角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
高舉雷槍的神明陷入瘋狂，在那以「紛爭」為名的戰役，男人同夥伴給予那瘋神最後的解脫。
在那爭奪「理性」火種的辯論場，男人與昔日恩師對峙，見證殘酷的處刑。
登上「天空」的戰場，男人踏上彩虹橋，以烈陽之光穿透陰霾，照亮兇險的前路。

「救世主，帶領吾等前進吧。」
聽到織者欣慰的話，他心中更多的是苦澀。但在眾人面前，他不願表露擔憂。

身受萬死的王儲踏上歸鄉的路，將懸鋒族人交託於他。
「放心，我會替你照顧。」
分裂千身的先知磨損殆盡，他接過啟程前立下的誓言。
「緹寶老師，我會去見證..那星月滿天的明日。」
學者為真理奔赴死亡，聖女擁抱孤獨的命運。
「下一世，真理定會解明，死生..將有序流轉。」
織者安眠於黃金的浴池，捷足的俠盜帶著遺憾停下腳步，永駐天空的醫師再也無法回到大地。
「以身為薪柴，我會.成為照亮新世界的烈火。」

男人無法流淚，只能憑著心中的劇痛，將回憶刻入腦海。
他背起萬眾的心願，朝著朝陽升起的山巔蹣跚前行。

他相信，終有一日，曙光會穿透翁法羅斯的長夜。

「但倘若黎明從一開始就不存在......」
曾經，他千百次問過自己這個問題。
如今，向著那熾熱酷烈的終點，男人刻下「白厄」的最後一筆——

「那就讓怒火燃盡此身，化作明日的烈陽！」

The god who wielded the Lightning Spear fell into madness. In the battle named Strife, the man and his comrade gave the mad god the final release.
In the debate where the Coreflame of Reason was contested, the man faced down his old mentor and witnessed a brutal execution.
On the battlefield of the Sky, he crossed the rainbow bridge, piercing the gloom with the burning light of the sun, lighting the perilous road ahead.

"Deliverer, lead us forward."
Hearing those words of relief from the weaver, he felt only a bitter ache, a worry he refused to show in front of the crowd.

The crown prince of Kremnos, scarred by a thousand deaths, entrusted his people to him.
"Don't worry. I'll look after them for you."
The seer, her body split into countless pieces, faded away, and he took up the oath she had sworn before her journey.
"Miss Tribbie, I will live to see that morrow filled with the radiance of stars..."
The scholar raced toward death in search of truth. The Holy Maiden embraced her lonely fate.
"In the next life, truth will be revealed, and life and death will find their rightful place."
The weaver found eternal rest in a golden bath. The fleet-footed rogue stopped in regret. The healer who once roamed the skies would never again return to the earth.
"With my body as kindling, I will become the blaze that lights the new world."

The man could not shed tears, but used these searing pains to carve such memories into his mind.
Bearing the hopes of all people, he staggered toward the mountain peak where the morning sun rises.

He believed that, one day, the dawn would break through the endless night of Amphoreus.

"But should dawn have never existed..."
He had asked himself that question thousands of times.
Now, heading toward the blazing, merciless end, he carved the final mark of "Phainon"—

"Then let my fury consume me and turn myself into tomorrow's burning sun!"

角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
如往日千萬次所經歷的那樣，他於火光中再次看見——

哀麗秘榭的清晨，朝陽的光輝照耀在村莊的麥田。

「好像…做過無數次這樣的夢……」
在樹下醒來的男孩揉著惺忪的睡眼。

夢中，太陽墜落，英雄的造像崩塌，融化，碎裂，將世界燒成一片灰燼。
在一片死寂中，那形如焦炭的熟悉身影踽踽獨行，朝著漫無止盡的黑暗走去。

「那個身影燃燒自己…但也燃盡周圍所有的一切……」
男孩怔怔地看著那尚未完成的木雕，夢中那刺骨的憤怒與對自我的憎恨仍在震動著他的心。
「這樣的世界…正在呼喚著英雄的到來吧……」

「未來會是什麼樣的？」
枕在那金黃的麥草上，男孩眼前浮現出跌宕起伏的史詩故事。
「也許，即將到來的英雄漫遊四方，行俠仗義，解決過無數棘手的難題，卻從不留名……
「身負神秘的過去，對抗荒謬的命運，戰勝可怕的敵人。
「當世界陷入危難，便會以至誠的心踐行誓言，所到之處，總是帶來和平與繁盛……
「哪怕百次，萬次，千萬次…英雄可以被毀滅，但絕不會被打敗……」

……

如果一切未曾改變。
哀麗秘榭的日子仍舊靜靜流淌，如過去千萬次那樣。
那朵微弱的火苗，啟程之初便已種進他的心裡。
當男孩成為少年，再一次站在渡口，再一次向著遠方啟行。
他會馬上奔向未來，忘記那些支離破碎的夢。
他不會知曉這趟旅程有多遙遠，直到成為熊熊燃燒的薪柴，去壯大那徒勞的火焰。
到達終點時，他才會得知自己已行過漫長的路。

最後一次，他回想起那個朝陽初升的時刻，自己曾刻下理想的雛形，在往後的歲月里，他將為它取另外一個名字——「救世主」。

而他自己的名，就此在記憶中零落。

As he had countless times before, he once again saw it through the blaze —

Morning light pouring over the wheat fields of Aedes Elysiae, bathing the village in a golden glow.

"Feels like... I've had this dream a thousand times before..."
The boy rubbed his sleepy eyes as he woke beneath the tree.

In the dream, the sun fell from the sky, the statue of a hero crumbling, melting, shattering, consuming the world in flames.
In the dead silence, a familiar figure, charred and broken, trudged alone into the endless darkness.

"That figure burned itself away... and everything else around it too..."
The boy stared blankly at the unfinished wooden carving. The searing anger and deep self-loathing from the dream still echoed through his heart.
"Maybe that broken world... is calling out for a hero..."

"What will the future look like?"
Lying back on the soft, golden straw, the boy pictured an epic tale unfolding before his eyes.
"Maybe the hero will roam the world, righting wrongs, solving impossible problems, yet leaving no name behind..."
"Carrying a mysterious past, defying a cruel fate, and vanquishing fearsome enemies."
"When the world teeters on the brink, they'll honor their vow with a heart pure and true — wherever they go, peace and prosperity will follow..."
"Even if they fall a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times... A hero can be destroyed, but never defeated..."

...

If nothing had changed...
The days at Aedes Elysiae would have continued to drift by quietly, just as they always had.
That tiny ember had already been planted deep in his heart at the start of his journey.
When the boy grew into a young man, when he once again stood at the ferry, setting out toward distant lands...
He would rush toward the future, forgetting the broken dreams he left behind.
He wouldn't realize how long and arduous the road ahead would be — not until he had used himself as the kindling to feed a futile flame.
Only when he reached the end would he learn how far he had come.

One last time, he would remember that morning when the sun first rose and who he was when he carved the first shape of his ideals. In the years to come, he would give that person a new name: "Deliverer."

And as for his own name, it would slowly scatter and fade from memory.

角色詳情
孤獨的英靈走過命運的長夜， 圓桌的旗幟仍在夢中舒展。卡美洛的騎士之王，此時尚未抵達理想鄉。
仍是少女的她於這場特殊的「聖杯戰爭」中應召前來，當再度面臨石中劍的抉擇，她將如何突破過往的幻境？
——「我未實現的願望，也將在此作結。」  

Character Details

The solitary Heroic Spirit traverses the long night of fate. The banner of the round table remains unfurled in a dream. Alas, the knight-king of Camelot has yet to reach that ever-distant utopia.
Though still a young maiden, she has heeded the call for this most unique iteration of the Holy Grail War. With the Sword in the Stone offering its choice once more, how shall she shatter the illusions of the past?
"The wishes I did not fulfill will end here."

角色故事•一（解鎖條件：角色等級20）
如果哲學家所說的理想國需要一位統治者，那麼眼前的這位少女或許就是不二之選。以天下人的幸福生活為奮鬥目標，她終其一生都以鋤強扶弱作為自己的行動指南。譬如說，她所率領的騎士之所以被稱為「圓桌」，乃是強調王與騎士一概平等……

「太囉嗦了。這裡不應該寫一些更有用的話嗎？」

此話不假。
對王而言，國家的繁榮與和平才是唯一重要之事。與此相比，個人的奮鬥、榮辱，都不過是為了實現這一目標而落下的棋子。可微妙之處在於——如今的她乃是一名「從者」，是從遙遠歷史的長河中照進現實，依賴諸多神秘才得以存在於世的特殊生命。

故國的興衰早已寫進書本的歷史，王也曾經試圖將其改變…但正如那句古老諺語所說，天下沒有免費的午餐。歷經諸多波折之後，少女終於收穫一顆能夠坦然面對過往的心……

「等等，誰說我豁達到沒有遺憾了？
「不過，為此而尋求許願的聖杯，的確是一種愚行。
「唯有走過漫長的道路，理想鄉才會真正來到一個人的面前。
「否則，即便它近在眼前，也根本無從得知。」  

Character Story: Part I

If the ideal kingdom the philosophers' speak of needs a ruler, then the girl before you might just be the perfect choice. Devoted to the hapiness of all, she has lived by one creed: to defend the weak and challenge the strong. Her knighthood, for instance, was called the "Round Table" to embody one principle: The king and knight stand as equals...

"Too long-winded. Shouldn't this space be used for something more useful?"

Fair enough.
For a king, only the nation's peace and prosperity truly matter. Personal struggle, pride, and shame are nothing more than chess pieces laid upon the board to achieve that aim. But here lies the twist: She now walks the world as a Servant, a special lifeform summoned from the distant tides of history, sustained only by layers of Mystics.

The rise and fall of her homeland have long etched into the pages of history. The king once tried to change its fate... But as the old saying goes: There's no such thing as a free lunch. After all she's endured, the girl finally gained a heart at peace with the past...

"Wait, who said I'm so optimistic that I lack all regrets?"
"But chasing the Holy Grail just to fulfill that desire... yes, that was indeed foolish."
"It's only by walking the long road that paradise ever truly reveals itself."
"Otherwise, even if it stood right before your eyes, you'd never know."

角色故事•二（解鎖條件：角色等級40）
在那顆遙遠的行星上，有一種被稱為「聖杯」的神秘資源。時至今日，那裡的人們依舊用這個詞去比喻那些最了不起的成就，歌頌那些最神聖的理想。也因此，在掌握神秘的人眼中，聖杯是一台能夠實現任何願望的萬能許願機，輕易將難以企及的夢想化作現實。

「是的，聽上去很像某種詐騙。但它是真的…人們甚至會利用這種規則進行欺詐。
「身為從者，我明明因聖杯才得以駐留於世，但在參加的聖杯戰爭中，我卻不止一次破壞了它。用你們的話來說，這算是成為了某種保留節目？
「…最初要下這個決心可並不容易。畢竟是萬能許願機嘛，誰沒點私心想要去實現幾個願望呢？」

少女成為英靈後的苦惱，或許以遊戲玩家的視角更好理解。當同袍反目、故國毀滅、圓桌行至終點，作為當事人的騎士王，自然最能看清其中的種種不堪。「如果能有一個比我更強的玩家來攻略這一切，結果會不會有所不同？」
懷疑的想法一旦產生，便很難從內心根除。
「請讓更合適的人在那時成為不列顛的王」——這或許是一個連聖杯聽了也會不知道該怎麼實現的願望。

「所以，你想問我現在怎麼看這個問題？
「我並非理想的王。但這並不妨礙有人把我視作心中『理想的王』，並因此做到了我做不到的事情。
「我很感激有位朋友讓我看清了這一點。
「他說，冒牌貨也有冒牌貨的價值。」  

Character Story: Part II

• Unlocked at Character Level 40

On a distant planet, there exists a mysterious resource known as the Holy Grail. To this day, its name is used to symbolize the greatest of triumphs, the loftiest of ideals. To those versed in the arcane, the Holy Grail is nothing less than an omnipotent wish-granting calice, one that can effortlessly turn the impossible into reality.

"Yeah, I know, it sounds like a con. But it's real. People have even twisted its rules to deceive others."
"As a Servant, the Holy Grail is the reason I can remain in this world. Yet in the Holy Grail War I've fought in, I've shattered it more than once. You'd probably call that a bit of a running tradition?"
"...Making that initial resolve isn't easy. It is an omnipotent wish-granting calice, after all. Who doesn't have a few selfish dreams they'd like to see come true?"

The girl's struggles as a Heroic Spirit might be best understood through the eyes of a player. When comrades turn against one another, when the homeland falls, when the round table reaches its end. Who better to see its ruin than the King of Knights herself? "If a player stronger than me had taken the reins, would the ending have been different?" Once that doubt takes hold, it rarely lets go. "Let someone more worthy be Britian's king in my place" — a wish even the Holy Grail might struggle to fulfill.

"So, you're asking how I see it now?"
"I'm not the perfect king. But that doesn't stop others from seeing me as their 'ideal king' — and doing what I never could."
"I'm grateful to a friend who helped me realize that."
"He even said a counterfeit has its own worth."

角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
雖說有著濃墨重彩傳奇故事的騎士都是十八般武藝樣樣精通，但少女最著名的武器無疑是
「石中之劍」與「湖中之劍」。前者是少女成為王的契機，後者則代表著王威名的頂峰。

「沒錯，你如今見到的是湖中之劍。石中之劍在很久以前就被我用壞了。準確地說，有一次，它在揮劍的時候承受不住我的魔力，直接碎成了粉末……」
「可能是打造它的魔法師也沒料到我的成長會如此迅速？結果就是，他必須自己負起責任，向湖中仙女討要新的兵器——也就是我現在手裡的這把。」

傳說中，只要以充沛的魔力揮出誓約勝利之劍，持劍者就必定能摧毀敵人——這也是它名字的由來。然而，就像所有在最初就埋下矛盾的傳奇故事一樣，這把劍最強的力量並不屬於劍刃，卻屬於保護劍刃的劍鞘。

「只有能守護一切之物才能承托住毀天滅地的力量。
「再銳利的刀鋒，再飛速的箭矢，也只有在消滅或者嚇退敵人的那一刻才真的保護了同伴。
「也就是說，如果一種兵器會導致同伴和敵人一起消亡，那它就什麼也保護不了。當然，作為民眾的兵器，王也一樣。」

什麼是理想的王？
什麼是強大的王？
有王打敗過全世界的敵手，有王囊括過全世界的財富，有王征服過全世界的土地…但到頭來，他們守護的國家，也都如鏡花水月，彌散在歷史與傳說的長河之中。

「有很長一段時間，我都生活在丟失了劍鞘的陰影里。
「但後來我想明白了一件事…
「如果我找不到能代替劍鞘的事物，命運也就不會把劍鞘再還給我。」

「這不是什麼玄妙的道理。」少女莞爾一笑，「它的意思是…從者和御主，要學會平等相待、互相幫助。」

Though every knight of legend is said to master countless martial arts, the girl's most renowned weapons remain to be Sword in the StoneCaliburn and Sword of the LakeExcalibur.
The first marks the beginning of her kingship. The second represents the peak of her sovereign power.

"That's right, what you see now is the Sword of the Lake. The Sword in the Stone? I broke it a long time ago. One time, it couldn't handle the magical energy I poured into a swing and crumbled to dust..."
"Maybe the mage who forged it never imagined I'd grow so fast. In the end, he had to take responsibility and plead with the Lady of the Lake for a replacement. That's the sword I hold now."

Legend has it that when wielded with enough magical energy, the Excalibur can obliterate any foe — hence its name. But like many legends woven with contradiction, its true power lies not in the blade, but in the scabbard that shields it.

"Only something that can protect all is worthy of wielding the power to destroy all."
"No matter how sharp the blade, how swift the arrow — they only protect the companions when they strike down or drive off the threat."
"In short, if a weapon causes both ally and enemy to perish, it protects nothing. And a king, who is also a weapon of the people, is no exception."

What makes an ideal king?
What makes a mighty king?
Some have defeated every foe beneath the heavens. Some have amassed all the wealth in the world. Some have conquered all lands... And yet, in the end, the nations they vowed to protect dissolved like reflections of rippling water, lost to the currents of time and legend.

"For a long time, I lived in the shadow of losing my scabbard."
"But later, I came to realize something..."
"If I can't find something that can take its place, then fate will never return it to me."

"It's not some grand revelation," the girl says with a quiet smiles. "It simply means...
Servant and Master must learn to treat each other as equals and support one another."

角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
在真正成為王之前，少女有一段在家鄉四處遊歷的時光。那時，整個世界仿佛剛剛誕生，不知名的花朵盛開在山谷，不知名的溪流反射著初春的早陽。有太多事物對少女來說沒有名字，只能用手指指點點，不停地向某位知識淵博的同伴提出問題。
餵馬、劈柴、盡情奔跑…少女熟悉的生活即將告一段落，可她毫不計較，每天入睡時都暢想著新的冒險。

「真正的王並不如此。
「王不可擅離城堡。那城堡並非由磚石所造，它的原材料是民眾的信心。
「王不可期待冒險。每項決策都應該是深思熟慮的結果，並儘量排除個人喜好的影響。
「王不可擁有生活。王是國家的象徵，無論在何種場合與人交流，都應該擁有指引前路的力量。」

或許對很多人來說，這都是一份無法承受的重擔。但發掘少女的那位魔法師眼光很好——她不僅輕鬆地適應了這一切，甚至用男性的身份示人也不會露出任何破綻（當然，需要藉助一點小小的法術）。

「有趣的是，王的煩惱並不來自這些約束。
「恰恰相反——她最頭痛的，是自己失去了所有的約束。
「啊…這樣說大概很難理解，不如用大家都熟悉的場景來打比方吧。」

在銀河的邊陲有一顆行星，那裡氣候惡劣，無窮的敵人威脅著人類脆弱的家園。為此人們推舉出了一位「王」，把她每天的日程都排得滿滿當當——這樣一來，從上到下，整個星球團結成了有機的整體，一切保護家園的行動都得以井井有條地展開。

但很久之後，突然有一天，王發現自己的日程出現了明顯的空缺。她不覺得自己有休息的餘閒，但身邊的人們提供了各種各樣的回答；但王敏銳地發現，這些回答的本質，都指向了同一個事實…「我們不知道還能做些什麼，才能讓明天比今天更好。」

「表面上看，這時的王可以想做什麼就做什麼。
「但只要稍動腦筋，她又會發現，自己可能做什麼都是錯的。
「這是一個可怕的惡性循環——想的越多，理解你的人就會越少。」

在自己的有生之年，王無法跳出這個詛咒。她最信任的騎士與自己分道揚鑣，她最器重的養子與自己刀劍相向。
她的王國在她手中崛起，亦在她手中敗亡。

「如果有個更合適的人能成為王就好了。」彌留之際，她一度這樣評判自己。
——不過，大可放心。現在的少女，早就不從這個角度看待問題了。

「從結果來說，一切的改變，都因為我參加了某次聖杯戰爭。
「不過，千萬不要誤會，聖杯戰爭只是這樣的一個契機——
「——它喊住了埋頭奔跑的你，讓你有機會重新發現身邊的風景。
「我仍然是王。只是換了一種履行義務的方式。
「就像那些春天的花朵…當你注意到它們的時候，往往正目睹著它們的凋謝。不過幸運的是，儘管花朵終會化作泥土，但開出花朵的樹枝依舊在那兒。
「含苞的樹枝，永遠會等待著下一個春天。」  

Character Story: Part IV

• Unlocked at Character Level 80

Before she ever became a king, the girl once wandered her homeland freely. Back then, the world felt newly born. Unknown flowers bloomed in quiet valleys, nameless streams shimmered beneath the early spring sun. To her, many things had no names. She could only point and ask questions, again and again, to a certain knowledgable companion.
Feeding the horses, chopping firewood, running until breathless... Her familiar life was about to draw to a close. But she didn't mind. Each night, she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the adventures yet to come.

"A true king doesn't live that way."
"A king must never stray from the castle, and that castle isn't made of stone or brick. Its foundation is the people's trust."
"A king must not long for adventure. Every choice must come from deliberation, free from the pull of personal desire as much as possible."
"A king must not pursue a life of their own. A king stands as the nation's symbol, and in every word they speak, no matter to whom, they must carry the strength to lead."

To most, such a role would be an unbearable weight. But the mage who discovered the girl had a discerning eye — she took on the role with ease. Even presenting herself as a man raised no suspicion — though, of course, a touch of magecraft helped with that.

"The funny thing is, her troubles didn't come from being bound by these rules."
"It is quite the opposite — what she struggles with most is the loss of all her restraint."
"Ah... I know, that's probably hard to grasp. Maybe it's better to explain with a more familiar example."

At the edge of the cosmos lies a planet ravaged by harsh weather, where endless threats loom over humanity's fragile home. To protect it, the people appointed a "king," and scheduled her every hour from dawn to dusk. And in doing so, the planet became one, united and ordered. Their efforts to defend their world fell into place with perfect precision.

Years had passed when the king discovered blatant gaps appearing in her schedule. Though she felt rest was a luxury she couldn't afford, everyone around her offered various explanations. With her sharp intuition, she pierced through their words to the underlying truth: "We no longer know what more we can do to make tomorrow better than today."

"To outside observers, the king seemed finally free to pursue her desires."
"Yet the moment she considered her options, she realized that perhaps every choice she could now make was somehow wrong."
"This is a terrifying negative spiral — the more thoughts you have, the fewer who truly understand your burden."

This curse followed the king to her grave. Her most trusted knightLancelot parted ways with her, while her most promising adopted childMordred drew steel against her.
The kingdom she raised to greatness ultimately met its downfall through her own hands.

"If only someone more worthy had taken the throne." Such was her self-judgment in her dying breath.
But rest assured. The girl she is now no longer scrutinizes herself through such harsh eyes.

"If we consider the outcome, then everything transformed when I participated in that fateful Holy Grail War."
"But please understand — the Holy Grail War was just an opportunity —"
"It stopped you in your headlong rush, allowing you to finally see the beauty that had always surrounded you."
"I am still the king, and this is just another method of fulfilling my duty."
"Like the flowers of spring... by the time you notice their beauty, you're usually only on time to witness them withering. Yet thankfully, those flowers eventually fade to soil, the branches that produced the bloom endure."
"These branches, full of promise, will forever await the next(utopia's arrival) spring."
