NovelHook/DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works/Chapter 1

DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works Chapter 1

"Is this the Dungeon City Orario? What a miraculous city!" Standing on a towering hillside, Shirou gazed at the vast and magnificent city in the distance, deeply moved. Especially that white tower, Babel, piercing straight into the sky. It was simply impossible to imagine how it was built. "A world where gods and mortals dance together, the birthplace of heroes, Orario. This place will surely give me power comparable to a Heroic Spirit!" "Then, I can defeat Julian and prevent them from ever bothering Miyu's life again!" Thinking of his sister's face, Shirou's memories involuntarily returned to the past. In his previous life, he was a university student named Emiya, a veteran Otaku. Especially as his favorite series, he had watched almost all works related to the "Fate" series. After all, whenever he, Emiya, saw another Emiya cutting a swathe through enemies with girls surrounding him, a strong sense of immersion would naturally arise. When Emiya finished watching Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel II. lost butterfly online, he was once again shocked by Sakura Matou's tragic fate. Among the original heroines, he preferred Sakura Matou over Rin Tohsaka. After all, who wouldn't like a big, gentle girl like Sakura? But her background was simply too tragic, especially the Heaven's Feel route, which centered on Sakura, was too unbearable. After finishing it, Emiya, feeling heartbroken, quickly opened Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya to purify his hurt heart with the girls' wholesome interactions. Then, he stayed up late to rewatch Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Oath Under Snow and then, after falling asleep, he transmigrated. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a pitted ground, surrounded by various broken swords and fragments of blades. And not far away, Angelica, wielding the Sword of Rupture, Gilgamesh, was staring at him. "Heh, starting directly against the Boss, and after being defeated at that? Is there a more miserable beginning?" Memories kept replaying in his mind. "Shirou," "Miyu Sakatsuki," "Holy Grail War," "King of Heroes." Numerous pieces of information continuously emerged from the depths of Emiya's memory, allowing him to quickly sort out his identity. Although he didn't need the memories to know when and where this was. After all, this information was carved into his DNA. (Stop carving, DNA can't hold any more!) This was the ending of the Holy Grail War in Miyu Sakatsuki's world, as depicted in Oath Under Snow, and also the beginning of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya. This is the story of Shirou Emiya the Great Hero, who, to save his sister, abandoned his ideal of being a "Hero of Justice," transformed into an evil being, fought seven opponents in a row, and ended the Holy Grail War overnight. And now, it was the end of this story. To buy time for his sister to be transferred away, Shirou, as a human, faced Angelica, who had transformed into King of Heroes Gilgamesh. Although he lost this battle, he won the war. At this moment, bruised and battered, lying on the ground, he was happy that his sister had found salvation. Infected by this emotion, Emiya also discovered a fact: he had already transmigrated but had only just woken up. Therefore, in terms of personality, he also leaned more towards Shirou's personality. After all, both were him, one being his previous life, and the other his present. "Speaking of which, since my memories from my previous life could awaken, there must be something interfering, perhaps the culprit who caused my transmigration." "But no matter what you are, system or god. Since you've awakened my memories of my previous life, you shouldn't let me be captured and imprisoned , right?" "Please, I need your power now!" Startled by Shirou's heartfelt plea, a golden light rose from his chest, gradually illuminating the entire space. Provoked by the anomaly emanating from Shirou, Angelica immediately assumed a fighting stance. A dozen golden ripples instantly appeared behind her, and a dozen Noble Phantasms were poised to strike, ready for any unforeseen circumstances. But before she could understand what was happening, her consciousness ceased. With his heavily injured arm, Shirou stubbornly pushed himself up, looking towards the source of the golden light. A golden pocket watch slowly floated out from the golden light on his chest. "Isn't this the show-off pocket watch I bought for dozens of yuan? Could it be that I stumbled upon a treasure?" Who would have thought that the culprit behind Emiya's transmigration was actually the pocket watch he bought from a certain online marketplace? What's the difference between this miracle and picking up something for free! Looking at the golden pocket watch floating before him, Shirou extended his trembling right hand and steadily caught it. As he touched the golden pocket watch, a piece of information instantly appeared in his mind. It turned out that this pocket watch was called the [Time Piece of Distant Eras], possessing the ability to transport people and perfectly integrate them into that world. Seventeen years ago, it was this golden pocket watch that brought him to this world. However, because his original three-dimensional body was incompatible with the two-dimensional environment, it found the person with the highest compatibility among countless worlds as his transmigration target. And for these seventeen years, the reason he hadn't awakened was because his soul was gradually adapting to this world, until this battle, where his strong fighting spirit and resolve made him fully adapt to this world. Now, he was Shirou, no longer the former Emiya. "Is this the whole story of my transmigration? Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Now I should think with Shirou's mindset about what to do next!" Looking around at the environment and Angelica, who stood motionless, Shirou suddenly smiled: "What else is there to think about? Of course, I'll travel through worlds first!" "I don't have the power to fight Julian and them right now. The most important thing now is to gain stronger power." Emiya knew that in the plot after Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, although Miyu, Illya, and Shirou temporarily defeated Julian and his group after returning to this world, But in subsequent battles, they used Shirou's body as an excuse to keep him at home. The subsequent battles were fought by Illya, Miyu, Kuro, and Bazett. Thinking of such a future, Shirou was filled with unwillingness. How could he let his sisters fight while he rested in the back? This was not the future he wanted. "Let's go, [Time Piece of Distant Eras], take me to a world where I can improve my strength." The [Time Piece of Distant Eras]'s ability to travel through worlds could not specify a world; it could only choose a general direction, unless it had been to that world before and had its coordinates. With Shirou's command, he was enveloped in golden light. Looking at Angelica, the King of Heroes, in the distance, Shirou said with some reluctance: "Angelica, I have to say you're stronger now, but I'll be back soon to defeat you!" Subsequently, Shirou's figure disappeared from this space, leaving only Angelica, who had regained consciousness but was unaware of what had happened. Waking from his past memories, Shirou looked at Orario in the distance and muttered to himself, "I hope you don't disappoint me, Falna!" --------More Bonus Chapters!!!!
