Chapter 2 - Dangerous Game

"That's great..." 

While he was relieved that this young woman didn't sue him as he hugged her, all of a sudden, he also felt relief by the ability of the last servant that he gained. 

Shirou Amakasuka Kotomine. 

That was the name of the last servant that he drew from his gacha ability, yet at the same time, this also made him a bit helpless. 

Among the abilities of the three servants that he had gained, he had no method to fight at all! 

No, while he gained abilities, skills, and potential, he didn't acquire the knowledge, mastery, experiences, or even the courage to fight the dangerous people.

'Dammit, I am just a salaryman before!' 

Yet, if he cowered, what would be his fate and this young woman's fate, then?

Still, somehow, with a certain ability of Shirou Kotomine's, when he saw the young woman's face that was hugged on his arms, he felt that he had an idea what kind of work he was reincarnated to. 

'Hmmm...' 

If this world were really the one he had thought it to be, wouldn't it be a dangerous place?

"Oh, you can escape? How lucky of you, but unfortunately, you can't escape from this ship! I will turn the woman into a slave, and I will kill you here!" 

The fact that his target was able to dodge his magic didn't seem to bother him. Instead, Bora still had confidence, and he didn't think that the young woman that he had tricked, and this young man, who suddenly crashed into his ship, could do anything against him and his men! 

Moreover, with his powerful magic, how could one thing defeat him? 

"Well, if that woman still has her stellar key, then it might be different, but now, as you two can only run away like cowards, when I catch you two, I will punish you well, okay~!" 

Still, the men around Bora stared at Masa for a moment, then whispered. "Boss, the young man's face is quite good. Can I have a taste before you kill him?" 

"I am bored with a woman, so..." 

"Boss..." 

"...." Bora. 

"....." The young woman. 

It was impossible for him not to hear their whispers, and this made him shudder, feeling creepy and disgusted. At the same time, he knew that he shouldn't have any mercy, so while it might be dangerous, if he didn't want his dignity to be taken, he had to use that ability!

"Can you stand, girl?" 

"Ah, um." 

The girl hurriedly nodded, then asked, "What are you going to do? Do you have a way to defeat them?" 

"To be honest, I am not sure, but I have an idea."

"What is it?" 

Shirou Kotomine gave him two unique abilities: one was a precognition, which made him able to dodge Bora's magic previously, and the second one was a reinforcement, which made him able to strengthen his physical ability to a certain extent with his magic. 

Yet, even so, even with those two abilities, he couldn't have confidence that he could defeat Bora, the powerful fire magician, and also tens of his men, who were staring at them dangerously. 

So, he knew that even if it was dangerous, he had to use the special ability of that one servant that he gained. 

"Hide over there. I am afraid that I might hurt you if you are close to me." 

He wasn't sure why he had this dangerous thought, but somehow, he felt that this was the best way for him to stay alive. 

"....." 

The young woman looked at him for a moment and watched his resolute eyes before she hesitated as she bit her lower lip. "Be careful." She knew that if she stayed, she would only be a burden, but even so, she would help him if he was in critical condition.

'If only I had my keys!' 

Her reaction made him think that this young woman was really kind and this also strengthened his thought at what kind of a world that he was reincarnated into, and this also made him know that if he had a trouble facing Bora and his goons, then he would be as good as dead in this world, yet, even so, as this was his first battle, he knew he had to go all out. 

After a moment of hesitation, he muttered, "Dangerous Game." As he said so, a drug bottle with a rose motif emerged from his palm. 

Yes, not only the abilities, skills, and potential, but he also gained the treasured tool, or the crystallization of mystery, which was created and owned by the servants from their embodiment and their very existence when they lived, known as the Noble Phantasm. 

The unique and powerful trump card that was owned by every servant, he had gained the three of them, but he knew well that among the three servants, only one of them could help him to solve the situation before him. 

No, between the three, while one of them might not be of much help in battle due to his lack of experience, the other could help him escape; yet, this ability wouldn't improve his mental state, which had remained unchanged from his previous life as a normal man who lived day by day working from eight in the morning to midnight then repeated till he died.

If he wanted to live well in this world, he knew that he had to be bold and drink the Dangerous Game! 

So, without hesitation, when the young woman had left, he drank the Noble Phantasm drug that was the manifestation of the legend of Henry Jekyll and Hyde. 

"Hahaha... what can a drink help you with? Quickly catch him! I want to see him beaten!" 

Under the orders of Bora, the men, who wanted to enjoy the young man, sighed, but they knew that it was better to follow his order first. 

"Well, it won't hurt to break some of his bones." 

"Don't worry, Boy. We will make it painful." 

"Are you not running away? Are you getting scared now? How cute~!" 

Yet, as those evil men got close and wanted to harm him, the young woman was in panic, wishing to do something to help him, but—

Crack! 

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!

One of the guys that wanted to reach him was pummelled so badly his jaw was broken, and he crashed into the wall behind Bora and passed out directly. 

"...." 

Not only Bora, but everyone in this place was stunned in a daze as they watched this scene. 

Yet, he, who had drunk the Dangerous Game, couldn't restrain himself. 

"YOU SHITTY PIECE OF TRASH! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!" 

All the suppressed emotions were released, and all the stresses that he felt exploded; then, he rampaged!

BAAAAM! BAAAAM! BAAAAM!

"N-NOOO!" 

"Don't beat me!" 

"Forgive me!" 

Yet, he didn't give any mercy and kept beating them till they were half-dead. "Weren't you arrogant before?! Why did you act like a bitch now! Shit! I wanted to gouge those disgusting eyes of yours!" 

Dangerous Game is the elixir (miracle drug) that allows for the transformation of Jekyll into Hyde, the second personality inside the former's body that claimed so many victims in his life according to the legend. 

As he drank the elixir, the suppressed emotions he had kept within him could no longer be restrained, and he became as aggressive and ferocious as a wild beast, especially when he felt his body growing stronger and stronger, which made him even more uncontrollable! 

With such power and the explosion of emotions he felt, he just wanted to destroy everything! 

He went on a rampage and did whatever he wished!

'Ah, so good!' 

He thought as he kept beating everyone who wanted to harm him before, and he had his share of fun when he saw them trembling in fear, begging, and appearing pathetic as they regretted their actions. 

Yet, there was no drug for regret; one had to pay for their every action! 

Only—

"Red Shower!" 

Several fierce, purple flames in the form of elongated circles were fired at him, bombarding him mercilessly! 

"Arggh, Bora-sama!" 

"It burns!" 

"NOOOOOO!!!" 

As Bora's magic attacked the wide area, all of his goons were also affected, but Bora didn't care since he could get more goons as he wished. "Hmph! As expected of a wild beast, no matter how strong you are, you aren't a match for me, Bora the Prominence!" 

Still, not many of the goons were okay as the majority of them were beaten by the young man, yet even so, the remains sighed in relief and happiness at the death of the young man. 

However, when they sighed in relief that the young man was defeated, as the smoke from the explosion disappeared, they saw a figure that gave them a shudder! 

In black fur, with long canines and sharp claws, a monstrous body, and eyes that were becoming blood red. 

What they saw was no longer a young man, but the legendary monster that they had heard about in the fairy tale. 

"W-Werewolf?!" 

No one expected the young man to be able to be transformed into a werewolf! 

"Y-You monster!" 

The bloodlust, ferocity, and aura that emanated from the young man evoked a deep-seated fear in Bora.

Yet, even so, Bora still had confidence in his magic! 

"Prominence Typhoon!" 

As the magic circle formed in front of him, Bora stretched his arms wide to the sides.

Then, a spiraling column of fire was released and sent flying towards the enemy, engulfing the young man whole and burning him alive.

"Run!" 

The young woman was in a panic, but the young man didn't run and just let the fire magic hit his body. 

"Hmmm...." 

Unexpectedly, it wasn't as painful as he thought it would be. Yes, while it was still hot, and his body was slightly burnt, he could see that his body was healing at a speed that was visible to the eyes. 

"Y-YOU MONSTER!" 

Yet, Bora lost his calm as he saw the young man was all fine. "You might be strong, but even so, I am not weak! Let me give you a taste of my strongest magic! 

"Hell Prominence!" 

Bora could no longer maintain his calm, and what he felt was only fear, ignoring the consequences that everything within this ship would be destroyed when he used this magic. Yet, if he wanted to stay alive, he had to do this, or else he would be killed! 

Then, as his magic was created, a large, long, and powerfully destructive laser-like beam was shot at the young man! 

The blinding light blinded everyone, and the despair was about to sink into their being. The young man smashed the laser beam with his fist to the side, which made it explode in the sea. 

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

"Eh..." 

Bora's snot came out as he was crying, watching how easily the young man handled his strongest attack. 

"I-I beg you. D-Don't kill me... I-I have a lot of money, beautiful women, and everything! T- That's right! If you follow me, I will give you everything! If we're together, we will be invincible! So—

"Guweh!" 

Bora was beaten! 

"Who wants to work with a scum like you! Die! Die! Die!" 

He was so mad at Bora that he kicked his balls multiple times! 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" 

As Bora's screams echoed within the sea, all the goons huddled together as they looked at the young man in fear as they protected their crotch in fear, but the young man turned and stared at them with a cruel smile. 

"Hiiiiii!!!!" 

Thus, many eunuchs were born at that time. 

Yet, after he beat all of them, he couldn't suppress his ferality as if he still wanted to beat everything, and frankly, he was also a bit scared of himself, especially after what he had done, but—

"Are you okay?" 

The young woman, who had been hiding, came and took his arm. 

He thought that she would be scared, but he could see genuine concern in her eyes. "...wait for a moment." His voice was rough, heavy, completely that of a beast, yet she didn't let him go. 

"Dangerous Game." 

Once again, the familiar drug bottle emerged in his palm, and he drank it without hesitation, but unlike before, this drug undid his transformation and calmed him. 

"I am fine now." 

As he said so, he looked at the young woman once again, but he saw that she was looking at something and clearly out of focus. 

"What are you looking at—" 

Following her gaze, he lowered his head and saw a large, elongated object, which was the thing that had drawn her attention. 

"..." 2x

"...is there clothes?"

"Let me help you find clothes!"

Yes, he was able to win, but his chastity was the cost.

Just enjoy!
