This cave was massive, big enough for a two-legged wyvern to comfortably fly around inside.
The surrounding area was thick with bushes and giant trees. Inside, it was dim and shadowy.
In the darkness, flickering lights cast two dancing shadows, one of which was trapped in a cage, curled up in a crying position. Sniffles and whimpers could be heard from the cage.

2024-06-25 00:35:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe game designers, either intentionally or as a prank, had given the slime invincible power within the game world, but they hadn't anticipated someone or something breaking the game rules and defeating the invincible slime!
Due to the lack of a script for the slime's death, the game rules had created a contradictory conflict.
Simply put, there was a logical contradiction in the bas...

"Let's get started!" he said with a serious expression.
Shirou slowly approached the slime.
The bouncing slime noticed his arrival, pausing its movements as its jelly-like eyes focused on him.
Here goes nothing!

But this Connection P...
2024-06-22 00:09:32 +0000 UTC View PostShirou and Altera reached the back mountain.
Merem hadn't lied; a whole camp of pigmen was there, along with some giant frogs.
"Alright, let's get started."
Shirou's eyes narrowed as he gripped the best sword in the village and charged. But his attack met a resounding "clang" as the pigman's shield blocked it.
You've got to be kidding me...
Wait!

"I... I forgot... Ayaka said the beginner village slimes are stronger than even level 9 dungeon bosses. All the newbies die to them, that's why they're called 'Noob Killers'," she said, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.
He was dumbfounded.
Beginner mobs stronger than late-game bosses? Which sadist designed this g...

"Wh-What just happened?" Artoria muttered, picking up the lifeless Switch.
This wasn't just Artoria's question, but Shirou's as well.
"Wh-What is this?" Shirou was dragged through a tunnel of swirling light by the hand gripping his collar.

It made sense now why she had manifested alongside Karna, Arjuna, and others to help Artoria during the Fuyuki invasion.

Fortunately, Artoria rarely went out, so it didn't cause a huge ...

Before reaching his room, he spotted Morrigan dozing off while making coffee at the public drinking fountain in the hallway.
He smiled and approached her, whispering softly from behind, "Good evening, sister."

With a startled shriek, Morrigan tumbled to the floor. "Clatter," the coffee cup in her hand f...

Finally, he could give his stomach some relief.
Enduring this constant hunger must be tough on Artoria, Shirou thought, sipping tea and idly playing with his chopsticks as he waited for the food.
Suddenly, the sound of girls' laughter drifted in from outside.
"Really?"

2024-06-15 02:36:37 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to Shirou's peacemaking skills, Salter and Mo-chan eventually calmed down, letting everyone else finally enjoy their meal. Even "regular" folks like Mash, Chloe, and Gray got to eat alongside the two golden troublemakers.
The dinner was quiet, but as soon as it was over, Mo-chan and Salter were at it again, this time with a full-blown pillow fight. Chloe and Mash quickly joined in,...

She would occasionally steal glances at Shirou, only to look away flustered when their eyes met.
Watching the interaction between Shirou and Mo-chan, Salter leaned her head on one hand as she munched on chips, her dark golden eyes observing them both.

"Hahahahaha! Shirou, I've come to play again!"
Gil-kun sauntered in, the Chains of Heaven coiling around him.
But before Gil-kun could take another step, Shirou launched Excalibur at him. Gil-kun ducked just in time, narrowly avoiding the blade.

"This...that..."
Embarrassment flooded her, and she didn't know what to do.
Seeing Artoria flustered, he looked at her with a gentle smile. "Still hung up on titles and status, huh? My kingship ended a long time ago. Wasn't it you who freed me from all that?"
"No, you're wrong. You are a king, and always will be my king!" She stood, looking at him...
2024-06-13 02:22:48 +0000 UTC View PostBut that was a worry for another day. Right now, Shirou was dealing with a mind-blowing revelation.

If they stayed here any longer, they'd disappear along with this conection point. Shirou, Artoria, and the others would be fine—their minds would just snap back to their main bodies.

"Why not?"
Artoria turned her head, her soft eyes filled with tenderness as she gazed at the king wielding the Holy Lance. "Because the one who will win is the king!"
Her voice was soft, yet firm!

Everyone turned to look at him, confusion clouding their faces.

Shirou nodded.

The mud Servant roared, fixing its gaze on Shirou before charging at him.
"Think I'm an easy target?" Shirou raised an eyebrow.
Altera's attacks became a whirlwind, overwhelming the mud Lancer and pushing him into a corner.
Ayaka, fists clenched, turned to face the undead horde rushing towards her. "I won't run away anymore!"
