magical geniuses."
"Oh, I see..."
Marisbury looked at him with a complicated gaze.
"So... could I work at your organization?" Dr. Roman asked nervously.
For an ordinary person to want to work at Chaldea, an institution dedicated to preserving human history, was practically unthinkable.
That's why he planned to go through the backdoor via the first director.
"With pleasure!"
Marisbury paused briefly before continuing, "If anything unexpected happens in the future, I'd feel completely at ease leaving Chaldea in your hands."
If the doctor's request had seemed like backdoor dealings before,
the first director's current affirmation carried an especially subtle implication.
This left many viewers increasingly puzzled—
[So isn't the final Singularity supposed to be King Solomon? Why keep focusing on this ordinary Dr. Roman?]
[Dr. Roman is quite the ultimate academic, but unfortunately, studying medicine can't save humanity, so he had to join Chaldea.]
[Let's get to the main event and go fight King Solomon!]
[Is there a possibility that King Solomon is connected to Dr. Roman? After all, both the prologue and the beginning of this main story have them together with the first director!]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! If that were the case, I could do a handstand on a cactus!]
In the Chaldea conference room.
Qin Shi Huang said with a smile, "King of Heroes, why do you think the camera keeps focusing on Dr. Roman? Is it hinting at the doctor's true identity?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The doctor is just an ordinary shut-in who likes Meili!" Gilgamesh said, his lips curling into a particularly joyful smile.
And caught between the two, like cheese in a sandwich, was the doctor.
At this moment, he was feeling a bit restless.
Dr. Roman chuckled awkwardly, "Um, are you thirsty? I can pour you a cup of black tea?"
These two guys were clearly here to publicly execute his dark history.
This is too much!
Ever since he learned that the new video was related to King Solomon, he had been in a panic, and now these two had come to stir up trouble!
"Dr. Roman, sit down! Let's watch the video together," Gilgamesh said, pressing down on his shoulder.
