Chapter 2

A/N: I tried finding loop holes, this was the best I could think of. If you can think of a better one comment and I'll see if I can try change it.

[Ars Nova]

A brilliant gold explosion appeared at the centre of Solomon. Solomon and all that he would be would soon disappear. Just as Solomon was about to disappear he gave one final look and ordered Ritsuka to claim absolute victory.

Solomon closed his eyes as he focused on the one thing that gave him a possibility of surviving. His real body had been left by Goetia after he had abandoned it. Through a little manipulation he had managed to store away his data from when he was classified as a grand class caster.

In a way he was still a coward, except he would be dead. Truly dead for a while. At least until Goetia's existence is defeated and the colony returns back to the 72 demons or Ars Goetia as they are no longer a colony. His deeds and everything would be erased. He would be removed from the throne of heroes. But like everything else, there is a solution if you look hard enough.

Solomon was being erased and as he had forsaken his wish upon the grail. He had already created a back up data of himself and his grand caster vessel. He only needed to borrow a grail more specifically the left over grail that was not used and the one given by King Gilgamesh to send a copy of a data body into a different world tree. More specifically the data that makes him a grand class servant stored in a copy of his body and sent to a different world tree of this universe. This was his back up plan. He had no idea if his theory would even work. As he theorised that the second true magic, Operation of Parallel Worlds involved the authority of visiting different trees and branches of the world trees. Therefore if his existence was finalised here all he had to do was move to a completely different world tree.

The difficulty was the risk of Ritsuka losing but he put his faith in the boy who he had watched mature over the year. The condition of memory transfer would be dealt with by the grail leaving him no room for error unless Ritsuka fails.

He foresaw the situation that would require him to use [Ars Nova] before. He would eventually find a way to come back. He couldn't leave his caretaker duties to everyone else could he? He was the dork and doctor of Chaldea, no one was to replace him as the dorky father figure.

So before he headed towards the temple he used the grail to create a copy of his grand caster data and a flesh body to prevent the degradation of his data before sending it towards another world tree with a time delay of memory transfer on the condition that he is dead and Goetia is reduced back to 72 demons of Ars Goetia instead of a colony.

Solomon sighed as his body slowly faded. He would experience true death. Even if it was temporary but he had long come to peace with that. Even if erasure was not the correct word, it was more like finalised. He simply lost the ability to interfere with the world onwards.

It didn't matter to him anyways as he would soon meet the eternal rest for a temporary time.

Solomon soon opened his eyes to see the clear starry sky. It was beautiful, it was at times like these that he truly knew that no matter how bad something has gone or if the situation had become worse, there are always beautiful things in the world. He got up as he surveyed his surroundings, a bridge to his right with running water forming a path. His face gleamed over the water as the reflection of light from the stars showed his face. A small smile broke out as he realised that his existence was still fundamentally different from Solomon, back when he was nothing but a machine, a puppet of God.

He was still Romani Archaman inside and well he IS Solomon so no escaping that. His form shimmered a bit before he reverted back to his old dorky form that everyone knew and loved. He sighed as planned on how to proceed. A simple detection spell told him that there were indeed mages in this city.

To his surprise lo and behold! This was Fuyuki City which was also the place he was summoned for a Holy Grail War. His composed figure soon broke as he scratched his head with a pessimistic look on how he was going to get an identity.

3 Months Later:

Ayako came into the nurse office with a sigh as the door opened to reveal a peach orange fluffy haired man with emerald eyes. Said man was watching internet idols while eating a plate of strawberry cake. Yep the great King Solomon now finished with getting rid of Goetia was now back to the old cheerful and slacking Doctor Romani Archaman.

Ayako shook her head "Doctor Roman, you can't just be slacking off here." He ruffled his hair before coming up with an excuse "Well my job is a doctor/nurse therefore I'll do my job when I get a patient otherwise I'll slack of when I want thank you."

Romani's eyes shifted to the bleeding cut in Ayako's arm before sighing "What happened?" His face full of concern. Ayako's face grew in madness with a look that threatened to kill. "Seaweed hair happened." Romani got up as he grabbed the bandages and alcohol along with lollipop. He offered the lollipop as Ayako immediately tore it apart before calming down.

"Thanks Doc."

Romani smiled as he got to dipping the swab in alcohol for disinfecting. "This will sting so please don't pinch me like last time" Romani's face paled before scratching the back of his head as he dabbed the alcohol all over and around the cut. Soon came the bandages as he rolled them tightly around her arm to make sure pressure was applied.

"Alright leave that for the whole day and apply this during the night. It helps with recovery, If you have any issues find me tomorrow."

Ayako nodded before walking out and closing the door as she thanked him "Thanks Doc." Romani waved her goodbye as he did his daily checks on himself. While he had reverted back to his original Solomon, Grand Caster form, this Romani form was needed to suppress any leaks of magical energy along with anything noticeable about him.

He preferred not to dabble in that area if he could. He closed his eyes and tilted his head above to face the ceiling.

He took a deep breath to make sure everything about the Solomon him was suppressed. He nodded before opening his eyes only to see a blue screen in front of him.

"HUH?" Romani's chicken side screamed in his soul as he fell off his chair before scrambling to see that the screen was following him. "What? Stop chasing me! I don't taste good! I don't even think you can eat me!" Romani circled around the infirmary before seeing that the blue screen had changed its text.

[You have been invited as the Admin to the chat group]

[Will you accept?]

[Yes] [No]

"HUH? Isn't this the type of stuff that goes on in those novels or some cultivation Chinese Wuxia novels?"

Romani quickly opened his laptop before typing in a question for Magi Mari.

-Magi Mari, a blue screen has appeared in front of my face and is asking if I will become the Admin of a chat group like those novels. Do I accept?

-Oh of course you do. Adventure awaits for you!

While it may be petty but Romani had to be sure this wasn't Merlin screwing around with him and may or may not have used his clairvoyance to be sure. But this was the real Magi Mari, though while it was indeed Merlin it seems this Merlin was Magi Mari!

"Magi Mari!"

"A different Magi Mari Merlin!"

Romani with the answer from Magi Mari (Proto-Merlin) poked [Yes]
