Chapter 1

Emiya Shirou, mostly known as Archer if any stranger were to ask his name, is a heroic spirit. To be more specific, a Counter Guardian.

Does he like being a Counter Guardian? No, it makes him do things that he wishes he had not. He'd rather be a regular heroic spirit- or human- but that is beside the point.

The point is he has been summoned but he has no master. Well, he does have a master but his master is not in the estate he was summoned in.

The house he was summoned in was so empty, there weren't any signs of life in it. He could tell it was an estate of some sort because it had a dojo and many other rooms. It reminded him of his old home.

Let us move on.

In all honesty, his first thought was that his master most of died during the summoning. Which meant that he had only a few days before he would disappear without a trace.

That was not the case.

One week later and he was still alive and in perfect health. There was no sign of fatigue, there was no pain. He felt like he could fight an army if needed.

Strange.

After spending so much time in his spirit form he materialized and began to explore.

The house was dusty- of course. Most of the rooms were empty. The kitchen was in good condition and he found out that the electricity and water pressure still worked.

Huh.

He explores more.

The dojo is the same as most of the rooms, covered in a layer of dust. There is a closet filled with weapons. Some of them are practice swords made of wood. There are also various throwing knives. At the back of the closet, he finds what looks like a training dummy.

He leaves the dojo to explore the west side of the estate.

The west side of the estate is more furnished. There are two bedrooms. One is obviously meant for a child and the other is a master bedroom. He doesn't linger too long in either of them.

The last door leads down towards a basement. Before Shirou opens it he sees what looks like ink marking on the door. He tries to open the door and it doesn't budge at all.

Alright, we'll leave that one for another time.

He spends the next few days cleaning because come on he doesn't care if he is the only one here, this place is filthy and needs to look like someone lives in it. Not only that, it's a habit for him.

The next few days after are spent exploring the area around the estate. The estate is surrounded by trees, in a nice secluded area. There is a pond nearby and what looks like what was supposed to be a garden. There was also a shed, which had similar ink marking like the door to the basement did.

It doesn't open.

The next day is spent actually searching the house and taking inventory. No groceries, there are few clothes in the two bedrooms, and the dojo is filled with dull weapons. That's it.

By then two weeks have gone by since he has been summoned. So he decides to go beyond the small forest surrounding the estate. It doesn't take long since he traveled in spirit form. He managed to travel quickly and break through the trees without being noticed.

To see a village.

Apparently, he and the estate was still in village limits. The forests seemed common in this village and it was bigger than he thought. He hums to himself.
