Profound Bonds: Persona 3 Reader Insert

New Beginnings

"NOOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN! I SWEAR THAT THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!!"  I yell as the animation of my character dying once again appears on the screen. I'm blue in the face with anger. This was the hundredth time that I had died from that stupid SHADOW, and I'm getting sick of it. You see, school has let out for the summer so I have taken this time to catch up on my gaming. I would have finished this game a lot sooner if I hadn't gotten buried up to my neck in schoolwork and projects. What game has caught my attention you may ask? It is none other than the game known as Persona 3 Portable. After I finished FEZ I decided to see if there were any sequel games and I end up stumbling across the little beauty I am now immersed in. I wouldn't have gotten it if it didn't have the aspect of playing the female character. Since I have already beat this game I was pretty much confident with my skills and decide that I could definitely take on expert mode. Obviously this has not gone as planned. I ran into the brick wall known as the Hanged Man Shadow.

"(Y/N)! STOP YOUR SCREECHING! SOME PEOPLE HAVE LIVES IN THE MORNING!!!" (sibling's name) yells through the thin walls while banging on said wall.

"No you don't! All you do is  snapchat, instagram, and stay inside all day you little shit... " I sigh as I enter the menu screen. 

'Do I wanna start where I left off? Nah, I think I'll just restart the game. '

As I delete that last save file I look at the time in the corner of the screen on my PSP and see that its already 10:49. I'll just start the new game again and then go to bed. Maybe this time I might be able to save Shinjiro. I was a little too late in starting a bond with the guy because I was playing in expert mode. I had one more rank up and still couldn't save him. That was some shit and we all know it.

As I create my new save file I come to the fated 'choose your gender screen'. I am tempted to choose Minato, but refrain and choose Minako. I'm a little disheartened that Atlus and Kaneko-sensei didn't add Minato as another support character in Minako's story. I thought it would have been a nice add on to the game. I guess it wasn't in the budget or they didn't have the time to.

After I'm done making my new save file I play up until the point preform the first save. I put the PSP to sleep and plug it in to charge. I don't turn off the game because I know that as soon as I wake up that the first thing I'll do is play that game. I decide that I wanna take a shower before I go to bed and proceed with my nightly routine.

I get into the bed around 11:30 and as soon as my head hits the soft pillow, I'm out like a light.

Not even what seems like one minute later there is a faint glowing behind my eyelids. I sit up in bed and rub the sleep out of my eyes. I grab my phone and check the time. It reads 3:36. I look around for the source that was disturbing my sleep to only see that the light was coming from my PSP. I could have sworn that I turned it off before I went to sleep. Oh. My. God. I swear if this turns out like creepy pasta fanfics where BEN DROWNED hops out, I will literally piss myself.

I slowly make my way to the computer desk, peering at the screen of the PSP. On the screen was Pharos. It seemed as if he was waiting for something which is a little unnerving if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice kid and all, but his first impression wasn't the best one if you ask me. His iridescent eyes rove around the screen; as if he's looking for something. Then he spots me and a smile spreads across his face. It wasn't a creepy smile, but a soft, happy one.

"Hello there (Y/n). I have been waiting for you a long time..."

"What in the goddamn-- ugh!?"

I trip over the charger cord and crumble to the floor with loud *whump*-- and down comes the hand-held device with me.
