Shirou raised an eyebrow. "Your book? I think there's been a mistake. This is my friend's book."
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "There's no mistake. This is my book."
After a glance at her determined face, he looked back at the book and asked, "Do you know what language this is writt...

Day after day passed and the time finally arrived at Saturday, April 10th, 1994.
To Shirou, this was a particularly special day. On this day, his school's sports day was being held. It was also the day the Forest of Einnashe attacked Fuyuki, Wallacia opened the Root, and he...had embarked o...

After dinner, he went out to play with Sakura. She hopped happily ahead, glancing back at him with a smile. But his mind was swirling with ideas on how to escape this dream.
They passed by the seaside park near the pier warehouse - the first battle site of the Holy Grail War. But with the w...

Scathach stopped abruptly in her tracks, pulling Shirou to a halt with her hand. He turned to her curiously. "What's wrong, Shishou?"
Gracefully squatting down, she gazed into his eyes. "Something on your mind, Shirou?"
"Huh?" Had she seen right through him? He smiled lightly. "It's n...

Glancing down at his own small, tender hand, Shirou frowned. He didn't remember when he had fallen asleep or how, but there was no doubt that he was asleep and had fallen into that strange dream again.
"If you're well rested, get up and continue training, Shirou," Scathach said with a gentl...

Shirou fell silent, thinking. He had first been summoned to Fuyuki, then found himself in this snowy land. But from Adam's description, it seemed his coordinates hadn't changed. The scene Adam described didn't match the wintry landscapes of Midgard either. Could he have been summoned on another C...

He now noticed that Kiara's hands, legs and neck were all shackled by the icy iron chains. Clearly, she was the one chained to the wall.

"You ate it...? You actually ate it...?" She was completely stunned.

As the rainbow bridge gradually rose, Shirou's sight changed as well. Looking down from the great height, one could see all of Midgard sprawled out below - an endless expanse of pure white snow, with no other colors in sight, as if having stepped back in time to a prehistoric ice age.

Shirou's idea to use [Mortal Awakening] to destroy Angra Mainyu and the black mud had been a spur-of-the-moment thought. He hadn't expected it to actually work.

Since Irisviel was bound to Einzbern Castle early on, the black mud only ravaged the castle and surrounding forest, without causing any other damage or casualties - except for Shirou, who was burnt all over by it.

Shirou revealed a smile. Although he had intruded midway into this bizarre dream, he had deduced why Angra Mainyu would manifest using Irisviel's body based on bits of information.

Angra Mainyu caught up to Shirou but didn't kill him. Instead, she laughed and said, "I'm going to remake this world. As the victor of the Holy Grail War, I'll give you a way out. Leave Fuyuki and I'll spare you."
"What about Scathach?" Shirou asked.
"She'll become fertilizer to remak...

Shirou wasn't sure how he'd entered this bizarre dream, or how to leave it. But going along with it might give him some clues. So he followed the plan in this strange dreamscape.

Staring into those bright wine-red eyes, he noticed something. The flame he usually saw in his eyes was gone.

Night fell.
Thrud and the other Valkyries had no need for sleep, but Shirou was different. Though his current body was that of a Servant and could no longer be called human, he still kept to human routines out of habit. Sleep especially. After dying over twenty times from overwork, he had b...

One after another, massive stones shot into the sky, then streaked down like meteors toward the Jotunheimr Gate, trying to smash through to the interior. However, they were destroyed by the primordial runes glowing in the air.

Setting out from Village 23, Shirou and the others headed north, entering the iron forest.
Snow fell from the sky, covering the earth in a ghastly white blanket. Tall steel trees towered in layers, their iron leaves overlapping, blocking out the sunlight and casting an ominous shadow.
