The instant I took a step forward...
My view became warped, twisted.
It was like some kind of delusion, melting away and mixing together into something else. Spinning, mixing, melting away, then spinning again...
And the next moment...
Everything went black.
That was how it all began...
And that's how life as I knew it came to an end.
At that point, I should have realized...
The reason I was brought to Hope's Peak Academy wasn't because I was the Ultimate Assassin. (That is such a overused talent but still I'm not original XD)
It was so I could experience Ultimate Despair...
WELCOME TO DESPAIR

...Nng?
I looked up from the desk.
'Wh-What?' I mumbled. Where am I?
I woke up with my head resting on top of a hard wooden desk. My body feels... heavy.
It's normal for me to fall asleep in the middle of some boring class, but...
What was I doing asleep here just now?
This isn't a classroom I've ever been in before.
'What is going on...?' I mumble. I looked over and see...
'What the heck...?' I yelped. In any normal classroom, that's where a window should be.
But it looks like some kind of metal plate has been bolted over it.
And if I were to knock on it...
*Bang Bang*
'Yup. Definitely metal. Thick, too. Very solid.' I mumbled, staring at the solid metal where the window should've been placed.
I looked over at the desk I sat at. There was some sort of... orientation guide? It's some kind of cheap-looking pamphlet. And there's something hand written on it.
"The next semester is about to start,
Starting today, this school will be your entire world."
'What the hell...is this a joke?' I mumbled. I should just go.
I open the door. Jeez... this hallway is kind of weird, too. It was purple. 'I'll just head to the main hall...'
I found it in a... green hallway? Maybe the halls are colour coded.
By the time I got back to the main hall...
Everyone else was already there, I assumed.
'Whoa, Hey! Another new kid?' Someone asks.
I sighed. 'Apparently.'
'We're all new here, today's supposed to be our first day of class.' Someone else says,
'So counting her, that makes fourteen. Seems like a good cutoff point, but I wonder if this is everyone...'
As if on cue, someone appears behind me. I yelped and moved. 'Sorry.' I mumbled. He smiled nervously.
'So... you guys are all...' He mumbled.
'Yeah, we're all new here. This is our first day of class.'
'So this is fifteen. This seems like a good cutoff point.'
So these are the... ultimate students, huh?
I looked around, taking their faces in, one by one. I felt some sort of aura from everyone.
'Um... how's it going? My names Makoto Naegi.' The boy says from behind me. 'Sorry I'm late. A bunch of stuff happened and then all of a sudden, I was just... asleep.' He answers, scratching the back of his neck.
'You too? That happened to me...' I replied, sighing. 'Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser.' The girl says, who had red eyes. She's kinda creepy. Not nice to judge someone from their looks, though.
'So strange... I declare beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is a strange situation indeed!' Another guy yells.
'I have no idea what's going on.' Makoto mumbled.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
