7 Heroes

This fanfic is based on the Rising of the Shield Hero, saw it and love it. Now I can't stop thinking about this fanfic. It will be an AU but still maintaining somewhat canon but now have more "heroes", the original four still get summon. This was inspired by Rise of the Bow Hero by Godreal and Chronicles of the Wayward Tome Hero by LoneTaker.

I do not own Rising of the Shield Hero or any of the characters, also I do not own any of the other mentioned franchises. Only my original character

Chapter 1 New World, 7 Heroes?

In another place, in another time, four people were summoned into a different world, a different reality, with one sole purpose to save it from complete annihilation. These people were called the four legendary heroes.

The Sword, Spear, Bow and Shield, now some might consider the shield to be not a weapon, as a shield protects not attacks. The Shield was the most hated for simply being chosen by fate, giving an impossible mission against immeasurable odds and rise for the challenge. Becoming the shield hero. However, this is not the same world

As the calamity grow so did the threats came with it, and not only did the threats grow stronger but smarter, some try to hide from the heroes to strike at their weakest while others became a threat to large not even the legendary weapons could hurt them.

Those worlds fell far faster than anticipated. Powerful beings have taken advance of the conflict and confusion surrounding the Heroes, driving them on their knees with their failure and expectation, not even the shield hero was able to stand against such attacks from the shadows.

But this time, in another place, more than four heroes were summoned, each carrying a different weapon and don't see them as heroes. Sometimes the world doesn't need heroes to save the day, it needs monsters to keep it from getting any worse.

We follow a new hero, the Hero of the Grimoire name Sebastian Alastor who for better or for worse will change the very balance of the world.

Earth 2020

Another day, another show, these were the thoughts of Sebastian as he sits on his chair looking through his reviews on his radio show. He was glad that people are taking his radio show seriously and loves getting reviews. It one of the things he loves, putting on a show and getting everyone attention, whether good or bad as everyone listens to the radio.

Not only does he express himself through music but even adding commentary on everyday life, such as politics and how people should get their shit together. The thought puts a smile on his face at people either coagulating him on making a stand or threating him to stop standing up for what he believes in.

Like it ever matters as far as their concern he has legal right to say whatever he wants, just as all radio shows do. Sebastian stands up and heads for the shower, taking off his clothes before walking in. As he turns on the water he thinks to himself, how lucky he was to get a work at the radio show Prime Radio, a popular radio show has everyone loves to listen and he gets at least an hour to talk and show the music he loves to listen too. Sadly he was never able to make to the big stage, making a live theatre show, preforming musical, music concerts, and hell anything just to stand in front of a crowd and just start expressing himself, no holding back.

Dropping his head down as the water goes down above his head; sadly he never got the chance. His parents were always busy, forcing him to focus more on housework and looking after his little sister. He loves his sister and his parents but he just feels like their holding him back, keeping him from reaching his independents, going out on his own but sadly the family need him.

As he turns off the tap, he steps out of the shower looking for a towel. Finding one on the rack before using it to dry himself off, once dried he went to this room to get dress. Putting on some track pants and top before getting his iPhone and wallet before putting on his watch. Looking at the time to see it 8.30, good thing he on break today.

"Bastian, Bastian" He here a call for his name as he turns to see the caller, as he walks out his room he sees his sister Lilly calling his name looking for him. Grinning at this he slowly sneaks to the little girl planning something, as soon he was he arm reach he jumps up and picks her up spinning around.

"hahahahaha the little princess Lilly has been captured by the dashing evil brother haha," Sebastian said he a villain-like voice as he starts to tickly his 8-year-old little sister, much to her surprise and enjoyment.

"hahaha stop it, stop it you wicked one hahaha how dare you touch the princess hahaha" Lilly laughs as her brother keeps tickly her and spinning her.

"hahaha," Sebastian laughs as he puts her down.

"So little sister what can your deal big brother do for you today," Sebastian said smiling at her as she just stares at him.

"Mum and dad left again," Lilly said looking down on the ground causing Sebastian smile to turn into a frown. Again with this, honestly after Mum promises to take her out they just forgot her again. Jesus Sebastian thinks as this is more of a habit than been forgetful as their parents are so used to working day in and out that they don't know how to take time off when we're doing just fine.

"oooo are they now," Sebastian said causing Lilly to look back up at him.

"Well how about today we go visit Grandma and Grandpa today" Sabastian finish causing her face to light up like a Christmas tree.

"Really we can finally go see Gran Gran after soooo long," Lilly said in excitement at visiting their Grandparents, as their own parent were always busy as work the duty of looking after them falls to their Grandparents.

"Yes we are, now go get your shoes and bags while I start the car," he said as he watches run to her room to get her things, chuckling at himself he went to get the car ready. He went to get his keys before heading out to starts his car. Waiting in the seat for a minute before seeing his sister run around to get in the driver seat, put her seat belt on as he starts to drive off.

"Bastian, how come we don't visit Gran Gran and Pop Pop anymore" Lilly ask on why they stop visiting our home every week, as Sebastian just sigh at himself.

"Well little one, Grand Ma and Pa are going through a tough time in their lives, with GrandPa getting more tied and Grand Ma needing to take her medicine more often, well it can cause some issues" Sebastian tries to explain the situation so Lilly can understand

"Is that why they fight last time?" Lilly said with a frown remembering her Grandparents fighting about something she couldn't understand.

"No Lilly that was about something else," Sebastian said also recalling that argument "but don't worry just know that no matter what happens they still love you," he said in a reassuring tune with Lilly just smiling sadly at this.

As he drives through traffic they slowly went to a stop before reaching their Grandparents home. Lilly nearly jumps out of the car before rushing to the door, chucking behind her as Sebastian locks this car before running to the door after her. Reaching the door he sees Lilly trying to ring the doorbell, smiling at her before grabbing her armpits to lift her up to press the bell.

Bing Bong

They hear footstep coming before see the door unlock revealing their 66-year-old lady.

"Hellooo kids" their Grandmother greeted with joy as she hugs her grandchildren

"Hi, Gran Gran we came to surprise you, were you surprised, were you?" Lilly questions to see if their surprise visit worked

"Yes dear I'm very surprised you came" Gran-Gran answer hugging Lilly as she cheered

"Hello Grandmother, how lovely it to see you again" Sebastian greet in an overstated voice which Gran Gran just laughed as his showmanship, she always loved how creative her grandson is and how many shows he performs in front of them.

"Well come inside, I was just baking some cookies for later, want to help?" She asks Lilly who cheers in excitement of making cookies with Gran Gran.

"Oooo Ooo can we use chocolate chip, can we can we pleassse? With sugar on top" Lilly begs Grandmother to use chocolate to make the cookies, as her Grandmother just laugh picking her up.

"Of course," Gran-Gran said carrying her granddaughter to the kitchen with Sebastian following

"So where is the old man" Sebastian asked looking around for his Grandfather, see that he was not here to greet them.

"He outs at the garage trying to fix the chair he broke a few days ago," Gran-Gran said in frustration at her Husband action as of late. Thing were great with their marriage, coming here, having kids and grandkids. However so he started to forget things, at first it was simply a few tools and were to drive to but as the years went on he keeps forgetting more and more memory, the doctor said it a form of dementia. With his quick temper, he sometimes lasts out to anything close to him, most of the time it be her. But she still loves him all the same, no matter what happens and she knows he loves her in the end, after all, they been through together.

"I'll go keep an eye out for him," Sebastian said knowing what the problem is. Has more than once he came over in order to calm things down before his grandfather got too violent. He doesn't forget Sebastian as he always visits and listens to his stories, one of the things Sebastian love about his Grandfather is how realistic he tells a story. Walking to the garage he hears the noise of a hammer hitting wood. Open the door Sebastian comes to the sight of an old man in a sleeveless top hammering a nail on a broken chair, looking up from his work see his grandson.

"Hello young hunter" the old man greeted as he went back to work, not that Sebastian mind as he knew once this gramps starts something he tries to finish it as soon as possible.

"Hello old man, broken another chair I see," Sebastian said looking at the damage of the chair, two of the legs are snapped off and it doesn't look stable at all.

"There old chair anyway," Gramps said as he puts down the hammer before head over to get a drink from a small refrigerator at the corner of the garage and picking up two Coke Zeros, giving one to Sebastian.

"I'm still amazed you got a mini-fridge in here," Sebastian said taking a sip of coke before looking around the garage, seeing lots of old tools and junk everywhere.

"Well I did spend most of my time here and it always gets hot, so best to have something to drink," Gramps said sitting down and drinking his Coke.

"mmmMMM" Sebastian nodded before looking at a few cranes that his Grandfather has whenever he gets leg cramps, until something catches his eye, putting his drink down in order to pick up a rather dangerous looking crane, the handle looks like a hammer and a pick-axe.

"That the M48 Kommando Tactical Survival Hammer, that cane can smash nearly anything in your vicinity, I even had it modified," Gramps said with pride in his voice.

"You modified an already dangerous-looking weapon, scary" Sebastian grinned at the crane in hand.

"Why don't you keep it?" Gramps said to a surprised Sebastian

"Are you sure, you won't miss it or anything" Sebastian question on why give away such a tool.

"I have more than enough waiting sticks anyway, maybe you can make use of that old thing, with all your performances" Gramps just smiled as his grandson starts to turn and get a feel of this new crane.

"It perfect, thank you, Grandpa," Sebastian said before throwing it up in the air to perform a trick but accidentally hitting the book selves causing a few books to fall.

"Shit, sorry sorry" Sebastian apologies before dropping down to pick some the books with this Grandfather helping him.

"It fine, It fine, just practice with that thing next time," Gramps said helping pick up the books, as they put the books back on the shelve Sebastian looks down to see one more book still on the floor, picking it up and looking at the cover.

"The Record of the Four Holy Weapons" Sebastian reads the title

"Hey, old man where did you get this old book?" Sebastian asks in Oldman about its origins showing the book.

"Hmmm, ooo that book I found when I was a young man," Gramps said trying to remember about the book as Sebastian reads the pages

"4 heroes are summoned to save the world from a wave of something, sound cliché" Sebastian said after reading the first page

"Each hero has a weapon, the sword, spear, bow and shield, to fight the waves, only one weapon each, why not just give everyone a sword and be done with it," Sebastian said at why giving the heroes different weapons

"Because swords are shit weapons." Gramps retorted immediately. "The only time that using a sword makes even a lick of sense is in a duel against an unarmoured enemy, otherwise the only thing they're good for is showing off."

"But wouldn't swords be more manoeuvrable and less tiring to use"

Gramps gave Sebastian a look "That's true, but it won't help you kill a man in armour unless aiming for weak spots, whereas an axe or mace will simply crush the bones under the armour without needing to get through it. And using a sword on a battlefield is even worse because most of the enemies you'll face will be using spears or some other kind of polearm and will thus have more reached than you."

Sebastian looked at his Grandfather, odd has to how he knew so much about weapons when Sebastian himself only played video games and watch TV shows.

"What's the best weapon, then Gramps, the sword, the spear, the bow or the shield?" Sebastian asked curiously.

"There is no such thing as a 'best' weapon." Gramps shook his head. "It all depends on the situation; swords are only good against unarmoured enemy at close range, spears can kill you from a distance but won't help close range, bows can kill you from a distance while shields can defend you from all three but if you want the most versatile weapon, then that would probably be the poleaxe."

He took a moment to think of how to explain is before continuing.

"Combining the functionality of a spear, axe and Warhammer, the poleaxe tends to be a good weapon for most situations. Same as that cane you have there, you can break bones, trip someone up or stab them with the pickaxe."

Sebastian just thinks for a moment as he listens to this Grandfather, one of the things he loves about him. He can agree with most of what he said but he has watched Marvel Captain America and Green Arrow so he has to disagree on some of it.

"Well, what would you do, about this book than, dear Gramps" Sebastian ask about the story situations.

"If you're going to use magic bullshit to summon random people to play heroes, you might as well get more than 4," Gramps said about the idea of summoning people

"Really, and what item would you give these "heroes" to fight the Fortnight wave" Sebastian chuckled at the comparison of the game and story.

"if it were up to me little hunter, I give them a mace for breaking bones, a knife or dagger to kill people instantly and why not give someone a magic book," Gramps said

"So Seven heroes instead of Four, that would make more sense, lucky seven," Sebastian said hell why not summon an army to fight for you.

"It doesn't matter in the end it only a game played been played by big boys, anyway I going inside to see little Lilly, and yes seven is a lucky number than four," Gramps said leaving to see his only granddaughter. Leaving Sebastian alone with the book, chuckled as him before reading more of the book.

Quickly reading through the book, summoning four heroes, it reminds him of the Fate stay series, instead of summoning seven only four. The Saber, Lancer, Archer, and Shielder, just missing the Caster, Rider, Berserker and Assassin.

Putting the book down on his side before picking up his new cane, suddenly myriad of golden lights streaking all around him, everything was glowing and shaking than the next thing he next he was on the ground groaning in pain.

"What the fuck," said a voice

After blinking away the pain, Sebastian realized that there was something very wrong with what he was seeing. First, were the green lights all around him, next was the strange pentagram that was glowing under him, and finally, looking towards where he thought he heard the voice, eyes squinting, he finally was able to see several blurry figures before him, beyond the lights.

The owner of the voice that had spoken before, continue to shout in excitement,

"Oh! The summoning was a success."

Finally being able to focus his vision enough, Sebastian was able to get a good look at what lay before him. It was a group of people, some looking in awe it is direction, others had their eyes closed and their hands clapped in a praying position, there were some with hoods obscuring their faces, and in front of them stood a man with a tiara or crown in his head, all of them were wearing long green robes with golden trimming.

"Where am I?" Another voice questioned, and this one, happen to be nearer. Looking down he found the owner rubbing his head, most likely having suffered as gracious as a fall as he had. The person in question looks to be late teens, most likely around the same age as Sebastian himself. Hair as long as his own, and wearing a green shirt. The most peculiar thing, however, would be what he had attached to his arm, a pentagon made of metal, with a shining green jewel in the middle.

"Ohh brave legendary heroes, please save our world." The man with the tiara pleads clapping his hands in a prayer position. Sebastian for his part could only look stupefied to what lay in front of him, feeling heavyweight in his hands he sees that he is holding what appears to be a book. A rather large book that looks like the size of a backpack with the combined thickness of two maths textbooks and pages around the edgy looked to be cover by some kind of metal, the book was Obsidian black with a white pearl on the centre of the book's cover.

Looking over the book before looking around at what appears to be cultist with the way they are dress Sebastian found his voice.

"Pardon me for sound antagonist but what the fuck is going?"
