Hey guys. So I thought I would try something new, something I planned a long time ago but never really touched on. One of my favorite video games of all time is The World Ends with You. So a couple years ago, I had the idea to pretty much convert the entire game into a book/story format because there are some people out there that don't play video games, but love to read. In my opinion this game has a fantastic storyline and deserves to be shared with a lot of people. So that's basically what this new story of mine is: my take on what TWEWY would be as a book. Be aware that there are some parts that I've added just to add clarity and coherence to the story for the sake of it becoming a book. For example, this entire prologue section doesn't even exist in the actual game. With all that said, I do hope you enjoy this new segment. This prologue isn't too long so it shouldn't take up too much of your time. I made this years ago and it might not be good by any means, so feel free to be brutally honest as always. Have a great day!

Prologue

He's the one. That boy is my choice as proxy. He'll provide some entertainment.

Oh, forgive me, I didn't see you there. I guess I should be the one to tell you. So, welcome to Shibuya. For those of you who don't know, Shibuya is the huge shopping district in Tokyo, Japan. It's so large; some consider it to be its own city. For the sake of you Americans, I'll try to stick to English. Shibuya is a wonderful place to live if you like good ramen and stylish citizens. But this place is full of evil as well.

How do I know so much? Why, because I own Shibuya, of course. I'll keep my name a secret for now. You can just call me The Composer. Even though I lead this place, I absolutely hate it here. It's nothing but self-righteousness, greed, and death under a glamorous veil of neon lights.

Soon, a special event will occur. The stakes are the rights to choose whether Shibuya will stay, or be utterly destroyed.

My two top underlings, The Conductor and The Producer, will help me organize this event. The Conductor rules over none other than the beings of darkness from the underworld, the Reapers. I would not go so far as to call The Conductor the devil, for I like to keep that title for myself. The Reapers are the "bad guys" in this game, but they also have to follow the rules.

Now, The Producer is the leader of the Guardians. Guardians are the "peacekeepers", which means they make sure contestants as well as Reapers follow the rules. The Producer has made quite an impact on young people as of late. Despite his laid-back attitude, he packs some serious power.

Now, back to my first matter. I am currently standing on top of the famous 104 (Ten-Four) building. I'm overlooking the crowded Scramble Crossing. I have spotted a boy in whom I have chosen as my representative in the upcoming

game. He is smarting off to a passerby who got in his way.

"Outta my face! You're blocking my view!"

He certainly has a way with words doesn't he? The passerby retaliates and the boy replies:

"Shut up! Stop talking. Just go the hell away."

He then places on his headphones to block out the world and walks away. I can show you his thoughts if you'd like.

"All the world needs is me. I got my values. So you can keep yours, all right? I don't get people. Never have, never will."

I have chosen him because of this very attitude. He shares my feelings for this wretched city. Making him the perfect proxy for me. I apologize, but I must go. I have an appointment in a dark alley. So goodbye, for now.

You will be hearing from me very soon.

Welcome to Shibuya.
