Some Explanations for This New Atlas [Free]
This chapter is some explanation of this new otherworld, readers who have seen anime, anime, manga, and played this game, please ignore the content of this chapter.
This chapter is for those who have not read the Holy Grail War, and provides some necessary explanations and explanations of terms.
The Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that fulfills all wishes of its holders, and the ritual of obtaining the Holy Grail is known as the Holy Grail War. The seven magicians chosen by the Holy Grail to participate in the Holy Grail War are called Masters and make a pact with seven servants called Servants.
They are seven Heroic Spirits chosen by the Holy Grail, divided into seven ranks and summoned as Servants. Only one group could get the Holy Grail, and each of the seven groups killed each other in order to be the last one.
"Heroic spirits" are the beings of heroes whose great deeds have been left behind after death and have become the object of faith. Often, the Heroic Spirits are summoned by the "world" as a force to protect humanity. And what "humans" are calling is the Servant.
That being said, "Heroic Spirits" are not beings that humans can control, and humans must use "Holy Grails" or something with similar powers in order to summon them. The "Servant System" in Fuyuki City, Japan, relies on the power of the Great Holy Grail to summon Heroic Spirits.
The Heroic Spirit summoned as a Servant is a "clone" made using the information of the "Heroic Spirit" itself, a replica of the same thing. Of course, Zhao Yunjie was summoned in the form of a physical body, and could not be spiritualized. This is somewhat similar to Gilgamesh after receiving power from the Holy Grail and blackening.
Although it has been explained that "heroic spirits" are the beings of heroes who gather faith after death, even if they do not actually exist, heroes in myths and legends are born by gathering faith.
In addition, there are people who make certain contracts with the "world" during their lifetime and become heroic spirits after death.
Beings who become "Immortal" will be freed from the constraints of time and move to the Constellation of Immortal, which is located on the outer side of the world.
"Heroic Spirits" are beings detached from the timeline and will be called in all ages, past and future. But the only thing that can summon the Heroic Spirit itself is the "world". Unfortunately, "humans" cannot summon the Heroic Spirit itself, and can only summon the Servant as a clone.
The information (soul) that makes up the Servant will return to the Servant's hands at the same time as when he dies, and the Servant can be recorded as if he were reading a book.
The abilities of the Heroic Spirit are summarized as: Strength, Endurance, Agility, Magic, Luck, and Treasure.
What follows is an explanation of some terms in this other world. After reading it, you may have some understanding of this otherworld. Of course, you don't have to read it, because in the following, I will try to write it so that people who haven't watched the anime can understand it.
The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City: Once in 60 years. The Holy Grail can be found in Fuyuki City. It has the power to make any wish come true immediately. Only one group of Masters and Servants have been given this power. This is the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. However, it is essentially a huge ritual system planned by the Einzberen family, the Tosaka family, and the Maki family in order to reach the "roots".
Little Grail: A prize for the winner of the Holy Grail War. In fact, it is nothing more than a device for the soul of a dead servant, and a necessary equipment for the achievement of the third magic.
The Great Holy Grail: A large-scale magic circle built underneath Mt. Enzang, where the Ryudong Temple is located. This array has the duty to draw the magic necessary for the ritual from the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, and store it. [Note that this spirit vein is not a fairy spirit vein, but a magic spirit vein.] 】
The third magic: the magic that has been handed down since ancient times by the Einzberren family. Also known as the "Cup of Heaven". It is the "materialization of the soul". That is, it is used to achieve true immortality.
Finally, to explain the course of the Holy Grail War.
1: Absorb mana from the leylines.
The Great Chalice draws its magic from the leylines of Fuyuki City. If the huge amount of magic is violently captured, it will lead to the depletion of the leylines, which will attract the attention of the Japanese government. Therefore, it is essential to take time to move forward slowly. It takes about 60 years to gather the magic needed for 1 Holy Grail War.
2: Select the master.
After storing enough mana to summon seven Servants, the Grand Chalice selects a magician suitable to become a Master and grants the Mole of Omen. The Alternates must quickly begin preparing for the ritual of summoning the Servants.
3: Summoning Ritual.
Summoning the Servant requires a complex magic ritual. As the archetype, the Heroic Spirit and the summoner are self-explanatory in spirit and **, but the most important thing is that they are the catalyst with a deep relationship with the Heroic Spirit. Summoning the Servant is a ritual beyond the reach of humans, but the assistance of the Great Grail makes it possible.
4: The Contact of the Great Grail.
When a summoning ritual is performed, the Grand Grail connects to a location called the "Throne of the Immortal" outside of the usual timeline to find the Immortal spirit that corresponds to the catalyst used in the ritual. In the absence of a catalyst. Heroic spirits are selected at random, but the summoner's personality and circumstances will also be affected. When summoned, in exchange for the present world, the Heroic Spirit is forced to "obey the Spell Absolutely".
5: Engrave a spell for the Master.
The Master seat is on a first-come, first-served basis. From the moment the seven Servants are called, the remaining candidates will be disqualified. In addition, the person who successfully summons will be granted a spell corresponding to the Servant. The source of the power of this spell is also the Great Holy Grail.
6: Summon the Servant.
Once the summoning is successful, the Heroic Spirit appears in the form of a Servant. At this point, you will be assigned to one of the 7 ranks. As a general rule, there is one Servant for each rank. The rank to which they were assigned. It is determined by the characteristics of the Heroic Spirit as the prototype.
7: The Master and Servant contract.
As the "support" of the Servant in the present world, the Master is indispensable. With the help of the master-slave contract, the two sides became partners in the Holy Grail War.
8: The beginning of the war.
When you collect all 7 sets of Masters and Servants, the Holy Grail War begins. The war will not end until only the last group remains, and there is no forbidden means in this war as long as the minimum rule "Mysterious Concealment" is observed. Violence, resourcefulness, and despicable traps are all allowed.
9: Recovering the Servant's soul.
The souls of Servants who are defeated or unable to sustain themselves after losing their Master will be recovered by the Little Chalice and held until the end of the war. The souls of the Servant collected will complete important tasks in the final stage of the ritual performed by the Great Grail.
10: The Road to the Roots.
The "root", which is the destination of all magicians, is considered to be the "seat of God that exists outside the world at the beginning and end of all things, records everything in this world, and makes everything in this world." During the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the souls of the six dead Servants were poured into the Little Grail, and the power of their return to the "Throne of the Valhalla" located outside the world was used to pierce the world, and the huge magic accumulated in the Great Holy Grail was used to secure the hole to create a door to the outside world.
This is the true purpose of the Holy Grail War, and from a system perspective, the Masters who have been fished by the Holy Grail is Wish Machine are nothing more than the support needed by the Servant, and they will be useless after the Servant summoning phase has passed.
