The only thing I own in this story are my OC's, Fate/Zero belongs to it's rightful owner.

I hope you will enjoy.

2020 is a year that is bountiful in cataclysm and memes, due to covid-19 epidemic many people are forced to stay in their homes, so that virus won't spread. During one of these days struck by boredom and finished with saber wars farming session, I started activity that many fans of Fate probably partake in, servant creation. After frantic search on Wikipedia both English and in my native language, writing things and balancing whole project with help of my friend, I sat in my comfy chair and started imagining how I would fare in Murder – Death – Kill with aid of my personal "Satan" . Escapism is such wonderful thing isn't it? But of course nothing can last forever and I came to understanding with this truth personally when my dreams become my very new and very bloody reality. At least ROB is not merciless, look at the bright side they say.

It began with a pull on my navel, sharp pain spread throughout my body and finally I heard the voice.

-"Fill, Fill, Fill, Fill, each five times… fuck five? Eee, and….. break each when filled!" – and then there was blinding light and darkness enveloped me together with felling of falling.

-"Hey wake up, we don't have much time bum!"- I heard someone shouting straight into my ear.

-"I'm up, I'm up, no need to shout!"- I responded only to see I'm falling down in pitch blackness. –"What? Where am I? What is happening?"- I continued, only to hear voice from behind me.

-"Finally! You should be happy I even bothered to talk with you."- I heard when trying to turn around so I could face mysterious person. Only to see a man in pitch black suit, that had white hair and red eyes staring with amusement and pity at me while leaning on his cane.

-"W.. who are you?"- I asked terrified by his unnaturally colored eyes, unable to focus on anything else.

-"It is not polite to ask somebody for his/hers name before presenting yourself, but I guess we do not have time for politeness, don't we?"- as his worlds echoed in my head and the longer I gazed upon him, I was able to recognize him.

-"I am Zel…"—"You are Zelretch!"- I interrupted him rather loud.

-"So you do recognize me, this will surely speed things up! As you can see we are in rather crude portal."-

"Zelretch, chanting and portal it doesn't look good. I'm probably going to die!" I panicked in my thoughts. After my little attack of panic I could only ask:

-"Portal?"-

-"Yes portal that leads to your doom right now"- He said grinning so that his fangs could be seen.

-"Gulp! Doom?!"- I shrieked. And started hyperventilating, tears gathering in my eyes.

-"Yes doom now let me finish there is no much time left."- he said while whacking my head with his cane really hard I could feel my teeth and skull almost shattering. So I took a glance at him giving him my most hurt look, only to see the smug bastard grinning in full blown amusement, "No time my ass".

-"You know about Ryuunosuke Uryuu right?"- I nodded in affirmation.-" And you know he butchered summoning ritual for servants and originally got Caster."- another nod from me. –" You see now you are the one he summons."- wait what is not responding, shutting down.

-"Wait! What?!"- I shrieked grabbing his cane.-"No do something, you wield second magic right hijacking some portal should be easy right?"- I started shouting and trembling.

-"This would be a problem If you had been summoned as plain human and not as a master. You see I could help you if I hadn't promise to my students that I won't interfere with Grail Wars. Also, you see this version of our murder happy psychopath is not adequate as master, so Grail used his attempt at summoning to get booth suitable manabatery and servant in one go. There's no better felling than shooting two birds with one stone."-

-"So why are you here If you can't sent me home?"- I shrieked again louder. O, who knows Zel can grimace.

-"It's simple kid, I come to invest into my amusement, you see never before there was such situation, therefore like every good "apostle" I come to your aid so that my fun can continue and to prevent some undesirable things from coming true."- he ended in much darker tone.

-"And for that I need you to live. Ripples already spread too far."- he said now completely serious.

-"I have no choice do I?"- I asked after a moment. Gravity of my predicament sinking in.

-"Yes."- said Kaleidoscope his face stone cold.

-"Your servant is already waiting to be summoned, your catalyst was shockingly astounding,-"So my project works" I started thinking If I really written something that can be reflected/found in other reality.-looks like even someone mediocre like you can shine sometimes." – "Hey! I object! But what about me, I mean I need documents, money, knowledge about language, housing, food, some cool weapon so I can live!"- I asked rightfully worried about my well-being." If I'm going to die at least I want to have my last meal and spend my few final days in luxury, especially that there is no way out. I guess it's better to accept that this is real and start plotting rather than be bitten in the ass later."

-"Housing, money and documents are already waiting, and language we will fix that in a minute together with that meat bag you call body, have you ever considered diet?" – "Stuff it Gramps, it's not easy, ok?"- I said in anger, yep I'm not the most fit person but it doesn't mean I don't try to change!

-"You said fix my body?!"- I asked while trying to back off from him only to be yanked by my ankle.

-"Yes first we need to open your core?"- "Core?"-"Yes , magi of this dimension would have gotten a heart stroke, if they had known there is a plane where everybody has a magic core but no one uses magic."- He said laughing to himself as if seeing all magi in Clock-tower getting a stroke after hearing about this from him. –"Then I'm going install some knowledge into your brain and tweak your body up to the challenge."-

-"Will it hurt?"- I asked resigned yet hopeful.

-"Hurt HAHAHAH! Nothing of this sort!"- he said kindly. –"It's going to be pure agony!"- He said with a smile that would give Joker run for his money.

-"That's why before we start one last tinny thing, a little gift."- he said as if deciding if he should even say that. –

-"It's not gonna be one of this accursed sticks, right?"-

-"Nope, unfortunately I already send them on a mission. That's why you're are going to get these two things."- he said tossing two rings in my way. I could see that they were both silver but one had ruby and second one an sapphire, both gems engraved with Solomon's seal. A spark of recognition entered my eyes maybe their form is different but seal is unmistakable –" I suppose you know what these are, so now let us begin! Grail won't defeat itself!"- he finished jovially with my ankle still in his grasp. Guess what, pain came again with his best buddy darkness.

After two years since my first story.

I'm trying again.

Yes it's a self-insert story with OC servant that may/may not be OP.

But isn't fan-fiction a form of escapism and a way for fans to enjoy themselves?

But this time it's based on true hero and not my imagination.

This servant was made to drive of boredom but is well-made in opinion of my friend.

He has a lot of skill's because I used as much of his legend as I possibly could so bear with me.

I won't promise that this story will be something great but I hope some of you will like it.

Please also remember that English is not my first language so I will be making mistakes.

And story as a whole will be somewhat generic I think.

Also servants name won't be given out right, but for now I think it's obvious I ended up with Caster.

About power-ups there will be some but I'll try to tone them down, with such competition I can't see my self with out some help.

Zelretch persona and character is rly different in many fanfics that I read, some show him mostly as a prankster others as a Mastermind, I'll try to do his person justice but don't set you expectations high, I'm beginner after all.

And my jokes are probably bad but humor is humor right, right?!

Now I can only hope that you enjoyed and shall leave some constructive and positive feedback/suggestions.

Ps.

Before you ask this version of Zel was asked to stay out of war by his disciples and agreed to it.
