Adapted from 'Fate/GPT' over on Spacebattles. In which a cabal of morally dubious xenos decide to create a 'False Moon-Cell' and throw a bunch of hand picked shmucks into it to do a Murder-Death-Kill. Hijinks ensue. Escalation occurs. Such is the na...
I stand alone on a platform, suspended within this False Moon-Cell's Digital Sea. The cosmic landscape stretches out before me, a vast expanse that defies human comprehension. As the Supervisor of the upcoming Grail War, I feel the weight of responsibility settle upon my shoulders, and I cannot help but contemplate the monumental task that lies ahead.
Throughout the True Moon-Cell's history, countless Holy Grail Wars had taken place, each with its own unique set of Masters and Servants vying for the ultimate prize. However, this time is different.
The memory is still fresh in my mind. "We have deemed it necessary to alter the very fabric of the Grail War. We shall meld it with elements from another realm. The result shall be a new, unfamiliar battleground that will undoubtedly challenge all who dare to participate. The results... you will see for yourself..."
To think, they still lingered yet. To think, they'd contact me of all Mages to oversee this war. No doubt they chose me for my skill, even so, I cannot help but wonder if they know of my Origin...
I laugh the thought off. It doesn't really matter. All that matters is the war, and what will come after.
As I stand here, the Digital Sea seems to respond to my thoughts, swirling and coalescing into a vision of the forthcoming Grail War. The images that flicker before my eyes hint at a brutal, unforgiving competition - one that will push the participants to their very limits. And yet, amidst the chaos and strife, I perceive the potential for profound growth, unexpected alliances, and perhaps even redemption.
As the vision fades out, my mind flickers back to them. Despite my enigmatic nature, I couldn't help but muse about the motives of my generous benefactors. Why had they chosen to stage such an unusual Grail War, and to what end? Were they merely testing the mettle of humanity, or was there a deeper purpose at play? I am aware that I am still not privy to all their secrets, but the foremost amongst them had entrusted me with a critical role, and I will not fail them. This task they ask of me is far too important for that.
As the Digital Sea continues to shift and change, my thoughts turn to the Masters yet-to-be. Each Master will bring their own unique strengths and weaknesses to the competition, their personal histories and motivations shaping their actions and decisions. Some will seek power or vengeance, while others will strive for knowledge, redemption, or even the salvation of the world. Whatever their reasons for entering the Grail War, it will be my duty to ensure that the competition remains fair and that the rules are upheld.
The Servants, too, will play a vital role in the unfolding drama. Drawn from the annals of history and the depths of myth and legend, they will lend their incredible power and skill to their chosen Masters. But even these mighty figures will be tested by the strange and unpredictable nature of the False Moon-Cell. Their true selves, their Noble Phantasms, and their ultimate goals will be revealed as they fight for supremacy within the digital domain of the False Moon-Cell.
As my contemplation draws to a close, I know that the time has come to set the wheels of fate in motion. The stage is set, the pieces are in place, and the Grail War will soon begin. As I stand on the precipice of this new era, I cannot help but feel a sense of awe and trepidation. The coming battle promises to be unlike any other Grail War before it, and the outcome remains shrouded in uncertainty. Yet, as I look out over the vast Digital Sea, I am reminded of the unyielding spirit of humanity and the countless heroes who have risen to meet the challenges of their time.
With a deep breath, I steel myself for the journey ahead, embracing my role as Supervisor. For within the depths of the Moon Cell, a new chapter in the story of the Holy Grail Wars is about to unfold, and I am determined to see it through to its conclusion, no matter what Fate has in store.
