A/n: Alrighty guys. I've recently gotten into FGO and have found myself enjoying the game immensely. The rates are kinda a problem if you ask me but in saying that I've come from DBZ Dokkan Battle which is a Guaranteed SSR in every multi. So the shaft is kinda refreshing. Anyway enough of that, so in this Naruto will be summoned as a Saber servant and while some of you are gonna complain saying that it's impossible for Naruto to be summoned as a Saber. I'll just say this. This Naruto is completely different. So my long time readers and even my newer ones would know that I am a huge fan of the Soulsborne series. I've played every Dark Souls game to completion, acquiring the Platinum Trophy of Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne while I'm currently working towards it on Dark Souls 3 and eventually Dark Souls remastered. So after going through some lore on Farron's Undead Legion for my Promise Of The Abyssal One Story, I remembered that the Undead Legion actually follow the way of my favorite boss, Knight Artorias. So...I've done a Naruto is a Abyss Watcher story, now this will be Naruto The Abyss Walker. So I've talked with NeonZangetsu on this as well and got some words of wisdom from him, something I really appreciate from one of my favorite writers on this site. As such I will be taking his words into account. So just remember that for this story. Naruto was born in the Dark Souls World, which will be placed sometime after Gilgamesh's time but before the time of King Arthur due to the style of buildings within Lordran. Now, let's get into this.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own copies of the Soulsborne series and my FGO account.
Side note: This takes place a month or so before the game starts. As such, Fujimura will not appear in this chapter. Also I wish to give a shout out to Spacecore94, or Asura Spartan on my discord. He's been a good friend and have been helping me with multiple stories. He was in fact the co-creator of this story. Helping me work out the story line, the pairings, and even the skills Naruto would have if he was summoned as a Servant in FGO as this version. So once again big thanks to him and a big thanks to NeonZangetsu for his words of wisdom when it came to creating this story.
(Start)
Within the deep mountain base of Chaldea in a darkly lit room, sat a woman at a large wooden desk. Her long white hair was frazzled, her face displayed annoyance in a heavy scowl as she stared at a rainbow crystal on her desk. This woman was Olga Marie Animusphere, the daughter of Marisbury Animusphere. And Heir to the Animusphere magus family, one of the top ten in the clock tower. The reason for her distress was due to the crystal that sat upon her desk. Saint Quartz. A item described as a pseudo spiriton crystal. Those with the ability to be masters could use it to summon servants, Heroic Spirits, from the past. The problem though lays not in the material but the user. Olga herself has zero aptitude for being a master. So no matter how many attempts she has made, the results remain the same. Due to being a member of a high ranking family in the clock tower, this little bit of information caused a small problem for her.
A scandal was caused. A member of the Animusphere family, unable to be a master. This fact alone annoyed her to no end but to make matters worse, Olga had found out about some very bad things. It seemed as though her father had been doing some...less than satisfactory experimentation's on humans before his death. It seemed as though he was trying to fuse a servant with that of a human. This knowledge, along with the problems that her ineptitude caused, brought the poor girl to the edge of a nervous breakdown.
And that's were we find the poor girl now. Sitting in her office, her emotions raging as she stared at an object that may as well be mocking her just by existing. Grabbing the Saints Quartz, Olga stomped out of her office with purpose. Along the way, she had grabbed a poor bystander and staff member and dragged him with her. Eventually, Olga appeared in the room where those who had to ability to be masters would use their Quartz in order to summon servants.
"Director?" The staff member, an orange haired man by the name of Romani Archaman spoke, gaining the attention of his boss.
"What is it Archaman?" She asked, her irritation getting the better of him.
"What exactly are you doing now? The FATE system won't work for you. We've tried this before." He brought up as Olga glared at him.
"I need to try. I won't allow my pride as an Animusphere be sullied by something like this!" She almost shouted as she took a few calming breaths and faced the center of the room.
Romani, seeing the seriousness in the woman stood to his feet. Having originally been on the floor due to Olga dragging him. Backing away, Romani started to oversee the procedure, a sad smile on his face as he watched the Saint Quartz in the girls hand vanish. The two of them waited and waited. They stood there for ten minutes before Romani turned to Olga. Words left his mouth as he noticed tears falling from the girls eyes. Before anything could be said, Olga left the room. Her footsteps fading as she ran down the hall, her target...her own bed. Romani stood there, staring at the center of the room before he himself left. Feeling pity for the young woman as she failed once more.
Once both of them had left, the room itself darkened. The systems shutting themselves off as everyone turned in for the night. In her bedroom, Olga had cried herself to sleep. Upset with herself. If she had stayed awake, she would've noticed as a dull red glow formed on her hand.
(Within the Throne of Heroes)
Deep within the home of Heroes past. Within the darkest depths, a lone knight sat alone. His silver armor, dulled by a intense darkness. A blue scarf was wrapped around his neck and trailed down to the middle of his back. A silver helmet with a knight's plume and a blue shroud to cover his face. The knight's left arm hung limply at his side as he just sat alone. Isolated. Calling the darkness his home.
It was then that the knight felt something within him. A familiar pull from within, as if something was calling him.
"Dark Knight of the past. It seems as though you are needed in the realm of the living once more." A Loud voice boomed in the Knights ears.
"For me to be needed, truly a dark time has begun." The knight spoke, a regal tone to his voice. But one filled with sorry and regret.
"The one who calls you...she is cursed to suffer. Your summoning is that of something special." The voice said as the knight raised his head and stared into the nothingness.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"To step into human affairs...is not what I do. To step into human affairs is what I order those below me to do." The voice said as the darkness twisted itself around in front of the knight. The darkness eventually started resembling a spiral in mid air as the knight stared at it. His eyes hidden beneath his shroud. The knight stepped forward, a large black blade appeared on his back. Raising his hand up to the spiral, the knight watched as his hand disappeared, vanishing into blue particles before the rest of him followed.
When he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was within a new place. The summoning process drained him slightly, his legs wobbling before he righted himself. Stepping forward, the knight continued towards what he assumed was a door. His body, following the strange sensation he felt within the darkness. Walking through the halls of this new place, the knight felt...right. As though he had returned to the kingdom he once called home. Stopping outside a door labeled Olga. Looking down, he noticed that the door was open slightly. Pushing it open slightly, he walked into the room and saw Olga laying on her bed. Her covers had been forced to the end of her bed while she curled up into a ball. An orange blouse covered her body as her long white hair was left free. Some fresh tears still leaking from her eyes. It was then that the knight noticed something. On her hand was a strange red marking. Though that was not what caught his eyes. What caught the knights eyes were the pulsing dark blue veins like markings that broke off from the marking. (1)
As the knight stared at the girl, he felt his lips twitch upwards in a smile.
'My master. My Queen. I'll try my hardest for you.' The knight thought to himself as he gently pulled the blanket over her. Once that was done and she seemed comfortable, he walked over to the wall across from her. Laying his sword gently on the ground, he sat down with his back against the wall. His shroud covered face looked towards the girl before drifting down. The knight seemingly resting as he watched over the one he called master.
(In Olga's dreams)
After crying herself to sleep, Olga eventually found herself wandering through a golden castle. Knight's stood all around her, dressed in silver armor. She continued to walk around the castle until she came across something that caught her interest. Four uniquely dressed warriors stood together. One with a blue shroud covering his face. Another wearing the armor of a snarling lion. A giant man with a bow on his back and a small woman with a porcelain mask covering her face. The knight with a blue shroud nodded to the others before he walks towards her. Once he got within touching distance, Olga noticed the whole world shift. This time, she found herself standing in an old run down cottage. The sound of waves crashing against rocks brought her out of her thoughts as she looked around.
In her rush of observing the surroundings, she found the same knight from before kneeling in front of two graves. His hands reached for his helm before taking it off. His features were obscured to her, but she could hear his voice clear as day.
"Forgive me for not returning sooner Mother. Father. I hath't becometh a knight now. Serving the lord of sunlight. I've taken up a new name upon mine new place. Artorias. I would've returned on better terms. I've kept mine heart closed to others. Only seeing mine comrades as that. I hope that i could causes thee proud." The knight spoke to the graves as he stood to his feet. Grabbing his helmet, he placed it on before turning around. "This is the last time I'll be visiting. Farewell mother. Farewell Father. I hope to meet you on the other side." He said before Olga noticed a bright light overtake her.
(The next morning)
Olga awoke with a start, her body lunging forward as she found herself gripping her blanket sheets tightly. Looking down, her eyes widened in shock as she gazed upon her left hand. The red markings that appeared only meant one thing...she did it. She did the impossible. What was deemed impossible for someone like her...she accomplished. It was then she noticed the extra markings on her hand before she heard the sound of someone shifting. Turning her gaze to the left, she found the same knight in her dream sitting down.
"It seems your awake now." The knight, Artorias said as Olga could only stare in shock.
"Are you?" She asked as Artorias chuckled.
"Saber Class. Wolf Knight Artorias. It's nice to meet you my master." He said as he stood to his full height.
"Wolf Knight...Artorias?" She questioned as he nodded. "Artorias...isn't your name though." She stated as his eyes widened under his helm.
"How did you know that?" He asked as Olga looked down.
"Last night. I saw you in a dream. You were talking to the grave of your parents." She said as Artorias nodded slowly.
"One of my last moments before my death. It seems that you managed to see part of my past." Artorias said quietly as Olga stepped out of bed and stood in front of her new servant.
"So tell me Wolf Knight Artorias. What is your real name?" She demanded as she raised her left hand. Her newly acquired command seals shining ominously as Artorias chuckled.
"Artorias is the name I took up after joining the Lord Of Sunlight's army. Before that, I was given the name Naruto." Artorias, or Naruto said as he bowed his head.
"Naruto? A strange name for a knight." She said as her Saber shrugged. "Ignoring that, I am Olga Marie Animusphere. And from here on out. I am your master."
And thus...The master and Servant bond was created. A Knight who fell to darkness in his last moments. And a Master that shouldn't be. With the two of them together, will they come out on top or will the both of them be swallowed by the darkness that brought them together.
(END)
Alright then. SO as you can see. Naruto in this is based off of Artorias from Dark Souls 1. Yes Naruto doesn't have access to his left arm as the point of time that he is summoned is just after Artorias was defeated by the Abyss. Now some maybe be wondering, if you use that point, why not make him a Berserker. You'll find out why later on as the story progresses. And yes Olga will be his master in this. Why? Because I loved her character and wished that she wasn't killed off. I needed more time with her to enjoy her character. In saying that, Naruto's summon was a little strange. He wasn't summoned like any other servant. Think of it like this, Olga wasted the Saint Quartz in her attempt and this in point sent a message to all of the servants within the Throne. When Naruto got the feeling, he, or at least something connected to him. Forcefully created a loop hole that allow for Naruto to manifest and tether himself to Olga as her servant. Thus Naruto is Olga's servant, but not a Servant summoned normally. So this will have draw backs on both Naruto and her.
Now onto to little point.

Alright this is coming out in a big update. So keep your eyes open for my Kantai stories latest update, a new Date A Live Naruto Story that I've taken up as a challenge, my fire emblem Awakening story and a couple others. I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately but that's due to the season change and how the heat is affecting me now. As such I should eventually get a bit better and my updates should be more. But can't promise much as I have to deal with work and getting more hours lately. Thanks and I'll see you guys later.
