In Type-Moon: Creating a Magecraft Family Lineage

[Creating 'Academy City' was an idea you had before—when you created the Magecraft of the Mind and 'The Book of the Law'.]

[The magic system you created is, after all, a dual taboo that blends miracles and magecraft. It is neither recognized by the Church nor accepted by the Mage's Association. Therefore, you need an absolutely safe place to store your knowledge.]

[You place all the knowledge you have learned and obtained in this life into Academy City.]

[A total of 103,000 books.]

[In Academy City, you hold your promised wedding with Anna. There are only three guests at the wedding, the other three residents of Academy City, the other three princesses.]

[This year is 1918. You are twenty-three, Anna is nineteen.]

[You spend a wonderful night.]

[After that, your life cycles between practicing magecraft and traveling between Academy City and Fuyuki. You live peacefully and contentedly with Anna. Your life is harmonious and warm.]

[Yes, you—with the four princesses.]

[In 1927, the ambitious rulers of the Far East gradually reveal their thoughts of foreign conquest.]

[You plan a mysterious assassination, but are stopped by an external force. You know this is the World's Counter Force, or the World's Inhibitory Force, which maintains the course of history, at work.]

[But you do not give up.]

[In 1928, you unite with many like-minded youths and plan a military mutiny within the Far East.]

[It also ends in failure.]

[1930, 1932, 1936... you travel between the surface world and the reverse side of the Far East, making all sorts of efforts, but ultimately you cannot prevent the outbreak of war.]

[In 1937, after twenty years of peace following the end of the World War, the Second World War breaks out.]

[During this period, you even miss the outbreak of the Holy Grail War.]

[Damn that Counter Force, you think.]

[But you finally succeed. Because your actions successfully attract the attention of the Counter Force, but you secretly use 'Academy City' to cultivate a resistance force and inform the countries that are about to be invaded in advance, telling them of all the ambitions and conspiracies of the Far East.]

[Although the war still breaks out unavoidably, you have reduced many of the casualties.]

[You have done your utmost.]

[The war breaks out quickly, and ends quickly.]

[In 1945, the Far East announces its surrender, and the World War ends. At the same time, you receive news that in this war, the Mage's Association and the Church have also participated. They jointly crusaded against the leaders of the war and signed an agreement to cease hostilities after the war, no longer being enemies on the surface.]

[Your life returns to peace.]

[You continue to study magecraft and mystery, constantly striving for excellence.]

[In your later years, you occasionally encounter mystic enforcers.]

[They come looking for you, but you send them all back.]

[You created Academy City, but you do not accept students. You just quietly pull the consciousness of every visiting magus in, subtly influencing them, using them as 'anchors' for the Magecraft of the Mind.]

[Academy City exists in the mind; it is a holy land of the mind.]

[This is your definition.]

[In 1971, you are already seventy-six years old. This year, your appearance is still young, but you are old and frail. As a magus, you did not choose to use mystic means to extend your life, only retaining your original appearance.]

[A life should have a beginning and an end, even if it is only a 'simulated' life.]

[You will die as a mortal—just like the Magus-King, Solomon.]

[By your side, Anastasia, who has accompanied you for decades, is the same. She has maintained her youthful appearance with the power of the spirits, but her three older sisters have already passed away in their early years—also with youthful appearances. Their bodies are eternally preserved in the deepest part of Academy City.]

[Finally, you fall into a deep sleep in the arms of the still-youthful Anna.]

[Before falling asleep, you remember your childhood, walking into the prioress's basement and discovering a magical scene. You remember being invited by Nicholas II to step into the Kremlin. You remember again your first meeting with the young girl.]

[You say to her: 'I hope we can meet again.']

[Anastasia smiles gently.]

['Next time, I will definitely succeed in pranking you.']

[These are her last words to you.]

[At the end of April this year, you wither away with the cherry blossoms in a city of the Far East.]

[Aged 76.]

...

In 1971, the Department of Astronomy at the Clock Tower observed a drastic change in the stars. The contemporary Lord of the department calculated that this was the sign of the death of the world's most ferocious and evil man, who had been wanted by both the Church and the Mage's Association—Lu Kang Luvest. This man, who in his youth had challenged the two behemoths of the mystic world with his own power, lived the latter half of his life in obscurity. Finally, after his death, although the Mage's Association did not immediately revoke the list of his various crimes, it did acknowledge his contributions to the field of mystery. Especially in 1973, when that Lord of the Department of Astronomy, by observing the changes in the stars, found the old site of the former court library and found that Book of the Law. After that, no one could deny his achievements, just as no one could deny his evil.

He was the most ferocious and evil of men. But he was also a mystic explorer without any taboos.

—From "The Clock Tower Chronicles"

...

1993. London, England.

In a student dormitory at the Clock Tower headquarters, the long night finally reached its end. Lu Kang, leaning against the window, slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if he had just had a dream. A dream that was utterly real. In the dream, he had lived a long life of seventy-six years, finally dying peacefully in the arms of his beloved... Seventy-six years of life had passed in reality in just one night.

The next second, the rising sun broke through the night curtain in the distance and fell, piercing into the deep eyes of the seventeen-year-old youth. He was jolted back to his senses, suddenly wide awake! The experiences of seventy-six years in his mind receded like a tide, flowing into the deepest storeroom of his consciousness, becoming a book waiting to be opened. Only when his mind stirred would this 'past' experience emerge from his mind.

Other than that, he was still himself. This simulator is really convenient, Lu Kang thought. This way, I don't have to worry about being corroded by too many experiences and becoming old before my time.

But in the next second, as the memories receded, new information flowed out, just like the first time he had started the simulator. But this time, the information came faster, more fiercely. And there was an inexplicable power surging up. This was...

[Simulation End]

[Calculating Simulation Results...]

[Calculation Complete]

[Simulation Summary: Born in 1895, you started low. As a commoner, you were taken in by a convent in your youth and, by a chance opportunity, stepped into the world of mystery. From then on, you walked a legendary path. You were admired by countless people, but also feared by countless people. Some called you an angel, a messenger of God, but others said you were a demon, the most ferocious criminal in the world. However, regardless of how others evaluated you, you completed your own great undertaking, creating a god unique to yourself.]

[You have done your utmost to achieve perfection, but limited by the era, there were ultimately restrictions. If you had been born in a more ancient era, perhaps your achievements could have been even greater?]

[Evaluation: S (Slightly lowered due to era limitations)]

[Inherited Crest: Magecraft of the Mind]

[Inherited Magic Circuits: 46 (23 + 23)]

[Already Activated by Default]

[...]

Lu Kang browsed, digesting. Wait a minute—

"Activated by default?"

Seeing the last words, he jolted. It is well known that when a magus first steps into the field of mystery, in the initial stage of inheriting a crest or awakening circuits, it is always unavoidable for the magical energy in their body to go out of control.

And so, the next second...

BOOM!

The Bounded Field of the magic workshop that Lu Kang had painstakingly set up, even spending all his living expenses on, shattered completely. The windows shattered, glass flying everywhere. Amidst the rolling dust, someone started banging on the door.

"Hey, Lu Kang, are you okay? What the hell are you doing so early in the morning?!"

Waver Velvet's voice came from outside, his tone urgent and panicked.
