Chapter 1: Summoned as a Caster
Sirens echoed in the streets as people gathered around a scene of a tragedy. Cars flipped over, fire raging and people screaming.
"I have got him, come help me, quick!" Yelled a man in his forties as he dragged a body out of a car, the body was breathing, albeit barely. It was the body of a dying young man.
"When will the damn ambulance arrive?!" Shouted another as they quickly flipped the body over, just then, one of the cars exploded blowing everyone back.
The body remained where it was, the face of the person becoming visible, blood trailing down the side of its head. The two men quickly returned to the dying person only to freeze as they saw his face. It was not a face of fear or pain as they expected, it was of excitement!
...
'Darkness was before light so it shall be after light.' Thought a drifting soul in an expanse of infinite nothing. He could only perceive darkness as far as he could comprehend.
'Everything is a cycle, darkness after light, light after darkness. Nothing is absolute.' A dot of light appeared far above in the distance and grew bigger in a blink of an eye. His surroundings turned blinding bright.
'As above, so below; as below, so above. If trees live, die and live again. Then we will live, die and live again after death.' The surroundings began to change in a strange way...
'I just wonder what kind of life it will be after death?' Wondered Arthur in anticipation but just as he finished that thought...
"Who are you? Where am I?" Someone asked...
He turned and saw a ghost-like figure, it looked familiar somehow...
"You are dead." He replied but noticed that it was more like an outward thought, a type of telepathic communication.
He expected the figure to become sad but for some reason, the figure started smiling in joy, "At last... I am free... thank you..." The figure got closer to him, "Are you Ankhseram?"
Arthur was taken aback but before he could say anything, he felt a force push him where he imagine his face was, it felt like a punch but it didn't hurt, "What was that for?!" He asked.
The other party seemed angry, "You caused all this... Ankhseram!" He was constantly being pushed around by some force as if being punched repeatedly but he felt nothing except annoyance.
"Stop this! I am not..." Before he could finish, he realized something was wrong. The two had begun moving in a direction they were not supposed to...
He tried to stop but it was too late, the two were absorbed into some sort of cyclone of light. He kicked the other party hoping to get out of the cyclone but it was useless, the other soul was propelled to the depth and he followed soon after.
Arthur felt moving at unimaginable speeds and suddenly everything stopped in a strange dark space, he saw the other soul in a sleeping state.
Just as he wondered what the hell was going on, a great force pushed him and the other soul together as if fusing them, he panicked but he realized it was pointless because he didn't feel anything affecting his mind as he expected.
'Did my kick somehow cause him to lose his mind in the cyclone? He probably hit somewhere and become a mindless soul?' He thought but it didn't matter at the moment, he realized the two fused, his mind remained intact but his soul changed.
Suddenly words appeared in front of him.

He read everything with shock, 'Am I in some sort of fate universe?! Wait a moment, that other soul was Zeref?!!'
The screen vanished as other words appeared...
[Entity not present in Throne of Heroes... Not present in the Root... Abnormality... Error...]
He felt a little frightened as he saw the error persist for a few seconds. He was relieved to see it be replaced by new words.
[Solution created. Record in Akasha created. Forceful injection into Gaia in the process... No suitable body was found. The spiritual body has been created. Caster Class confirmed. All processes are completed.]
He felt a shift in his being as the surroundings blurred and changed, the words vanished as knowledge entered his mind.
In an instant, he learned about the holy grail war, about the world, and about magic and his abilities. It was as if he was just injected with the knowledge and skill at mastery level. He learned what had taken Zeref Dragneel 4 centuries to master in an instant; But that was not all, he also learned how to use all the abilities in this new world without any Ethernano!
It was both a bizarre and wondrous feeling for him. He was in shock for a few seconds as he felt some sort of strange feeling in his being as if he was walking into the depth of the sea.
He blinked and found himself in a dark room. He felt the air on his face and strange clothes on his body. The iron-like smell of blood reached his nose as he breathed for the 1st time in this world.
He thought to himself with wide eyes as he observed his hands, 'I was summoned as a Caster in a holy grail war with Zeref's powers... This is so crazy...'
He looked up and saw a young man with brown hair and black eyes looking at him in shock, eyes wide as saucers. Recognition appeared on his face, 'So I am in that psycho's place, huh?'
Due to the knowledge from before, He knew that he needed a pact established to remain in the world, he did not want to find out what would happen if he vanished from this place back into that void.
'From now on, I am Zeref...' He decided at that moment. He felt very excited to be able to use such abilities and magic.
He lowered his head slightly to chuckle, his black hair covering his eyes as he asked with anticipation and amusement in his voice, "I ask of you... Did you summon me? Who are you?"
...
For Ryuunosuke Uryuu, it was just a curious experiment. He wanted to see if he could really summon something like a demon with what was written in the book. He certainly did not expect it to work!
Yet, right in front of his eyes, he saw it, he felt it deep in his being, Darkness in human shape.
The moment the light of the summoning died down, he saw him and gasped. He felt as if he was gazing into an abyss, and it was certainly looking back at him. His heart sped up as a chilling sensation of death crawled in his body. He didn't know but that feeling was the result of the dark magic and death magic coming off of the being in front of him in intense waves.
"I ask of you... Did you summon me? Who are you?" The deep smooth voice would not have been out of place if spoken in a random street but when coming off of him, it felt like death was speaking to him.
He gulped in fear and excitement, his mind wandering off, thinking of the types of blood and murder the demon in human shape who stood in front of him could show him.
"Y-yes. I am..." He gulped and nervously continued, "Ryuunosuke Uryuu, my hobby is murder of all varieties... hmmm... I like kids and little girls... And..." He stopped talking the moment Arthur looked at him.
"Then the pact is sealed. I am Zeref..."
And thus darkness engulfed Ryuunosuke's vision as he fell asleep. He didn't know that he was not going to wake up, ever again...
...
Within a luxurious mansion, the eyes of a man widened and he gagged as if he was going to throw up, 'What the hell is this feeling?!'
Beside him, a golden-haired and red-eyed man in golden armor materialized and grinned confidently, "A worthy opponent has entered this farce at last..."
The eyes of the man narrowed, 'What...?!'
...
Meanwhile, Arthur stopped his magic from leaking and teleported out of the room, carrying the unconscious body of his summoner with him. To where he was going, only he knew at the moment...
