(A/N: The first 4 chapters of this story are reuploads from an alternate account)

"The Phantom Thieves will be praised and gain fame. The world will escape ruin as well." Said the False God. "What say you?"

The girl in blue knew very well that the Trickster would not accept the offer that was laid out right before him. She knew that the false God was afraid of him, and would do anything to win, just out of pure desperation. The Trickster that she-... no, that they had known all this time would never give in to the God's temptation.

"Very well then…"

… That thought was put to rest immediately upon hearing him utter those words. The girl's head snapped towards the Trickster, and stared at him in utter disbelief.

"Our contract has been sealed then." The False God chuckled.

"It's a good deal." The Trickster smiled, not a pure one of course, but one of malice.

"...A pact between a false god and a human we placed our hopes on. Even we could not have predicted this." The girl muttered. "You have undone my master's wish… You are a Trickster after all…"

"You are truly a child of man… It seems you couldn't win against your own desires." The God chuckled once again. "There is no need to be ashamed. I shall grant you that wish…"

The God proceeded to perform a spell, following his promise to the Trickster. The moment he performed the spell, the area briefly became clouded in darkness. Eventually, the room had returned to its former lighting. The only difference was that the Trickster had now disappeared.

"Now…" The false God turned to the girl in blue. "Onto more important matters…"

"You...You won't win Yaldabaoth." The girl said. "You may have manipulated one Trickster, but you will eventually repent for your sins when another Wild Card user arises."

"I am well aware that another Wild Card user will come to stop me in the future." Yaldabaoth responded. "However, whether they'll have the willpower and determination to stop me is a different story. Although there are many Wild Card users in this world, many have never completed their journeys."

"T-That is true, but-"

"Enough talk, child." Yaldabaoth started to make their way toward the girl. "Your usefulness has been long overdue. Thank you for being a such a viable asset to my guest's rehabilitation. Farewell…"

…

…

…

"Killing me was your first mistake of many."

Saturday

Midnight

"Hey, kid. We're almost at the new place, wake up."

It was late in the evening, perhaps close to midnight. A large truck could be seen moving through a dark neighborhood. The truck's headlights were the only visible lights in the entire area.

"Geez, is this place in the middle of a blackout? We've picked a shit time to move in…" The man who was operating the moving truck sighed. "Hey, you still asleep? We're going to be at the new house in a couple minutes, you better wake up."

The man driving the truck looked up at the rearview mirror and started to smooth out his black hair, which was a bit messy from the car ride. This man had been traveling for a full 24 hours, but surprisingly, he didn't seem to be tired.

Before long, the truck came to a stop outside a house. The house didn't look to be in the greatest condition, but it seemed inhabitable just from looking at the exterior design.

"The front is different than I remember...Well, that can't be a bad thing, right?" The man driving asked himself. He proceeded to look back up at the rearview mirror and sighed. The man took up the travel mug that was resting in the cup holder beside him and threw it into the back of the truck.

There was a slight groan coming from behind the man. The man proceeded to turn off the engine for the truck and stepped out of the vehicle. Meanwhile, in the back of the truck, a boy who appeared to have white haired was sprawled out on a blanket fast asleep. After some time, the boy yawned and sat up.

"Uncle Kazuto, are we there yet…?" The white-haired boy asked.

"I've said it plenty times already, are you deaf for something?" The man now identified as the boy's uncle asked. "Yeah, we're here already. Get out of the back and come outside already."

The boy groaned some more and started to make his way out of the vehicle, he looked at himself in the rearview mirror. Unlike his uncle, he had messy hair which he didn't bother to fix, and apparently two different colored eyes. His left one being red, and the right one looked like it was olive green.

The white-haired boy jumped out of the truck and looked at his uncle, who had just put a pack of cigarettes away in his coat pocket. His Uncle looked at him and motioned him to follow him, the two made their way to the back of the truck.

"First things first, we're gonna have to carry that shut in's belongings before anything else." Kazuto sighed. "God knows that once she and Yui get here tomorrow, she's gonna lock herself in that room."

Kazuto took out a key and used it on the lock that was keeping the storage compartment of the truck shut. Once he unlocked it, he pushed it up until he was sure that his nephew would have enough space to enter.

"I'm going to go unlock the door, just start moving stuff out of the truck, alright?" Kazuto asked, in which his nephew nodded showing that he understood.

The white-haired boy climbed into the back of the truck and started with the boxes that he knew were a pain to deal with. Kazuto walked to the front door of the house and started looking for the key that was meant for the door. After a few minutes of searching, he found the right key and opened the door.

The house looked just as worn out on the inside as it was on the outside, although a little cleaning and painting would make everything look better. The house had 2 floors, 1 bathroom on each floor. There were four bedrooms in the house, one on the bottom floor, and three on the top.

"Even the inside is different from last time…" Kazuto said. "Those guys at the real estate office sure did SOME work…"

Kazuto turned around to check on his nephew and his progress, at that same moment, he witnessed the boy fall out of the storage compartment with a box in his arms. Kazuto sighed once again but started to chuckle to himself after.

"Alright, that's all her stuff I think, " Kazuto told the boy.

After an hour or so of moving a variety of objects, one of the rooms was filled to the brim with many different sized boxes and bins. The white-haired boy and Kazuto took a minute to admire their work before turning to each other and shaking their heads.

The two males exited the room, and the boy proceeded to close the door behind him.

"I'll deal with the more important stuff, the furniture can wait till the morning," Kazuto said to his nephew. "You get on over to your room and get some sleep. Tomorrow's going to be a real busy day for everyone."

The white-haired boy nodded showing that he understood what his uncle was telling him. Kazuto gave the boy a pat on the back before walking down the stairs and disappearing from his sight.

The boy entered a room at the very end of the hallway, this room had only a bed, a lamp that sat on top of an unopened box, and a couple of bins that were stuffed into a closet. The kid sat on the edge of the bed and stared down at his feet and closed his eyes.

"Finally…" The boy whispered.

After a minute or so, the boy raised his head and opened his eyes. The moment he did, however…

"Greetings…"

The boy came into contact with a girl who was much smaller than him. She had a bit of a gentle aura surrounding her. The most noticeable features about the girl were her glowing yellow eyes, her paler than normal skin tone, and her blue dress..

The two stared at each other for what seemed like minutes, and as time went on, the boy's urge to scream was getting harder and harder to control.

"Please do not scream, I'm not here to cause you any harm." The girl told the boy. "I'm only here to get… information about you."

"Information…?"

The small girl snapped her fingers and a tome that appeared to be floating appeared in between both her and the boy. The book proceeded to open and flip through dozens of pages, all of which had names written in them.

Finally, the pages had quit turning themselves and had stopped on a blank page. The boy looked at the tome in awe, as he was amazed by the display that took place right in front of him. The boy soon realized that there was a pen in his hand.

"Please sign your name." The girl asked the boy.

The boy stared at the girl again, he had a very confused look on his face this time. The girl was waiting patiently for the boy to make a move.

"What is this for...?"

"I can't disclose that information just yet…" The girl answered. "For now, please sign your name."

"But-"

"Just sign your name already!"

For a moment, the girl had lost all composure and shouted at the boy. He was taken aback by her response and didn't exactly know how to respond. The girl realized what she had said and bowed before the boy.

"My apologies…" She said apologetically.

Deciding not to risk angering her anymore, the boy did what the girl first asked him to do and signed his name with the pen. When he was done, he double checked to make sure that he spelled his name correctly. Once he was absolutely sure, the pen in his hand disappeared and the book turned to the girl.

"...Ayumu, Masa?" The girl asked. "Am I correct with the pronunciation?"

The boy nodded. The girl stared at the book for quite a bit, this filled his stomach with butterflies for some reason, but he wasn't exactly sure why. Finally, the suspense had left when the girl took the book, closed it, and tucked it under her arm.

"Thank you so much for cooperating." The girl thanked him. "I have confidence that you might be the one…"

"What are you talking about?"

In response to Masa's question, the girl walked over and stopped right in front of the white-haired boy. The girl took both of Masa's and hands and clasped them together, she then closed her eyes and started to hum what sounded like a lullaby. All Masa did was tilt his head in confusion as the girl did what she did.

"There will be a time when you finally realize your purpose in the world..." The girl in blue said. "And no matter what happens, always fight back, even if they're telling you not to..."

"I'm really confused." Masa was having a trouble finding meaning in the girl's words.

"The next time we meet, you will learn more about the situation at hand." The finally opened her eyes and looked at the boy. "But until that time comes, please try not to-"

The girl disappeared. Before she could finish saying what she had to say, she had vanished into thin air. Masa was now practically staring at the wall, no words to could describe how confused the boy really was.

"...I should really head to sleep…" The boy sat there for a few more minutes before saying. "These hallucinations have been getting weirder and weirder…"

The boy flopped onto his back and landed on his pillow. The uncomfortable silence of the night had made it a bit difficult for him to drift off to sleep. Eventually, sleep had started to overtake him as his eyelids were beginning to get heavy. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

Heyo! How's everyone doing today? I hope you liked the first chapter of Persona: Realm of Dreams.

The Persona games have very lengthy and detailed stories, characters, and much more. Although my writing will never come close to the writing of the Persona games, I would certainly love to make an attempt.

With that being said, I want to find ways to improve this story, whether it be the character development or the overall plot. So feel free to give me tips on how I can improve!

The next chapter is already being written and may be longer than this one depending on how much free time I have. So stay tuned for what I have in store, and I'll see you all next time!
