Author: Cat-Eared Ji
Synopsis:
Countless Heroic Spirits descended upon modern Earth, ushering in the Age of Heroes.
Yet no one knew that Wei Gong, Alaya's most beloved Nameless Heroic Spirit, had once traveled through various eras and Singularities—
When Joan was burned at the stake, he fought desperately to save her.
When King Arthur and Mordred were being a loving father and daughter, he tried to break up their quarrel.
When the First Emperor sought an elixir of immortality, he guided him.
In Oath Under the Snow, he fought for his little sister, traversed seven endings in one night, and ended the Holy Grail War.
In the Absolute Demonic Battlefront, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the King of Heroes against Humanity's Evil, Tiamat.
In the Temple of Time: Grand Order, he taught Goetia the final magecraft on the doctor's behalf.
When everything finally ended, Wei Gong sacrificed everything he had to restart Earth. After completing his mission as the savior, he returned to a peaceful daily life.
Then Alaya published the [Biography of the Nameless Heroic Spirit], exposing him!
Now everyone knew about the Nameless Heroic Spirit who had silently protected humanity!
As Wei Gong watched the video, he seemed to hear a demonic voice—
"Master, you can't rest yet~"
★ Volume One ★
September 10, 2020, Friday.
Dragon Kingdom, Fusang State, Fuyuki City.
Inside an ordinary apartment building, a handsome and exceptionally good-looking young man bustled around the kitchen with an apron tied around his waist.
Once he had prepared a sumptuous breakfast, Wei Gong knocked on the bedroom next door. "Aya, you have three minutes. If you don't get up, I'm spanking you!"
"Eek... mmm..."
A vague, unintelligible mumble came from the bedroom.
"You laze in bed every single day!"
Wei Gong let out the sigh of an old father, feeling that he had brought this upon himself.
He was clearly a seventeen-year-old beauty in the prime of youth. Why had he gone and raised a daughter?
He sat on the living-room sofa and watched the daily news playing on the LCD television—
"The Lighthouse Country's Council of Gods has announced a reconciliation with the Xiongnu and accelerated the withdrawal of its troops!"
"King Arthur and the Knight of the Lake, Lancelot, have shaken hands and made peace. Prime Minister Mordred's expression is complicated..."
"The King of Heroes of Sumer has declared that the King of Conquest is only fit to be his subject. The King of Conquest responded by showing off his muscles in displeasure. War in the Middle East could break out at any moment!"
"Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming has arrived in the Sakura Islands and met with Xu Fu, governor of Fusang State, to discuss 2022..."
The young man quietly watched the familiar figures on the screen. He reached out as if to touch them, then lowered his hand and sighed softly.
This was the era in which Heroic Spirits were born and mythology continued in reality.
Countless beings from history and mythology lived on the world stage as Heroic Spirits, driving countless people into fascination and madness.
But no one knew.
There had once been a Nameless Heroic Spirit who had sacrificed everything to create this prosperous, dazzling Age of Heroes.
Walking through the river of history, Wei Gong had witnessed it all with his own eyes and personally taken part in the entirety of Human History—
The saintess burning fiercely in the flames, the young girl drawing the Sword in the Stone, the arrogant oldest king provoking the gods, the Eternal Emperor traveling east in search of immortality...
Oath Under the Snow, the Absolute Demonic Battlefront, the Temple of Time: Grand Order...
He had been there for all of them!
He had really been there!
As Alaya's most beloved Nameless Heroic Spirit, he had crossed all of Human History, fought alongside powerful Heroic Spirits, and drunk with them in celebration.
When he sacrificed everything he had to make a wish upon the Holy Grail of Stars and repair the shattered planet,
that gentle Junior Schoolmate said in an even gentler voice, "Farewell, Senpai. May you find a harbor where you can rest!"
The unscrupulous merchant who had always loved tricking people instead smiled with incomparable gentleness. "Your journey is over. You can rest now, Master."
Since this was a journey, it was bound to have an end.
"A weary soul rests within a woven fairy tale. If we get the chance to meet again, don't forget to treat me to strawberry cake~"
The otaku who loved chasing virtual idols waved goodbye to him.
Everything had finally ended.
After crossing six thousand years of Human History and sacrificing everything he had to restart Earth, he had finally completed his mission as the savior and returned to a peaceful daily life.
This had not been a simple sacrifice of his spiritual foundation. He had sacrificed everything he was, erasing the very concept of his existence.
The Nameless Heroic Spirit who had once saved the world vanished from everyone's memories. No one could ever remember him again!
After everything was restarted, the name "Emiya" was erased as a concept. He changed it to Wei Gong, symbolizing that everything was a brand-new beginning.
He had worked for Alaya's 007 operation and served as a savior for who knew how many years. He had more than had his fill of being the Justice Partner.
In this life, he only wanted to be an ordinary high school student and enjoy a warm, peaceful youth.
Wei Gong lay lazily on the sofa, listening to a slightly melancholic song playing on his phone—
"Summer's end with you, our dreams for the future, our great hopes—we won't forget them. Believing that we'll meet again in August ten years from now..."
secretbase~Everything You Gave Me~
Whenever he heard this song, Wei Gong felt that it resembled his own experiences, so he had deliberately set it as his ringtone.
He had given everything for humanity. It was only right that he enjoy a peaceful daily life now.
Everything was peaceful, except...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wei Gong pounded on the bedroom door. "Luo Ya, if you don't get up right now, I'm confiscating your phone for good. You'll never get to play again!"
Having to battle wits with this little brat every day left him extremely annoyed.
"I'm coming!"
A soft, nasal voice came from the bedroom, and a little girl with blonde twin tails emerged.
She had just woken up and was wearing only an oversized pajama top, leaving a large expanse of porcelain-white skin exposed.
Her slender legs, wrapped in white stockings, kicked at her slippers carelessly.
Wei Gong reached out and pinched her soft, tender cheek. "Hurry up and eat. You're going to be late!"
She was cute, certainly, but she acted like a completely different person at school and at home.
Originally, she had been a gentle and kind little angel.
But after accidentally opening a mobile game one day, she had instantly become a fallen angel.
She was exactly like that useless angel, Gabriel!
"Waaah, no way, you pervert! I'm not a child anymore!"
Luo Ya puffed out her cheeks angrily.
"Heh. Come back and talk to me when you can wake up without me calling you and make me a delicious breakfast yourself." Wei Gong casually sat back down on the sofa and continued watching the news.
"Hmph! You're a pervert who likes little girls!"
Luo Ya rolled her eyes.
She casually glanced at the television screen and recited in an aria, "This is the best of times; this is the worst of times. The Heroic Spirits have stepped onto the stage of history, while mortals can only worship them as though gazing up at the gods!"
"The Heroic Spirits have nothing to do with you... Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat!"
Wei Gong paused slightly. His expression grew increasingly exasperated, and he looked as though he was one kick away from sending her flying.
"Hmph! I wish I could become a Heroic Spirit. Then I could have anything I wanted! Would I still need to count every penny every day?"
The little girl dragged her feet toward the bathroom, grumbling as she went.
"You want to become a Heroic Spirit..."
Wei Gong's expression suddenly became very strange.
He was rather looking forward to seeing the expression on this brat's face when she learned his true identity.
She would probably be left completely dumbfounded, questioning her entire existence.
But all of that was in the past.
He was no longer the Nameless Heroic Spirit who walked through Human History, drinking with one hero after another.
I, Wei Gong, only want to be an ordinary high school student!
After breakfast,
the two of them headed to school together with their backpacks on.
Along the streets, Heroic Spirit posters could be seen everywhere.
"Oh my gosh, when will I ever get to meet these Heroic Spirits up close?"
Luo Ya switched to her public persona and walked demurely beside him, yet kept bombarding him with words.
"When you become an important person someday, you'll be able to meet these Heroic Spirits."
Wei Gong thought for a moment, then added emphatically, "And don't buy any more Heroic Spirit figurines or posters!"
"But you'd never care about such a minor expense if you were a wealthy Heroic Spirit like the King of Heroes!"
Luo Ya pouted slightly.
She quickened her pace and walked toward her classmates, who were waiting on the other side.
Behind her, Wei Gong shook his head. "The King of Heroes? Once you truly understand him, you'll realize he's even stingier than I am. He wants everything!"
All right, it was time to enjoy another wonderfully peaceful day.
A life without blood-soaked battles was wonderful!
Meanwhile,
after Luo Ya entered the classroom with her friends, she casually took out her phone.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that the top-ranked video on the pink app was—
[Biography of the Nameless Heroic Spirit!]
[No one knows your name, but your achievements will live forever!]
She glanced at the uploader—
[Alaya]
