Chapter 1: A New World With The Princess
Mifune, a normal city for those who have lived here all their life. Nothing strange happens here as many people walked the streets here without any problems whatsoever, and no crimes did not occur either. A place where it is ideal to have a family, and live happily
We see this, as many shop owners opened their respective businesses early in the morning waiting for the usual customers who arrived at this hour. While this was happening many families were waking to either go to work or to go to school on this beautiful morning, overall a completely normal city filled with normal people.
And, while there are many interesting people here, there is a particular family that we must center upon for they are part of the main characters of this story. As we look upon an interesting house that is completely different than the rest since this was not a "normal" house in this neighborhood. For this was a Japanese-styled mansion that was located in the middle of this area which made everyone there become intrigued by it, due to its design.
In the beginning, many people felt a bit uncomfortable by this house that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, yet the reason that they were uncomfortable was not that it suddenly appeared, for some reason. No, it was because they thought that it belonged to a Yakuza family since many of these known criminals usually have these styles of homes. But it was only for a moment since after they met the owners of this house only a day later, it was here they found out that they were the best neighbors they ever had, even though they were surprisingly young.
Speaking of the owners of this incredible house, we could see them both sleeping together in each other's arms while they were in the land of dreams in peace. This simple display of affection showed the love that they have for each other, which surprised many people who got to know them due to their "age". But, they did not pay it any mind since they were happy together.
Then at that moment, the light of the sun entered the room we can finally see them completely. One was a tall young man of sixteen years with a strong build, white almost tan skin, and auburn hair with multiple white streaks that made it look like highlights that were dyed even though they were not. The other was a beautiful young woman who looked like sixteen years with a normal build, pale skin that made her look like a porcelain doll, and short blond hair that looked almost like silk.
These two were the owners of this home and despite their apparent age, no one could argue that these two were one of a kind. Not only because of their looks (much to the charging of the male and female population) but mostly due to how they present themselves as kind people, and extremely mature as well. This gained the popularity of many people here. Alas, they did not pay attention to this since they lived happily together in peace.
But back to the story itself. As the light filtered into the room we could see how the light hit the young man's face which caused him to wake up. As his eyes opened we could now see their color which was gold, this made his appearance look even more exotic due to this. He then started to look around the room for a moment until his eyes landed on the woman next to him who was sleeping with a smile on her face.
This sight made him feel a sudden rush of happiness at the reminder of where they were now. That after many years of fear, and anxiety, finally, they could both be happy together without the worry of someone trying to kill him, or separating them forever.
But now that they were far from all of that, they could finally be happy. And even though he wanted to stay together like this all day, he knew that they had responsibilities they needed to take care of. So, he gently spoke to the love of his life so that she could wake up.
"Arcueid it's morning."
This caused the now-named woman to gently open her red eyes, where she saw the sight of her love there looking at her with a gentle smile. Seeing this sight made her have a gentle look as she spoke while hugging him.
"Good morning Shirou."
Seeing this, made Shirou chuckle a bit as he hugged her as well, he then spoke once again.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, it was a good rest like always." She replied to him still smiling.
They both remained quiet as they simply hugged each other. Which created a peaceful moment between the two, they lasted like this for a few minutes simply savoring each other's touch. However, this peace needed to end as Shirou spoke.
"You know it still feels surreal how we can finally be happy together."
After hearing him, Arcueid had a knowing look since she also felt the same. All of this joy, and tranquility made her believe that it was just a sick dream that someone created for their amusement something that she knew that Shirou felt the same. But much to their joy, and relief all of this was real, which meant they could finally be a normal family. On this line of thought, she gently cupped his face as they both looked into each other's eyes. She then spoke while showing her happiness.
"You are correct, but remember. This is real, all of this love and happiness that we are experiencing right now is real. No longer will we be in fear of the future since now we can be happy. So let us enjoy this new life that we are given together, without the need for fear of anything anymore."
Shirou could only smile at his lover's words, as he then leaned forward and kissed her, which she lovingly corresponded. But this kiss was not a simple one, for this kiss was one filled with love and a reminder of the promise that they made years ago. And, while they continued kissing the door of their room suddenly opened as a voice filled with annoyance spoke out.
"Mou Onii-chan stop kissing Arcueid this early in the morning!"
This made them stop kissing as they looked at the person who was at the door with different expressions. Shirou had a bashful look as he smiled, while Arcueid had a teasing one. This made the person more annoyed as she spoke.
"Honestly. I know that you two love each other, but couldn't you wait until you both got a bath before you started making out?!"
Shirou could only blush more at her words, but Arcueid smiled while saying.
"Oh, Illya-chan why so grumpy this morning? Could it be that you wanted to kiss your Onii-chan too~?"
This caused the now-named young woman to blush dangerously as she started to stutter. Illaysviel von Einzbern, Shirou Emiya's self-proclaimed adopted younger sister even though she is older than him. And unlike in many worlds where she, unfortunately, had the body of a child due to the Einzbern's experiments, this time she had a body that corresponded to her age which is that of a beautiful young woman.
With pale skin, silver hair, and red eyes it makes her look like royalty. So anyone would be surprised on seeing how her pale skin became red due to Arcueid's teasing.
"W-W-Why do you even believe that?!" Screamed Illya in embarrassment.
Seeing this Arcueid simply had a coy smile as she replied.
"Well, you tell me Illya-chan?"
Illya simply started shaking as her blush deepened, and at that moment she yelled out before running out.
"Just get ready since we have school!"
At the sight of his sister's embarrassment, Shirou simply shook his head in amusement while Arcueid giggled at what she had done.
"You know that one day, she is going to get you back." He simply stated, as she then gave him a playful look while speaking.
"She might, but until then I will be enjoying this."
Afterward, they both got up from their futon and went to the bathroom. It took at least twenty minutes for them to finish as they both exited their room, and it was here where we saw their uniform.
It was a blue polo blazer with white outlines and the school insignia on their left breast pocket. For Shirou, he wore a blue tie with red and yellow stripes in a zig-zag pattern and grey pants. And for Arcueid, she wore a red neck ribbon with blue and yellow stripes at the end and a grey skirt. This was something that one could have expected to see Shirou wearing since he did study in a school before, but seeing Arcueid in this outfit was surprising. But she decided to go to school since in her words "It would be fun!".
So now we see two of the most well-known people in their old world preparing to go to school due to their strength and reputation. If anyone from the Mage's Association, or the Church heard this they would have fainted on the spot.
Still back to the matter at hand, after they left their room they both went to the living room where there they saw Illya there looking at them with an annoyed look, and two more other people who looked almost exactly like Illya who were now serving breakfast.
The only difference was that one had modest clothes, and her hair was longer but not as long as Illya's, while the other had shorter hair, and more comfortable clothes while having dead eyes. These two were Sella and Leysritt, or Liz for short. Their maids, only in name that is since they consider them more as part of their family than anything else.
"Honestly every single morning is the same with the two of you." Said Illya while letting out a tired breath.
Shirou simply scratch his head in embarrassment at his sister's words while Arcueid simply shrugged.
"Well, Illya-chan it isn't our fault that we love each other dearly." Stated Arcueid with a teasing smile, however before Illya could refute Sella intervened.
"Arcueid-sama, while we do know that you love Shirou-sama, please refrain from antagonizing Illya-sama this early in the morning." Indicated Sella with a serious look.
Arcueid pouted a bit since she couldn't continue her fun, while Illya stuck out her tongue at her which caused Sella to speak to her this time.
"Illya-sama do not instigate Arcueid-sama if you do not wish to be antagonized."
At her remark, Illya looked down in embarrassment as Arcueid had a triumphant look. This was all seen by Shirou who simply had a wry smile as he then looked at the meal in front which caused him to frown which was noticed by Liz, which then made her pat his back.
"Sorry Shirou, you know how Sella is." She said in her usual monotone voice.
This made him nod in defeat, he then noticed how Sella shot him a smirk for a split second. This made his eyebrow twitch in annoyance, but he did not speak it out as he said.
"Well let's start eating everyone."
They then nodded as they put their hands together in prayer and said at the same time.
"Itadakimasu!"
After that, they all ate in relative peace while talking among each other. They were so engrossed in their time as a family that they did not notice the time until Sella spoke out.
"My Lord, my Ladies, it is time for all of you to leave for school."
At this, they looked at the clock, which showed that they had thirty minutes until school started. At this, they all finished their breakfast and grabbed their respective school bags as Shirou spoke.
"We'll come home a bit late since we have club meetings today, so you can eat without us."
"More like Illya and I have, while you go and repair some things for the Student Council." Said Arcueid with a knowing smile. As Illya, Sella, and Liz shook their heads in resignation.
Shirou could only laugh awkwardly since she was right, even though he is technically almost thirty before he rejuvenated. And that he was feared, and respected in the Moonlit World he still is at his core a good person it is just that he values himself, and his family more than anything else.
This means that old habits die hard, especially now that is back to being a teenager again. At this reminder, he also thought about the clubs that Arcueid and Illya participated in.
Illya was a part of the science club for obvious reasons due to her Alchemy, so being in that club was obvious. But the club that Arcueid choose which was the design club surprised him, in a good way that is since she now has her hobby of designing clothes.
Knowing that she picked that club made him happy, since he already knows her love for new clothes, not because of normal reasons but mostly because she's always been curious about wearing new things. This made him remember the first time he brought her to a clothing store, and that she almost took her top off in the middle of said store, before he intervened and told her where she should try the clothes. That was an extremely embarrassing day for him.
Alas, seeing her joy at wearing and creating new clothes made him smile every time he saw her, and also grateful for his grandfather-in-law's actions. Since before coming here, they couldn't get someone to teach her about the art of designing clothes from scratch for obvious reasons. But now, they managed to find someone who taught her, and honestly, he was also fascinated by the history behind the clothing of different countries. This has allowed her to create new designs by mixing them, and out of all of them, the design that she enjoys the most is the Japanese style of clothing for some reason.
Still, he wouldn't change this for anything else, as he then noticed how Arcueid was now looking at him with a gentle look. He then felt her hand in his, which made him squeeze it a little. Already knowing that she knew what he was thinking he simply smiled at her and then they both heard Illya's voice.
"Well come you two, we wouldn't want to be late."
Hearing her they both nodded as they said goodbye, and left their home. As they went outside they saw many people leaving their homes as well, and at that moment all three of them saw a black-haired teenager closing the door of his home while yawing a bit.
"Hajime-kun good morning!" Shouted Arcueid which gained the teen's attention as he smiled at them.
"Ah good morning, Arcueid, Shirou, Illya!"
Hajime Nagumo, a normal-looking young man with black hair and brown eyes. He is the son of Shuu Nagumo the President of a video game company, and Sumire Nagumo a famous shoujo mangaka artist. Overall he comes from an otaku family, but unlike the bad reputation that otakus have, this family are good people.
For you see they were the first ones who talked with them when they got here, and since then they have been good friends, or even family at this point. And during this past year, they also learned a lot about the gaming and manga industry thanks to them, thus corrupting them in the world that is anime. They also learned that Hajime usually spends time helping his parents with their work, which usually leads to him sleeping in class due to exhaustion.
As they saw that he was approaching them, Illya spoke in a scolding tone at seeing his tired state.
"Hajime-kun were you working late again?"
This caused Hajime to look away with a nervous smile, which made Illya let out a tired breath.
"What have your parents and we told you about working late?! You have to take care of your body more!" Scolded Illya which caused Hajime to scratch his face in embarrassment.
You see Hajime, was feeling embarrassed not because of Illya's beauty, but more because she was scolding him. This is so because Hajime considers Illya as his surrogate older sister due to her personality, more than anything else. Since she is caring for people whom she considers family, while also be somewhat scary when dealing with people who annoy her.
While he considers both Shirou and Arcueid his best friends mostly because they treat him like a normal person. And because of their topics regarding anime, and gaming as a whole which he finds fascinating every time they talk about them. This led to an interesting friendship between him and the lovers.
"Sorry, it's just that mom had a deadline coming up. So she needed help." Explained Hajime, which made Illya to once again let out a tired breath once again.
"Honestly, you remind me of Shirou every time we have this discussion."
This made Shirou look away with a small blush, while Arcueid simply laughed at this before then saying.
"Well, the good thing is that he's getting paid for his help, while Shirou here does it for free."
"Arcueid!" Shouted Shirou in embarrassment while all three of them laughed at this. Shirou grumbled a bit as he then spoke as he started walking away.
"Let's get going, we don't want to be late for school."
"Oh come on, Shirou don't be embarrassed!" Laughed Arcueid as she grabbed his shoulder as they walked, while Illya and Hajime laughed as well as they followed.
The school wasn't far from their home only fifteen minutes on foot, which meant that they could walk there in peace as they all chatted with each other. And while they were talking they arrived at their school, and they all suddenly felt the change in the atmosphere, but they weren't surprised since this was usual every time they get there.
"Ahh The same as usual huh." Stated Hajime as the others nodded at what he said. They all then looked around them and saw the looks of hatred directed at Hajime and Shirou.
In this particular school, Shirou, Arcueid, and Illya were well known here for two different reasons. Let's start first with the ladies of the Emiya household.
Both, Arcueid and Illya were known to be a part of the Four Goddesses of the school due to their beauty and their kind nature. While Shirou was known as a delinquent here. Mostly due to his white streaks even though he has said multiple times that they are natural and yet they do not believe him. And also because he beat up a lot of guys who demanded he broke up with Arcueid and resorted to trying to hurt him.
Overall he gained the hate of almost the entire male populace of the school except for the School Council since he helps them in their work, while Hajime gained the hatred from everybody because he spends time with them, and due to another reason why which shall be revealed soon.
"Honestly I really do despise this prejudice against you two." Said Arcueid while crossing her arms as they all entered the school building.
"Ahh Me too, but you know how it is with teenagers." Said Illya with a tired look, which was shared by both Shirou, and Hajime.
They all then ignored the looks of either admiration or hatred (well most of them, Hajime still didn't like them), until Illya separated from them to go to her classroom. After that, they all then arrived at their classroom, which made Hajime look resigned. Which made the couple give him a look of compassion.
"Well just like Hajime said, the same as usual." Said Shirou as he opened the door, and there they saw their classmates talking with each other. Until they all looked at them, and just like in the hallways the same looks from almost everyone from before were directed at them.
This once again made them have a tired look, while they went to their desks. But before they could even sit down, they all heard the voice that annoyed them the most.
"Oh looks like, that the Otaku played an eroge last night! Just look at him!"
Hearing his voice Shirou, and Arcueid let out an annoyed breath, while Hajime had a nervous smile, they then looked at the person who insulted Hajime just now.
Daisuke Hiyama a brown-haired young man with brown eyes, and known as the leader of the group who torments Hajime constantly. An annoying individual who at first tried to do the same to Shirou, if it wasn't for the fact that he was one of the people who Shirou had beaten when he tried to force him to leave Arcueid.
However, unlike the others, he did not learn since after that, he tried to convince Arcueid on breaking up with Shirou saying that he was a better man than him which resulted in him being punched in the face. This resulted in him getting knocked out, which was seen by everyone there. And ever since that day, he hasn't messed with them due to fear.
However, if he can't torment them, then why can't he do it with their friend? Thus ever since then, he has bullied Hajime constantly due to this, and for one particular reason.
Now you may ask, why haven't the two of them stopped this? Well, the reason is that Hajime. He requested it since he doesn't want to see his friends being in trouble due to his problems. So with much resignation, they have remained quiet unless Daisuke hurts him physically.
But like what was said before, the main reason why he bullies Hajime is that he gained the attention of someone who many desired to have as well.
"Good morning, Nagumo-kun, Arcueid-san, Emiya-san!" Said a voice filled with joy, much to Hajime's nervousness, and for the lover's amusement while they saw her.
Kaori Shirasaki a black-haired young woman, with golden-colored eyes, and one of the Four Goddesses of the school. She is known for her kind nature and her obliviousness to certain things, one of them being this.
"Hello Shirasaki-san." Said Hajime in resignation.
"Good morning, Shirasaki-san/Kaori-chan!" Said both Shirou and Arcueid respectively as one had a normal smile, while Arcueid was happy at seeing her friend and then hugged her.
This made Shirou smile gently at seeing her having a friend that she could talk to without the need to worry about them betraying her by killing him. And while this was happening he noticed that someone was approaching him as that person spoke.
"It seems that you're happy this morning Emiya-kun."
"Well Yaegashi-san, you know how Shirou is regarding Arcueid." Said Hajime with a smile as the person also smiled at what he said.
Shirou simply chuckled at his friend's remarks, and he then looked at the person next to him with a smile. Shizuku Yaegashi the final one of the Four Goddesses of the school. A beautiful young woman with black hair and red eyes. She is well known for her serious nature and her mastery of Kendo. She is also a dear friend of Kaori, Arcueid, Illya, Shirou, and Hajime. Seeing that she was next to him, he spoke up in a gentle tone.
"Well, of course, since today seems to be a good day."
Shizuku nodded at what he said as she looked at where her two friends conversed happily. She then opened her mouth to say something, but Shirou cut her off with a wry look.
"Yaegashi-san I will not be a part of the Kendo club."
Shizuku then click her tongue since that was exactly what she wanted to ask him. You see during their first few months of them being in this school Shizuku was walking toward the Kendo Club Room after practice since she left something there. And as she approached the club room she heard that someone was practicing inside, which confused her since it was late, and everyone from the club had left. So being curious she investigated and it was here where she saw Shirou practicing with a shinai while Arcueid observed him.
This greatly surprised her that the supposed delinquent of the school actually knew how to use a shinai. And all of his techniques were perfect, there was no wasted movement at all as he practiced. All in all, it was like watching her family when they are practicing in their dojo. However, she failed to notice when both Arcueid and he were looking at her with questioning gazes. Which caused her to blush in embarrassment, but she remained serine as she then spoke about his skill and that he should consider joining her club, and much to her shock he politely denied her request. Saying that he was not interested in joining a club.
And ever since that day, she has tried to convince him to join, with every time him denying her. But, surprisingly much to everyone's surprise led them to become friends, and for her to introduce them to Kaori which made them all friends, in the end, much to Hajime's misery.
No one knows how this happened, but it did. Something that they're all grateful for every day.
"Still your right, it seems that today would a good day after all." Said Shizuku as both Shirou, and Hajime nodded at her, in that moment they all heard Arcueid's voice.
"Hello, Shizuku-chan!" She said while hugging Kaori as they both had smiles on their faces. Shizuku simply shook her head in amusement as she also greeted her.
"Good morning to you too, Arcueid-san."
However, before Arcueid could say anything at that moment all five of them noticed how two young men were approaching them. And much to Shirou's, Arcueid's, Shizuku's, and Hajime's annoyance, one of them spoke with a serene smile.
"Honestly Kaori, Shizuku you two talking with them this early in the morning, you're both too kind to this obligation."
"Well except for Emiya and Brunested-san, I don't know why you two talk with someone so pathetic as Nagumo." Said the other young man as he glared at Hajime, which made said young man grimace.
Kouki Amanogawa, Ryutarou Sakagami Kaori, and Shizuku's other friends. Kouki is a tall young man with brown hair and green eyes (web novel version), overall he is a typical ikemen who is Kaori, and Shizuku's childhood friend, and he is considered the prince of the school. While Ryutarou is a buff young man with black hair and black eyes, he is Kouki's best friend.
Now you all may wonder. Why did the mentioned few before had annoyed looks as they heard him? Well, the answer is plainly simple.
Both Shirou and Arcueid are always annoyed by Kouki's "heroic" personality since they know that he has an immature way of seeing justice. So much so, that there have been times that they even considered killing him so that they don't hear his voice any longer when he tries to convince them to not fight with other people in the beginning, something that a certain red knight would approve of. Alas, they have managed to calm themselves down every time they hear his idiotic speeches about doing the right thing no matter what.
While for Shizuku is because no matter how many times she tells him, he always believes that he is right. And that it is other people's fault for not listening to him. And Hajime is mostly because he can see that Kouki even with his "perfect" smile always seems antagonistic towards him, which he does not know why.
And lastly, in Ryutarou's case, it is due to him being an idiotic musclebrain that always insults Hajime for some reason.
Thus every time that they are near them the other three remain quiet since they know that people like them do not listen to reason. While Shizuku simply held her forehead already waiting to intervene. But then in a clueless tone, Kaori spoke which made Hajime become fearful since he already knows what was going to happen.
"Kouki-kun, I talk with them because I want to. I don't have any obligation to do so."
After hearing her Arcueid, and Shirou stifled a laugh at her reply, Shizuku was trying not to smile. And even though Hajime even though somewhat grateful for her words still felt the death glares from his classmates.
Seeing everyone's glares directed at Hajime, Shizuku decided to intervene before her Kouki could say something else.
"Kouki, she's right. We talk with them because they're our friends, not due to an obligation." Stated Shizuku with a frown.
Hearing what she said made Kaori, Hajime, Shirou, and Arcueid smile at her for her honesty. While Kouki's smile faltered a little which was noticed by Shizuku, and the couple, but did not comment on it.
"I-Is that so." Replied Kouki, and before he could say anything else they heard the bell signaling the start of classes.
So with that, they all went to their respective seats, and then Hajime thought while seeing how the teacher arrived.
"Let's see how this day goes."
And with that classes went by fast for Hajime, well that happened since he slept through each class much to his friend's amusement and his classmate's anger. And now they were entering lunch period we now see Hajime waking up from his nap.
"Slept well." Said Shirou with a smirk while he carried his, and Arcueid's bento boxes as they sat in front of him.
"Yeah, it was a pretty good nap." He replied with no shame in his voice.
Shirou rolled his eyes when he heard him, while Arcueid giggled a little. They then noticed Kaori and Shizuku walking toward them with their own bento boxes.
"Hey, guys do you mind if we eat with all of you?" Asked Kaori happily, while Shizuku had a sorry look in Hajime's direction.
At this, the couple looked at Hajime subtly which he noticed, he then nodded at them with a tired expression. This caused Kaori to have a joyous smile, while Shizuku had a relieved look, but then they all heard the same annoying voice as before coming near them.
"Oh, do you mind if we can also be here?"
They all then looked and saw how both Kouki, and Ryutarou were walking toward them, much to Shirou's, Arcueid's, and Hajime's displeasure. Noticing this Shizuku intervened.
"You don't need to Kouki, you can eat with the others I insist."
"Nonsense we're all friends here so we should eat together. Right Ryutarou?" Said Kouki as he looked at his best friend.
"Hell yeah, we should!" Yelled Ryutarou like the fool he was.
Seeing how his friends were getting annoyed by what they were hearing, Hajime thought while having a tired look.
"Honestly they should get summoned to another world, after all, he has the cliché outlook of a hero, and Sakagami can be his follower for all I care."
After he said that a giant circle with arcane designs appeared on the ground something that he was shocked at, something that all of them shared. Including Shirou, and Arcueid since they did not what was happening because they know that there isn't any Magi in this world. So seeing confused them even more. However, they did not have any time to think since at that second there was a bright light that engulfed them.
And as the light faded the students and the teacher that was there were nowhere to be seen. But do not be discouraged for this marked a new story. One that involved the journey of The Demon King, The Moon Princess, and The Moon's Sword in another world.
Deep in a grand forest, where not many living creatures can go, we could see a mansion of great height on top of a mountain. Overseeing the grand land before it, as its presence represents the mystical aspect of this place, even though its owner considers it a mansion. In reality, it is not.
Its design is something taken out of fiction, this is so because its walls had many shapes and sizes that constantly changed. And yet anything from the inside will never be seen from the outside, even with the constant changing of the walls.
That is the purpose of the design of this home, multiple versions of the same walls yet completely different at the same time. For it represents the constant changing of worlds in the multiverse depending on one's choices. Since like a Kaleidoscope, there is an infinite amount of these worlds out there.
And in almost all of these worlds, one man is both feared and respected due to his power. For he has achieved the impossible which is to truly see and even interact with these worlds. A power that only he and his versions can achieve, and ironically one version of this man is the owner of this home.
As we enter his home we suddenly see him there reading a book, in front of the fireplace with a small smile on his face. But it was only for a moment as he then looked up and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Oh my, never thought I would see you all here."
He then closes the book and gives the reader a gentle smile as he speaks once again.
"I do know that some, or even most of you must have been surprised that I would speak to you all directly. However, I decided to do this merely because I needed to explain something about the story, and those that shall come, that you shall all read. And because I wanted to be the narrator of this particular story."
We now see him getting up from his chair and start walking towards a hallway filled with multiple pictures of different worlds. And surprisingly almost every single picture here involved a certain red-haired young man with golden eyes battling, or being with people who he should not have met at all.
"In almost every single world, that I and my counterparts have seen during the centuries that have passed. The grand majority of them involved a certain boy, who wanted to become a Hero of Justice. Hilarious for most who hear this for the first time, but for him, this is his most important dream after the fire that took away everything from him. And, there are worlds out there where he did accomplish his dream, either failed in his journey or became something else due to that dream of his."
We then see him passing through a library where multiple books are floating around, he then passed what seemed to be a room filled with paintings about scenes of different worlds.
"However, there are other worlds out there where he has either renounced, his dream or never had them in the first place. And in this particular story, it would be a version of him that choose the latter. As he decided to live with his loved ones and have a happy life with them. Now you all may wonder, how did that occur? Well, let me tell you."
He then passed a window where the moon shone brightly which allowed the forest to be seen clearly, making it look beautiful for anyone who saw it.
"I decided to let his father know the path that his son might take if he took up the dream that he once renounced. After learning this, he had a horrified look which I understood since any true father would do the same if they learned of their child's possible future. So with this knowledge, he asked me what he should do, and I answered that he should tell the child the truth. And when he heard what I said he was shocked which I found amusing, but I did not let him know that, as I explained my reasoning to him."
He was now arriving at a set of double doors, that slowly opened for him as he entered the room with no problem at all.
"The boy needed to know the truth, since then we can start altering his fate so that he can have a brighter future. When he heard my explanation, he immediately did as I said. This then leads to an interesting discussion between father and son about heroism. It lasted for an hour until I decided to intervene since the boy needed to see personally the fate of a certain Counter Guardian. And when I showed him his possible fate he at first tried to deny it, but I told him that what I showed him was the truth. At this admission from me, he had a lost look since his ideal has been shattered. However, before he could dive into a possible depression due to not knowing his purpose I told him to live."
Inside this room, there was nothing except a Kaleidoscope of colors surrounding everything, the old gentleman then walked into the center of the room while he continued his tale while looking directly at the readers.
"When he heard me, he gave me a confused look but I did not pay it any attention as I once again told him to live, to live for those who died, to live so that he can prevent his future, and to live to then learn how to appreciate life. After I said that he had a look of surprise, but this time unlike before he now had a small glimmer of life in his eyes which told me that the change is now occurring. After that day, he became a different person unlike many of his versions, while yes he did not have the dream of being a hero. However, he learned how to live and appreciate his life. And along the way, he met a certain granddaughter of mine that I might have introduced to him during his youth, and his dear older sister who did not meet until a few years later. Which then lead him in creating a family with them by his side. Now with that said and done you all must wondering now. Why I told his tale?"
The old gentleman then extended his arms like a certain mad priest.
"Well it is simply my readers, it is because his tale has not yet finished! For you see, there is a calamity coming to the multiverse and for that reason, I needed to send my family to a new world so that they can gain a new set of experiences there. Since it is important for our plan to work. And I am not the only one! Many versions of I, have either intervened as I did, or subtlety had a hand in intervening, for like I said it is for the sake of the Multiverse. Creating situations for him to meet, or be with people that he should not have a relationship of some sort albeit platonic, or romantic simply because it is part of a greater plan. So with this said I do hope that you all enjoy this tale and those that come. And even though not many of you would like it, it is for a greater purpose in the end. Thus I would say this, enjoy this first story of The Moon's Sword for this is a tale not many people could imagine seeing!"
With that, the room shone in a blinding light as then we were no longer in the gentleman's mansion. Because now we are looking at a Japanese mansion in the middle of the night as the residents of this home were asleep. But do not be discouraged for this home shall be the starting place of a tell never seen before.

Well hello there everyone. Sorry for basically being quiet for this past month real life has been a bit busy. But I'm back with new stories, that will be updated every Monday. And I also have some new announcements.
First let's talk about the elephant in the room, which is why I decided to pair Arcueid with Shirou. Well, the answer is fairly simple. I was curious. Yes, everyone, that was the reason.
I was curious about seeing a relationship between the Arcueid of Fate world, with our Hero of Justice since almost no one does this. And I wanted to bring something new to the table. For that reason why I decided to have Zelretch explain what he (I) did. So if you don't like this, I understand. But know this, I do respect Shiki Tohno's and Arcueid's love, and that is why I will not touch Tsukihime's world in that way at all.
Still back to what I was saying or more like what Zelretch said. This is part of a larger plot that I have in mind for creating, thus there will be many pairings, and characters that in some way that isn't romantically involved with Shirou, will be part of the Emiya family. An example of this that I have in mind is Shirou and his daughter in another world where he will meet the character that I have in mind that will be paired with him and will be the future mother of his daughter. And also many different or same worlds which we have seen before that I want to explore. But don't worry characters like Shiki Ryougi, Nero or Jeanne will not be paired with Shirou since I love or like who they are with in canon.
I would also like to announce that I have decided on remaking Anti-Hero of Remnant, since while I was thinking about the plot points. I realized that I can make something different here, but I need to remake it first. The rest I will explain when I release it.
Now with all that said I do hope that you all enjoy this unique story that I made.
