Harrison is your average Fate fan with a "light" obsession with FGO. However with a Holy Grail of his own can he survive? See if he can become one of the seven core masters, with his first of many servants Artoria Pendragon (Alter), or will his name...
When Harrison turned the car over the radio sprang to life. The beginning sounds of an acoustic guitar began to reach his ear, he quickly changed the channel laughing awkwardly to himself. "No no, not today," he said with a sorrowful smile under his breath.
Harrison arrives at his school around 20 minutes later, thankfully living relatively close by. Given that school doesn't start until 7 am, but Harrison always chooses to arrive early, as to him "If someone needs me I rather be there than not." Though no one really cares to ever talk to him, leading to him often spending his time chilling in his car, in the parking spot assigned by the school with his thoughts.
Therefore quite predictably he arrives at the parking lot alone, not another soul in sight, he lets out a sigh and parks his car into his spot before turning it off and relaxing back in his seat. "Welp I got some time to kill guess... I'll do something," Harrison says the tone of his voice rising at the end of the sentence as if it was a question. Thankfully he is not alone for long as more cars begin to filter in, filling the parking lot. It is at this point that the world begins to fade out for Harrison as he begins to get lost in his thoughts. The droning sounds of vehicles and people talking as the busses begin to slowly pull in, the hiss of their air brakes melding into the dream Harrison begins to have with his eyes wide open.
His mind is assaulted by the smell of flowers, and the smell of morning dew. He opens his eyes and they are immediately stabbed by the powerful sunlight. Harrison squints beginning to look around at his surroundings. "This is new," he mumbles to himself pushing himself from the soft grass. The only notable thing in the field of flowers and utter serenity is a sword he knows well. "Excalibur Alter," he mutters under his breath and the black and red sword pulses at the mention of its name (image below). Subconsciously, he begins making his way toward the sword and it seems to glow brighter as he approaches. The cool leather feels nice in his grip.

The scene fades instantly from his mind as the blaring sound of the bell dismisses his thoughts, the sensation of cold leather quickly fading from his grasp. "Damn, welp I better get shmoving," Harrison says with a sigh as he grabs his bag off of the passenger seat, and sets off towards his first class, pre-calculous. As he is walking towards his class he sees plenty of different students a couple could easily pass as stand users he thinks to himself with a small smile. Though there is one group of three that makes him grimace as they pass. John, Cassidy, and Gwenivere with them a long story follows for certain. John is a man who has messy brown hair and is only ever seen in the same grey hoodie that he wears every day, not to mention his sunken eyes that are perpetually bloodshot. Cassidy a relatively tall woman with dyed brown hair who is well shaped and is wearing a black pencil skirt with a dark green sweater. Lastly, Gwenivere who had recently cut her hair to a weird length that made it look like she cut it herself in her bathroom, in her trademark stained black graphic tee she clearly couldn't care less about being seen in.
Gwenivere and John's story go hand in hand. In essence, they had both hurt Harrison a lot. Gwenivere his ex-girlfriend who seemed to turn the world against, him framing him for the actions she took herself, and John the man (her current boyfriend) she had cheated on Harrison with.
Originally when Gwenivere had asked for a break, Harrison didn't often check on Gwenivere as she asked to have her space, but whenever he did she would relate how perfect her life was and how she hasn't felt better since they stopped seeing each other. This led to Harrison eventually settling on the fact that they had broken up permanently, as if Gwenivere was this happy without him in her life it should stay this way. This break is where John comes in. As Harrison soon found out that Gwenivere was secretly fucking him on the side, while being in a "relationship" with him. This came to light as Harrisons' friends would tell him all about her seeming obsession with John suddenly. Then came the rants and the yelling as Gwenivere found out that "they broke up," when to Harrison it was clear from the moment she said she wanted a break that things were over. She made sure the whole school knew about how Harrison wasn't patient enough with her throughout the relationship, and didn't understand her mental illness. Stating contrived falsities that he had pressured her to ditch her friends and only spend her time around him. When she was the one who forgot about him on two separate occasions, leaving him to wait in the rain alone on one such occasion.
It was the coming weeks from that in which he truly felt alone, he couldn't shake the feelings of being watched and ignored as his peers alike seemed to try and dodge him, except for a select few. It was then that he became enthralled in his passions, he had to let go of Gwenivere, as he threw himself into his drawings and games like Fate Stay Night, all to escape the hollow and lonely feeling he couldn't escape at school.
"Hey, you there H.R," a sweet voice pulls him from his horrid spiral. When his mind finally catches up to him he notices his friend Vikari, a short girl with clear Irish descent evident from her blazing red curly hair. She was a petite girl who typically dressed in professional attire, especially today as she was in a cute white blouse with a sailor blue blazer and a mint green skirt. "Oh yeah sorry was I zoned out again," Harrison tries to laugh off. She tilts her head to the side as she points to Harrison's face, "Are you sure, your eyes seem to be leaking a bit."
