Academy City. A land in which no god resides, everyone believes in the logic of science. Academy City is also home to a few million people, including Espers, Teachers and Deliquents alike. On this fateful night, a certain Level Zero Esper is running. From what you may ask? Well, let's take a look.
"Dammit dammit dammit, this is just my luck isn't it!" A boy named Kamijou Touma relents over his terrible luck. He's currently being chased by what could only be described as a magician, and he's really selling the look. Clad in black, and chains, wearing an oni mask, he runs behind Kamijou, throwing balls of unholy flames at him. Continuing on, Kamijou runs until he hears and sees something strange. A red streak, probably an arrow, runs right through the magician's head, absolutely destroying their cranium. Kamijou'd rather not remember the sight, or describe it.

"You've gotta be kidding me! Now there's a snip-" I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around to see a very pretty girl, black hair done in pigtails, a red blazer over a white button up shirt, with a standard skirt and thigh high combination, and her eyes, they're a mesmerizing red. "Cool your jets," the mysterious girl says, "We're not here to harm you, in fact Emiya was just helping." A man, tanned skin, tall with white hair and grey eyes, drops down behind me. He begins to speak. "I'm Emiya Shirou, the girl behind you is Tohsaka Rin," he flashes me a smile. "We're mages, and we just saved your life as well, Imagine Breaker."
I'm beginning to think I'm going to have hell of a long night.
Not too long after, we rendezvous at my home, against my better judgement. I'm gonna get some answers though, I'd much prefer that than being grilled. Although, it's a bit of a problem when Index and Othinus are both awake at this hour. Surprisingly though, Index is rather understanding of the situation. She sits down right next to me, and waits. So now I begin with my first question, the elephant in the room. "How do you know who I am?" Emiya fills in with his response, "There are many reasons why, a few of them being your right arm, pocket terrorist, you ending world war III, being hunted down by several governments to save said pocket terrorist and survive, the library of grimoires sitting next to you, y'know the common ones." I can feel Tohsaka staring into my soul, sort of. My arm is the point of interest here. Emiya continues, "However our reasons for being here is quite simple. What do you know about heroic spirits?"
Ooh I know this one, Othinus drilled me with this type of stuff earlier after I made an offhand comment about King Arthur probably being a girl because of a discussion Tsuchimikado and I had. "In short, they're historically significant people summoned into existence, right?" Emiya nods. Othinus cuts into the conversation quickly, "Get to the point, what exactly do you require at this moment?" Emiya makes a slightly bewildered face and continues with what he was saying "Right, as I was saying, a heroic spirit has been cursed or rather, corrupted by the holy grail or more accurately what's within the grail, Angra Mainyu." And here is where my brain checks out. What's an angry manju, what the FUCK is a holy grail and why do I feel like I'm supposed to know this truly confusing information? "Hold on a moment," I interrupt, "this Kamijou needs more context, please and thank you."
Tohsaka finally speaks, "Then let's start from the beginning, starting with the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, the fifth one that is." I can begin to feel my brain melting before she even gets in depth, I'm in for a long night.
And long night it was, I don't think I've ever had so much information in my head since, Sargasso probably, at least that's what it feels like. Loads upon loads of things, like holy grails, mage families, lots of that stuff. Also apparently an albino murder loli? Didn't know how that was important until they started explaining Einzberns. Mages are really scary is what I do have to say, though that was an established fact. Then they really got into the gritty of it when they started explaining all the wacky shit that happened, including but not limited to, immortal juggernaut, witches absorbing life force, blue spandex wearing men dying, the wibbly wobbly timey wimey-ness of servants and the wacky hijinks of a person with seaweed for hair. Clearly, this is important for whatever they need me for. I've really gotten myself into quite, and I mean quite the rabbit hole here.
A/N, I've taken inspiration from Animan10 and ArmoredCoreNineBall respectively, they are pretty cool dudes, expect references to their works. Also yes this might turn out to be harem, possibly, if I feel like it.
