MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DANGANRONPA V3 KILLING HARMONY! This is a Saimatsu fic (Danganronpa's Shuichi Saihara x Kaede Akamatsu) where Kaede is not found as the blackened in the first class trial. The two have to survive the killing game together while keeping as many people alive as possible. There will be other ships in this story, but the prime one will be Saimatsu (my OTP). The story will loosely follow the DRV3 story with a few differences here and there including (but not limited to) blackened, victims, rooms in the Ultimate Acadamy, and executions. This story is a work of fiction written by a fan of the original work, and is not part of the official storyline of the franchise that inspired it.

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.)
