They thought they made it.
The world lied in ruins, sunk into bloody despair. Whether it will recover, or become like it used to be, rudimentarily, was rather doubtful. Junko Enoshima's death brought some new hope, aroused the confidence that the Future Foundation could reach their goal after all. People were talking about a future without despair.
But suddenly, some new video footage emerged. It seemed as if all their efforts were in vain, as if Junko Enoshima had never died. They all understood the message: You can't extinguish despair...
The suffering started with hope. Seventeen students received their invitation for the Hope's Peak Academy. With their beating hearts, they were ready to use their only Ultimate Talent for conveying new hope. Back then, they didn't know they had to pay for a grisly message...
A/N: First of all, I have to admit that this story ain't property of me, it's a translation of a German FanFiction I really like. I just have fun translating stories, both mine and others. So, now that this is out of the way, I would like to add that English is NOT my native language. Which means: If I make any mistakes with spelling, grammar or vocabulary, don't be mad.
Anyways, I really hope you enjoyed this little prologue; I'll try uploading the following chapters ASAP, so stay tuned for more! :)
