Chapter 2 – The fuck is happing
Shortly after being sucked into the vortex and thrown into a random portal, I lost consciousness and slided into a world still unknown to me.

[Ding Ding!!!]
I jumped up as a loud noise blared directly in my ears.
Only standing for like a second, I immediately fell over again like a complete idiot.
"Ouch," I muttered softly to no one in particular, annoyed at myself.
Confused about what was happening, I began to look around.
It was nothing like the white room we were just in.
Now, I found myself in a small open space, surrounded by fenced-in oaks, small bushes, and old-looking houses with old streets.
I was standing on an irregularly paved stone ground, with benches scattered around and an overturned, no-longer-full trash can nearby.
Between the embedded stones, small and large patches of weeds and other plants had sprung up.
It looked like a park.
And the first thought that came to my mind when seeing this view even slipped out of my mouth: "How did I end up in Bavaria?"
Only after this keen observation -I was very proud of it- did I realize I wasn't alone.
Six other people were standing nearby, one of whom was looking at me like I was an idiot.
Picture the look I gave him in return—a "Do you think I want to be here ahh?" expression.
Anyway, since I was already on my feet again, I took the opportunity to observe my new companions.
Allow me to introduce... I forgot everyone's names… hehehe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets start the introduction, no?
We have a small Indian boy, around 13, named Arjun. He's nice but pretty shy.
Then there's a French middle-aged man, about 56. He introduced himself as Pierre. Odd guy but likable... typical French.
Next, Rin, a Japanese girl who just turned 22. She's pretty and all, but not really my type… I think?
And Vladimir, from Russia, a funny and quick-witted guy. .....No, really, he was the one who kicked over the trash can. By the way, he's 39.
Then there's Tom and John, twins from America, both 20. They seem smart and quite forward-thinking—at least, as much as you'd expect from Americans.
Lastly, there's me. Ophias, 17, a fairly athletic man of culture and anime fan.
The people around me are amusing, and we actually get along pretty well.
Thank God there's no Chinese person here. Annoying and unfunny racists. No wonder the heroines always cheat on them xD.
Whatever....
Of course, no one revealed their abilities, as we didn't yet know if we'd end up as enemies. We hadn't received our mission yet, and nobody wanted to take unnecessary risks.
Don't think I'm one of those idiots who pretends to be clueless or play a"pig to eat the tiger"; I'll reveal a little once I know it's worth it… Anyway, I think it's starting.
(God, I´m reading to much chinese brainrot)
"Hey! Strangers, did you get this message too?" Vladimir yelled in my face.
"Don't yell like that!" I shouted back, fingers in my ears. Damn, that was loud…
But never mind, we did get a message.
[Dear Participants,]
[Welcome to your first mission, but don't think it'll be extra easy!]
[Mission: Defeat the opposing team.]
[Hint: You are Team Blue and will fight against Team Green in a 7 vs. 7 battle.]
[All the people around you will be your allies. Death is irrelevant, but at least one person must survive for your team to win.]
[You will soon be able to summon Servants from the Type-Moon universe, matched solely by compatibility. No class restrictions.]
[Reward: A random item, one Servant from the opposing team for every surviving member of the winning team, and one of the enemys´ abilities.]
[Note: The Master of the strongest Servant on the team will be the team leader. Their orders must be followed, no matter what they command.]
Shortly after we all finished reading the messages in our respective languages, we exchanged serious looks before being interrupted by an announcement.
{Welcome, mortals. You will soon begin summoning.}
{Note that Servants from the same team generally cannot attack each other… Good luck, and may fortune favor you!}
Moments later, we found ourselves in a semicircle, each spaced 10 meters apart, and we began summoning our Servants one by one.
Vladimir, amusingly, went first.
"I'll do everything I can," he said as a summoning circle appeared before him.
"We must be connected somehow, so answer me and serve."
The circle glowed with a dark green light, and shortly after, a darkly dressed man emerged from the summoning circle. He wore a suit with his famous felt hat, and over his greenish suit was a darker, also greenish cloak.
He looked at us grimly. His sharp eyes seemed to burn.
We didn't know what to say because the atmosphere became stifling, and we were standing outside, remember?. The aura was intense.
The first Servant now looked at his Russian Master.
"Are you my Master?"
Vladimir seemed intimidated but nodded nonetheless.
"Servant Edmond Dantes, Avenger."
Afterward, he transformed into his spirit form and disappeared.
If you haven't noticed, the summoning incantations here are different from the "normal" ones. What you say during the summoning is just what you feel as a connection.
You don't actually need to say anything, but we still do.
Anyway, Arjun was next, and surprisingly, he summoned someone from his own country from a bright red glowing summoning circle.
White, pale skin, lightly clothed, and matching white hair.
His mere presence warmed the surroundings, and his cloak seemed to burn eternally.
It was our favorite Lancer-class Servant, Albino Man... I mean Karna.
Rin summoned another Lancer from a normally glowing circle.
Cú Chulainn—this cockroach doesn't deserve my attention.
At least he's not a bad Servant.
And my French friend summoned Emperor (Kaiser) Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Yes, Nero, our favorite Emperor (Kaiser).
Interestingly, she was fascinated by the presence of the three previously summoned Servants and was full of energy to light a fire under the enemy team's… you know...fire...human torch....Nero? No? Whatever....
The two Americans summoned Robin Hood and Paracelsus from weakly glowing circles. Nice Servants, but not really worth mentioning.
Maybe Hood, but only because everyone knows his "heroic deeds."
Now it was my turn.
And I was genuinely afraid I'd summon trash.
"There's no way this'll work as I want," I said one last time, smiling as I began to speak the words that came to my mind.
"Whether alive or dead, the connection we share has its origin elsewhere. We are one—siblings, friends, Master and kin."
I paused when nothing changed in the circle.
"I am abhorrent, an anomaly. You are like me—flawed but existent. Come to me and serve me once more."
[Summoning fail—]
[Error. Due to –The Wanderer–, the summoning cannot be aborted.]
[–The Wanderer– is establishing a connection… ERROR… ERROR.]
[Connection to a specific being accepted. Proceed with summoning.]
"Oh, come to me, oh Mistress of the Abyss, Keeper of the Gate."
The summoning circle collapsed, replaced by a new, abnormal one. It had no patterns visible to the human eye, and the symbols were unreadable.
The circle pulsed with a dull heartbeat, signaling that something was about to happen.
Shortly after, black-violet tendrils burst from the ground, merging into rainbow colors and a black beam shooting into the sky.
The spectacle abruptly ceased when a little girl emerged from the circle, followed by a bundle of purple-black tentacles that soon receded.
A pair of sky-blue eyes stared at me, curious as to how I managed to summon her.
But before any questions could be asked, something unimaginable happened.
A global massage appeard, that could be heard by all humans beings in the Outer Realm.
{The Queen of the Abyss, Keeper of the Gate, has been summoned and now walks among mortals.}
"Did you summon me?"
I was confused, petrified, terrified, and overjoyed all at once.
But how was this possible? It should have been impossible to summon her here.
"H-how?" I stammered, speechless and intrigued.
"I'll ask you again. Are you my Master… Ophias?"
The little girl, about eight years old, looked at me curiously, her gaze strangely warm.
"Yes," I replied quickly and concisely. "But how do you know my name?"
"Why wouldn't I know it? Don't you know mine too… do you?"
The blonde-haired girl tilted her head and gave a sweet smile, though it didn't match the atmosphere in the slightest.
"Let's start over, Ophias. Are you my Master?" – I nodded.
"Good. Class: Foreigner… Abigail Williams."
But at that moment, Abigail's eye color changed from sky-blue to red-pink. Along with her eyes, her entire demeanor shifted—from something innocent, a child, to something evil. Something deeply, profoundly malevolent.
And while the rest of the team stood frozen,
Arjuna whispered softly, but everyone could hear him:
"A Monster."
"No, the monster is just on its way"
Abigail replied without even looking at us, her gaze directed in a certain direction.
"What monster, who's on the way?"
We all asked at the same time
"Green´s Assassin, very dangerous fairytale creatures that shouldn't actually exist"
My six allies began to shiver as they heard that.
"When will they be hear?" I asked...
"In about....now" was the last thing I heard befor the sky got darker and our environment became freezing cold.
A forrest started to appear around us, but it wasnt just any forrest, it was well known, the screams of pain in the distance and the lauthing of to children could be heard.
It became really dark around us, and the 6 became very hungry all of a sudden...
Then even worse, something like a melody started playing around us....We know it, we all do, but we cant remember.. "what is that" was something I asked.
"Assassins Reality Marble, they should´nt exist, they will be a big pain in the ass"
Was the answer of Evil Abigail (Final Ascansion).
"Who is assassin, you sound like you know them...?" asked Tom even if he is still scaired of Abigail...
"Do you know the fairy tail of...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
