Seeing the seemingly idiotic introduction, even Shirou Emiya, who has played many games and possesses magic, couldn't help but fall silent.

"No, what are you introducing?"

However, the cards didn't respond to his complaints; instead, they shone brightly again, and two cards emerged from the gem cards.

Congratulations on acquiring the new card 'Garden of Avalon'.

The two cards, one of which depicts a fairytale kingdom and is named 'The Garden of Avalon: The Beginning', has a small green arrow in the lower left corner, like a forward selection option in a game.

The design on the other card puzzled Shirou Emiya, because it depicted him, or perhaps it was based on him but with some modifications.

He wore a white cloak and coat, with his left arm covered by red clothing. His lower body was equipped with leg guards similar to those worn by ancient samurai, and he also had a katana at his waist.

Fortunately, he recognized the knife and was very familiar with it.

Throughout his dreams over the past decade or so, he has been learning forging and swordsmanship from Senji Muramasa, and the weapon he has always wielded is the one depicted in the card.

Even though he hasn't acquired it yet, Shirou Emiya's intuition, built up over a decade of experience wielding a sword, tells him that this is the sword!

(The past ten years in the dream have not been in vain; all the hard work has paid off. This panel can only be used in the 'dream,' but it will subtly change reality.)

[A new mode has been activated. In the 'dream,' you will live as a Heroic Spirit with a panel that may reflect your real-world physical attributes. (Warning: Please do not take the dream's events seriously, including everything: your own strength, the things and people you experience in the dream. A dream is always just a dream. Finally: Do not die, even in a dream.)]

"This card contains me. I've become a Heroic Spirit?"

The first thought that popped into Shirou Emiya's mind after reading the introduction was this.

As someone who had been exposed to the magical world, he naturally knew what a 'Heroic Spirit' was.

First, their great achievements became legends after their death, transforming them into beings who were objects of worship.

They are then summoned to the present world through a ritual, becoming "Servants".

"But didn't the teacher say that Heroic Spirits are only summoned at specific times? Could it be that I've encountered those specific times?"

Emiya Shirou was puzzled, but after reading the explanation later, he understood: does it only count as a 'dream'?

So... what are the criteria for this dream?

As a living magician, this scene both amused and intrigued him.

As he reached out to examine the research, the card floated over automatically, merging directly into his palm without landing on him, and then disappeared after being enveloped in light.

Having changed his clothes, Shirou Emiya stroked his chin and began to ponder his next decision.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I'm not interested in this kind of thing, but running around aimlessly is not a good thing.

His real teacher once said that people who study magic should not wander around when they go out, especially if they see a dark cave, they must stay away and never be curious!

To be honest, the changes that have occurred in my dreams over the past ten years, along with the fact that I possess a system-like interface and a heroic spirit identity, are not things that a magician can easily ignore.

He's a magician, you know...

"Since we're already here, why not take a look? There shouldn't be any problems..."

With this in mind, Shirou Emiya reached out towards another card, 'The Garden of Avalon: The Beginning'.

Upon contact, a burst of light erupted, the figure vanished, and the two solitary cards remained floating calmly in space.

The only difference is that in the image of the [Garden of Avalon] card, there is a short red-haired boy.

Volume 1: 2. Wild Boar Queen, the Pleasant Flower Magician (4k)

Fifth century, the island of Britain.

The island is not at peace now; a cloud of chaos hangs over the country.

It all began with the collapse of an empire on the European continent. Britain, under the protection of a powerful empire, was naturally affected, and the turmoil on the continent brought new external enemies to the island nation.

In search of sustenance—food, clothing, and shelter—the Saxons, in short, came here seeking survival.

Britain was originally composed of numerous ethnic groups and island nations, and was inherently a land of conflict. The arrival of the Saxons, ironically, fostered unity as they worked together to defend against their enemies.

But the appearance of a king caused a rift in this united relationship.

That king used foreign tribes to achieve his own selfish desires—to unify Britain and have his name proclaimed throughout the land.

His name was King Voodoo!

Born in Britain, and created to destroy Britain, the incarnation of a white dragon!

Vortigern summoned enemies who destroyed the magnificent city of Rendinium, which he had built in the past!

Even the greatest king, Uther Pendragon, who was celebrated as the greatest, was defeated in battle against the white dragon and disappeared without a trace.

That battle gave the Saxons land, but countless kings continued to rebel, and the battle was far from over.

It was a dark age, with battles taking place every moment, further reducing the already fertile land's yields and making people's lives increasingly impoverished, but they did not lose hope.

because!

Merlin, the great magician who had always protected Britain and was Uther's protector, once told people: This was all expected.

"The successor to King Uther has been chosen. That person is the next king, the incarnation of the red dragon. When the new king appears, the Knights of the Round Table will be gathered, the white dragon will be defeated, and the king will still be alive! That proof will be dealt with soon."

Merlin's words spread throughout the island, filling everyone with anticipation for the future king's arrival, until...

Ten years later.

It has been ten years since Merlin uttered those words. Ten years is a short time, passing in the blink of an eye before one can even react.

Ten years is a long time. Wars are happening all the time, food is constantly dwindling, and people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult. Whenever you get involved in these things, time seems to pass very, very slowly.

Over time, the royal family and nobles began to harbor strange thoughts.

This country has been without a king for ten years. The popularity of the former King Uther has declined significantly in these ten years, to the point that the nobles have seen a possibility.

Can they shed their aristocratic status and become the kings of this country?

After all, the king hasn't appeared for so long, and the position has been vacant for so long, hasn't it...?

"And so, this is the story of this world!"

"Righteous spirits of outsiders! After hearing this, do you wish to join me in serving the king?"

Two people sit facing each other in a towering building amidst an endless sea of ​​flowers. One is Shirou Emiya, and the other is a white-haired youth.

The white-haired man raised his arm, staring at the red-haired boy with an amused look.

However, Shirou Emiya's intuition told him that the other person's gaze was somewhat insincere.

After touching the card, he suddenly appeared in this garden. The other person also appeared suddenly, pulled him to sit down, and began to tell a story.

Neither side introduced themselves, but they went on and on, then tried to get him to choose a side.

Something weird!

Shirou Emiya crossed his arms and said rationally, "...Isn't it a bit too hasty for you to suddenly ask me to make a decision?"

"Ultimately, you have to observe and understand for yourself before you can draw a conclusion, don't you think?"

"Besides... I don't even know who you are, do I?"

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression clearly froze, then their pupils began to dilate and the corners of their mouth began to turn up, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Emiya Shirou raised an eyebrow slightly. What's wrong with this guy? Why is his gaze so... intense?

"Hahaha! That's right!" The other person chuckled, and the staff fell and tapped the ground lightly.

"Ding~"

The petals appeared out of nowhere, surrounded the person, and then scattered, revealing the person again. Surprisingly, the person inside the petals was no longer the same as before.

But...

"Hehe, nice to meet you. I'm Merry, the little flower magician, and the owner of this garden~"

"This little girl is a nightmare, not human."

Image: "Merry", Location: "Images/1750060287-100442483-113473755.jpg"

The silver-haired girl spoke playfully as she stood up and hopped around Shirou Emiya, her eyes sometimes serious and sometimes puzzled, as if she were examining something.

"You... your name is Emiya Shirou, right?"

Meili touched her chin, asking somewhat uncertainly.

“If no one else has that name,” Emiya Shirou nodded in reply.

How strange!

A hint of doubt crept onto Mary's small face as she muttered to herself.

[As Shirou Emiya, he didn't immediately agree to join the side of justice. He doesn't seem to possess any 'mystery,' yet he's shrouded in it. His future seems fine, but his intuition warns that something is amiss. How strange!]

Mary scratched her chin with her slender fingers as she returned to her seat and closed her eyes to think.

In just a moment, the silver-haired nightmare opened its eyes, its pupils blooming like a galaxy.

Joy! Joy! Joy!

Even Shirou Emiya felt a deep sense of joy.

"This guy... he's crazy!"

The sudden change of the other party, their inexplicable circling around, and their sudden change of demeanor completely convinced him that the other party was not a normal person.

Oh, the other party already explained that they weren't human to begin with.

That's all... Yeah, right!

As a normal person with plenty of experience interacting with strangers, he needs to figure out the other person's 'identity'.

Emiya Shirou thought to himself, preparing to observe the surroundings, hoping to find some clues.

But before he could get a good look at the other side, Meryl jumped up:

"Then let me show you the protagonist of this world! You can choose which side to join!"

The staff was waved again, and a magic circle appeared beneath their feet. The surrounding environment changed rapidly, and they were suddenly high in the sky.

The blue sky and white clouds, along with the rush of oxygen into his nostrils, told Shirou Emiya that this was a garden, and that he had already come out.

This white-haired guy is not simple... If a conflict breaks out, could I use a knife?

Shirou Emiya remained wary of strangers, gripping the hilt of his sword and discreetly observing them, mentally assessing his chances of winning if a battle broke out.

Let's say it's a 90/10 split; the opponent will kill him nine times in one move.

Emiya Shirou, upon seeing the first [Heroic Spirit Card], concluded that this guy seemed full of flaws, yet also seemed to have no flaws at all.

He had experienced this with many people, and without exception, they were all masters or extremely mysterious seniors!

"Alright! We've arrived!" Merry waved her staff happily, pointing downwards, while Shirou Emiya's gaze remained fixed.

Shirou Emiya looked down curiously and saw a house. The only difference was that there was a blond boy practicing swordsmanship in the yard.

"This guy is going to be the king and rule this country. His name is Artoria Pendragon."

"And this one!"

Before she could observe closely, Meryl suddenly raised her staff again, and the clouds gathered together, creating an image that resembled a screen.

Projection magic?

Shirou Emiya looked on curiously and saw a beautiful white-haired woman reflected in his pupils.

“Morgan, this next lady is the king’s sister, and she’s also a competitor,” Meryl introduced.
