This is my first Fanfic, and it is Saimatsu from Danganronpa V3. Without spoiling much, this AU consists of all the deceased participants of the killing game surviving, but there's a catch..

ah yes, another drv3 story. saimatsu/amamatsu based OoP in this book, drv3 was a virtual simulation. you'd stay inside that virtual world until you died. once you died, you'd come back to the real world and live your life as if nothing happened. because once you died, you also lost your memories of what happened. but there was a mistake in this season of danganronpa nobody knew about. everyone's memories stayed. once they died, they'd remember. their in-game personas also stayed. kaede akamatsu, the first executed, vowed to find everyone else who participated in the 53rd killing game, and become friends with them like she promised. there wasn't a trace of the "i have zero faith in humanity" kaede. there was only "i believe in all of you!" (okay so for saimatsu/amamatsu, kaede still loves shuichi and shuichi loves her back, but in the course of time where its just rantaro and kaede in the real world, rantaro falls in love with kaede.)

A non-despair Danganronpa au. The Ultimates are forced into the New Hopes Peak Academy, forced to live there for the rest of their lives. After their first moments together The Ultimate Detective, Shuichi Saihara and The Ultimate Pianist, Kaede Akamatsu begin to develop feelings for each other.Too scared to confess to one another they rely on their friends Kaito Momota and Maki Harukawa for support

After surviving the V3 killing game, Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko wake up to a place they haven't seen before...and are treated to a hopeful surprise, but even after their wonderful surprise, it seems as though the killing game isn't over just yet...
