With his final breath, he destroyed the Holy Grail. Devoid of purpose after discarding his ideals, he laid down to die. Through the work of fate Emiya Shirou does not die, but instead awakes in a new world. Now, he who no longer wishes to be a hero will have to forge his path once again in a world in need of heroes.

People die when they are killed, unless they are Ciel. Ciel only suffers when she is killed. A chance meeting sparks a deep friendship in the Throne of Heroes.

Shirou Emiya is not a complicated person. He wants to save people, and he is willing to sacrifice anything to do so. However, how will the companionship of a certain blonde shinobi change the perspective of the Counter Guardian to-be? Will Shirou's abilities help guide the troubled world he finds himself in to a brighter future?

Emiya Kiritsugu was happy living the rest of his short days. He had put his past behind him... until he began to dream of futures that had yet to be. Let it be known that the Magus Killer was not dangerous simply because he was dying and had no plans to fight.

Shirou sacrificed himself to take Gilgamesh with him, dropping both of them into the Holy Grail. So he should be dead, right? Then why does he have so many questions? Questions such as why is he still alive? Why is the moon shattered? What is a faunus?

THIS IS NOT MINE. It began after I got rejected by Signal again, though at the time I had no idea what was happening. Titles and levels suddenly appeared above people's heads and then weird things began to happen, as if I was in a game. And then, I realize I was in a game. But...if my life is a game, I'm going to win it. My name's Jaune Arc and I'm the Gamer. RWBY/The Gamer.

Honestly, Shirou was beginning to think that he should be used to this; being unwittingly selected to take part in brutal tournament that he had no idea existed until he found himself in the middle of it. Then again, second times the charm, right?

While Shiki is away, Shirou comes to play at the Tohno estate. A combination of FSN and each Far Side route of Tsukihime.

The World is dying and humanity along with it, with modern civilization brought to its knees. In the face of this backdrop of despair and desolation, can even a would-be hero maintain his course? Or like so many others, will he stray from it...and fail?

When Louise Valliere performed her summons for her familiar, she certainly didn't expect for it to be a human! Strangely enough, the boy she summoned, Shirou Emiya, didn't expect to get summoned so soon. He hadn't even died yet!
