Anyone there" I walked into the forest trying to remember what happened "Ah...your here" a manly voice scares him behind "AHH who are you?" Frantically scared "Haha... You may know me or known as....The ultimate scavenger" *I was confused* "I don''t understand....your him?" I looked at him suspiciously in the eye, uncertainty if he was an ultimate "Hey, I''m just as confused as you are, but right now the others are in the camp site" he looks confidentially "Alright" I looked a him while walking "so.. whats your name?" I asked politely "My name is Kotohari hagemezura, what''s yours? " he asked, "Oh I''m.........I.....don''t remember...." Trying to remember my name, "heh, you don''t know anything? Well too bad haha..." Kotohari says "Oh we are here" Kotohari says The grass and a open field with a humongous house, a door opens to the entrance with people there who''s talking "Your late" her being angry, "oh I''m sorry, I was getting this guy, introduce yourself" he says "M-me?" I was anxious, "yeah you come on" pushes me Infront of others," "Uhm....hi" I said to everyone, "I forgot what my name is" I told them in a polite saying, Others looked at me in a confused expression "you don''t know your name at all?" One of them asked "Yeah" I look at them trying to be cool "Well, all of us remember our names, you should know too" they asked "Oh, so what''s your name?" I asked. "My name is ogiro crenshi, I''m the ultimate diver" "I heard of you before, you are really good at diving and you hold the world record for holding your breath right?" I questioned him "Yeah, it''s 10 hours if you wanna know ha..." He said "THATS INHUMANE, no wonder why your a prodigy" I told him "Everyone here is an ultimate kid" a tall girl looks at me very seriously "I''m Meri kero kid, I''m the ultimate mathematician" *I look at her, her large tall infrastructure shows how fit and well she is* "Your some guy huh? Telling everyone their special, everyone IS special" *I look at myself at embarrassment* "i-im sorry, I was so eager to know you guys because I have not met an ultimate yet, it''s a dream come true!" *She smirks* "I met a couple of dudes who wanted to meet me, but I never seen someone with so much excitement to actually see me in person" *Some girl with a strong British accent broke our conversation* "Anyways, where are we supposed to be at? Why are we here to begin with?" "I don''t know, someone told us to stay put here" *someone answered* "But let''s introduce ourselves except me...." *I frown as the others are confused* "Why is that?" *Someone replied as I go in confusion* "I...don''t remember myself at the moment...." *look at them with disappointment" "Sounds suspicious to me" *a large thick western accent earing over my shoulder* "Your the one acting the most scared out of all of us" *a girl shrug him over*Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. "Oh please as if your the one peeing your pants, stop annoying him and let''s wait" *a purple haired girl was in the corner with somewhat a labcoat* "So uhm....let''s..-" *Ding dong!* "I heard something!" *He was shouting* "No shit, let''s hear it" *she was looking at the man* "Erm hello? Testing testing, is this mic on? Good?" *A voice appears in the speaker* "Good Morning Students or afternoon, Please meet at the main hall! See you there and I will be waiting for you!!!" "Good, someone''s here operating this place" *she was not scared but Annoyed as everyone else* "But... Who is it?" *I replied* "Let''s check it out" *she was talking to me* "On we go then!" *He was running towards the place* "W-wait for me! I don''t wanna be alone here!" *She was freighted* *As the room turns full, something came upon the big mansion, out of carved wood and steel, the floor had a square cut on the middle, it''s sturdy but cannot be open* *The hallway was at the wall, with two stair case leading upstairs but cannot be accessed* "Gr......I can''t open the hatch" *he replied* "it''s too heavy to open it and even with my strength this thing must mean something is inside..." "Hmm I wonder..." *I question myself, what could be contain in it* *I see the floor shake as the hatch also shakes* "Everyone go back! The hatch''s about to explode!* *Everyone goes back as the floor suddenly stopped* Bang! *Smoke comes popping on the ground as the square wooden plate disappears and slowly shows...a bear?* "Welcome...WELCOME!....I am your one and only... School principal!!!, welcome to the academy of hope''s peak! "GRAHHH ITS A BEAR!!!" *a girl shrieked in terror* "HE CAN TALK!!!" *she screams* "Wahh!! I am so scary!!!!" *The bear replied* "Nahh I''m joking, im just a bear, a REALLY big bad bear, phuhuhuhu" "Who are you? Where are we?" *A guy replied* "...are you deaf? I just said.. that we are in the most luxurious academy the world has to offer?, oh please let me introduce myself," "My name is monokuma, and I am the head administrator of this whole school, where you can be staying here for the rest of your life!" *Everyone shocked, Rest of your life?* "Who told us we can be trapped here forever?, we wanna go home!" *He said* "Nuh uh uh!, you people are the pinnacle of hope, even if though you try to get out of this place, the whole world went in chaos! So it''s better if you stay here than there!" *Monokuma replied* "Chaos? What happened to our homes?" *He replied* "The chances are your homes destroyed" *monokuma told him with sincerity* "No....no.....that''s...not....true....I won''t believe in your lies...never..." *He was not gonna believe monokuma* "Oh? You think I''m not telling the truth, look for yourself" monokuma replied "The main halls window had a projector showing the catastrophe of the world we have now, it''s full of chaos and rioting" *Everyone was shocked at their core* "WAAAAH" "guh..." "NOOO!" *I look at the projector seeing everything torn to shreds in everywhere, could this...be true?.....* "Alright, to explain the rules of this academy.... You must live in a communal life of living, if you graduate, you will be able to be successful in life!" "And how do we graduate?" *I said* "In order for you to graduate...you must... Kill." "This includes stabbing stab stab stab!, drowning plblblblbl, poisoning, choking, Anything you name it!" "No... That''s not true...." "The hell we are going to be listening at your nonsense" *Grabs monokuma* "HEY LET ME GO!" *monokuma said to him* "Your going to tell me how to get out of here before I rip you apart!" "Violating the rules! No violence against the headmaster!" *Monokuma says* "Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?" "..." "..." "..." "Hey... Wake up!" *He Shakes monokuma* "Beep" "Beep" "why aren''t you answering I said wake up!" *Shakes even more* "Throw it! It''s gonna explode!" "Huh? Okay" *throws it* BANG! "GAHH IT EXPLODED!" *the frightened person, said* *The square hole opens again showing monokuma appear again* "Ahem ahem, your violating the school rules.... No violence to the head master!, I''ll give you a warning and that''s the last...time I''m going to give you, so anyways let''s go back to the topic!" "And I''ll explain the rules, in this little square box I like to call the EPad! Or e handbook!, it''s a really durable ipad, and is water proof, and survives space!" *You will be each given a handbook in your bedroom" "Bedroom? You mean we have our own dorms?" "Of course! Why would we want the symbol of hope take a nap outside? This IS an academy of specials.." "So it''s like. College..." *I replied* "College? You mean 4 years of wasted life? No no no... I mean this academy has EVERYthing the world has to offer in this single academy. So every thing this school is donated by every, single, government you can think of," "That''s....so much..." *I thought to myself* "And you will be Able to do whatever you want in a community!, and this doesn''t mean you will be able to get out, as murder is going to be your last option before you... Graduate!" "But before that... You must know that graduating is serious, meaning you will have to go to a class trial!" "C-class trial?" *I question myself as others mutters* "Anyways.... If you and the others find out who the killer is using the evidence of the crime scene, the class trial will begin! So inorder for you to win the class trial...is to investigate!" "And investigating is to collect evidence, so take as much time as to collect as much evidence as you can until you guys think it''s enough" *Monokuma points at all of us* "But... If the killer wasn''t caught during the voting selection.... Then he or she will graduate, however if they "can''t" get caught by you guys" "But if you didn''t vote the right person, then....that means everyone will be punished except the killer!" "Huh? No way.... That cannot be true..so we can''t even survive unless we pick the right culprit?" *I look at myself in disbelief* "Your right! One hundred percento!" *Monokuma says with happiness* "But if the killer was caught guilty... Then he or she will Have an: Execution!" *Everyone is shocked and scared* "Execution? What do you mean execution? You mean...death?" *A person replied* "Yes! Execution is execution!, it means that you will be executed!" "So....our dorms are at right?" *I asked monokuma* "Yes yes of course it''s random, the arrange ment is none other than me" *monokuma said with praise* "Don''t you have anyone else that can well...help you?" *Someone replied* "Actually....we have gigantic robots that does the room service for us! Made by an ultimate of course" *Monokuma asked politely* "I guess we are stuck here for now" someone replied to me "About that....I have been told that there''s an imposter among your group of class mates..." *Monokuma asked* *Everyone is shocked and scared* "You mean?!?! There''s someone who is a bretrayer in this place? Really?" *They replied in a concerned voice* "Yes yes.... There''s someone among you that actually is the imposter" *monokuma replied in a wicked tone* *It was ,Others looking at each other, from eye to eye, not wanting to trust anyone and keeping distance away from others* "We won''t listen to you" *she told monokuma* "Hm? And why is that?" *Monokuma replied with a question* "Because... We won''t.. kill each other!.." *She shouts* "Y-yeah we do not want to kill others" *a person talks back* "I won''t kill anyone, and we won''t listen to you" *a guy talking back to monokuma with confidence* "Hah...haha....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" *monokuma laughs at them* "Do you really think that you guys will live peacefully without murder? Hah....your so sweet.... And I will not allow that peace" *monokuma asked with a cunning voice* "However.... To negate that peace I will add one rule..." *Monokuma replied* "If no one were to murder when the time limit is done, then all will die" *monokuma said* *Everyone is shocked* "Unless....you find the imposter..." *Monokuma said* "If no one were to murder or killed when the time limit is done, then all will die, unless if the imposter were to be found, all will be free to go" "So infact, this rule will be set after 3 days. So have fun getting to know everybody from here, before the killing game begin" *monokuma saying it in a happy expression *Someone raises their hand* "Hm? Yes?" *Monokuma replied "Is there a limit to how many people a person can kill?" *He replied* "Yes yes I almost forgot, thank you" *monokuma replied with respectful tone* "You can only kill two, and that''s that" *monokuma said it with a nice tone,* "Exceeding the limit will make you go bye bye to heaven!" *Monokume said with happiness* *Everyone looks at others" "So what do we do?" *Meri kero replied* "I suppose we could sleep, it''s night time already" *ogiro crenshi replied* *Everyone headed back to find my room as soon as I see my door, next to Meri kero* *I see my nice bed with a lot of things in it, no wonder every government gave the headmaster so much money* *I look up to my bed to see a tablet, EPad* "I''ll go check it out late r... Right now I need some sleep" *I got off and took a nap but before that* *Beep* *the monitor on the side starts to play in the speaker* "Hello Everyone, lights out at 12:00pm and morning starts at 9! Let''s have a good nights rest" *Monokuma is heard giving speech as I drift of to sleep* CHAPTER 1 TREE OF DESPAIR Tree of Despair chapter Two Danganronpa v4 shattered memories *I woke up thinking that all is a dream, but I was still in the same room.......* "..... I should head off right now," *I replied despite being super sleepy,* *I go outside my dorm to see the wooden halls of the place, showing a vast amount of places the person can live in forever, but that''s not my goal* *Everyone is in the hall discussing their plan* "Oh your here Mero Kero, why''s everyone here?" *I look at her, questioning on what everyone''s here and discussing about" "Oh, you haven''t met the others formally.... Well... They tried finding ways out of the schools forest but it''s endless.... Not even the navigator knows where we are because it''s a vast forest no one knew about" *I look at her with visible confusion* "Infinite forests? What do you mean? It won''t let us get out how is it possible to know it''s infinite?" *I told her with high suspicion* *Mero Kero replied with the answer but the tone of it wasn''t good...* "It''s because... Well... According to my mathematic and with the help of the the scientist... The forest seems to venture way too far to adventure out the forest, even the ultimate adventurer seems it''s not good since he doesn''t know the forests inhabitants" You: "Inhabitants? Why cant we steal some food and ration the food quickly so we can-" "We can''t, we have tried it for the past night, the scavenger and the adventurer went on but can''t pass through it because of the massive trees surrounding the barrier of the school, it''s like it doesn''t want us to leave..." *Mero Kero replied with concerned tone to me, it wasn''t good* "Come on, meet the others, you haven''t formally introduce themselves," *Mero Kero replied with sincerity* "Okay....." *I went down stairs to see in the vast wooden halls, following her direction as I come with her,* *I look at her as soon as I saw the people in the kitchen room or dining room talking some stuff that was in the room waiting for Mero Kero* "Here, introduce yourself, properly" *she said to me as she pushes me into the place* "Wait! You can''t just go push me like that!" *I look at the tables seeing. Just five people there* "Yo what''s up?, how''d you doin?" *A dude wears a basketball shirt, turns out he''s a big dude larger than the rest,* "Well well well... Look at the scaredy cat..." *The person wearing the same outfit from the wild west wearing a hat and a cigarette on his mouth* "hey! You should not smoke in this room! The whole place is wooden!" *A girl who has purple hair and a labcoat bangs the table shouting at the wild west dude* *Swipes the cigar from his mouth* "at least have some respect for the other people in this room" "Hey...give me my cigar..." *Stand up to her* "And what are you going to do about it huh?" *Looks at him with anger* "Ahem." *Mero Kero alerting that they are here* "Ugh. Let''s do this later..." *The girl replied* "Everyone meet..... Him" *Mero Kero looks at me as I look the them, "Him? Doesn''t he have a name?" *A girl with a mask and purple hair talks to Mero Kero* "The others are questioning my existence to this place...am I different from them?" "Dont scare him, he''s just one of us" *the basketball player replied* "Y-yeah, I just couldn''t remember my name that''s all" *I talk to her back* "Alright....fine...." *She moans in sadness* "Anyways lets go back on topic" *She goes into the room looking at the others while holding a me as I get pushed* *I met the others as I approach them* "Hello, what''s your name?" *I go to the basketball player as he plays with he ball in his hand spinning it around and around* The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. "Oh? You want my name? That''s okay, I''m Mike Seveon" "Mike Seveon? That''s a cool name" *I look as he stand up, He''s Huge!* *Woah he''s really tall he''s enormous!* "H-how tall are you...." *I look at him in the enormous muscular body* "I''m 7ft," *he told me as I was shaken, 7ft? That''s way too tall for somebody like him* "You can call me Seveon for short, I don''t like people calling me Mike because that''s...rude for me" *He laughs* *I see the others talking as well so I might as well talk to them while I''m at it* "H-hey what''s up? Your uhm hat look cool" *I look at him as he wears a wild west style outfit* "You too" *he looks at me serious as he is calm but looks cool* "So what''s your name?" *I asked him politely as he tell me* "My name is John starry, nice to meet you" *he looks at me as he puts his feet on the table* "What''s your ultimate?" *I replied* "Oh my ultimate? I''m the ultimate marksmen" *he sees me as I was thinking he''s cool* "Woah that''s very cool! Say why are you an ultimate marksmen anyway? You can pinpoint targets easily?" *He grins as he is super chil* "I have what''s called aimbot, it shows me where the target is, and I have another that can curve 360 on what perspective I want" *John starry sees me astonished as I see him* "You can do that? That''s incredible!" *I praise john starry as he sees me* "Thank you thank you" *as John starry looks at me* *I walk up to the boy who''s sitting quiet* "what''s your name?" "My name is ram shukiya" *he looks calm and wears a pilot uniform* "Your supposed to be the ultimate pilot?" "Yeah, I love being a pilot, because it makes me happy, you know..." *He looks at me in the eye* "I almost died on an airplane, because the controls were malfunctioned, and I know how to operate controls and other stuff" *He keeps talking* "Woah, you did that?" *I look at him in the eye* "Yeah" *he looks at me calm" "And....you" *I quietly talked to her as I see her talking to Mike Seveon* "Oh, Heya! Sorry man..., Kinda had a big bad mood today" *she looks at me "Oh it''s okay," *I was happily taken the time* "Oh well..." *She looks at me* "What''s your name?, so we can know each other" *She looks at me and talks very polite* "I''m Aiko vemon, pleasure to meet you" *she looked at me as I was about to say something* "By the way...what''s your ultimate?" *I was thinking about it* "Oh...you wanna know my ultimate? Oh geez! Silly gooster" *Aiko looks at me blushes* "Im joking, anyways... I specialize in venom or poison, and I have large amounts of knowledge about it, I even cured the current ones!" "W-woahh...." *I was astonished, she cured the current ones?* "What do you mean you cured the current?" *I looked at her wondering the way she talked about me* "Oh, it''s basically the current animals we have that are, I have the antidote of the box jellyfish, the man o war, poisonous dart frog and cone snail, but I didn''t get the venom of the tarantula yet..." *She sighed as she pats her shoulder on mine* "But don''t worry man," *I look at the one who''s just chilling, not talking, but they seem to be chill* "So uhm....hey, how are you?" *I look at him wondering why isn''t he just wanna say anything* "Oh, I''m just here, chilling, I don''t wanna be the guy who''s boastful anyways" *he replied* "Oh ok, what''s your name?" *I said to him, knowing his attitude he seems cool* "I''m Johan Cruyff, nice to meet you" *he looks politely trying to be nice to me* "I can speak in any language in the world if you wanna know, including deciphering and such" *He tells me as he talks a lil bit for me* "Woah, so you can talk like... Morse code and the ceaser cipher?" *I tell him as he gave a reasonable answer* "Actually yeah, but I can''t really speak ciphers, but I can in Morse code, and I can do it like I can speak normally" *he sways his hand* "Oh, but the way.... Does that mean you learned every language? Past to present?" *I replied* "Yeah,I actually do, it''s a hobby of me talking to other people if they are related to me, you can call me a brother if you want" *he shakes his hand* "Sure!" *I shake his hand, we are now brothers, but he''s a cool dude! Matter of fact, I think he''s one of a kind!" *As the others are shocked, a dude walks up looking like he''s confident,* "What''s up my brah?" *He tries to dap me but I don''t do that* "Oh, my bad brah, anyways I know you.., your that guy I saw that had no name correct?" *I nod as he tells me something* "Yes, I''m always correct" *he looks... Pretty confident...* "Anyways.... So what''s your na-" "I''m Enma Sukima, I''m the ultimate Winner" *I look at him confused* "Ultimate winner? What do you mean?" *I was confused, why is Enma Sukima the ultimate winner?* "Well.... I won many awards, and won too much, I basically have a room full of trophy''s, I''m basically a bit better than these guys, but for normal people, I''m impossible to win against" "Wait Really? So only Ultimates rival you? That''s amazing!" *He''s ... Super duper confident but he''s a good guy* "Anyways, I''m always the winner, no matter what scenario I am in, I always win, so... I''ll let everyone here do their own thing because I''m a good guy" "Wow okay..." "Call me Enma, because I know you want full names," *wait... How does he read me?* "Don''t worry about it" *he walks away in a cool pose* "Alright, you have met like five people so that''s that .." *Meri kero sighs* "There''s more, but I think that''s enough for today" "Oh ok" *I said to her as she is exhausted* "Anyways, have you gotten some of your memory back?" *Meri kero told me* "No...I tried to remember but I couldn''t," *I exclaimed, being sad* "Oh well, take your time, but I don''t even know where we are so..." *Meri kero grunt* "I''m going to investigate all of these rooms and places" *Meri kero replied with exhausted* "Go ahead" *I replied* *As she goes outside Aiko whispers to her ear* "You like her huh? You two always together" *she smirks* "GAH! Jeez you scared me" *I was frightened* "Well....shes the person I spent the time with" *I explained to not confused her* "That''s reasonable" *she nods* "But if you need girl or relationship advice tell me!" *She shouts as the others hears it too* "Shut up!!!" *I was annoyed at her because she embarrassing me to everyone* *As I go through the hallways I went to the library to see some others* "Ah... Do you perhaps read books?" *A green haired girl with glasses come up to me as I approach the library,* "Uhm... No? Have we met?" *I was wondering why she would talk to me* "Nope, but I had a feeling we did, right now," *she exclaims* "Boys first!" *She opens the door for me* "Uhm.. you go instead of me..." *Turned her choice down* "Oh really? Thanks!" *She goes inside as I see some students there* "Ah... It''s the boy..." *The person replied* "Ignore him" *she replied to me* "So... What''s your name?" *I see her grabbing books right now* "Oh, I''m Ana Togoshi, you can call me Ana for short" *she replied with sincerity* "What do you do?" *I replied* "Im an scientist, a pretty good one at that you know" *she said it with confidence* "Uhm...ok, Ana, Who''s that person over there?" *His clothes were dragged, almost like it was ripped, but it was good to wear* "He''s Denki Daiki, he usually doesn''t likes talking,but he''s the Ultimate Hunter" "I see...." *I was shaken to the fact that his aura is.... frightening...* "Anyways what brings you here to the library?" *Ana said* "Oh I was trying to find out what is this place.... " *I answered immediately as she nodded* "Yes... I also took trying to figure out where we are... But it doesn''t matter who we are.... We are ultimates no?" *Ana explained what is right, but I don''t even know who am i* "But... I''m not.. an ultimate... So is it fine?" *I replied, wanting to know if ana wants to trust me* "Well....At least your not stupid..." *Ana grabs books in the library* "Well... I found some info about this place... It''s a wooden built school filled with everything of the whole government globally donated to operate this school, not only is this the place for ultimates, but it''s specifically for the perfect place to be in if there''s an apocalypse, it''s like it''s stopping us to get out of this place to keep us away... From something..." *Ana Flipped through the pages in the school book and found some pictures* "I checked others books but I only found the ultimates in different hope''s peak distributed everywhere, there''s the ultimate lucky student, ultimate swimmer, and ultimate gambler" "Woah..., there''s different schools? Why not just create one school for everyone to be in?" *Ana nodded but she said something that contradicts it,* "Yeah... I also was wondering, but it''s in each continent, somewhere in Asia, and ones in South America" *wow.... She did research a lot in just 3 hours? "So... Do you know where are we?" *I asked* "... I don''t know either..." *Ana replied with sadness" "... So... can we know where are we? We have a scientist AND a mathematician? If you group together you guys can find out a way out!" "Yeah... Your right" *Ana replied* "Yeah, I think yo u should meet her!" *I said in a nice tone* *Ding Dong Ding Dong!!* "I have an special announcement to make! Please go to the main hall! It''s urgent!" *Monokuma said in a happy tone* "Hm? What happened? Lets go check it out" *Ana replied* TREE OF DESPAIR CHAPTER 2 Tree Of Despair Chapter Three "Let''s go" *I told her* *drops aiko books in the table* "alright" *Me and Aiko went to the hallway as I see one too, one wearing heavy equipment while dashing through into the hallway* "Damn she''s fast..." *I run towards ogiro who was also walking to the hallway* "Hey I wonder what monokuma will be announcing?" *I said to him as he also questions the same* "Yeah... probably something Dangerous" *Aiko talk to ogiro* "Oh ogiro this is Aiko, and aiko this is ogiro" "Hello," *ogiro raises his hand "Hi..." *Aiko shyly covers her face* *I open the door to see other students in the hallway, some where sitting in the couch while others are waiting for monokuma* "Oh! Hello!" *She talks to me as I also greet her "Hi! Uhm... Do you know what''s happening?" *I talked to her as she looks down* "Well... I think it''s something....bad..." *She exclaims* *Bang!* "Welcome welcome! We meet again on this fine assembly! Is everyone here????" *Monokuma seen on the top of the hall way was looking at the students" *Silence* "Well... Everyone is here!" *Monokuma says* "Why did you bring us here?" *Meri kero replied to monokuma as monokuma says something thats... Not good* "Well... It appears that one day will end... Until.... The Killing game...." *Monokuma says with evil intent as everyone is terrified and forgotten the killing game* "Well well well.... You students are Smart and Beautiful as ever!, I should tell you that one of you...has been chosen as the blackend! And someone... Is the killer!" *Monokuma replied as he was "What? No way.....Is it true" *Guy was frightened, he was wearing what appears to be a full of items that are for jungling* "That is... True! Tomorrow One of you will be as the blackened!" "W...What? One of us is going to die?....no way... No absolutely way...." *A guy is frightened by monokuma* "Hey, listen us fellas, all of us are going to be alive no matter what" *kotohari said* "We won''t kill each other no matter what!" *Aiko vemon says trying to cheer everyone up* *Everyone agrees but monokuma smirks* "Puhuhuhu..you thought that it was simple as that?, you simpletons!" *Monokuma was shouting at everyone "Huh? What do you mean we can''t just not kill everyone?" *I replied to monokuma to it* "Yes.... The killing game continues no matter what.... And your forced to do it" *monokuma shriek a with happiness as monokuma laughs* "No....That...can''t..be..." *I was frightened....this...isn''t...real...we have to ACTUALLY kill each other?.....* "Alright listen up!" *Kotohari shouts to everyone as each of us is looking at him* "No matter what... We won''t kill each other!" *Kotohari says* "Yeah he''s right... If we stick together and find the master mind... We can fully help everyone to ever surviving this place!" *Aiko vemon says this as everyone also agrees* "...HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH, YOU THINK THAT''S GOING TO HAPPEN? no way at all!" *Monokuma replied to Aiko and the others as monokuma also reveals another rule" "Remember, there is a Time limit, so Anyone who doesn''t kill will all die!" *Monokuma laughs* *Everyone is shocked and not happy...* "And so....

I cant tell you, but if I trust you....you might kill me" *he looks at me while staring at the books* "Okay, what happens if the plan fails?" *I said to him while he walks to the door* "You will see, but let''s take a break first" *kotohari slams the door as I am alone on the hallway, it seems that I should go, but I have a feeling there''s clues to this place than meets the eye" *I start looking around the place, to see if I can find anything at all, but all I could find was ordinary books with pictures* "I tried to find something on the floor, but I couldnt find an *I kept trying to find clues but all of them were garbage and trash, I still have to find out this place, so I should ask Ana for help" *I go to the library to see Denki daiki, and I see Ana Togoshi on the table writing something on the paper* "Hey, I was wondering if you find any clues to this library, did you find some?" *She looks at me with a shocked expression* "W-what?" *She covers the papers* "Wait, I wasnt done yet..." *She grabs the papers as she holds it in her chest* "I-i would show you but I''m not done yet...." *She hurrily grabs the papers but she tell me something* "I found some documents f-from the upper deck, but all I found was the schools history" *she said as she goes to somewhere* "But right now...

Kotohari?" *I try to open it and it was opened,* *I see his bedroom, with blueprints for something....I look at the bed, it has no blanket..* "Kotohari?! Where are you?" *I kept shouting And see the bathroom and no one''s there,* "Where are you-" *I look at the curtains as it blows wind....* "Huh?" *I go to see the opened window, with blankets tied up to make a rope and under the rope it''s a trashbin* "What? I should go to Meri kero" *I went and run towards the dining room* "Meri kero! Kotohari isn''t in his room!" *Meri kero looks at me* "What? He isn''t there?..." *Meri kero was looking towards me* "Where could he been off to?" *Ram shukiya says* "Let''s find him," *mike Seveon starts to run towards the dorms trying to find him* "I''ll go outside" *Meri kero raises her hand* "Same, let''s go" *I go to her also* "I saw a bunch of blankets tying up inside in his dorm, he probably went outside" *I asked her* "Well then, let''s go outside then" *Meri kero starts to run outside as I also go with her as Ana Togoshi also goes* "Wait for me!!!" *Ana Togoshi comes with us as we enter the door* *We were outside as we walk to the garbage bin, as we went behind the schools side to see a large bin,* "The rope!" *Ana togoshi sees the window with the tied up blankets dangling on the garbage bin* "Let''s check the garbage bin" *Meri kero says this as I also go search* *I check the garbage bin, all was left was some clothes and a bunch of leafs* "He''s not there...." *I said* "Where could he be?" *Ana togoshi looks around* "There''s wet footprints leading to the forest... He''s probably going to go there.." *I said* "He could have just been going outside... But why the rope?..." *Ana togoshi says* "Let''s go to the forest," *we ran hurriedly* *While running the whole forest was going left and right, with a sacket full of heavy rocks,, there was blood on the ground,* *There was a trip wire tied to the bottom of the two trees* "Be careful...." *Meri keros says while Ana falls down and a ringing sound is heard* "Oof!" *Ana got injured as Meri kero goes to her* *Luckily, it wasn''t bleeding* "I went and see her on the floor taking as rest," "You should go, I need to tend to her wounds" *Meri kero replied* *I went to the forest,* *I ram hurriedly, and the mud footprints gotten faded and faded away,* *I saw a camp site as I stop on the tracks* "Where are you?" *What I saw was a fire place, with a barbecue and wooden sticks, which covered in blood,* *I kept looking through the place as I see blue and red tents,* "Maybe he''s here," *I checked around the red tent, and the only thing was there, was a blanket and the red and blue pens, which had a paper underneath* "I gotta check the blue tent," *I checked the blue tent, which has a blanket and a wooden sharp stick, while there''s some holes on the tent* *And then I heard Meri kero scream* "Hey!!!! Where are you?!?!??!?!" *Meri kero screams as she comes into the tent* "Meri kero?" *I hurriedly shout loud* "Im here! I am here!!!" *I shouted, as Meri keros steps were heard, stomping the ground* "I thought you were tending the wound to Ana?" *I said with a confused look* "She''s fine, she found some leaves where she could cover the wounds" *Meri kero started to see mud prints going deep on the forest,* "Let''s look over here," *Meri kero says while I stand up* "Yeah, lets check there" *We went behind the blue tent to see the footprint leading somewhere* "I see something there but the bushes are hiding it, *Meri kero says* "Let''s go check," *I grabbed the bushes* *What I saw.... Gave me a chill on the spine,*. *Kotohari is......dead...Lying down face down at the floor, a large stick stabbing at his back, with scribbles of pen in his arm* *I screamed as I saw it, Meri kero also shocked* *And then... I fell down, asleep* "Hey... Wake up!" *Meri kero see me as my eyes close* TREE OF DESPAIR CHAPTER 3
