PROLOGUE: The Troublesome Hero's Beginning
Italic = Inner thoughts
The Holy Grail War; A fierce competition between 7 chosen magi to decide the ownership of the omnipotent wish granting device known as the Holy Grail. These "magi" will make use of Heroic Spirits, bound to their Masters as familiars, also known as "servants". These servants are divided into 7 different classes but among those 7, the "saber" class is known to be the best among them all. The story begins with the 5th repetition of this sacred war.
-In the Tohsaka mansion—
Inside a dark room stands a beautiful, dark-haired girl dressed in a red shirt with a black skirt and long black socks, her hair tied up in a twin-tailed fashion, her name? Tohsaka Rin. She is one of the 7 masters for the Holy Grail War and is currently preparing for her summoning ritual. As one of the chosen magi and the daughter of the Tohsaka's, a distinguished family of mages who specialize in Jewel mage craft, she aims to obtain the Holy Grail, not to grant a specific wish but to uphold her family name. And in order for her to do that she needed the strongest servant.
With a book in hand and surrounded by an assortment of scribbles on the floor which appear to have formed into a circle; The girl began to chant her ritual.
"I command thee, Thou shalt come forth to my side."
"Thy sword shalt control my fate."
"Abiding by the Holy Grail's haven."
"If thou shalt accede to this will and reason, then answer me."
"The oath set forth here."
"I am the embodiment of good in the eternal world."
"I am the disposer of evil in the eternal world."
"Thee, the seven heavens that bear the great trinity."
"Come forth from the circle of constraint, Oh, guardian of balance."
With this, I will definitely summon the saber class!,
thought the twin-tailed master as she finished reciting the words for her ritual.
Immediately after she finished, a crash was heard from another part of the mansion which caused her to run in shock to the direction of the loud noise.
"That was?! C-Could it be?!"
Running with unimaginable speed, She sprinted to the direction of the mansion's living room and hurriedly opened the door with a huge "WHAM!".
Inside the room, was a man clad in armor with a green design and styled with a fairly large cape as well as teeth resembling that of a shark's. He was scratching his head in annoyance, seemingly confused of the current situation while Rin quietly observed the man and quickly noticed a dark black sword with a red and yellow design attached to the side of the man in armor.
I did it didn't I?
A sparkle appears in Rin's eyes as she examines the man before her.
She clenches her fist into a pose and chants words of victory in her mind.
Yes!yes!yes!
Although I have not seen his power yet, He appears strong doesn't he?
With him I will definitely win the war and obtain the Grail.
She rejoices while thinking of her success but with all the thoughts running through her mind, she had failed to notice that the man in armor had been staring at her for a while.
He was void of expression as he stares at her like he was examining her body. She doesn't mind it and decides to find out more about her servant by asking.
"...So, If you don't mind, would you tell me your true identity?"
She asks him while looking all innocent; perhaps trying to make a good first impression as the master.
"..." He, however, doesn't reply.
Rin waves a hand in front of his face and tries asking him a different question.
"Hmm? You are my servant are you not? And by the looks of it, you are of the saber class am I right?"
"..." He keeps his blank face on appearing as if his thoughts were far away some place else.
Rin started to get worried thinking something might be wrong. The man might have left behind his brain somewhere in between the summoning.
"H-Hey, say something! Did I mess up the summoning spell after all?"
The man snaps out of his trance and opens his mouth.
"Hey you...you're pretty cute aren't you? "
He raises his hand and rubs his chin as if to say "not bad!" while having a lecherous grin.
"..!? W-What are you talking about?! "
The sudden compliment from the man caught her off guard. She didn't expect those words to be the first thing she hears from her servant.
It made her face blush bright red after hearing it.
"Hehehe, you're pretty good. You should definitely become my woman."
A ridiculous proposal. Her mind went blank for a moment there and the blush she had on turned into a slightly pale face in the blink of an eye.
"HUUUUH?!"
Her reaction was as instantaneous as her expression change. Did she make a misunderstanding here?
Perhaps she mistook a weirdo pervert who broke into her house as her servant?
Unlikely, but maybe that would have been better.
The Man smirks and follows her with his eyes that ogle at her young body. She felt disgusted for a moment as she slowly steps back getting ready to defend herself.
"Wh-Wh-Wh-What?! D-Do you even understand the situation right now? I-I'm your master and y-you're my servant! You s-should be helping me fight to obtain the grail, n-not asking me out!"
Her words were stuttering all over. She had her finger pointed at him while screaming those words but her hands were trembling as her mind was put in a state of panic.
The man scratches his cheeks, confused.
"Asking you out? Who ever said anything about that? Obviously I'm after your body."
The man says so confidently. It's amazing how he can say those things with such a straight face. There was no doubt in her mind that this guy is weird.
Hearing his response, her eyes nearly bulge open as she only manages to utter an incomplete word.
"WHA-!?"
Rin's jaw drops faster than she could imagine. She was frozen solid in shock not knowing how to even react to such a thing as her mind went completely blank. A pervert. This man is definitely a pervert. There is no way that a magi of her level would summon a fiendish weirdo of a man as a servant. She couldn't even react to the man's words as it was the last thing she expected when she first saw saw him.
"So with that said, have sex with me."
As if it were normal for him, he asks the most ridiculous thing to the girl who has never even gone out with anyone before.
He slowly creeps closer to her while licking his lips, as if he were about to eat his meal.
After seeing his expression, Rin jolts her brain and recovers from her blank state prepared to run and call the cops on this freak. She wasn't afraid to blast him away if that was necessary.
"Don't 'so with that' me! I'm your master! I'm your master right!? I order you to stop this instant!"
The man starts getting closer and closer to her. With his leering eyes and a creepy smile, he would bring any innocent young girl to tears.
Rin's backs off slowly while the words "save me" pop in her thoughts.
The man answers her, still without any intentions of stopping.
"Does it matter? This war doesn't have anything to do with me anyway as long as there are cute girls out there."
Rin was frustrated at the sudden turn of events. How did it even get to this point?
Seriously, what is wrong with him? Is he really supposed to be my servant? Though I anticipated that my servant might not agree to help me initially, this is beyond what I have expected. As long as I can help it, I really wouldn't want to waste a command spell here but I can't possibly submit to this guy dema-
"Eh?"
Since Rin wasn't paying attention due to other thoughts filling her mind, Rin had once again ignored the unknown servant's actions and did not notice that he was happily groping her breasts.
"As I thought, yours really are good."
Said the sword-wielding man in armor.
She tried to push him away, but the man was physically superior to her so she could only scream in defiance to his immoral actions.
"Wha-Wha-What the heck are you doing!? Let go of me! H-Hey! I said let go!
Hya~!
Stop it! I said stop!"
Rin was repeatedly hitting the back of the man's head but to no avail. She tries to grab some gems in her pocket but the man was too fast and already restrained both of her hands easily.
With fingers trembling in excitement, his hands moved all over her clothing, starting from the bottom going all the way to her criminally sexy legs.
"GAHAHAHA! You don't have worry as you will learn of the greatness of my Hyper Weapon!"
As the perverted servant finished speaking, he slowly dug his face between Rin's soft, white thighs and began stripping off her long black socks with a face full of excitement.
"Kyaaa! No! Please stop! Get off me! NOOOOOO!"
Rin was in a state of panic and was almost in tears knowing that her first time was about to be with an unknown pervert who she had just met and she didn't want that. She didn't know what to do. She hoped for something, anything that could help her get out of her current situation. While she was struggling to break free to think of a way out, the markings on her arm; her "command spells", which show proof of her being a master worthy of participating in the Holy Grail War and also weapons that can be used to apply absolute obedience and authority over the servant, had begun glowing.
"I beg of you please stop! You can't rape-! Hyaa~! Noooo...!"
As Rin was almost about to give up resistance, the man suddenly comes to a complete stop and stood there with a shocked expression.
"Wha-...What the hell did you just do to me?!"
"I should be the one asking you that question you idiot!"
Rin retorted with immediate speed. Realizing what just happened, her faced suddenly turned pale when she saw that the glow in her arm had stopped and one of the 3 marks had disappeared signalling the use of one of the 3 command spells that she had.
No! It can't be! How?
I didn't even issue the use of a command spell!
Could I have activated it subconsciously?
If so, then what was the command?
I can't remember. Just what did I blurt out at that time?
She recalls her words from a while ago.
("I beg of you please stop!You can't rape-!Hyaa~! Noooo...")
"D...D...DON'T FUCK WITH MEEEEE!
How could I have used a command spell for something like that!?
And at such an early stage, I had just finished summoning my servant dammiiiiit!"
She was in utter shock. As a master, you can only have 3 command spells that can be used for the entire duration of the war and yet she had already used up one of them.
She was cursing the heavens for her misfortune. Why did this happen to her?
To start with only 2 command spells...this is a total disaster. My plans...they're totally ruined.
"Hey you! Stop ignoring me!"
The man behind her suddenly started shouting at her but Rin was in a foul mood and this just irritated her more.
"HAH!? WHAT WAS THAT!?"
Rin was furious at the rude servant in front of her as she gave him a frightening glare. The servant didn't flinch and glared right back.
"What's wrong with me? M-My Hyper Weapon isn't reacting at all! And when I try to think of pushing you down my brain just goes blank on me!"
In response to the servant's ranting, Rin just looked the other way with an angry expression and went "Tch!"
"Well, whatever it is that happened to you, it just means you can't do it with any woman anymore. Serves you right you perverted servant."
His jaw dropped in shock, like a man who just found out that he went Bankrupt.
"HEY! W-WAIT A MINUTE! What exactly do you mean by 'it'?"
The man's face was in fear of what might come next as she speaks.
she spoke with words full of disdain. "Isn't it obvious? Sex of course."
"!"
That was it. The servant fell on his knees with his head lowered and wearing a face of utter despair. He fell silent after having heard Rin's words.
Actually it just means that he can no longer force them by rape but that should make this bastard feel even worse so whatever.
Rin crossed her arms in annoyance. It seems she doesn't even care any more. This man could die for all she cares.
She looks over to his side with a face full of disgust.
I-Is he crying? Stop acting like it's the end of the world for you geez!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
A stream of tears suddenly fell from the man's eyes as he screams.
"H-Huh?"
The sudden cries of sorrow from the man took her by surprise.
...He was bawling.
"WAAAAAAHH! I-I can't go on anymore! I-I-I'm going to kill myseeeeeeelf~!"
Without hesitation, the servant unsheathed his blade and pointed it towards his throat with intent of take his own life.
"EH!? H-Hey stop right there! You can't kill yourself I still need you to fight for me. Don't go dying on me now!"
All of a sudden, she regretted having those thoughts. Even though she said all those, she didn't actually mean them. After all what would that make her if she forfeits the war before it even begins?
"Woah! She's right there partner don't be too hasty now!"
Another voice that's not the Servant's came out from the thing he was holding.
"Wah! The sword spoke!
Wait that's not the point! Just don't kill yourself GODDAMMIT!"
She was surprised for a while but was too focused on the man to even care about it. She was trying to pull the sword away from him to stop him from killing himself.
"UWAAAAAAAHN~! Don't try to stop meeeeeee! *sob*"
The situation took a huge reversal now with the servant in tears having already given up everything.
"Dammit you're so annoying! You can get as much girls as you want when you win this war anyways right?!"
She was pulling back hard. She doesn't know what words to use when you're convincing someone to not kill themselves, though at that time, the servant's movements came to a halt as he looks to Rin.
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
After he heard what she said, a huge question mark appears above his head. His face was asking multiple question using only a single gaze at her. Even Rin was surprised at his reaction.
"Just now...what did you just say?"
Rin wasn't sure what he meant by his question. Was he talking about the wish granted from the Grail she just mentioned?
That must be it.
"Huh? I meant that you can use your wish to get as much girls as you want anyways if that's what you really want."
"Wish? What wish?"
"The one from the Holy Grail!"
"What Grail?"
"The one that we're fighting to obtain! That's the whole point of this war!
Geez! Weren't you supposed to be informed about all that already?"
A mutual silence. The man stops and and recalls a few things before talking.
"R-Really? All I knew was that there was some kind of war and then I stopped caring"
"Well I knew about it..."
As soon as he said that, the sword is his hand replied, as if to show that he wasn't as ignorant as his owner.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID SWORD!" The man growls at his weapon and smacks it once on the ground as if to punish it.
Rather, does it even feel pain?
He clears his throat before facing Rin.
"Ehem! Well anyways, the point is that I can use that to get all the women I want right?"
The confused magus tilted her head to the side, as a sweatdrop slid down her forehead.
"I-I Guess. Isn't that what I keep telling you?"
The servant wore a huge perverted smile on his face as if he were imagining a dirty scene. Rather, He looks too happy right now. Perhaps he was imagining the Garden of Eden?
"Well well, you've gone and done it now little missy"
The eyes on the sword looks at her as if she just did something wrong.
"Eh? What was that?"
but it fell on deaf ears as she didn't catch on what it was he just said.
The man raises his weapon to make a cool pose and show off himself whilst looking amused.
"GAHAHAHA! In that case I, The great Rance-sama will fight the bad guys for you and win this war!
You hear me? This hero will take care of you so you don't have to worry anymore GAHAHAHA!"
The man laughs loudly and gives her a thumbs up to assure her. Well at least he is confident.
"W-Well...It's all good then I guess." spoke Rin with a face that was unsure of the current situation at hand.
"GAHAHAHA! Wait for me sea of women!"
The servant who called himself Rance-sama had begun marching happily to god knows where, still wearing his shark-teethed, perverted smile and laughing all to himself.
I felt confident after seeing him at first but...am I really going to be okay with this kind of servant?
Author's Note: Well there you have it guys. There was always a HUGE lack of fan fictions for such an awesome series that is Rance so I thought I would write my own and perhaps give the series more exposure. I was planning to wait till the translation for the other games would finish and become more popular before I posted this but since it seemed like it was going to take a while with the translators for Quest suddenly disappearing and all, I just got impatient and posted it sooner.
I'll probably be updating this once every week or two depending on my free time, though I might update faster if this actually gets popular for some reason.
Anyways, Enjoy my first fic.
