My name is Takeuchi Akira. I'm an ordinary girl, and for the first twenty-seven years of my life, I lived an ordinary life.
Then one day, after work, three lines of runes suddenly appeared on the back of my hand.
What is this?
My childhood friend and most important bestie, Ritsuka Fujimaru, told me that they were called Command Spells.
I'd been chosen as a Master in the "Holy Grail War."
But in this strange war that shouldn't even exist, there weren't any Heroic Spirits in the entire Throne of Heroes?!
With Ritsuka's help, we decided to cast a wide net and see what happened.
So, that day, the summoning circle lit up, and the gears of fate began to turn...
·
"Archer, Shinzen Akira, an utterly ordinary Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer. Hello, Master."
"Caster, Gojo Akira. Is the young lady not here... Ah, hello, Master."
"I'm Shinzen Akira, and my class is Saber. Are you my Master? Oh, right, here's the Kusanagi Sword. Do you want it?"
·
Ritsuka and I looked at the three Heroic Spirits who'd bounced out of the summoning circle, all with the same face as me, and fell silent.
Why were the Heroic Spirits answering my summons all me?!
TIP:
○ Repeating this: the main story is in third person! As usual, the writing will probably jump around, with plenty of flashbacks, flash-forwards, and shifts in perspective.
○ There is no Holy Grail War, and the Servants didn't come from the Throne of Heroes. It's just everyday life.
○ The Servants are all Akira from parallel worlds. There are more than the three in the blurb. For the specific setup, see the main story and extras of Six-Eyed Young Lady Wants Me to Confess, in my author page, but it's not important. This is an IF story, imagining what might happen if Akira's mom really did restart the timeline. But that's not important either.
○ I don't know if you'll understand this without reading my last book... But the previous book's setting feels pretty niche... Whatever, I'll write it first and worry later (brain abandoned).
○ Ritsuka and Akira-chan will be close! Ritsuka will have lots of scenes helping Akira-chan as her senior!
○ Since this is a crossover with FGO, just pretend all the curses died out and don't let them show up and act crazy (murmurs).
○ This takes place in the timeline where Ritsuka successfully saved the world and everything is over! There'll be a party with all the Servants from Chaldea! The doctor and the A-Team will be brought back! Everyone gets along!
○ I play FGO, but I haven't read all of the Type-Moon material, and I don't fully understand the lore. I'll look things up, make stuff up, and write as I go. If you spot a bug, mention it in the comments and I'll see if I can fix it. If I can't, just consider it an original setting (palms together). Anyway, that's not the main point (hehe).
○ A short story where friendship and romance run in parallel. Expected to be under 200,000 words. If it goes over... I don't know what I'll do (looks away).
○ The start date is still a long way off (though I'm already writing the blurb and rough outline). It's still far down the plan (really far, since I came up with this on a whim while gaming).
