    Man that discussion was very fun to read between Glynn, the medical/philosopher servants, and Goetia. Really want a omake of them completing that discussion and enacting Flynn approved plan

    Using Hassan like that, a simple yet magnificent keikaku.

    Charles Flynn if you can, please post the entire debate?

    Mash is dead, I mean perma dead?

    Waiting for the sequel.

    In order to stop the Human Order Incineration Ritual Flynn made a BEAST1 Correction Ritual to turn it back into the Human Order Correction Ritual? Seems legit. He even did it the same way we do so in real life (communicating consensus). If this is the end it was a wild ride that I mucho enjoyed. Thank you Charles Flynn

    ... I just realized something. Beyond using his incredible wealth of historical knowledge to find weaknesses in his opponents, fast-talking people to screw them over, and just plain using ruthless, underhand methodology that no right-minded Fate protag would ever lower themselves into...

    The greatest, most effective, most used tactic that Master Charles Flynn used to save the World from the Grand Order is... tactical Hassan deployment. It started with Cursed Arm, then Hundred Faces, and even Serenity got to join the fun with her being critical to help assassinate Alter Cu.

    And here, in the end of it all, the crazy bastard actually outdid himself by unleashing the top dog of all Hassans, King Hassan himself, at a Beast.

    Magnificently done. No shonen bullshit, no power of friendship shenanigans... just plain, straight out out-keikaku-ing everyone for the win. Not bad for a random mundane. Ritsuka Fujimaru, take notes. This is how you save the world while only being a 'normal' human.

    Probably not, and he already beat all 7 using different Servants, and the same goes for Ritsuka if I remember correctly.

    I drift between light and dark, floating freely, lighter than a feather. I sink below, at peace.

    It’s over. I did it.

    And then, somehow, I see something. A great light that shines through the darkness into which I descend, a beam of existence. Of meaning.

    I AM THE ALIEN GOD. HUMANITY’S TIME HAS COME TO A CLOSE. I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, AND SEVEN OTHERS, TO DECIDE WHAT COMES AFTER.

    I think it over. And then I give her the only answer I ever could.

    No.

    Surprise. Confusion.

    IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS, YOU WILL HAVE NO WAY OUT. YOU ARE DEAD. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WAY BACK.

    Even so, I will not betray my people.

    YOUR PEOPLE’S FATE IS INEVITABLE.

    Yes. They will destroy you without a doubt. Now leave me to my rest and prepare for them to send you to join me.

    Rage. A hatred to split the stars asunder. And then the presence is gone, and I return to my sleep, content.

    They’ll be greater than I ever was.

    ---​

    I walk down the street, staring at the little blue house, so familiar I could see it in my sleep. And then I cross the street, and make my way to the door, every step feeling heavier than a mountain.

    It’s the same as I remember it. I ring the doorbell, and hear the dogs start to bark, as tears trickle down my face.

    And as the door begins to open, I know it, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    It’s over.

    I’m home.

    It's been a journey and a half, but How I Saved History is finally done. Thanks for sticking with me.

    A sequel, entitled How I Screwed Up Big Time, starring the inimitable Kirchtaria Wodime, will enter development whenever Cosmos in the Lostbelt wraps up. I hope to see you then.

    Will we also be getting a post-epilogue of how Chaldea is reacting/doing after the Goetia battle? Do the pseudo singularities (Besides Shimosa) not happen anymore because canon’s “Demon Pillars escaping after Goetia’s defeat” got diverted by Fou taking control of all them? Or are these things you will explored in the sequel?
    Also, Romani is still alive with the ring since he didn’t have to intercept Goetia, right?

    Either way, it’s been a fun ride! Thanks for writing this

    A very nice tidying up; Charlie's tone is also genuine, I can believe he has faith and is soul-tired. I should be at the next one if the Follow function works the way I think it does.

    These are the ones I remember.

    Odysseus as Archer, Merlin as Caster, Leonidas as Lancer, Perseus as Rider, and Diomedes as Berserker. Sigmund (Sigurd's dad) was summoned as their team's Saber, and died stopping Girtablilu. And, of course, Heracles was summoned as Gilgamesh's Assassin. He was present in a little more than half of the Babylonia chapters.

    Y'know, Flynn quite possibly made it onto the throne of heroes. Not for power, not for a great history, but as that one guy who somehow pulled off the impossible, even as he sacrificed himself.

    Plus, Chaldea now likely has Goetia as an assistant, not to mention that Flynn will likely make a dramatic return from the grave when he is needed the most.

    As much I would love to see this, I do not think there are many who would like to see MC back. As for thrones, his legend is not known yes? How many will know and believe it?

    Charles Flynn, where is that home? Where MC end up?

    He either ended up in the afterlife, or that was some kind of hallucination before he died.

    Indeed. The necromancy he proposed wouldn't bring the real him back, it would just use the soul fragments he left behind to reanimate his corpse, leaving it an abomination in neverending pain, forced to obey its master's orders, in a fate worse than death. If he ended up on the Throne, it would only ever be as a Counter Guardian.

    He's dead. He's not coming back, not really, no matter what Chaldea uses his corpse for. As for where he ended up, that's open to interpretation.

    I'm guessing that if Wodime gets revived in the sequel then his condition is going to be different than just being in eternal pain?

    Given some of the anime that have been made I can see this happening.

    Wodime's in a different situation. His soul hadn't moved on yet, which is how the Alien God was capable of making its offer.

    Flynn got the same offer (because Wodime is just flat-out too damn nice) and turned it down. He's gone. The necromantic Master that Chaldea will make from his remains is less Lazarus, more Pet Sematary.

    Right forgot that he was still alive.

    Well if you can call his current condition alive at any rate.

    Achilles better watch his heel then.
