Hey, Fan fiction people this is my first time writing a story and I'm going to write an interesting idea of Fate Story. It would be a college student who is not a mage nor knows any Mages and Holy Grail War. He found the Holy Grail that was on his Grandpa's box and found that it summons Heroic Spirits that are from legends and myths. This would not be good for him. Disclaimer: I don't own any fate/stay night. I do know my grammar is bad. No need to rub it in my face and I apologize that my story is not very good. It's just an idea that was in my head for awhile.
Update to 7/6/2016: I changed the timeline for this chapter and improved. It has make sense now and has more meats to the bone of this chapter now
There was a realm utterly alien to the trappings of the mortal coil. Like the Fields of Elysium, like Valhalla, it was the world where only the brave and the bold resided. It was home to champions of men, to warriors of peerless skill, to heroes. This was the Throne of Heroes, inhabited by those that have come before, those that would inspire the countless that had yet to come.
They are called Heroic Spirits (Legendary Souls) who achieved great deeds in life and become objects of worship after their deaths. A legend who has been venerated enough by humanity that it would be forever immortalized throughout time and history.
However what is a Hero?
Are they suppose to be a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, and noble qualities. A person who has heroic qualities and performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal
No, the definition of what is a hero really is
Has because broad and distorted as stories tell how heroic they are which some are not what they expected to be.
The Throne of Heroes does not think of 'heroes' in the same sense as modern day definition.
The Throne of Heroes looks at the Greek definition of the word 'heroes' A hero is just someone who did things in a much grander way than humanity is usually used to.
Many legend and myths, 'the hero' of the story would accomplish many great feats, but would also commit acts of depravity for the greater good or for it own personal profit and pleasure which even the ruthless and heartless are the heroes of their own tales.
And those ruthless and heartless types are called Anti-Heroes if Hero can live up for their fame then infamy would work as well.
They are people who do not portrayal or lack any idealism, courage, or morality. These individuals possess dark personality traits such as disagreeableness, dishonesty, and aggressiveness. An opposite of most of the traditional attributes of a hero. They are different from proper heroes who have earned their titles properly, they were forced and cursed into this Throne because their sad and cruel fate. They were reviled, hated, cursed and sacrifice by the people but at the same time saved people with an evil acts or intents, therefore, bringing a positive result, not a negative one which became saviors who are worshiped and cursed in equal scale.
While proper heroes are created from respect and gratitude, anti-heroes are created from fear and ungratefulness. Proper heroes have both the physical and moral capabilities to do heroic deeds while antiheroes almost or never use physical and moral capabilities to do heroic deeds.
Wherever there are man and woman, there are heroes, anti-heroes, anti-villains, villains, nameless wraiths and anonymous counter-guardians. The Throne hold them all, it accepted all and rejected none of them
The Greater Grail was a powerful artifact, created two centuries ago by three magus families Einsbern, Makiri, and TÅsaka for their quest to reach the place of God Akasha, the records of the beginning and the end of all things that creates everything in this world and to recover the Third Magic. To achieve this, they needed a great source of power. The Holy Grail was that source and Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern became the core of the Greater Grail. By summoning seven heroes to fight, the last one standing who had completed the dark and bloody ritual would be granted one omnipotent wish. That wish was the reason for the Holy Grail War. That was a Magus duty and is the dearest wish of all Magi, which was the entire reason they spent their years to do. Many believe that the number of souls of the servants killed in the war to make a wish are six, but its true purpose required seven servants to return to the root as a way to form a hole directly to the Akasha. The wishes of the servants were never meant to be fulfilled and were just sacrificial pawns for them.
The First Grail took place around 1800. It was not even a war at all as it was only meant to be a ritual for the three families to reach Akasha. It took around ten years to gather the necessary energy to manifest the Grail. The Three Families that Holy Grail could only grant the wish of one person. As soon as that truth was known, the bonds of cooperation were washed in blood by conflicts. Even though they had the same goals, their opinions on how to reach them were different from each other. Soon, this unforeseen event caused them to break off their alliance. They all agreed to proceed with the system and meant to create the Grail, but actually became enemies when it was summoned.
Due to it requiring seven Heroic Spirits to achieve the ritual and seven Masters to summon them, the three families sent envoys of four outside of the Magi with messages that said, "Join the Holy Grail War to obtain your wish and become Masters." This caused an internal quarrel between each other that were not major conflicts in the end. It was more or less Holy Grail War beta.
The Second Holy Grail War was held around the 1860s, which formally took on the name of the "Holy Grail War." They had no rules for the Masters and their servants to follow, and it became a murder spree that nobody even survived. This caused the Three Families to create more precise rules and brought a third party, similar to the Church, whose job was to watch over any claim of the Holy Grail. The Church sent a supervisor to act as a mediator between the Church and the Mage's Association to keep it from falling into the wrong hands and if the Holy Grail turned out to be an actual Holy Relic then the Church would bypass the cease-fire agreement and plunder it out of the hands of the Magi.
The Third Holy Grail War took place in the 1930s before World War 2. Now let us speak of the Third Holy Grail War event. One of Three Magus Families, the Einzberns, was a bloodline family that had suffered a disastrous defeat in the early stages of the Second Holy Grail War. Tired of losing out on reclaiming the Third Magic, they chose to summon a Ruler class Servant to be an impartial authority, whose real identity was Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, the teenage leader of the Shimabara Rebellion. The summoned Amakusa Shirou was not outstanding in combat, nor proficient in Magecraft, but he continued to win and survived the war. As the third war drew to a close, an unexpected event occurred. One participant of the war was Daric Prestone Yggdmillennia, the Head of the Yggdmillennia clan. He discovered the chance of the Greater Grail and borrowed the power of the military of Nazi Germany with skillful words to operate to seize it. With the power of the military behind him, he was able to plunder it and caused a lot of casualties to the exhausted Three Magus Families. However, he was heavily wounded in the fight against the Ruler who died last. The Greater Grail, forged by the combined labor of all three great families, was plundered by the Nazis.
Now with the Greater Grail in their hands, surely Nazi Germany would be able to rule the world as they saw fit. As it was being transported to Germany, Daric's plan was to betray Nazi and mislead the details about the Grail and disappear without a trace. Before he could do that, the cargo ship that he was on blew up and caused chaos between the Nazis and Mage. A few hours later, the ship sank, along with many casualties. Daric's body was found burned to a crisp. A few years later, the Mage's Association was attacked by Ghouls, Living Dead, and Vampires led by the Dead Apostles, who sensed their positions were weakening. There were major casualties on both sides, even with the help from the Holy Church. During the battle, there was a report of missing valuable catalysts, secret blueprints of different family members, and important documents.
The Greater Grail disappeared like a mist, the dream of the three great families dissolved. Only a few members still knew what it was and spent years looking for it, hoping the Grail was still out there, waiting to be found. The years went by until even the youth became elderly.
But the story doesn't end there. It only changed its location throughout different multiverses and landed on a separate universe of Earth. In that world, the Holy Grail was dismantled after the Fifth Holy Grail War.
In this universe, the Third Holy Grail War continue the war and the Grail was not taken away by military of Nazi Germany or Daric Prestone Yggdmillennia. But one thing change from this war is one different servant and new class Avenger, which replaced the Berserker-class which this servant was summoned by Einzberns family who thought they could control it, Angra Mainyu a Persian god of darkness that would be a living calamity able to slaughter all the opponents with ease but they quickly found out that their interpretation of Avenger was wrong, that he was a weak Servant without any abilities
He was quickly killed and was trapped in the wish-granting spiritual Holy Grail. Which cause a black miracle, this person was turned into a living wish by his own village in order to contain all the evils of the world and absolve themselves of sin. The power of the Grail as a wish granter received the wishes that humanity had placed on Angra Mainyu and turns him into literally all the world's evils which corrupted the Holy Grail into a looming fifty-meter pillar of a slick mass of inky black tissue and taken on an almost organic sheen with something massive squirming inside like a woman giving birth and creating life.
Then the Fourth Holy Grail War occurred. Everything seemed normal at first but the corruption caused by Angra Mainyu took effect, allowing for the summoning of improper Servant who summon an immense, Lovecraftian beast which causes the war to be eventually postponed due to the duo's rampage. There was also the death of the supervisor from the Holy Church who was immediately shot when agrees to reward one of the Masters a Command Seal and to ensure that no other Masters can get one. To add one more of rub salt in the wound and make the difficult situation even worse. The Holy Grail was destroyed and cause a black ooze pours down from the sky rapidly floods the city, destroying everything it touches and engulfing an Archer class. In the aftermath of the destruction of the Grail, a certain man who believed in his ideals more than anyone else, and was driven to despair ending up saving a young boy, happy to see him still alive which he later adopted the boy as a son.
This certain man trying to demolish the ritual as of the proper scheduled time of the Fifth Heaven's Feel by arranging for the physical collapse of the Great Grail System before the originally estimated date. But unfortunate the Holy Grail decided to speed up the next war with some unused mana inside of it and cause 60 years to only 10 years gap
Soon the Fifth Holy Grail War soon start once more. Now, this time, there were various possible scenarios in this war but in the end, someone or somebody emerged as the victor and help in destroying the Grail rather than activating it. The manifestation of Angra Mainyu seeking to grant a wish entangled someone else which causes a time loop that lasts four days but the normal boy in the ancient middle east who was labeled as being Angra Mainyu eventually decides to end the loop after realizing all the trouble he has caused and ends the loop for good so that his new friends and allies can live out whatever life they had made in this timeline
Soon came the Dismantlement of the Holy Grail as Lord El-Melloi II, a previous Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War, arrived in Fuyuki with Rin Tohsaka to set out to completely dismantle the Great Grail. This development was against the Mage's Association's plan of reestablishing it, so the two sides were opposed. It caused great turmoil of the same magnitude as a Holy Grail War, but the end result was the Greater Grail's dismantlement. This caused a complete conclusion for the Holy Grail Wars of Fuyuki and which ended the Holy Grail War once and for all.
Or was it?
This new Holy Grail that appears in this world was now a literal cup, which appeared out of nowhere inside a box filled with other catalysts. The new Holy Grail was still gathering energy around it while it was being carried by an average college student who was unaware of it, moving back to his grandfather's home. He was 5'10 with black to brown standard short-cut hair and deep blue eyes. He wasn't on the skinny side, but also not on the stout side. He had brown skin because he spent quite some time sunbathing due to his great amount of free time. His go-to outfit was blue jeans and a t-shirt. A good-natured young man who worked hard enough to graduate from college, too bad that an event was going to ruin his life, or make him the most wanted man in the whole world.
Because he had no idea that he held the most dangerous thing, that would make the world a better place or destroy the whole world in a fire of death. It now rests on an average person whose life would change forever and would find that his house was going to be full of freeloaders who were going to murder his bank account every day if they expect this much all of the time.
This is either a great good fortune or a disaster in the making. This poor boy would get skewered and get kill soon or later.
