Author Notes:

Ok guys, this is GMW – Gaming Masters of the Wall – with the revised version of the first chapter of Fate/Stay Night: [Mortem Orbisque] and before some of you shout at me (us) for being pussies or use any other pejorative nickname to describe me (us), please let us talk.

You see, after a quick revision of the first chapter, I literally hit my head with the wall at the admittedly poor-wrote chapters and their developing. It's kind of shameful but I couldn't stand such horrible sight in Fanfiction if there was something we could do.

Also, thanks to certain reviews this story received a few months ago, we decided to fix these grammatical errors along with the stories we make and think things through more often before making some bad mistakes during the publications.

I know some of you said that Kosuke didn't seem like a believable character with that silly dream and we admit we could write his inner monologue better because quite frankly at that time it was poorly to say the least.

So here we are! Trying to fix the grammatical errors and our silly mistakes even though it will make us looks like a bunch of morons but with are men enough to bear such humiliating things!

Keep in mind that the chapters will not suffer from huge differences compared with the previous version. Perhaps we will add some details and modifications here and there but nothing to be alarmed for.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately for me, I don't own Fate/Stay Night or any other work of the Nasuverse. I would be a rich man if I do.

Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

Had you ever wonder what Death is?

In my opinion death is quite possibly the most discussed concept in all of human history. Many people have different definitions of what "Death" is.

It's a concept well known to all living beings in this world since its mere "existence" has always caused controversy within the "World of the Living". As you all know, every "living" being is subjected to this so it is no surprise that we feel curious and overwhelmed by death.

However, no one in the history have answered this philosophical question with an straight answer since no one really knows what the heck lies beyond this world and simply make speculations.

Perhaps you are familiar with this.

Christians, as well as many others of its religious factions, think that death is just the beginning of something new - something better or worse. They think that, once your life time is over, you are judged in Purgatory to decide whether you will go to paradise or hell depending on your actions and "morals". And interestingly enough, they said that anyone who doesn't share the same faith as them would be labeled as heretic and their souls wouldn't go to Heaven. What a bunch of nonsense!

Buddhists think that once your life ends, depending on your actions and unfinished business, your spirit is reborn on a higher, lower or even the same existential plane where you started... This confuses me because, if we apply this concept to ALL living beings, then what does a snail do to "level up"?

Atheists think that there is nothing beyond material existence and that there is only an infinite void. They say that we simply won't turn into cosmic dust and disappear into the universe – Yes, I know, it's a very gloomy and dark vision but that's what they think.

Ironically enough, I think the non-believers are right about this

Why did I say that, you ask? Let's just say anyone would have the very same conclusion after waking up in an infinite ocean of blackness after dying.

Spoiler Alert! You're talking with a Dead Man right now~!

This must be a shocking revelation because it shouldn't be possible for a Dead Man to retain consciousness after crossing the thin veil known as Death. Heck, I'm still amazed myself and I'm the one talking with you, my dear non-existent spectators~!

I guess it's true what they: "God works in mysterious ways"… If God truly exist here at least.

Hm? Want to know how I hit the deadline? Well, it wasn't a pleasant experience, that's for sure. But if you really want to know, who I am to deny you that precious info?

There weren't any fireworks or bloodbaths during my last moments on Earth, rather it was just a common death as you may figured out.

I died in a simple car crash to be specific, the same event that kills thousands of people around the world each year. Kind of cliché as hell now that I think about it but I guess I couldn't be helped.

A moment of distraction, a glance away as I was shifting lanes, then the sound of a horn an instant before the world started screaming and my senses became less than useless.

People say your life flashes before your eyes when you come close to death. Well, I can say that's bullshit because I didn't saw any of that. All I could see was the world turned upside down, then a cloud of glass, asphalt and metal fragments.

It was almost beautiful, an exuberant yet short-lived beauty that is found in fireworks— But then I fucking metal pole pierced my gut and I lost any chance of appreciating it any further! Yikes!

By the time the car came to rest, I was almost disconnected from the agony which enveloped me. I was impaled alive, had some nasty sharps of glass incrusted in my face and throat, and my body was catching fire. It wasn't a quick nor was a peaceful death either, and the best part is that no soul was with me to bring me some company in my last moments.

I was alone and in pain, trapped and deprived of my senses in the cage of glass and metal… Stripped of all locomotion capabilities and the only thing I could do at the time was nothing but see the life slowly escaping from my motionless body after being hugged by the sweet and warm touch of Death… By the hands of an explosion!

Katsu! I became a living firework! What a way to leave the World of Living, huh?

After that painful experience I suddenly woke up here without any clue what happened or why was I here. Can't say I didn't go mad by the extreme isolation I had faced so far in this World. I was literally a mad man of the higher order. I was so driven for insanity that I actually considered to kill for fun an entire race, ie, mankind— But don't worry guys, I'm mostly sanenow.

How did that happened? I'm not sure myself but I can tell you that, as the time passed, madness became pretty numb and meaningless to me since I didn't have anything to discharge it. In short, I got bored as hell of it.

I have been in this World of Darkness for a long, long, looooooooong time! – Although it is difficult to measure time when you are on an existential plane where the mere concept of "Time" doesn't exist but my point is…! I'm so bored of this shit that I would do anything to escape from here!

Your request has been heard, mortal. And your wish will be granted

… Huh? The heck?... Who are you?

I'm just the remnant – the shadow – of an ancient Entity of unparallel power whose existence has been shattered during a fight with another powerful being.

Ah, ooook… So, what do you want?

Nothing, as nothing matters to me now. The only thing I can do now is bestow other beings with a fragment of my own power, thus granting them another chance to live in another world.

Then you want to gave me a second chance to live?... Just like that? What's the catch?

As I say, there is nothing in this world that matters to me. Why would I want to trick mortals in the first place? Low-Existence Beings' business are meaningless to me. But if you don't want this gift, I could always grant it to another spirit in this Empty World.

… Well, I guess it can't be helped. I indeed say that I want t olive one more time. I accept the deal, though I warm that I gonna kill you if this is some kind of trick for your own personal gain.

Whatever you say, mortal. In the future you will thank me for this cuz IT will awake one more time. So grow stronger and gather allies, because IT is coming.

Huh? "It"? What do you mean by "It"?

That's nothing relevant right now.

Ok, that's clearly a bullshiting foreshadowing.

…

Hello? Are you in?... Don't tell me… Does it left me here? But it hasn't told me about this supposed "Gift" and—

Sorry, I was doing some modifications while I was out. You should be grateful I took so many troubles with you, and please try to not die. "It" will awake soon and you better be prepared for the battle,

Hold on! You still have to tell what it's "It"! You can expect I would go just like—

VRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

(...)

My first reaction when I woke from that dream wasn't pleasant by any means. I was greeted by a familiar yet tortuous feeling of unparallel pain running through my body, specially the throat.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait! If I feel pain then that means I'm still alive!

Instinctively, I tried to inhale some air but I immediately felt a severe pain in my throat. The glass damaged my throat because it pierced through my skin though, so this is reasonable enough.

My eyes burst open as I saw the familiar white walls and smell the sterilized aroma of a hospital room – And guess what? That was exactly where I was!

I was in a large hospital room with another group of children.

Huh… Weird.

I'm pretty sure I should in a private room since I'm an adult. Well, I can worry about that later because right now I'm grateful of being alive and… Why my body feels so weird? And why everything it's a bigger than they should be?

"Ngh…!"

I lowered my gaze to see what was wrong and the sight of a child body greeted me— Wowowowowow! Stop right there! WHAT?! Did my body entered in contact with a rejuvenating pool or something like that?! My body is like that of an eight year-old kid!

What the hell is happening?!

[Greetings new User]

… And now I'm seeing a translucent blue screen? WTF?!

On second thought, this thing looks awfully familiar somehow— No fucking way! Is this the GAMER System?!

[Affirmative, New User]

NO. WAY! That's fucking amazing!

If that's true then everything I went through in that Limbo was real and thus I got a second chance to live!

That still doesn't explain why I'm inside a kid's body because that entity wasn't very talkative about the details but my Geek's experience with fanfiction made me realize this could be another timeline or another universe from all I know.

Huh, for a moment I thought I would have to experience my early life as a baby… Or worst, experience my own birth! Oh man, the horrors I was saved!

[That would've been impossible, User. A sub-developed mind of a fetus couldn't handle such a level of information and mental strain]

Well, that's explains it. Anyway, I better take a good look of my "new" body – which I'm pretty sure I'm usurping because for me it looks like I took possession of a poor child's body as my own, thus erasing every trace of his persona.

[Reincarnation Process is not a full Science and sometimes the person is thrown to a random body instead of beginning the whole process at the very headline of life, User [0.4]. You may think on this like the concept of "Spiritual Possession" as your people say but it is more complex than that and several factors plays a good part in this process]

This new body was resting in a bed in a corner of the room and I had bandages around my torso, arms and throat. Of course, I was also sporting a very fashionable hospital outfit for the ill people.

The beds were filled with the children and like me they had injuries and bandages covering their fragile bodies. Some of them have minor injuries but others… Well, their wounds were so severe that it was clear as the day that most of them would become cripples for the rest of their life.

I can't help but feel pity for those kids and I wonder what the heck happened here before my arrival in this world.

"Ah, I see you are awake"

My head snapped instinctively as I was greet by one of the nurses of the hospital. She is kind of hot and has a sweet smile on her face… And she doesn't have western facial traits and is talking in Japanese— Wait a minute! How am I able to understand what she is saying?!

[That's because you're reborn as a Japanese kid. In order to facilitate this life, you were gifted with the [Skill] to speak and write Japanese to a certain degree so you wouldn't look like a dumbass]

… Ah, I got it.

"Are you alright, dear? You seen to be spacing out…" The nurse asked with a concerned look.

"S-Sorry… I was blind… By you beauty" I replied instantly so she wouldn't think I've a disorder or trauma, the last thing I need is a bunch of psychologist asking me questions and treating me like a child – even though technically speaking I was indeed a kid.

"My, you are a little charmer, aren't you?" The woman giggled.

"I… Try… Hehe" That was all I said before I felt the sudden urge to cough. Damn my throat feels horrible…! It's hard to even articulate a mere word and for some reason my voice is hoarser than it should be!

"Take it easy, dear. Your throat is heavily wounded" She chastised me in a motherly way as she handed me a water glass to drink.

Since my ability to make a single word became almost impossible without suffering the painful consequences, I opted for a quick nod as I took the water glass and drank all the liquid.

Ah~! Nothing is more refreshing than a good drink of crystalline water!

"Thanks…" I said with a faint smirk.

The nurse simply smiled brightly as she made her way to the other children and take care of them.

'Well, now that she is busy with the other children I can see what I got here' I thought with excitement to know what kind of powers I could get from this version of Han-Jee Han's ability.

Let's see… How can I see my status profile? I know I have to use a mental or vocal command but I can't remember what words are needed to open it… Crap, I have been in that Limbo for so long that I forgot several things I used to know perfectly! Come one, brain! Don't let me down buddy!

Aha! I got it now! How could I be so stupid to forget it so easily?!

Ok, I will be blunt here. It took almost all my will power to not glare at the System right now. Seriously, is it hitting my balls?! What kind of accident suffered this kid before I took on this body?! Am I Jason Beghe's Japanese Version now?!

Also, what the hell with my "name"? This looks like some sort of Top Secret file if you ask and I'm not pretty sure I want to know why it's blackened instead of showing me my "name".

In any case, I can see this System is a bit different from the "Classic" GAMER System introduced in The Gamer Manga. Can't say I remember it having a Stamina bar.

Hmm, that means I will not get any [Gamer's Mind] or [Gamer's Body] with this nerfed version of the Gamer Power but it's better than nothing. At least I wouldn't be a powerless average joe like I used to be in my past life.

Now that I think about it, the System said I was in Japan but it didn't tell me in which part of Japan I am exactly. Confirmation is needed if I'm expected to move around naturally without provoking suspicions.

Asking questions to the hospital staff would be my best option but the only person here was the nurse and she was busy with the other kids in the room. Raising my voice was also out of question, it's painful enough when I try to talk so it shouldn't be much a surprise if I got a sharp pain in my throat… Hmmm, what to do?

"Ngh…! It hurts"

Ah, it seems I have a room neighbor right next to me. How fortunate.

I turned my gaze slowly due the pain in my neck and I saw a little kid around my "age" – perhaps a year younger or so – with spiky red-auburn hair and hazel eyes. He looks kind of familiar if you ask me but I can't tell why. Meh, it doesn't matter.

I gritted my teeth as words came out of my mouth forcibly "Hey, kid…!" I said in a whisper filled with pain.

"Huh?" He met my gaze with a confused expression and blinked a few times. "… Are you talking to me?" The redhead asked me as if he thought my whisper was nothing but a mere illusion.

"Yes…" Nodding with a faint smirk, I tried once more to articulate words while making a great effort to ignore the pain in my throat. "I have… A question… For you"

"… Why is your voice so funny?" He asked innocently at me and I had to contain my lips to not frown at his rude question. Very smooth way to forge a companionship, kid.

"I'm wounded…" I replied with a deadpan look.

"Oh… Sorry"

I waved my hand dismissively at his poor attempt to apologize. "Don't sweat it… Tell me… What is… This place?"

"… A hospital?"

"…"

We both locked gazes at each other like a pair of hawks as I gave him a deadpan look and resisted the urge to facepalm myself due his naivety. Really now? That was your answer? You don't even see convinced yourself!

Maybe I should be more direct.

"I know… This is a hospital… What I want… Is its name" I grunted in annoyance and the kid got a look of realization before apologizing one more time.

"Ummm… I don't know"

Should have fucking guessed it, I mean he is just a kid who suffered from an accident like the rest of us so memorizing a hospital's name wouldn't be at the top of his priorities – Though he looks very healthy in my opinion. He didn't have a single scratch on his frame and yet here he was. Makes you wonder why he is interned here in the first place but I'm not gonna question the professionals or the staff.

On the other hand, since he is so willing to answer my questions without even blinking, maybe I could ask him what this city's name is.

"Do you at least… know the name… of the city?" It was an straight question and I admit I could formulate it better but something tells me this guy could be more dense than a rock.

Ah, now he is looking at me with an unsure gaze. I bet he must be thinking I'm a weirdo for making such a stupid question. Damn, he looks so familiar and yet I'm still unable to recognize him.

Auburn red hair styled á la Shounen Protagonistque… Hazel eyes… Staying in a hospital after suffering from an accident… Hmm… He looks like someone I know, but damn…!

Leaving this weird gut feeling aside, I began to daydream about the possibilities of being reborn in Japan. There are huge pros like buying different kind of Manga and seeing a great variety of Anime as a daily basis, and there are also the new consoles and games that are released only in Japan. As a Geek, this was something great.

Also, the possibility of being reborn in a world where magic is real (my [Status Screen] showcases MP for goodness sake!) there is another thin yet solid change of me getting reborn within a fictional universe like the To Aru Series or better yet JoJo Bizarre Adventure. I always dreamt of having my very own Stand!

However—!

Nothing prepared me for the next words that came out of this redhead kid's mouth. I will never forget what I felt after hearing those dreadful words that shattered my silly dreams and brought me down to a harsh and horrific reality.

"We are in Fuyuki City"

… Well shit.

Chapter END

Well, that's all for now folks. In the next chapter we will see the "official" introduction of a certain Fake Priest with the special presentation of a certain Magus Killer!

I will keep fixing the grammatical mistakes in this story (and the others as well) but I repeat, the story will not change so much, just the first chapters.

Though to be honest, with the fact that this account is manage by more than one person (including myself), I think it would be better if you refers as me as GMW [Omega] or simply OMEGA. I think this will facilitate things.
