"Ah, it's finally over..."
At eight in the evening, Akari stretched. She looked at the "happy ending" on the screen and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect this route to have two endings."
It took her a day to complete the second route of "Fate/Stay Night" by just looking at the strategy guide. She didn't stay up late, but with the Saber route, for which she had a strategy yesterday, Akari has been playing for two days.
"No, I can't play anymore."
Seeing the beginning of the third route, Akari sighed and said: "It takes too much of my time. I'd better wait until I have the chance to play it later."
In fact, she didn't want to play again after completing the first route, but she couldn't help but play the Unlimited Blade Works route out of curiosity, and the result was overwhelming.
If the Saber route is a simple story of love and justice that must triumph, then UBW explores human nature and dreams. The heroine of this route is Rin Toosaka. But it cannot be considered a love story. It is rather a story about the protagonist Shirou, from different eras, with different dreams and fighting each other.
Who would have thought that one of the seven heroic followers would be the future Shirou?
"Mirai-sensei has such an overflowing imagination!"
Akari exclaimed, but the reason she spent a day was not the unexpected plot, but the excitement of this route! Unlike the first, Unlimited Blade Works is thrilling!
It's clearly a simple game that doesn't require complicated operations and can be read with the mouse, but the impactful text, images, and music seem to be unpleasant. Akari was so excited when she sat in front of the computer and played this route. She didn't even have lunch.
As a child, she had never been so passionate, but after an exhausting day, the story ended. In addition to a feeling of fatigue, she also felt a sense of emptiness and exhaustion.
She realized that she could no longer continue playing. It seemed to have a kind of magic, and playing it was very harmful to her body.
After dinner, Akari strolled around Mirai-sensei's home forum. She discovered that the strategy for the third route had been published and that it also contained spoilers.
"Just copy the strategy."
Akari copied the strategy and saved it on her computer, intending to read it later. She didn't read the spoilers because she didn't dare. Once she read them, she would want to start playing the third route.
Recently, she was on her period and was afraid to play all night.
So Akari checked other people's comments at Mirai-sensei's home forum. Most praised "Fate/Stay Night". A game that cost 20 million yen can be made like this; no one is dissatisfied.
"I played this game with a critical attitude. After playing the first route, I think Mirai-sensei is really powerful!"
Posts with titles like this. Akari would be happy after reading them. Mirai-sensei is her idol. Seeing more and more people like him, Akari felt proud... She was the first reader to discover Mirai-sensei's strength.
Some comments also worried her greatly, like this: "After playing 'Fate/Stay Night', I realized that I have very little knowledge of the world's history and mythology."
This comment truly moved Akari.
From the second route of "Fate/Stay Night", the supporting roles become more important, and each character is well written. Akari likes the hero king Gilgamesh. She believes that the self-centered man is the most attractive.
At first, she thought this character was originally created by Mirai-sensei, but then she remembered that he really existed in mythology, and she was very surprised.
She couldn't help but reply to the post: "Mirai-sensei has always been very learned and talented; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to draw 'Detective Conan' or other manga, and his grades at school are also very good. He is undoubtedly a genius!"
After praising him for a while, Akari left the post and started reading the comments.
"Hahahaha, I see Gilgamesh dies in the second route again. I'm happy to see it. How can he pursue Saber?"
This post has a clear tendency to discredit the character. Akari felt a little uncomfortable. She opened the post and saw that the comments made her even more dissatisfied.
First floor: I agree. Gilgamesh is a scoundrel and a sanctimonious person. He deserves to die.
Second floor: Wave your claws! I can't stand this kind of man either, calling others "bastards" all the time. It's disgusting. I got so excited when Saber hacked him to death. Long live our king!
Third floor: Hero King! I think he should be called the Arrogant King!
Fourth floor: Arrogant King! Hahaha, what a great image... I really don't know why Mirai-sensei prepared such a disgusting character, and that Shinji makes me want to vomit!
The replies in the post were all curses against the characters. Akari, unable to bear it, replied: "Can you stop being shy? Mirai-sensei wrote Gilgamesh based on the legend. If the Hero King didn't have that arrogant personality, would he still be the Hero King?"
"True!"
As soon as she replied, many agreeing voices appeared below.
"Those who hate the King of Heroes must be boys. Are you jealous? Gilgamesh isn't a bad person. Calling others 'bastards' is also a manifestation of his personality."
"In fact, the King of Heroes feels very lonely. Saber is too cruel to reject him...".
"What he said when he was defeated by Saber... what a hateful woman! Are you going to rebel against me until the end? But I forgive you. Some things are more beautiful when you can't get them... Wow, how cool!"
As soon as these voices appeared, the post was filled with gunpowder.
"Saber is cruel! How dare you slander our goddess?"
"The Order of Knights come here and teach them a lesson!"
In less than two minutes, this post was occupied by a lot of people. Akari was furious. Do you think women are easy to bully?
"Sisters, come help!"
She attracted people from the Older Sisters Alliance, and the post immediately became a battleground, with the Older Sisters Alliance and the Order of Knights attacking each other. However, as the fight progressed, with their verbal confrontation, other characters from "Fate/Stay Night" were inevitably dragged in, and a magical turn occurred.
The Order of Knights and the Older Sisters Alliance gradually split into different factions, arguing for fifty or sixty pages, and the post became a hot topic throughout the site, attracting more readers to join the battleground and defend different characters.
The dispute became increasingly intense, and in the end, even the same character split into many factions. Like whether Saber should die as a king, and who was better, the current Shirou or the future, these became points of contention.
At one in the morning, the flames of war burned at Mirai-sensei's home, and battle posts spread to several sections. As a base camp, "Fate/Stay Night" was simply a bloody storm.
"How did it come to this..."
Looking at the battle posts with red titles on the screen, Akari felt a headache. She fell asleep, thinking she would be calm after a nap.
But when she woke up, she found an official banner at the top of the forum.
"Who is the most popular character in 'Fate/Stay Night'? Come fight!"
