I've been reading lots of Fate stories recently and I just caught up to the latest chapters of The Gamer Webtoon after not seeing it for almost a year now. So, I figured, "why not write my own story?" Keep in mind, I'm not much of a writer. I'm mostly writing this for fun. This story will be a SI, if that displeases any of you, then don't read. For those of you who are willing to give this story a chance, thank you. I can't promise high quality stuff like some other authors but I'll do my best.


Chapter 1

I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place.I was standing on a large circular platform, that seemed to be made of illuminating stained-glass. The thing I found most surreal was an image of myself, apparently sleeping on the stained-glass.

"Well, this looks familiar." I said, incredulously. This place I found myself in resembled the Dive to the Heart from the Kingdom Hearts series.. The station was mostly red, the orbs next to the sleeping image of me contained what looked like sigils of a dragon head. The orbs that that went around the station had sword- like symbols. A green pasture with trees also decorated the bottom part of the station.

Suddenly a menu screen popped up in front of me, which startled me a little.

[Congratulations, you've been chosen to be one of the lucky few in the Omniverse to receive the title and powers of The Gamer!]

Okay, this is exciting! I said, with a smile on my face. I really love that Webtoon.

[We'll start the tutorial. First, it is not necessary to vocalize your abilities or touch the Window. You can just think it. Go ahead, try it out.]

'Menu.' I thought.

"Awesome, looks like I have a pretty wide selection." I said, looking at the various options.

[Good, now check your stats.]

'Stats.' I thought.

I nodded."I'm only Level One. Why am I not surprised?"

[I should explain how your stats work. I'm sure you've figured it out already but I have to be sure. HP stands for Hit Points, EP stands for Energy Points. I'm sure you already know what HP is so, I won't bother explaining that.]

[Now EP is, of course, the energy you have. You need EP to utilize most skills. Depending on what skills you use, your energy can take the form of Ki, Magic, Psychic Energy or whatever type of energy you want.]

"So, the skills I use will determine the type of energy." I said. Basically if I use a ki skill, I'll use ki energy or If I use a magic skill, I'll use magic energy. Wow, If I play my cards right I'll be able to learn almost every ability out there.

[Strength is your physical strength and determines how much damage your physical attacks inflict.]

[Durability is your physical durability. The higher your durability is, the less physical damage you take from enemies.]

[Speed determines how fast you are.]

[Boosting your intelligence increases the damage done by energy attacks as well as make you smarter.]

[Resistance deals with your energy resistance. You'll be be to tank energy attacks as you increase this stat. You'll also be able to resist status effects.]

[Finally, luck determines how often good things happen to you in battle or in everyday life. This pretty much covers your stats. Let's move on to skills. Open your Skills menu.]

'Skills." I thought

"I already have five skills, good!" I was expecting Gamer's Mind and Body but not the other three. I thought I would acquire them later on.

[I take it you already know what these skills are. Good. As you already know you'll learn new skills by performing special actions or by obtaining Skill Books. You can also learn skills in the Skill Shop tab. You can purchase them with currency you earn on your journey.]

"A Skill Shop? I'll have to check that out later."

[Now I think that covers the basics. I believe everything else is self-explanatory. if you ever need assistance, use the Help tab, So, as for the world you're now being sent to: It's the world of Fate/Grand Order.]

"Fate/Grand Order? To be honest I was hoping to get sent to another world but it's okay, I guess." I said sounding a bit disappointed. It wasn't that I hated the Fate series, in fact I quite liked it. I knew a great deal about the Nasuverse after all and I've been playing Fate/Grand Order ever since it got released in the U.S. It's just not my most favorite verse on the count that I tend to dislike most of the protagonists due to either having misguided ideals or lacking a personality and how convoluted the lore is.

[Before I send you on your way, you'll need to become a Master and gain a Servant of your own. The Servant will be chosen at random.]

"Right now? I wonder what Servant I'm gonna get?!" I said, sounding excited. I didn't think I'd be getting a Servant right away. At least not until I arrived in Chaldea assuming that's where I get dropped off at. I hope the Servant I end up getting will be easy to work with. I don't think I could handle a Berserker right off the bat, Hopefully, I'll get a Saber, a Lancer, or an Archer. The other three classes would be fine, too.

[The summoning will now commence. Oh, and you should brace yourself.]

"Brace mysel-" Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on the back of my left hand. it felt like it was being branded by hot iron."Ugh! God that hurts!" I grunted in pain. Just as the pain came, it disappeared just as fast. Was it due to the Gamer's Body? I stared at the command spells that now marked my hand.

The marks seemed to resemble a dragon head. The same sigil that was on my "station." The first mark appeared to be a dragons snout. The second and largest mark looked like a dragons's face decorated with what looked liked spikes and horns. The smallest and final mark was a diamond shaped gemstone in the center of the dragon forehead.

"I've never been a tattoo guy but this looks good." I said, admiring the design of my new command spells.

a pillar of blinding light flashed before me. I used my arm to shield my eyes. The light dissipated, I lowered my arm and looked at the figure that now stood in front of me. The person in question was female, who I recognized immediately. Golden-blond hair, brilliant emerald eyes. She was wearing a white outfit, resembling a wedding dress. I couldn't help but stare. This woman's beauty was breathtaking.

She looked at me with the most beautiful, sincere smile I've ever seen."Servant Saber. Nero Claudius. Umu...I have arrived in response to your call! Call me Bride Saber or Nero Bride! I ask of you, are you my Master?"

"Yes, I am. My name's Brian Baxter." I said, a smile coming to my face. I couldn't believe it, of all the Servants I could've gotten, I landed Nero Claudius! The bride version too, at that! Needless to say I hit the jackpot.

[I see you're satisfied with your Servant. You should be all set. Good luck.]

Saber walked towards me and held out her hand."Master, our journey awaits."

I smiled."Yeah." I grabbed Nero's hand and when I did, my vision vanished in a flash of white light.
