Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 The Second Simulation, The Appearance of The Most Ancient Hikikomori

[For this simulation, the host carries the talents: Mana Affinity, White Dragon Bloodline.]

[Simulation begins.]

Similar to the previous simulation, Ryuya was once again born in Camelot, the city of the North. However, slightly different this time, being born with the White Dragon Bloodline further enhanced his growth.

[By the time you were fourteen, your strength was already the greatest under Vortigern's command in the entire North. Looking at you with gratification, Vortigern asked what you wanted to do.]

["Father, I wish to travel, to see more of the world."]

[Feeling an unusual yearning for the southern parts of Britain, you set off on your journey.]

[Along the way, you witnessed many feudal lords treating human life as worthless. Following your heart, you eradicated these injustices one by one. Your reputation began to spread throughout Britain.]

[Concealing your surname, you proclaimed yourself a traveler from a distant foreign land. Because of your white eyes, steed, and armor, the name 'The Pure White Knight' spread far and wide.]

[You arrived at Camelot. Here, you witnessed the falsehood beneath its renowned surface. Disagreeing with everything about this city, you instinctively felt Uther was unworthy of being your father's rival.]

[Leaving Camelot, you discovered an old castle in the outskirts. You entered directly and met the witch, Morgan le Fay.]

[Morgan was somewhat surprised by your appearance. In her memory, everyone feared her existence, but you were different.]

[You began spending time together. Gradually, Morgan le Fay found herself drawn to you. She fell in love with you.]

[After living by Morgan's side for a year, at fifteen, you prepared to leave Camelot and return to the North.]

[You confessed your identity to Morgan. Unsurprisingly, Morgan decided to go with you.]

"Is, before we leave, I want to see this place one more time."

"I understand, Morgan."

Nodding, having experienced this once before, Ryuya was even more indulgent towards Morgan. Expressing his willingness to leave with her, he naturally agreed.

[As they were about to leave, Morgan wanted to bid farewell to the city. Although it held only painful memories for her, it was, after all, the place where she grew up.]

[You agreed to Morgan's request and walked through Camelot with her one last time.]

[But an accident occurred. The knight responsible for delivering supplies discovered Morgan's departure and reported it to King Uther. You and Morgan were discovered by the knights before you could leave.]

[King Uther found you. Looking at the guy who tried to 'abduct' his daughter, he was momentarily stunned, feeling a strange familiarity with your identity.]

["Who are you?"]

In the simulator's world, Ryuya found Uther resembled Vortigern but gave off an inexplicable... how to say it? A feeling of incompetence.

Uther, unaware that Ryuya was his brother's son, felt the resonance of the Pendragon Bloodline.

Simply finding Ryuya familiar, he was unexpectedly not angry.

["My name is Isbel. I am Morgan's beloved."]

[Facing Uther and the group of knights, you instinctively shielded Morgan behind you.]

["Isbel? You are the Pure White Knight?"]

Hearing Ryuya's self-introduction, and seeing Morgan standing behind him, tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, Uther laughed.

["Pure White Knight, I have heard of you. You are a true warrior."]

["Pledge your loyalty to me. I believe you can become my successor."]

[The Pendragon Bloodline and his appreciation for talent made Uther want to recruit you.]

[Facing this situation, your options are: A. Temporarily agree, seek an opportunity to leave later. B. Refuse directly, fight your way out.]

"I choose A."

Ryuya felt that even after refusing Uther, he would still be able to escape Camelot with his White Dragon Bloodline, but Morgan might not be so lucky.

Ryuya had long regarded Morgan as his true wife. Regardless of whether this world was just a simulator scenario, having lived here for so many years, he had come to see it as another life.

[Looking directly into Uther's eyes, you stated that you were a knight loyal only to the people and would never become Uther's subject.]

[Admiring your words, Uther agreed to your condition.]

[You became a knight of Camelot and continued living with Morgan.]

[Three years later, through battles in and around Camelot, you gradually displayed your power and earned fame. Many knights and nobles regarded you as an idol, and even Morgan was gradually accepted by many.]

[You occasionally corresponded with your father, the Vile King. Learning that you were undercover in Camelot, the Vile King didn't say much, only telling you to handle things as you saw fit.]

[On this day, at eighteen, you were summoned to the royal palace by Uther. Patting your shoulder, Uther pointed to a woman nearby and said, "Is, this is the legendary Succubus, the royal advisor I sought, Merlin Ambrosius."]

[He recounted the various genius feats and special abilities of the royal advisor Merlin.]

["Hello, you must be the Pure White Knight? Nice to meet you, I'm Merlin, an Succubus."]

In the magnificent palace hall, Ryuya saw a girl of astonishing beauty.

Merlin Ambrosius, she was a maiden as beautiful as a dream.

Naturally silver-haired with purple eyes, her hair, like moonlight, emitted a faint glow. Her slender, delicate figure possessed feminine charm, coupled with a touch of allure and sensuality.

The entire person seemed like a fantasy stepped out of a dream. With just one glance, he felt as if he was in a fairyland, unable to believe such enchanting, dazzling scenery truly existed in the mortal world.

Smiling while looking at Ryuya, the Succubus named Merlin extended her hand.

["Hello, my name is Isbel."]

Looking at Merlin, Ryuya deduced that in this world's version, King Arthur was likely the male Arthur, not the female Artoria.

After all, in the Type-Moon World, the pairings of male Merlin with female Artoria, and female Merlin with male Arthur, were never swapped… they were the perfect partners.
