Type-Moon: My Nine-Fold Path
Have you ever had a dream?
Have you had the same dream, repeating every single night, for over a decade?
From the moment he was transported to this world, Kotomine Souya has seen it in his dreams countless times: nine great roads, paved with white stone, stretching out from his feet toward a boundless horizon.
He once believed these nine roads would be his "golden finger" (a special cheat ability), but even after he came to understand this world and became an excellent Executor, poised to join his adoptive brother, Kotomine Shirou, in the Holy Grail War, he remained unable to take a single step onto those paths.
Perhaps this is all my life will amount to? A dull and tedious existence of playing the crooked ref, exterminating heretics, and seducing a saintess under my brother's protection?

[Ferry across the river of time, traverse history, and walk the nine-fold path of infinite possibility to its end, forging a way to the Throne of Heroes.]

"Well folks, my days of rigging the game are over. It's time for this commentator to actually join the match for real."
