Fate/Inheritance

Amidst the pain I suddenly returned back to those days I started playing Fate/Stay Night… I remembered how the main character, Shirou Emiya described the pain when he practiced magecraft in the wrong way.

'It felt like inserting a f.u.c.k.i.n.g hot iron in my spine!' I cried out internally, if someone with supernatural sensitivity is watching, they would surely freak out in what is happening in my body. My magic circuits are f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y arranging themselves and the pain was nerve racking. The most applicable and scientifically example is my nerves are being forcefully rearranged.

But the most painful area that would had surely killed me countless times if I did not feel the pain of the demonic weapons of the instructor is where my magic circle lies, in the middle of my c.h.e.s.t.

My magic circuits detaching themselves from the magical circle while it glows brightly and released a huge amount of magical energy. Leaking further, the small cloud of magical energy slowly formed a circle enclosing the first circle. Amidst the nerve racking pain, I can sense that it is slowly subsiding with each pulse of magical energy that is becoming more and more refined.

After a few moments, the 2nd circle finally stabilized and a strong resonance suddenly took place from my first circle to the magical circuits in my body.

'Ahh~' I sighed and felt like a part of me was in the right place at that moment. When I thought it was over, I noticed that the two magic circle in me is still pulsing some of my new higher quality magical energy and a 3rd one is slowly forming again. Overjoyed, I observed and carefully tried to understand what is happening. Sadly, the 3rd circle did not fully solidify and remained in a slightly-misty form and my Magic Circuits slowly attached to it and the circles inside of it started to slowly rotate and nourished it with magical energy.

Sensing the new power, I gained I realized I am stuck half-way through the third-circle. So without a choice, I slowly stabilized my current stage by doing some minor adjustments.

Opening my eyes, I had just in time saw Yamada who is covered by black filth rushing out of the door.

'Hmmm seems the Eastern Type jobs have their own problems…' I mused while I heard the scream of the people outside. Then I suddenly smelled something nasty and noticed the place Yamada mostly do his meditation and saw a small pile of that sludge that was sticking to him.

"Ahhh crap that bastard… got no choice then…" I said out loud and opened the window so the room will get ventilated. Ignoring the startled cries when I opened it, I started chanting a spell in elvish.

[Water elementals, lend me thy strength!] With my words, countless small presences suddenly appeared around me. Blue floating lights suddenly danced around me and I noticed that the elementals I can now call out had slightly increased.

[Oh~ it's the boy blessed by the fae~] [Can we approach him?...] Small playful voices suddenly entered my ears and I laughed softly. Speaking again, I continued the spell but in a more conversational way.

[Please create a small ball of water~] With those words as if competing from each other, they released a subtler glow and created a ball of water the size of a basketball.

'Hmm seems my nature magic had become stronger…' I mused silently and controlled the ball alongside their guidance. Cleaning all the filth in the floor like a w*ter bender by manipulating it to change shape.

With the now dirty water, I commanded it to float outside while I asked the water elementals to back off a bit and I wrote a Sowilo rune in the air and a burst of flames suddenly engulfed the water and evaporating it away.

'When will I start learning Primeval Runes aniki~' I complained to Lancer who had now returned to his laidback hobby, that is fishing…

[As I said, Sishou will be the one that will teach you… oh!! This fish is a feisty one!] He said while sitting in a raft, the guy fell in love with the sea where the instructor threw us somewhere that he once asked to borrow some 'memories' from the instructor alongside the fish living in the area so he can copy the place and fish there.

Sighing at the guy who acts like a retired old man… I checked my status and found a lot of changes.

A skill that was developed to avoid being hit by 'that' Mikado William can perceive attacks that will surely 'kill him' or so he interprets… this skill will not affect any daily activity unless his sixth sense is disturbed so attacks pertaining to 'attacks that will not kill him' will not activate this skill.]

Natural Body(False) – Rank C (new!) – [Acquiring a perfect body in life through a 'fateful encounter'. This skill was bestowed to Mikado William after having a perfect baptism by a certain type of object.

Suspicious Medicines – Rank A+ (new!) – [Highly effective drugs to the point of being scary. The Mystic Code Ruby with a special collaboration of a suspicious instructor from an evil organization increased this skill's rank.

Created by Mikado William in the middle of a spiteful bout of jealousy and anger, this technique strikes a fatal blow that 'always' pierces the opponent's crotch and ruins their ability to reproduce life. If employed using the famous red barbed spear owned by both Scáthach and Cú Chulainn this Noble Phantasm will raise to B rank and can be invoked by its True Name that will reverses the laws of casualty itself along the effect of totally ruining the enemy and hereby killing them due to the innate curse of the spear.

Ruby's Comment: "Oh~!! You can now start your Ascension Trial William-kun~"

"…" Looking at my status I have a lot of things that I want to retort especially 'that' Noble Phantasm. But I noticed how my status is now slightly arranged differently alongside a different title from my Unique skill was changed to Personal Skill so I voiced it out to the two who might know what is going on.

[Oh~ it's because your state of existence is slowly shifting William-kun~] Ruby cheerfuly said but…

"My state of existence?" I asked confusedly…

[Yes, William-sama, a being's state of existence is mostly tied to their 'current' home world and when they die and return to the ROOT they, as a 'clean slate' will be sent to another world to be born again. Your situation is slightly special for being summoned and also your abilities unique from another world so if we set an example… it will be like you who have a dual citizenship from your 'Earth' and here in 'Terradesia' is slowly getting his citizenship approval to the familiar world you knew as the 'Nasuverse'.] With Sapphire's words, I understood what she and Ruby meant.

"So basically us travelling to those different worlds by Zelretch is like having a business trip so I can only stay temporarily, while my 'state of existence' is tied to my home world and here is considered my 'home countries' but because my 'very essence' is becoming more and more nearer to the inhabitants in the world of Nasuverse I can get another 'citizenship' but won't that remove my ties to this and my original world if my essence had totally turned into that of a being from the Nasuverse?" I voiced that out.

[No, because you who is being thrown here and there by Kaleidoscope alongside your 'closeness' to the ROOT will instead make you a being free from the constraints of being tied to a 'home world' William-sama.] Sapphire said something outrageos there… I twitched my eyebrow at the double meaning Sapphire said and instead thinked of other various ideas.

Click.

Hm? I sensed Yamada returning and just in time, the door swung and a refreshed Yamada appeared. Ignoring his ruddy and smoother skin I used my now increased sensitivity to aura and noticed that the guy is already in the Early State of the Third Stage of his Cultivation.

Nodding at him he sat in front of me and when we had a quick eye contact we both noticed how damn tired we actually look. His face suddenly overlapped with that younger version of his in that twisted world and I understood what he came here for.

""Let's delay leaving for a day!"" We said together. That stressful yet fulfilling year in a evil organization had actually sapped our mental strength unknowingly and made us a bit stressed. So let's delay our travel for a bit shall we~!
