Shirou POV

The last three weeks of summer passed by quick in that time range I've done a lot of criminal hunting to the point where some people have taken to calling me 'The Phantom' or 'Shinigami' because when I kill someone, I always made sure not to leave a single clue that left itself back to me only the bodies of criminals.

I also forged some more weapons creating more based off the few Noble Phantasms I had. I took Kiritusugu's origin bullets not all of them mind you I saved seven bullets in case I needed to use them against a master in the eventual future grail war and used the rest to forge a pair of short swords.

Using the two swords made out of Kiritsugu's former origin rounds became my favorite pair of weapons because of how deadly and effective they were in killing someone with just single cut. I even went so far as to give the blades additional effects that were similar to the yellow spear of Diarmuid Ua Dabine's own Gae Budhie making it so that not even the wound that would be inflicted by blades could ever be healed.

The end result of said weapons appearance was a blade of complete golden color mixed in with black while the handles were gold/black schemed. I had a weird sense of deja vu when I realized how similar the appearance was to that of Kanshou and Bakuya it was never my intention to forge the blades to look like them mostly because I didn't want to use them since those were the weapons of both Archer and the original Shirou not me. Ironically enough I had named the two blades Kiri and Tsugu paying tribute to the former Magus Killer.

I still haven't figured out how to implement my origin into my magecraft nor how to improve the Flash Air technique however I had begun borrowing books from the library to learn more about atoms themselves. I have theory that maybe I could somehow make the Flash Air work but remaking it to work with my origin if it works then I've just secured a technique to use against heroic spirits.

I have a lot on my plate here...and yet I still haven't figured out how I want to achieve immortality. I could probably replace parts of myself with Unlimited Blade Works. Which theoretically could grant me immortality but if I do that it might have some very negative effects on my psyche so that's a no. 

Then there's the corrupted grail which I can use only downside is that the rest of humanity goes bye-bye the moment I make the wish.  Lastly, I could create my own version of Avalon only tied to me instead of Artoria I would make it so that the sheath not only grants me unnatural healing but to halt my aging once I turn twenty-five.

I could probably go do the last option but..." 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲," came the familiar voice of my previous self. When I remember those words I felt a familiar spark of excitement, passion, and interest flow through me I wanted to see what other magics, cultures, nature, and creatures were out there not only in this world but in all others.
