The world of Persona 5 is different. No Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya = No Joker. So what will fate do to cover for this issue?
Meet Takuma Shirase, the delinquent transfer student in this new retelling of Persona 5. From new or familiar characters, to the new perspective that this protagonist takes on this woorld that he lives in, join his journey as he conquers Palace for Palace with his version of the Phantom Thieves.
(P.S. Corny description, I know. I'll try to make the quality as good as possible, but of course for those who read my 70 chapters of Bleach: New Generation, you know its not guaranteed, haha. Also, sorry for the bad quality cover)
(P.P.S. Not gonna bother adding images...BUUUUUUUUUUUUT if you just send a link to one, I'll probably add it based on the context of the chapter...but don't send me weird stuff)
Oh yeah, did I mention I also post the same story on AO3? Well, there you go.
Anyway, Enjoy!

But things seem to get worse, as he gets in arguments and finally decides to be a shut-in. The Phantom Thieves try to reach out to him, but nothing seems to be able to get to Ren. With a little bit of help, the group of teens manage to access the Metaverse that has reformed once again. And to their surprise, they discover a palace. A palace who the ruler is none other than Ren Amamiya himself. I don't own Persona 5 or any of its characters. Artwork displayed is not mine unless otherwise stated. (In this A.U, the events of Persona 5 Strikers/Scramble never occured. This is because I started writing this before it was even released, and I don't want to go back and rewrite this whole story. Besides, then it would contain spoilers from the sequel, and I don't want problems with that.)Complete

My Key Item (Joker X Futaba) Persona 5 Royal
After months of getting to know and love Futaba Sakura, knowing that she is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with, it's all ripped away by one man. Takuto Maruki has decided that people cannot be allowed to think for themselves, and that they should never have to feel pain, well, unless you interfere with his plan. After being thoroughly trounced by the Phantom Thieves, Maruki makes one last ditch attempt to break the theives, and kills Futaba. In his blind rage, Akira Kurusu, otherwise known as Joker takes matters into his own hands, and stops the mad God in his tracks. Time reverts to its original self, with Akechi dead and gone and Maruki and Futaba alive and well, and Akira in Juvinile Detention. After being freed from prison, he finds out that something went wrong when the timeline was restored. Futaba knows him not as her lover, but merely as his friend. Now Akira must find a way to cope with this new life in Hometown, while trying to juggle the return of the Metaverse, and Futaba tries to find her way through the complex feelings she has for Joker, but can't quite explain, as well as the dreams that almost feel like memories. Will she push through and recover her memories and her love? Or will she and Akira both fade into the Mementos of what they have lost. I took a couple liberties with events and the Timeline, but overall, I stayed fairly close to the original game's story. This is a passion project that sprung to mind while driving, and now I'm hyperfixated... Welp, time to churn out a book. ENJOY READING IT!!

Renewed Moon Arcana - (OC/Reader x Persona 5 Royal) - DISCONTINUED
DISCONTINUED Apologies for the inconvenience, but I've lost passion for this book, more specifically, writing so many characters, especially some of the more tricky ones, that I have probably put out of character. I really hope you enjoyed my story... --------------------------------------------------- But Bharu will return once more... It won't be long before he will find another problem with the world... --------------------------------------------------- What if Mishima Yuuki was not the one to form the moon arcana with Ren, and instead was with Bharu Sakura? Bharu Sakura is the blood related brother of futaba sakura and sojiro's eldest child. He formed a bond with Joker(Who i'm going to refer to as Ren) before Mishima, forming the moon arcana. (Mishima forms the eye arcana - Refencing the Phan-site.) How does this affect the whole story? Read to find out! --------------------------------------------------- Best ratings #8 In Persona5 #15 in Persona5RoyalComplete
I Became The Scoundrel In The Popular Dating Sim
Pro Tip: Never play a game 100 different times, no matter how addicting it is! ~My Lovely Harem School Life~ Just like the cringy name suggests, it's a well-known dating sim that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines, fun story, and most importantly, the significance of the player's choices that influence the endings. ...But why did I end up transmigrating into the scummiest character in the game, Yagami Reiji, the heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash that harassed the main cast, the trash that bullied the students, and the trash that ultimately 'steals' the heroines if the player makes the wrong decisions. A walking bad ending. Why me? And out of every possible role... why him? Now, I'm trapped in a life that isn't mine, surrounded by classmates who flinch at my presence and a father who expects me to inherit an empire built on blood. Can I rewrite Reiji's fate before his past drags me down with him? Can I live a normal school life when the shadows of the underworld are watching my every move? I've got multiple targets on my back, a reputation in flames, and to make matters worse, the original protagonist is somehow a complete moron. This isn't a dating sim anymore. This is my reality..... *** Patreon: patreon.com/Ares_00 You can access: - Up to 40 advance chapters - Updated Character Images (Free) - Fun and interactive polls - Private community - Fan requests - And MUCH MORE
