In Tokyo, plenty of skyscrapers can be seen by the naked eye. Here, Mikazuki Fujiwara lived a life of luxury and solitude. At sixteen, Mika–as his parents called him–was a second-generation tech heir. He was born into wealth without the arrogance that came with it.
His mother, who was an intelligent entrepreneur from Kyoto, built their tech empire with his father, a man of Italian-Japanese descent whose grandfather had fled post-war Italy to find a new purpose in Japan.
Together, they ran Fuji Innovations, a powerhouse in the tech industry with its core in AI gaming to create virtual worlds that captured the world's attention. It is as if it was the precursor to the era of "Ready Player One" but in the real world. This in turn made the business successful and raking in money in the millions.
In the sprawling penthouse in Shibuya, Mika can be seen sitting in front of his gaming setup. One can smell a faint scent of instant noodles and energy drinks in the room. As an introvert, he avoided the bustling streets below, the crowded trains, and the usual high school cliques.
He only ever goes out when there's a special event that he is interested in like a pop-up store or a limited edition piece, only available in store. His parents instilled in him humility that money was a tool, not a crown–to keep him grounded and not cause trouble.
One evening, the city outside looked peaceful in the middle of a snowfall.
Mika's mother knocked on his door, "Mika, dinner's ready. We made your favorite–omurice with a side of miso soup."
Mika paused his game and responded back, "Uh, I'll be down there soon, Mom."
Mika was in the middle of a heavily-modded Fallout 4 playthrough, where every enemy was legendary and randomized after coming out of Vault 111. It's even more challenging since it's being done on Survival difficulty.
He walked out of the room and headed downstairs to have dinner with his parents. Mika rubbed his ruffled dark hair as he sat down.
His father just finished setting up the table, "Ah, Mika! Finally getting out of your cave? How's your current conquest, son?"
Mika looked at his dad while fiddling with his silver earring—a habit whenever he's nervous, "It's pretty difficult, dad. The mods make it insane since everything is legendary, they take longer and harder to kill. If I was transported in that world, I'd probably just hole up and make an unbreakable base and brush on whatever modern knowledge I still retain."
His mother laughed, while pouring tea, "Oh sweetheart, this is why we want you to work with us at the company. Your mind will definitely be a boon to everyone there with your ideas."
Mika shrugged, "Maybe, but the crowds…people…it's a lot to go through. I think I'll stay here. Much less judgements and no awkward silences."
His parents laughed as they knew about their son's introverted behaviour. As they ate, Mika's personality about his recent playthrough and his future plans. They simply encouraged Mika with his dreams and plans as they are there to support his endeavors.
His mother asked, "Aren't you going to that anime convention happening tomorrow? How about taking it easy over there and have fun? Maybe you can snag a limited edition merch there."
The rest of the conversation simply flowed into family stories or business strategies before Mika excused himself and went back to his room.
Mika thought, "Maybe one day–I'll be as confident as those protagonists in anime but for now, I'll stay in my own cave."
Mika continued his playthrough for a while before finally turning in for the night. He still needs to get ready for the anime convention tomorrow.
The next day, Mika ventured alone to Tokyo's biggest anime convention. His parents left on a business trip that morning and wished him a wonderful day. He took the train and managed to get into the convention with no problems.
After wandering around, he saw some replicas from games he loved to play. He splurged on a Stake Driver used by Wylder from Elden Ring: Nightreign as well as an ornate Gourd used by the Destined One from Black Myth: Wukong. After strapping the Stake Driver on his left arm and securing the gourd on his hip, Mika's smile bloomed and felt empowered.
As he was passing by a nearby booth, Mika spotted a silver necklace with the Assassin's Creed logo etched on it.
The vendor grinned, "This one is a custom-made necklace. Perfect for a little fan like you."
Mika asked, "How much?"
"Ten thousand yen. Worth every yen for the detail," the vendor answered.
Mika handed over the cash without haggling and wore it around his neck. With a smile on his face, he continued to wander the convention.
After a grueling day, Mika finally hopped on a train back home with his props still worn on him. The train rattled into motion, packed with tired attendees.
Mika smirked as he played with his new necklace, "Perhaps mom was right. Maybe it's a good idea to go out again."
In the next minute, the train suddenly shook hard. Alarms were blaring inside as the intercom told the passengers to remain calm and not panic. An earthquake hit the area hard as lights flickered and people panicked.
One passenger shouted, "Don't panic!!"
Unfortunately, his shout was drowned out by the people panicking anyways. Mika was panicking inside as he could only huddle up in his corner, so that he won't get hurt.
Mika thought fearfully, "T-This can't be happening. Mom. Dad. I'm scared…"
Mika gripped the pole and clutched his necklace to find solace in. Suddenly a deafening crack split the air. Debris came down on him.
Someone shouted to Mika, "Watch out!!"
But it was too late, Mika was buried by a sudden disaster. Darkness consumed his consciousness but by a stroke of luck, his body suddenly dissolved into motes of light as he was transported to a new world.
[Welcome Traveler]
[WARNING!! Traveler is in critical condition]
[Administering Newbie Gacha Roll]
Three wheels suddenly appeared in front of Mika's body. The first wheel spun rapidly as if Mika was awake right now, he would see names of series he recognized.
[Fairy Tail]
[Demon Slayer]
[God of War]
[Minecraft]
[Genshin Impact]
[Douluo Dalu]
[Avatar the Last Airbender]
The wheel slowed down as it stopped. The name of the series it landed on was—
[Fate Grand Order]
The second wheel started to spin now. In this wheel, one can see the words—
[Props]
[Weapons]
[Magecraft]
[Noble Phantasms]
[Skills]
[Knowledge]
[Vehicles]
The second wheel had finally slowed down before it landed on—
[Skills]
The last wheel finally spun as countless skills scrolled through the wheel before landing on—
[Golden Rule (Body) - Rank B]
Skill Type: Passive
Rank: B (High reliability for bodily preservation and enhancement, adaptable to user's base parameters, with mid-tier transformative effects)
Description (from Fate Lore):
"The possession of a natural and perfect goddess-like body constitution. The figure will not change no matter how many calories are absorbed. Unlike the Natural Body Skill whose body shape does not change over time, it is at the level of a goddess who 'does not change in anything but hair length'." This skill ensures an unchanging ideal form, resisting physical degradation from lifestyle, age, or minor ailments, while subtly enhancing allure and vitality.
Benefits:
Bodily Preservation: Resilience to fatigue, minor injuries, and environmental wear.
Regeneration: Minor HP recovery over time.
Allure Boost: Subtle Charisma modifier, drawing admirers and easing social stealth.
Sexual Enhancements: Optimized proportions for pleasure; immunity to sexual diseases ensures risk-free encounters.
Warning: Due to the skill's emphasis on a "possession of a natural and perfect goddess-like body," host's masculine features will soften progressively into an androgynous, femboy-like figure—refined, ethereal beauty with subtle feminine grace (e.g., smoother contours, fuller lips, and a slender, curvaceous harmony reminiscent of Astolfo.)
Once the selected skill had been finalized, Mika floated into the air to start the transformation. A warm glow slowly spread through his body. His messy dark hair stayed wavy and wild, but it softened up, flowing like silk with those ashen tips catching the light just right, revealing a face that's gone all delicate and pretty. His sharp gray-blue eyes widened a bit, his lashes getting longer, turning that stare into something more inviting and mysterious.
His cheekbones are still high, but everything rounded out— his cheeks a touch fuller, nose slimmer, lips plumper and always looking kissable with that subtle shine. The jawline softened too, losing the hard edges for a gentle curve.
His neck stretches elegant, shoulders narrow down, chest stays flat but gets this soft smoothness and a waist that pulls one in for that subtle hourglass hint, as well as his hips flare just enough to give his walk a slight sway.
His legs look longer, thighs plush yet toned—his whole body's like porcelain now, flawless and glowing, blending his Japanese-Italian roots into this ambiguous, feminine charm that's equal parts guy and goddess.
Though Mika had finally completed his transformation and healed his wounds through the [Golden Rule (Body)] skill, his clothes were still in tatters and blood stained it. Luckily the props he was wearing also came with him, if only to simply remind him of his old world. He was still unconscious as he was in the middle of crossing worlds.
[Now entering world: Assassin's Creed 2]
[Setting: Tuscany, 1473–Outside Wall of Monteriggioni]
The blood-stained unconscious Mika was laid leaning against the wall of Monteriggioni near daybreak. Some passersby had already set off to their farm work when they saw Mika.
One of them yelled in Italian, "Someone get the doctor and inform SignorAuditore!!"
Someone went to fetch the doctor while one of the mercenaries ran off to tell Mario Auditore the sudden news.
Mika now starts his journey as a Traveler once he wakes up in a familiar world.
