Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 1: First Kiss (Newbies please read! Please vote!)
1. First time reading (This book is about dice. The story content uses AI dice program to judge and compare numerical values to randomly advance the story to a certain extent. It has a slightly high math threshold for readers and requires proficiency in math of '1+1=2' and '2＞1'. New readers are strongly advised not to skip the first chapter and not to skip the dice rules in parentheses. In fact, this book has such a high threshold and is still so popular, which means that after understanding the rules, this type of writing is very interesting and sticky. It is recommended to give it a try. Of course, if you are really not interested, just quit, because this is not your problem, but my problem. Dice writing itself is also a very niche genre, and it is normal to feel uncomfortable. This is my problem, not the reader's problem. I am very sorry)
The atmosphere burned, the cities melted, and the sludge gave off a dizzying stench.

Everything around is taking firm steps towards the abyss of destruction.

The city was destroyed, humans turned into charcoal, and the city of steel and concrete turned into ruins. Faint cries for help could be heard coming from it.

The boy dragged his heavy body, wandering aimlessly, dragged by the instinct of survival on this scroll of hell.

The short orange hair was bathed in a layer of dark red of death.

Where to go?

do not know.

He just walked forward, and kept dragging the heaviness in his thighs. It was obvious that no matter how hard he struggled to move, he could not survive in such a place on his own. He could only hope for salvation by a miracle, but the instinct for survival silently urged him in his eardrums.

This is the city center of the new town area of Fuyuki City.

Shirou had no idea what was going on.

A dark hole appeared in the sky, and flames poured out from it like a waterfall, destroying everything.

Then, he was going to die.

His mind was in a turmoil, and he couldn't even remember his full name for a moment. He didn't remember his identity or family, and he didn't know why he came to this place today and was caught up in this unfortunate disaster.

After struggling, trying his best, yet in vain, and dragging his broken body for only twenty meters, the boy collapsed.

Will he die?

Such a strange thought emerged in the boy's mind.

No. The boy named Shirou subconsciously corrected the mistake in his strange idea: it should not be "he will die" but "I will die".

There is no way this child could survive on his own.

We can only hope for a miracle.

Only a miracle can save this boy -

".?"

The boy was stunned, but his dry lips prevented him from accurately saying the onomatopoeia that expressed such emotion.

He saw something incredible.

Something that seemed extremely abrupt, abnormal, and out of place in the hellish environment. From a rational point of view, it could only be explained as "the boy inhaled too much toxic gas and had hallucinations."

In midair, right in the center of the boy's vision, rows of 'words' appeared abruptly.

The cold text seemed to have nothing to do with the miracle that could save the boy, but more like a 'record' that 'describes what is happening'.

What kind of miracle is this? Or is it some kind of supernatural power that was awakened by chance?
The written record contained the following content:

[What kind of miracle is this? Or is it some kind of supernatural power that was awakened by chance? ]

[At least for now, the answer to this question cannot be pursued, and there is no need to pursue it now]

[The protagonist of this recorded story is confirmed to be: Shirou]

[As the chosen protagonist, Shirou has gained the power to "see the records of how the story will develop with Shirou as the center."]

Shirou couldn't understand whether these words were trying to explain something to him. But it was obvious that the mysterious existence that output these words to Shirou didn't care whether the dying boy could understand them or not, but just continued to "record" them on its own.

[The first thing to determine is, what basic world line is this Shirou in now? ]

[1/6, Fate/Zero's world line]

[2/7, Fate/Stay.Night's world line]

[3/8, FSN·UBW (Unlimited Blade Works) world line]

[4. FSN HF (Flower of Evil Omen) World Line]

[5. A variant world line of FGO]

[9. The world line of "Celestial World (Chaldeas)"]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

[1D10——Judge the random numbers '1~10' and choose the option corresponding to the number to proceed with the story]

【1D10=9】

What do you mean?
Shirou tried to ask in his heart about the 'mysterious person' who might be manipulating these words behind the scenes.

But the other party did not have any intention of explaining every word to Shirou.

Instead, it is just "advancing the plot" on its own.

[It seems to be the world of Chaldeas. Let’s make an additional judgment then.]

[Will the story immediately enter the 'Singularity F Event' of 2004, or will it continue to develop according to the default life path of Shirou? ]

[1. Directly enter 'Singularity F']

【2、以2004年士郎17岁为标准，现在是1994年的7岁的士郎，如此继续故事】

【1D2=2】

[In that case, let's assume that the storyline will unfold before 2004, with the perspective of "the continuation of the FZ story" as the baseline.]

The mysterious records seemed to have no mercy on Shirou's miserable condition.

He neither intended to lend a helping hand directly nor to give Shirou more explanations and tell him what the meaning behind these seemingly messy texts was.

However, Shirou silently remembered a time - '2004'

2004, ten years later - what will happen ten years later?

No, those are not what Shirou should focus on now. If he dies here, there will be no ten years later.

Compared to this inexplicably cold 'recorder' - Shirou decided to call it that - the most important thing Shirou should do now is probably to cry for help.

In this way, maybe someone will notice him, and then, maybe a hero will appear to lend him a helping hand.

Shirou wanted to speak.

But the moment he tried to do so, he felt a burning pain deep in his throat. He was so weak that he couldn't even make a sound.

However, the merciless "recorder" no longer cared about Shirou's miserable appearance, and continued to input new words on Shirou's retina:

[The world line has been confirmed, the foundation of the story has been determined, how it will change in the future depends on the random results of the dice]

[So——Before the story officially begins]

[Since this is a Fate-themed story, it is inevitable that the element of summoning heroic spirits cannot be avoided, right? ]

[Before the story officially begins, give Shirou a reward judgment]

[Before the story begins, Shirou gets a chance for a 'luck check']

[Make a 1D100 judgment (the output value will change randomly between '1~100' through the applet)]

[If the target is greater than 50, as a reward, Shirou will get a random "holy relic" to start with. The higher the target, the stronger the servant associated with the holy relic will be.]

[Shirou's 'Reward Judgment·Luck Check': 1D100=96 (Great Success!)]

[The hidden rules were triggered so quickly? 】

[To give a brief explanation, when making a 1D100 type judgment, if the number of points is greater than 95, it will be judged as a "big success!", that is, you will receive a "strong luck reward correction (the specific reward type depends on the situation)"]

[On the contrary, if the number of points is less than 6, it will be judged as a 'big failure! ', that is, you will receive a 'bad luck reward correction (the specific reward type depends on the situation)']

Shirou: "."

What is "Big Failure Doom Reward Correction"? It's already doom, why is the description affixed with "reward"? Shouldn't it be "Doom Penalty Correction"?

Because he saw something too outrageous, although Shirou still couldn't fully understand the meaning of it, his instinct as a living being still made him unable to help but complain in his heart.

[Because it is a great success reward, the specific content of the "holy relics" distributed will be super powerful! Among them, there may be one that can be used directly as a treasure? 】

[Maybe there will be something that can directly save Shirou from his current miserable situation! ]

[Specifically, Shirou's 'starting relic' in this storyline is——]

[1. Holy relics related to King Hassan]

[2. Holy relics related to Enkidu]

[3. Relics related to Ozymandias]

4. Holy relics related to Charlemagne

[5. The Holy Lance Rungomyniad, a holy relic related to King Arthur]

[6. Humanoid 'holy relic'. Sakutsuki Miyu falls from the sky]

7. Relics of Solomon

[8. Holy relics related to the Smoky Mirror (the god of creation in Mayan mythology, the prototype of Nyarlathotep in Cthulhu mythology and Tzeentch in Warhammer)]

[9. Holy relics related to Karna]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=8】

Shirou: "."

Shirou had no idea what 'holy relic' meant, nor did he know who this 'smoke mirror' was named - or was a title.

He just knew that he was really dying.

My will became increasingly scattered, and even the contents of the 'recorder' became increasingly difficult to understand.

But the recorder still records the story of this world line in an orderly manner according to his own rhythm.

[Next, Shirou will conduct a 'physical condition assessment']

[Difficulty: 80 (the score must be greater than or equal to 80 to be considered successful)]

[If successful, Shirou will remember his original identity, original name, and original family relationships]

[If you fail, Shirou will lose the above memories and literally start a new life]

[Shirou's 'Physical Condition': 1D100=3 (Big Failure)]

【Big failure? 】

[In other words, in addition to the classic development of losing past memories, Shirou in this world line also suffered some special "damage (bad luck bonus correction)" on the physical level? ]

[The 'damage' Shirou suffered from the Fuyuki pollution incident is]

[1/3/5, Simple physical weakness (not suitable for martial arts)]

[2/6/8, Magic Circuit Damage] [4, Mental Problems Similar to 'Kotomine Kirei' (Loss of Good and Evil)]

[7. Mental problems similar to 'Kira Seshoin' (damage to the ability to love)]

[9. Similar to the mental and physical problems of "Shizuki Sojuro" (Mushroom Man)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

[Mushroom Man Constitution——]

[In a nutshell, people who acquire this physique will lose all the 'passive abilities' they have as humans]

[For example: breathing changes from automatic to manual]

[For mushroom people, all actions except thoughts are manually controlled. Even if they just raise their hands, they need to use their thoughts to mobilize every muscle and every nerve to operate manually.]

[Whether it is breathing or moving your limbs, it requires your personal will to "go all out" and "do your best"]

[At this cost, if the mushroom man physique holder can survive, the ability to control his own body will be greatly improved.]

[A physique with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. Of course, before talking about the advantages, you have to survive first.]

What does mushroom man mean?
Is this a term unique to some comedy variety show? There seems to be an explanation below, but Shirou is too weak to understand it at this time.

Shirou didn't know, nor was he clear about those things. He just felt very tired, even breathing became extremely painful, his consciousness seemed to be becoming more and more blurred, and his whole body became paralyzed.

Breathing became increasingly tiring.

In other words, even the act of "breathing" required Shirou to work very hard at this moment.

As a human being, breathing should be an "instinct". It is a subjective thing that does not require special thinking and commanding "I want to inhale and exhale" - just like people cannot suffocate by holding their breath. When a person really faints, the body will act out of survival instinct to "breathe". It should be possible to do it as a matter of course.

At this moment, Shirou felt that his breathing was like being switched from the automatic gear to the manual gear of the vehicle.

No, that's not right. It's not just breathing - blinking, moving muscles and twitching fingers, any small thing, for Shirou now, needs to be done in manual mode.

Shirou had a strange feeling.

Now I seem to be 'capable of doing nothing', yet 'capable of doing anything'.

Shirou now has completely lost abilities like 'instinct' or 'subconscious'. He has to use his mental will to mobilize every muscle and every nerve to execute any action. But on the other hand, he has become able to accurately 'give orders' to every muscle and nerve of his.

Is this the so-called 'mushroom man physique'?

What does this have to do with mushrooms? Who came up with this name?

Shirou didn't know if this was good or bad.

Maybe it's a good thing?

Shirou discovered something.

He has now lost his 'instinct to feel pain'.

In other words, as long as he does not order his body to 'feel pain', he will not feel pain.

As long as he ordered his now dry throat, which was burned by the poisonous gas, to 'make a sound', he could skip all the biological stress response instincts and make a sound and speak.

Even if it is a very difficult thing.

But he still tried his best and worked hard to make his throat utter an unclear sound: "Help."

but.

After making the sound, the 7-year-old boy named Shirou fell into confusion.

He could no longer feel the pain.

Not to mention the pain, it would be better to say that as long as he didn't want it, even the "feeling of touch" would be completely lost from Shirou's body.

More than that.

The feeling of happiness, the feeling of pain, the feeling of wanting to live, all the 'feelings' disappeared.

He had lost all the sense of being alive or the sense of danger of approaching death.

If that’s the case, then why call for help?
Yes. Residue.

It's 'residual pain'.

It's not that Shirou can still feel pain now, but his remaining memories still retain his previous 'feeling of pain'. No, not the 'feeling of pain', but the 'memory of pain' and the 'memory of wanting to live'.

He is like a sports car that has lost control while speeding. Although the driver can no longer control the car, the vehicle is still moving forward following the 'inertia' of memory.

If even these "memories of the five senses" are lost, can he still be considered a human being? Can he still be considered a living being? Perhaps he is more like a plant that cannot think and only remains calm?
Is this what is meant by mushroom man?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

Shirou closed his eyes.

Nothing mattered anymore. His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and his past memories of when he had five senses began to fade.

As a 'human' he was about to die.

All that may be left is a faded ash wreck.

At this moment, new 'recorder' text appeared -

[Just like Eevee in Pokémon will evolve into different forms due to different conditions]

[Who Shirou is picked up by at this turning point will also determine his future growth direction]

[So specifically, who picked up Shirou in this story? ]

[1/5/6, Emiya Kiritsugu]

[2. Kotomine Kirei]

3. Gilgamesh

[4. Solomon (Goetia?)]

[7. Smoke mirror]

【8. Quetzalcoatl】

[9. Is Ms. Miyamoto Musashi still wandering around in different worlds? ]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

Shirou could no longer see the contents of the 'record'.

After gradually losing the sense of reality of existence, he even began to forget the "feeling of heartbeat", hearing, smell, vision, touch... all were gradually disappearing.

At the very end, Shirou suddenly heard an incredible female voice.

"Oh my god! What world are we in this time? Is this still Japan? Is this the hell that Kirishita talked about?"

The woman's name is Miyamoto Musashi, a beautiful woman who 'calls herself a samurai'.

The reason why she calls herself a samurai is because Ms. Musashi is a woman, and women cannot become samurai.

Compared to those, this self-proclaimed samurai lady has a special physique - 'random travel'.

She herself couldn't remember when she acquired this physique. Since one day, Musashi would randomly jump around the world while traveling, and might appear in any place and any era.

The past, present, future, various parallel worlds or alien worlds, her footprints are left in many places.

Now, guided by some mysterious possibility, Miss Musashi came to this world and came to Shirou's side.

Although she is a duel fanatic who values force above all else, Miss Musashi is a good person at heart, so her first reaction is of course to save people.

Musashi picked up the boy in front of her, wanting to take him away from this hellish sea of fire immediately - but she immediately discovered something very serious.

The young man in front of me is about to stop breathing!
At this time, Musashi didn't know that the boy suffered from the physical defect of a "mushroom man". In her eagerness to save him, she used the "knowledge" she had learned in some unknown world and era - artificial respiration!
In her rush, Miss Musashi even forgot questions that she would normally care about, such as "Huh? My first kiss is gone?"

Then--

As Shirou's five senses gradually faded, the last 'touch' he felt was the softness of his lips.

[What is the depth of impression left by Miyamoto Musashi's 'kiss' on Shirou at this moment? ]

[1D100 judgment, if the number is greater than 80, Shirou will recover "basic survival ability such as breathing"]

[Shirou's "depth of impression" of this: 1D100=100]

This soft touch was deeply engraved in the immature heart of the seven-year-old boy.

Shirou wanted to remember this softness, so he 'remembered the feeling of touching the world'.

Shirou wanted to see the owner of this softness, so he 'remembered the feeling of watching the world'.

Shirou wanted to listen to the voice of this soft master, so he 'remembered the feeling of listening to the world'.

The seven-year-old Shirou saw Miyamoto Musashi, the woman who was destined to influence his life. She was so beautiful that even in this polluted and burning city, she was like a blooming Tianyuan flower.

She smiled.

A simple smile, a pure smile.

Feeling the satisfaction and joy of the boy's rescue.

It seemed that the person who was saved this time was not Shirou, but herself.

——But at this moment
A sudden change occurred!

Shirou had just recovered his vision and saw a new record!
[At this moment, the Fourth Holy Grail War has just ended, and there is still one Heroic Servant left in the world - Gilgamesh! ]

[Gilgamesh naturally noticed the sudden arrival of Miyamoto Musashi from another world, and his actions were...]

[1. Observe in secret]

[2. Attacked because it was fun]

【1D2=2】

I never felt grateful for surviving the disaster.

Arriving immediately, attacking the unfortunate boy and the time-traveling female warrior—is the dense rain of swords of the Hero King’s Noble Phantasm!
