[64] Fate Serialization Begins

A new day—

Unlike usual, at this time of day, Kazuya would usually be busy drawing manga.

But not now—

(MENACING)

He was eating!

Eating voraciously...

He had consumed several times the usual amount of fresh food detected by the Ripple and was still eating—

The table was already littered with food debris.

"Hu—" Kazuya let out a heavy sigh, then suddenly stood up!

"Ripple Dash!"

Crack—

In an instant!

Unlike before, when he used the Ripple to transmit to the room, there would only be a faint glow. But now—

The entire room lit up! It turned into a golden room—

"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. With this much Ripple, my life energy has increased on a massive scale. Finally, success with this technique!"

He had woken up immediately in the dream world after confirming that he had learned this technique.

After making breakfast for his sister and sending her to school, he left and used the Ripple to determine which foods were fresh. Then he bought a large quantity, eating until he felt he couldn't eat anymore.

That was just half of it.

As for the rest... it couldn't be used anymore because if left for a day, it wouldn't be considered fresh, and life energy would be greatly lost.

According to his settings, this technique "Gluttonous Beelzebub" was most effective in the first three uses, greatly increasing life energy. After that, it would slowly decrease, still increasing life energy but with much less effect.

The reason for the decreasing effect was that in these three days, life energy would reach a person's limit. After that, it wasn't about increasing life energy but breaking through the limit!

He didn't want to impose so many restrictions, but the ones without restrictions had all failed.

It had been five days since the room was redecorated.

Fate/Zero had already gone through two weeks of serialization meetings, and the next issue would feature this manga in JUMP.

He kept adding restrictions little by little to this technique, changing the manga's settings, and even considered at one point that "an original manga wouldn't grant me powers beyond common sense." Then, finally—today, he succeeded!

"Awesome! This feeling... if I keep going like this, my life energy will one day reach the level of Kars, the ultimate life form from JoJo Part Two."

Normally, this wouldn't happen, at most reaching the level of Dio's Ripple when he fought with Jonathan in his body. Because that was already the human limit, reaching the limit of life energy one could bear. However, this "Gluttonous Beelzebub" could increase this limit! Continuously breaking through the human body's limits.

In other words—

As long as he had enough time to increase his life energy, one day he would achieve the sun-like Ripple that could instantly melt a person, just like the ultimate life form Kars!

"Yeah, my Ripple is probably at the level of Jonathan's now..."

Based on the people he had seen, he divided Ripple into several levels.

First was his previous self; he defined the Ripple he had back then as level one. Then, Jonathan, who had just started practicing the Ripple, was level two. Baron Zeppeli's Ripple was level four, and Jonathan's Ripple after receiving life energy from Baron Zeppeli was level five (there was some loss during the transmission process, plus Baron Zeppeli had only half of his body). Finally, there was the Ripple at the level of reaching the human body's limit, which was level ten.

By this calculation, his Ripple now should be level three.

Approaching Baron Zeppeli's level.

Of course, each level of Ripple had a significant improvement. He had never seen Dio's Ripple, but it was probably around level one hundred. He would have to see it with his own eyes to know for sure.

But for now, it was enough!

"Now, it's time to fulfill the promise..."

When he went to the Tohsaka family earlier, he had promised to send them his manga once it was finished... but it would probably be a bit slower than JUMP.

JUMP was going to be released tomorrow, and if he mailed it now, it would take two days to arrive.

Well... that's perfect. During this time, he would increase his Ripple, and he wondered if Tohsaka Tokiomi would come over...

...

The next day—

A guy named Rito Ishizaki immediately bought the new issue of JUMP!

"This cover?" Looking at the cover of the new issue of JUMP, Rito Ishizaki felt a shock—

Unlike the usual muscular men, the picture featured dozens of characters together.

Some were wearing armor, while others were wearing suits.

At the top was a golden cup.

As usual, there were Japanese characters written on the side, [Fate/Zero New Serialization! By Kurokawa-sensei, the Latest Work!]

And below were a series of smaller characters, [Seven magus vying for the all-powerful wish-granting machine in Fuyuki, a cruel war is about to begin.]

"Fuyuki? I remember my aunt lives in Fuyuki... and what about Kurokawa-sensei's new manga... did he abandon JoJo?"

Rito Ishizaki was very anxious as he wished he could open the JUMP in his hands to see what was going on. However, he decided to wait until he got home.

Soon after, when he arrived home, he immediately opened JUMP and flipped to the JoJo section.

Now he was a dedicated JoJo fan.

Last chapter—

A new creature called "Pillar Man" appeared! It was this kind of creature that created the Stone Mask, which could turn humans into vampires, but for them, vampires were just food!

It could be said that they were beings above vampires.

According to DIO, "Cows eat grass, humans eat cows, and I eat humans. Those who feed on humans are the true masters of all living things!" And now, there was a creature that fed on vampires!

It was truly a presence standing at the pinnacle of living beings!

In the previous chapter, JoJo used his Ripple to turn his hair into something like steel needles, forming a shield in front of him to block bullets. So, what would happen in this chapter?

What about this creature called the Pillar Man?

Compared to the new manga he hadn't read, he was more concerned about this, so—he immediately flipped to the page with JoJo!
