Unbreakable Willpower (LVL Max.) - The hardships of your life had been making you stronger than the average human being. Risk of Possession and Mind Control are reduced by the 75%.
Noble Soul (LVL Max.) - Having experienced the worst trauma, you know the pain and sufferings of others. Your Soul is brave and determined enough to let you become whatever you wish.
Cooking (LVL 152 - EXP 75/100) - You seem to possess some innate ability to Cook. Your current LVL makes all foods 76% more delicious and your understanding of Cooking Recipes greater than the Average.
Sword Prodigy (Unique! LVL Max.) - Your Element and Origins have finally awoken and you have received a 500% boost for 'Sword' related Skills and Equipment.
Tracing (Unique! LVL 80 57/100) - [Projection] and [Reinforcement] had been subsitute with this Skill. You have fully grasped the meaning behind this two Skills and so were able to develop this upgraded version. Current LVL permits the Tracing of blades for a cost of 20MP and a drain of 0.2MP per Minute. Tracing NPs costs 100MP and drains 0.8MP per Minute.
Rhos Aias (LVL 100 - EXP -/-) - The Legendary Shield of Aias the Great that has been sublimated in a Conceptual Weapon against all long-range attacks. Seven petals protects the User against any ranged attack. Maximum level reached!
[Partially Awakened] Avalon (LVL. MAX) - The Sheath of Excalibur, the Sword of Promised Victory. While Excalibur is more known than its sheat, Avalon is possibly far more powerful than the sword as it can heal every possible wounds of Mali conditions. Current Status limit its power to cure most common illnesses and gives a +5HP/minutes Regeneration.
[Blocked] Excalibur (Noble Phantasm Rank: X - Durability: Unbreakable) The sword of the legendary King Arthur, this blade is possibly the greatest representation of Mankind's Will and Justice. Currectly blocked as the Fae have yet to fully judge.
Reality Shift: UBW (Unique! LVL. 10) - Weakened version of EMIYA's Reality Marble (Unlimited Blade Works). Lacking the inner struggle that recreated the impressive arsenal, the Skill's effectiveness is determined by two factors, MP and [Tracing] LVL. The drain is extensive and it's advised to avoid a prolonged use.
Gate of Justice (LVL 25 - EXP 76/100) - Active Skill developed after interacting with the infamous Gate of Babylon. Gate of Justice can be considered a different skill as Gilgamesh's as it can be used to store everything you came in contact with. Its function is very similar to older versions of the Game's Inventory. Current Level limits space to 76 slots available.
Blessing of Babylonia (LVL MAX.) - Your determination and sense of justice has captivated the attention of the blades. Your drive to master your abilities has furthered the possibilities of fully bonding with the Gate of Babylon. This skill will give you the use of Gate of Babylon only if permitted by Gilgamesh himself. Reach higher levels and this Skill might be upgraded.
Mystic Hero Emiya (Unique!) - A noble hero in your heart and soul, Kaleidoband Diamond enpowers you with the Second Magic's unlimited MP pool and the possibility to use the classic Servants's powers and more. It activates only if using Mystic Hero Form via Diamond.
General Q&A! (Review Q&A will restarts with the first chapters of Arc II)
As I have noticed that some have been left confused at some parts of the story, I decided to answer the questions that have appeared commonly:
Q) So in the end, was it Irisviel or Justeaze the one who saved Shirou?
A) As I've stated in the final chapter, it was Justeaze. Sorry for those who expected Iri comeback but I had to keep as realistic as possible.
Q) Why Julian was absent from the whole mess in the last section?
A) There is a motivation. It will be described by the first chapters of Arc II. I also wish to add that Julian had not been planned to have a major role in the first Arc as I wanted to mainly to 'explain' how it all works. Consider Arc 1 a tutorial for this story.
Q) What is canon here? What should I watch to understand this story?
A) This story can be considered another Route for the series and since the change happens way before FSN, I consider both FSN and FPO as two distinct routes like Fate Route and Heaven Feel Route. So yes, it's a new unofficial canon. I would usually advise you to watch Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night (Visual Novel is better than anime/manga) and optionally Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.
Q) How much is this going to continue? Have you set a number of chapters before saying "It's complete"?
A) Yes and No. As of now my current plan sees this story reaching an Arc 6, still I didn't plan the number of chapters to reach that.
Q) You have initially stated that you didn't want to put Servants in the story. Why you changed opinion in the end?
A) I never said "I didn't want to", I merely stated that it wouldn't be convincing if a true HGW would happen if Shirou was going to try and stop it. Differently from several Writers, I usually take suggestions if things could fit in the storyline. As the opportunity came, I decided to satisfy several readers by adding Servants in the end, some new and some old.
Q) Any news about the Fan Manga/Doujinshi?
A) As of now, I still have not contacted my colleague about his attempts at drawing about it but I will be able to have a clear answer by this Wednesday.
Q) Who were those unnamed figures in the end?
A) No one has answered right, yet it is actually extremely simple :I
END Q&A
Before you all leave for your merry ways, I want to inform you that I will be at Etna Comics (Italy) for the first time on June 2nd. If some fans from Italy wishes to have some pleasant chat about the story or general ideas, I will more than happy to hear from them. Remember! I don't have an area as I've yet to do a comic so it means meeting without chairs or possibility to sit down.
