I do not own Danganronpa. All of its assets go to Spike Chunsoft.

I, Kana Ohno, breathed the unclean air of the city deeply through my nose as I stepped out of the bus door. The busy urban atmosphere was foreign and unfamiliar to me, though not necessarily bad. If anything, it was interesting to have a change in environment once in a while.

A tall man wearing a surgical mask rudely bumped into me as he hurried down the crowded street. I tried to mutter, "Excuse me," but he was gone before I could even open my mouth. He must be late, or in a hurry for something important, I thought, giving the man the benefit of the doubt.

I sighed and looked skyward. There it was, Hope's Peak Academy, most prestigious school in Japan, and even around the world. I was already enrolled to be an Ultimate at said academy, and it was my first day of enrollment.

To be honest, I was nervous. I wasn't even that good of an Ultimate, and there was no doubt that there were going to be some big-shots in my class. But it was still special to be accepted into such a school, I decided, so I shouldn't worry.

Somebody had told me that my class was being called the Ultimates of the World... or, at least, something like that. It was meant to be a class for people from not only Japan, but other countries around the world. Despite being nervous about meeting new people, a part of me thought the idea of meeting students from other countries would be exciting.

Having not ever actually traveling anywhere else, students from foreign nations could be my way of contacting the world outside of Japan.

Finally making it to the beautiful steps at the front of the academy, I gazed at the huge school. Nobody else was walking in or out of the large doors of the school, a reminder of how special this opportunity was for me.

I marched up the steps and stopped at the doorway. I was finally here, at Hope's Peak. But... why did I have this feeling in the back of my head. It was a feeling of utter sadness and dismay. It was total despair.

This is ridiculous, I silently told myself, why am I feeling this way? It's called Hope's Peak Academy for Christ's sake, I was supposed to feel happy and uplifted. The complete opposite of what I was feeling now.

Resting my hand on the doorknob, the strong feeling of despair I felt only worsened. I quickly shoved the powerful emotion out of my head and swung the door open.

Then... everything went dark.

Thanks for reading! I know this chapter was short, but that's because it's just the prologue. Feel free to leave a review or PM me if you have any questions about anything, such as the SYOC.

I will be accepting around 15 to 19 characters from a large pool of OCs that you guys will make. I will be accepting only the most diverse and interesting characters, so don't be disappointed if yours isn't in the story. You are allowed to submit 3 OCs at most. I will be closing the SYOC on March 15th. Be noted that this may change.

OCs may only be sent through PMs. All others will be ignored.
