A/N: well here it is…a new story…and as the title suggests a gamer story…and also I've taken quite the liberation with Shirou's Lineage, and if I ever get around to rewriting the prologue of another story and updating it, you will know how OP the father is…although he will be introduced in this chapter...or the next...or maybe even the one after, who knows, I basically write whatever comes to mind

Leaving that aside...this Shirou will probably not be like cannon Shirou…I mean he will be distorted and all…but their goals will be much different, this Shirou's goal is to become stronger, Strong enough to protect everyone he cares about, and also to stand beside his father…well that's about all the information I'm giving away, and aside from the fact he will fight toe-to-toe with servants he will have all the powers cannon Shirou has, and some more powers he will get later on.

With that, let the games begin!

Oh this story starts some time after Shirou is adopted by Kiritsugu; I'm kind of bored by the sheer number of times I've written the fire scene, although you guys only probably saw two…

Disclaimer: I do not own Type-moon

-Prologue

[I'm a magus]

That one particular sentence had been stuck in my head for a while now; my father was a mage, a magus, a magician

I have been pestering my father Emiya Kiritsugu for a while now to teach me mage-craft, though I always got denied I never stopped asking hoping that one day my adopted father would say yes.

Yes, Kiritsugu was my adopted father, during the great fuyuki fire a few days I lost my memories, so there was no way to identify myself, all I could recall was my given name, Shirou.

This occurred one morning when I woke up.

{You have received the ability [The Gamer] as a gift from your father

Would you like to accept this gift?}

{Yes/No}

A blue box with these words written on it appeared in front of me out of this air

A gift from my father, does that mean my old man gave me this ability is this, the so-called mage-craft that he used

Without a second thought I pressed the yes button.

When my fingers touched the box, I felt as if I was touching something solid, after I pressed yes the box disappeared in a shower of blue light.

Immediately another box appeared

{Congratulations! You are now in possession of the ability known as [The Gamer],

Would you like to view the tutorial?}

{Yes/No}

Well…Since this ability was kind enough to offer me a tutorial, might as well accept it, and so without a further thought I pressed the yes button.

{Welcome to the tutorial for the ability known as [The Gamer]}

To start, please say or think [Status]}

"[Status]"

I said in a whisper

{Status Screen}

Name: Shirou 'Emiya' Evanight {as stated this is Your Full name, which contains both your previous and current family name}

The gamer {this is just for show}

Element: Fire and Sword

Origin: Fire and sword

[Due to having both origin and element same, you have gained a passive skill, check skill menu for more details]

{Ask your adoptive father what they are}

Race: Human [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN] {this is your race, meaning what kind of being you are}

Class: None {this is the classes that fall within your selected profession, for example if you were to become a samurai, the class would be samurai, new classes will be available as more skills are learned, and at a certain point a class which fuses all the classes obtained will be available, although some bonuses that specific classes give may not be available in the fused class, but may be achievable as separate passive skills, it is also possible to have more than one equipped class at once}

Title: Heir to the Evanight family (Increases your affinity to bladed weapons as well as the strength of your magic by 500%, it also gives you the skill to obtain new abilities by drinking the blood of others) [EFFECTS LOCKED UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN] [this title is permanent] {this is your current equipped title, this can be changed to attain more title's, but since this is permanent, new equipped titles will have a separate space}

[Empty] {Yeah, this is the separate space}

Level: 1 {this is your level, the numerical representation of your strength, although it is said to be a representation, it is possible for beings with lower levels to defeat beings with higher levels, given the level gap is not that wide, at your current level you can probably defeat beings two to three levels higher than you with a little effort, but it is extremely recommended you do not fight beings which are ten levels or so above you}

Exp: 0/55 {the number on your left represents your experience points, the one on the right shows the target for the number of experience points you need to gather in order to level up, when the target is reached your experience points will be reset to 0}

Hp: 70/70 {health points (or Hp for short) this is the numerical representation of how much damage your body will be able to sustain, before you faint, Hp increases as your level increases}

Hp Regen: 10/min (+100%) = 20/Min {this is the amount of Hp that is recovered as time passes}

Mp: 0/1000 [WILL BE 0 UNTIL LATENT ABILITES OR MAGIC CIRCUITS AWAKEN]

{Mana points (or Mp for short) is the numerical representation of how much mana your body has and how much it can contain, Mp increases as your level increases}{since your latent abilities or magic circuits have not been awakened, using magic in a world where the will of the Planet is hostile to all humans it is next to impossible, additionally if the age of Gods were still to be present, magic would still be usable}

Mp Regen: N/A {similar to Hp Regen but is currently locked}

-Stats- {These are the numerical representation of your physical and mental capabilities, these can be increased by spending points on them or doing training to increase a particular stat, the names of the stats should already give away what kind of training you have to do increase them and also what they do, so there will be no in-depth explanation for the stats}

STR (Strength): 8 [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN]

VIT (Vitality): 7 [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN] {Increasing this increases your HP, HP Regen and defense BTW}

DEX (Dexterity): 10 [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN] {this increases the strength of ranged weapons (even throwing swords count btw) and your agility}

END (Endurance): 6 [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN]

INT (Intelligence): 3

WIS (Wisdom): 2

CHA (Charisma): 49 [THIS INCREASES AS LEVEL INCREASES DUE TO HIDDEN LINEAGE]

LUK (Luck): 45

MAG (Magic): 0 [UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN]

{The reason why your INT, WIS and LUK does not have the (UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN) sign beside it, is because INT, and WIS are your mental capabilities and are not directly affected by your latent abilities and there probably is no need to explain about LUK and CHA is there? And have you noticed your physical capabilities are insanely high for an lvl.1}

{And also the reason you're CHA is so high is because of your hidden lineage, and for LUK…that is just your inborn luck, it can only be raised by using points}

{And now these are your stats in terms of the ranking of your current world}

STR (Strength): E-

END (Endurance): E-

AGI (Agility): E

MAG (Magical energy): N/A

LUK (Luck): B+

Points: 0 {the amount of points you can use to raise your stats}

Money: 0 {the amount of money you have, foreign currency can also be converted to match the currency of any specific country}

{Would you like to continue the tutorial?}

{Yes/No}

"Umm, I have a question"

{Please leave your questions for when the tutorial ends, thank you}

{Now then, to continue tutorial please say or think [Skills]}

"[Skills]"

{Skills Screen}

Gamers' Body (Passive): (Level: Max) this skillgrants a body that allows you to live in the real world like a game character.

Fire Affinity (Passive): (Level: Max) Due to being an Incarnation of Fire you have a natural affinity to it, Spells that are fire-based will have higher strength and also cause less MP to cast, also gives a 2000% increase to Xp for Fire-related spells, Meaning just using a flame spell once should get you to an extremely high level with it, it may seem OP but the opponents you're gonna face require you to be a bit OP, either that or you get killed, oh and this [A FIRE SKILL IS LOCKED UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN]

Sword Affinity (Passive) (Level: Max) Due to being an Incarnation of a Sword you have a natural affinity to it; Sword skills will get a 2000% increase in Xp gain… [MORE INFO UNLOCKED WHEN CERTAIN CONDITIONS MET]

Heroic Savior (Survivors guilt) (Passive) (Level: Max) Due to the incident in the fire, you have developed survivors guilt, this in turn makes you want to save everyone you see, that immediately needs help (+10 to all stats when saving someone) (Stat gain will become permanent if Person successfully saved)

Immortality (Passive) {Bet you didn't see this one coming} (Level: Max) Due to your hidden lineage you have become Immortal, you will not die even if you are killed, you will faint, like in a certain game that involves catching, training and battling with monsters, there is no limit to your immortality, so go and recklessly save people, if people tell you that you'll die just tell them "Just because you're right doesn't mean you're correct!" and then go to the rescue of the person in danger.

[MORE SKILL'S LOCKED UNTIL LATENT ABILITIES AWAKEN]

{Well that's about all the skills you have, and somehow all of them are passive…bro get some active skills, you need them, in fact since your fathers coming, puppy-dog eye him to teach you some, that's his weakness}

{Well that's about it…say Inventory}

"…Inventory"

A blue screen with lots of empty boxes inside it appeared

{This is your inventory screen, you can store items here, and yes you can store unlimited items, and then there's the equipped screen}

Another blue screen appeared, this one showed a picture of me with my current clothes, which is just a simple shirt and ants combo, and there are lots of boxes beside my picture, most of them empty, but two were not, one had a picture with my clothes, the other one had a golden sheath in it.

I pressed the golden sheath

And a blue box appeared

{Sorry, but the current you heavily relies on this item, so you will not be able to remove this item, but since this is the tutorial, a basic rundown of what this item is and what it does will be given}

{Avalon (All is a distant utopia)

Rank: Ex

Type: Barrier Noble Phantasm

Protection target: 1 person

Avalon is the sheath of the 'Strongest' holy sword in this world Excalibur, this sheath has the power to heal wounds (Thus you're +100% Hp Regen) it would have also granted immortality and stopped your aging, but those particular abilities have been negated, well immortality is not needed and you will naturally stop aging (If your latent abilities are unlocked) after you reach 19 (Which can be considered you're prime), this sheath can also be called a 'Moving fortress' centered on an individual, by producing this sheath in front of you it moves you to the land of fairies where all physical interactions are negated, it can even defend against any type of magic, it's basically the ultimate shield really, normally no one except the wielder of Excalibur could use this ability, but given your lineage, your sword affinity, Avalon making you who you are, and of course the fact that it's totally integrated with you it plays a huge role, and the best part? It uses no mana, so even given your state you should still be able to use it.

Go on try it, just feel Avalon inside you, and try to bring it outside}

I did as instructed, I searched inside me, searching for the sheath I just saw, I visualized it in my mind, and…finally found it felt so warm and nice…shaking my head, I brought my right hand in front of me, taking the pose of a super hero, I felt Avalon inside and tried to bring it out, for a few moments nothing happened, then the sheath materialized in front of me, and covered me in a golden aura…it felt warm and comfortable…I then noticed the intense light it gave off, and so as not to scare someone, I put it back inside, feeling the already familiar warmth, it made me feel warm and cozy on the inside.

—ping-

[Due to a special action, a new skill has been obtained]

Avalon (All is a distant utopia) (Active) (Level: Max) Allows you to create a sort of barrier (but in actuality sends you to the realm of fairies) and negates all sorts of attacks

Mp cost: 0

I swiped away the box and jumped with joy; I will become strong and save everyone, with that in mind I went to talk about this ability with my adoptive father, who I so affectionately call Jii-san.

-Chapter end-

A/N: so… how was it?
Hope you guys like it I put in a lot of effort for this, and don't worry all chapter's won't be this short…really I have nothing to add, except that I may update my Tokyo ghoul story soon, it's sitting at 5k words and in the middle of a fight scene.

So anyways read and review, if you disliked it please do not hold back your criticisms.

Lsilver19, Signing out.
