Made aware of an inevitable end, not just your own but also that of those you love, of those that you see day after day and even of those that you've never seen, what would you do?
Lament and sit idly? Knowing that any struggle would be futile?
Or would you resist to the bitter end? Knowing that any struggle would be futile?
Or, would you rest easy, knowing that humanity was destined to continue, at the behest of an unknown variable?
Alaric von Dietrich chose to struggle.
Certainly, Humanity's Last Master was destined to win but what could be said of the certainty of such a thing happening when a world he thought overly-convoluted fiction lived and breathed around him?
When the opponent was a god-like being of insurmountable power?
Meeting turmoil was a certainty, getting stabbed in the back was par for the course, witnessing horror none from the 21st century could fathom was completely within expectations.
But, to ensure that the mundane goings of his normal life remained just that, Alaric chose to struggle, to ensure humanity's absolute survival.
Insane?
Probably.
But then again,
Which magus wasn't?

This is a work based on Fate Grand Order while incorporating certain consistent elements from other installations in the series.
I hope to make it equal parts serious and relaxed so don't be dissuaded if the synopsis seems too serious for your taste, just give it a try.
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
