Origin Awakening

"Trash protagonist, I can do it too."

Matou Shinji had traveled through different worlds eight times since he said this sentence.

Although he never considered himself a keyboard warrior or the so called partner of justice, he actually felt somewhat powerless to say this sentence.

First the reason he couldn't remember anything about him except his gender, coupled with him having no direction, no motivation in his life, this sentence became the sole reason and purpose for Matou Shinji to travel to different worlds.

If he could not do better than the possessed character, his evaluation points would be deducted.

Apart from this, he basically knew nothing about what happened to him.

Traveling through different worlds, he more or less summed up some rules.

The most profound thing he experienced was the difference in rules.

Different worlds have different rules of the universe.

The magic learned in the magic world has basically no possibility of being used in another world. .

Therefore, the existence of the Gate of Truth slightly surprised him, but it was not incomprehensible.

Movies, novels, or animations, there were many differences in different worlds, but all worlds originated from the earth, which was the fantasy product created by human thought.

So the differences in different worlds were only the tip of the iceberg, and their essences were from the same root.

"That being said, it is still very difficult to integrate alchemy into this world." Shinji Matou muttered to himself as he looked up at the magnificent stone door panel in front of him.

In fact, it was very simple for him to integrate into this world as he only needed to give up his Gate of Truth and he would automatically be accepted by this world.

But this also meant that he would loose the ability to use alchemy and become an insignificant mortal.

One of the reasons why Matou Shinji was called harmless by Tohsaka Rin in the original work wad that Shinji did not have the power of a magician and his mentality was the same as that of ordinary people.

In terms of harm, he was not as harmful as a murderer, so from a magician's perspective, Matou Shinji was of course harmless to humans and animals.

From the very beginning to the end, Matou Shinji was just a chess piece, and even if he didn't exist, someone else would have inevitably taken his place.

Matou Shinji was such a little person.

Of course, this would not hinder everyone's evaluation of him as a scum, including the current Matou Shinji himself.

"Snapped!"

Matou Shinji clapped his hands, and the flashing blue light in his palms showed that the alchemy technique was successfully activated.

His immature face gradually became serious.

After letting go of his hands, the alchemy array in the center of his palms continued to glow.

"Part of the door of truth is accepted by the world, and the other part is rejected by the world. Then what I need to do is to peel off the part that is rejected by the world.

The world of the door is the best filter."

"This project lasted for more than half a year, and all attempts will have results today."

His expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed a trace of excitement that could not be concealed.

If this attempt failed, the Gate of Truth would probably collapse, and Matou Shinji himself would be swallowed up by the source.

He, who had been traveling in different worlds, had long been numb to death, rather, in a sense, "seeking death" could stimulate his nerves.

"Success or failure depends on this one move!" Matou Shinji resolutely pressed his hands on the stone door in front of him, and the formation formed spread with his hands again, gradually covering the towering and magnificent stone door.

"boom!"

The dull sound impacted his consciousness.

The stone door did not move at all, but the door of truth behind Matou Shinji slowly opened.

Behind the Door of Truth was a void of darkness, and something was squirming inside.

Then that something suddenly opened, revealing a huge eye, which was composed of countless spirals.

Thousands of black tentacles emerged from the eyes, slowly extending, crossing Matou Shinji and touching the stone gates covered with complex formations.

The tentacles were carving the truth contained in the Gate of Truth onto the door, rejecting alchemical knowledge that was not applicable to this world.

"This is!"

Matou Shinji's face turned pale, and he felt a wordless wave impacting his consciousness.

It was not a rejection reaction, but it was a vague sensation that was more profound than any sensation he had ever experienced in this world.

If it weren't for his consciousness being incredibly resilient after experiencing multiple worlds, he would have lost his sanity to this strange fluctuation.

"This feeling...could it be the origin?" Matou Shinji thought in surprise.

The root is the cause of everything.

When life comes into contact with the root, it is likely that a characteristic called "origin" will be awakened.

"Origin", magicians also call it chaotic impulse.

All things and life have a direction at the beginning of their birth, and then they will inevitably move in that direction, just like water always flowing downwards.

For humans, this directionality is an irresistible primitive impulse.

Only with strong personality and wisdom can it be possible to suppress the origin.

The origin is the directionality determined by the root.

It is the absolute command at the core of all things and phenomena, which cannot be changed no matter how many times the soul reincarnates.

Under the system of Magecraft, Origins are used to describe precise details about a Magus.

As a world traveler, Matou Shinji knew the origins of many characters in this world.

Shirou Emiya's Origin was "Sword," which allowed him to use the Inherent Field "Unlimited Blade Works" and made him proficient in projecting sword-type weapons through magecraft.

Emiya Shirou's adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, had an origin of [Severing and Binding], enabling him to manufacture special magecraft artifacts like the "Origin Bullets" using his own ribs.

In addition, in "The Garden of Sinners," Shiki Ryougi's dual Origin is [Emptiness], leading to the existence of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception within her, connected to the Root through the unique techniques of the Ryougi family.

As for Fujino Asagami, her Origin is [Nothingness], which deviates her from the norm, resulting in her unusual actions.

Origin, to put it more bluntly, is destiny, which determines what a being wants to do and what it can do.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had the origin of [severing and binding], saved as many people as he killed as a partner of justice.

Azaka Kokutou's liking for abnormal things and falling in love with her brother are also manifestations of her [Taboo] origin..

The origin is also related to the attributes of a magician.

The origin of Emiya Shirou's [sword] and Emiya Kiritsugu's [cutting and combining] are the best examples.

Origins exist with different attributes, and there are also different states associated with them.

The vast majority of humans throughout their lives cannot perceive their own Origins, while a very small minority may naturally awaken to them.

This phenomenon is referred to as "Origin Awakening" by magi.

The personality born of human beings over decades or hundreds of years cannot compete with the core meaning of life, and their personality will inevitably be dominated by the directionality of the origin.

At the same time, people who have awakened to the origin will gain the power accumulated through countless reincarnations and become the same as their own origin—A matching monster.

In the world of "The Garden of Sinners," the two Mystic Eyes of Shiki Ryougi awakened to their Origins, connecting her personality, born from nothingness, to the Root. Her power even has the potential to rewrite the laws of the universe.

Neither Emiya Kiritsugu nor Emiya Shirou awakened to their Origins; thus, they are merely influenced by them.

For ordinary people, the awakening of their Origins is far from beneficial.

Even if a strong personality can resist the influence of their Origin initially, they will gradually be affected over time until they are completely consumed.
