A few minutes earlier, Yuu had hauled himself up the rocky slope toward the Einzbern forest, scrambling over loose stones and dead branches until he found a decent vantage point.
Nothingness ran through his body like a constant electrical current, automatically canceling out anything that t...

Both Emiya and Diarmuid went dead still.
"...A warhorse..."
The beast was a monster of steel and flesh. Moonlight slid over its white coat, every muscle sharp beneath armor thick enough to shrug off a tank round. Its hooves burned, leaving faint trails of mana with every...
2025-08-18 02:06:32 +0000 UTC View PostDawn spread soft pink light across the eastern sky.
Since arriving in Fuyuki, Diarmuid had been making himself known, walking the city openly with both swords strapped to his back. He wanted a fight, and he wasn't hiding it.
But so far, nothing. No other Servants had taken the bait. 2025-08-17 01:28:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Moonlight spilled across the land like liquid silver, washing everything in pale sheen.
The city kept pushing forward with its relentless march of progress, but this corner of the world had been left in the dust. Here, far from the bright lights and busy streets of downtown Shinto, an old f...
2025-08-16 02:35:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe summoning had gone smoothly, and Waver had genuinely hoped to end the day riding high on his success. For once, something had actually worked out according to plan.
But—

In the sharp winter wind of Shinto's civic park, Waver sat hunched ...
2025-08-16 02:34:58 +0000 UTC View PostYuu wore the Night Veil, and to any observer—even a first-rate magus—he appeared utterly ordinary. Perfect camouflage, though it came with the annoying side effect of blocking his own magical senses. But that's what he had Serenity for anyway.

2025-08-15 01:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostGetting every Servant in the War to willingly let him record their Saint Graph was about as likely as world peace breaking out tomorrow. The second method came with its own headaches. If a Servant died and he wasn't there to record it, the soul fragments would slip straight into the Lesser Grail ...

2025-08-14 07:09:56 +0000 UTC View PostThey were talking casually when Riddell suddenly perked up with excitement. She obviously had some juicy gossip to share. "Oh, wait—I just remembered something absolutely hilarious that happened yesterday. Our dear Lord El-Melloi had one of his precious relics stolen by his own student. Ha!" 2025-08-13 06:24:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Yuu stared at the circuit patterns carved into the rock face and felt a headache coming on. "Well, this is going to be the highlight of my week."
The magical array was considerably more complex than anything he'd encountered in his textbooks, which was saying something since Clock Tower cou...

She kept herself exactly one street behind, a shadow among shadows.

Dead again.

Her nails, her muscles, every fluid in her body. The woman who b...

"You don't need to apologize for that." His tone softened. "Look at me, Iri. You're my p...

2025-08-06 01:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostManaka had gone overboard. The stack of textbooks and workbooks on Sakura’s desk looked like something out of a cram school horror story. If she actually finished them all, she could probably skip straight past elementary school without blinking.
Still, Manaka was patient. She went over m...
