New York, USA,
In a busy restaurant in New York we can see a young man with deep black hair and blue eyes who looked to be 18 years old, he was dressed in a black shirt and a jeans pants, his uppermost button on the shirt was left unbuttoned, all in all, he looked both cool but at the same time like a rogue, but his handsome face had managed to ward away any kind of bad thoughts about him to the people sitting near, that and the beautiful woman sitting in front of him also helped,
"The mission was a success Ren, we have managed to end the apostle before he could unleash his familiars on the city, but i do have concerns with the...collateral damage you cause with your magecraft," the woman said as Ren replied,
"Bazzet, you know better than anyone that the only way to cleanse an area of the curse of an apostle is to completely purify it with magecraft, the collateral damage was but a small price to pay to save the lives of billions"
"three kilometers of forests turned to ash, the next time we work together I want you to maintain a sense of restraint," Bazzer said but immediately regretted her words as Ren adopted a blank look, a strange pressure was felt by everyone in the shop,
"do not order me Fraga McRemitz, the only reason I am even helping you is because of the favor my old man owed to your family all those years ago, do not even think for a moment that you can order me to do anything" he said, while she did not like it, Bazzet knew that he was right,
She did not even have the qualification to order him, ever since she had met him over two years ago, she had undertaken several missions with him but even to this day she could never come up with a countermeasure for him that would guarantee her victory, even if she used Fragarach she knew that she would still lose to him, for his magecraft had easily surpassed the level of a Noble Phantasm, and his mastery over runes ensured that even her rune of resurrection would be useless in front of him, not to mention the strange runes that he himself uses that were on par with primeval runes, she was effectively outmatched by him in every way making him her natural nemesis, the only one in the world she could say she cannot win against with a guarantee,
Slowly, the pressure on her was lifted as Ren calmed down and got up to leave, he then said to Bazzet without turning back,
"This was my last mission anyway, do not contact me for any other missions for at least a year or two, I need to spend time with my family after all," he said as he went out of the shop and headed into a secluded alley, Bazzet knew not to follow him or risk his ire like she had done the first time she did,
Somehow, the young man had a way to teleport around the world to his desired location but refused to talk about it, she could understand his reasons though, if someone from the clock tower learned about his ability, they would hunt him down to learn it for themselves and Ren had made sure to bind her in a very strange form of runic geass so that she would not spill his secret to anyone when they had started to work together,
she sighed as she too got up from her seat, after all, she had a job to do,
to collect certain cards for the association,

Fuyuki, Japan,
after a sudden flash of blue, Ren appeared in a secluded alley that was near to his home, he started to walk towards his house, eager to see his siblings and parents after not seeing or talking to then for over four months,
ever since he had helped amplify Shirou's circuits all those years ago, he had not dared to use his rewrite ability in fear of losing his life, but after an entire year, he could not hold back his curiosity and decided to use the ability one last time, on his own brain,
this resulted in him being knocked out for an entire day, but after he woke up, he was surprised to see that he had not lost any of his life force for using the ability, the answer to the this came from his newly enhanced brain,
It would seem that the reason he had lost his life force previously was that he had used the ability according to the memories in his head, he had followed the same procedure, thus ended with the same consequence as the original user, but this time, when he used his ability, he had accidentally activated the ability with his arcane energy instead, this was the reason why he did not lose his life force for using the ability, but unlike before, the rewrite he did was only 90% as strong as the previous one, Ren concluded that this was because of his own lack of training in manipulating the Arcane energy and his Rewrite ability, thus, after that he threw himself into training both of his abilities by using the memories in his mind as a reference, and the results were truly astonishing,
His mastery of the Arcane was already almost half as strong as the Last Guardian while his mastery over the Rewrite was already far better than the original user,
The reason why he was not yet as strong as the Last Guardian was that even though he inherited all his memories regarding his magic and power, he was still limited by his inexperience in live combat and wars, thus he took the next step in his plan,
He talked to Kiritsugu and convinced him to send him to fight alongside a few agents of the association to learn live combat experience, although he was reluctant, he eventually agreed, luckily enough one of the old contacts of Kiritsugu had asked for his help in dealing with a few dead apostles alongside a young agent called Bazzet Fraga, it was from this moment that Ren continued to work with the agent for over 2 years before he deemed himself to be on par with the Last Guardian in terms of power, this brings us to his current situation,
Ren walked into his house but was immediately stunned by what he was sensing,
