Author's Note


Just to let you know, you can also make your choice on my DeviantArt page, Kaizokuoniiorewanaru, where the first choice was made.

About the Persona 5 Royal Choice, I would like her main Persona to be from the Fool Arcana. After all, she is going to replace the main protagonist. ...Not in THIS case, mind you...

In THIS case, she is going to be following Sora on his adventures with the Keyblade. Her start will be in Destiny Islands!


"Hmm... This one looks promising. I'll choose this one." Chiaki stated, touching a picture of an island.

"Very well. In order to access that particular universe, I'll need you to enter a deep sleep, Chiaki." The Dragon Lord told.

"Why?"

"Because all good journeys... start in a deep sleep."

"Huh?"

Before Chiaki could ask further, she suddenly starts feeling sleepy.

'Vision... blurring...'

'I feel... so lightheaded...'

'Like I could... sleep... at... any... moment...'

"Do not worry, Chiaki. You won't be alone, even if you are."

With that, she fell asleep.


Chiaki woke up with a gasp while standing up. She found herself on stained glass, this glass showing one of her friends, a girl with blonde hair and a kimono. "Hiyoko...?" She hummed.

So much to do... so little time... Take your time, don't be afraid... Step forward. Can you do it?

"A voice... Not much choice but to play along..." Chiaki hummed. Before she could step forward...

Greetings!

A text box appeared in front of her, making her jump back a bit. "What the...? What is this...?"

I am your companion, T.X. Block! With me around, you'll be living your life like an RPG!

"My life... like an RPG?" Chiaki repeated.

Indeed. Here are the skills to get you started!

Obtained the following Skills: Observation, Weapon Proficiency, Shortcut Spot, Danger Sense, and Game's Reality!

Observation

LV 1 1 use to level up

This Skill allows the user to pull up various stats on a target of their choosing. This does not work against targets that are 50 levels above the user.

Weapon Proficiency

LV 1 Uses to level up depend on the weapon(s).

This Skill allows the user to wield a weapon, no matter how big or small it is. These weapons can be swords, guns, polearms, axes, and many more.

Shortcut Spot

LV 1 5 uses to level up

This Skill allows the user to spot shortcuts to take whenever they enter a race.

Danger Sense

LV 1 5 uses to level up

This Skill allows the user to sense danger coming their way. Will not work if the user does not think they are in danger.

Game's Reality

LV 1 10 uses to level up

This Skill allows the user to make whatever objects in a video game they are playing become reality. Uses MP depending on how large the object is. Small objects uses 3 MP. Medium uses 5 MP. Large uses 10 MP. Increased levels reduce the amount of MP needed and increases the size of objects that can be brought to reality.

...

"Okay, that's nice, but... what are MY stats?" Chiaki brought up.

...You're not going to think about what this crazy power is?

"...I've literally woken up in a black void and was talking to a dragon and you think this phases me?" Chiaki deadpanned.

...Fair enough. Opening stats now.

Chiaki Nanami

Title: Ultimate Gamer

LV 1 EXP 0 20 points to level up

HP: 20

MP: 15

STR: 3

INT: 5

DEF: 3

WIS: 2

DEX: 5

AGI: 3

LUK: 2

CHA: 4

"Okay... STR must be Strength... INT is Intelligence... DEF is Defense... WIS is Wisdom, DEX is Dexterity, AGI is Agility, LUK is... Luck... and CHA is either Charm or Charisma..." Chiaki guessed the abbreviations.

Indeed they are.

"...I guess I have to start somewhere..." Chiaki hummed. "Well, anyway, time to play along." She huffed before walking to the center of the stained glass. Around her appeared three pedestals.

Power sleeps within you.

One of the pedestals makes a shield appear. This shield is red in outline and black on the plate with a red mouse-like symbol on it.

If you give it form...

Another pedestal makes a staff appear. This staff is green and yellow on the handle and has a blue mouse-like model on the top.

It will give you strength.

The third pedestal makes a sword appear. This sword has a yellow sword guard with a red circle and a black mouse-like symbol in the circle as well as a blue handle.

Choose well.

QUEST ACTIVATED

Station of Awakening

Recommended LV: 1

Emerge from this dream with your life intact.

Reward: Weapon, Magic, 1 Gacha Token, and 5,000 Gold

"A Quest?" Chiaki huffed in confusion. "This is... a quest...?"

Don't question it, please. I'll tell you about it later.

"Okay... Hmm..." Chiaki hummed. "A staff, a shield, and a sword... I'll go with..."

The sword, right? An obvious choice as it's the only "weapon" compared to-

"I didn't ask you." Chiaki interrupted the text box which now goes to display three dots appearing one at a time. "I don't need you to hold my hand."

...Hand-holding mode deactivated.

"...You're one weird text box..." Chiaki noted before going to the shield.

The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?

"Yes." Chiaki nodded. After that, the shield disappears.

Your path is set. Now, what will you give up in exchange?

"Give up in exchange? Oh, now that's a bit interesting." Chiaki hummed. "I obviously can't give up the sword. I'll probably need some brawn." She pointed out. "So, the choice is obvious."

The staff, right?

"The staff." Chiaki affirmed.

Cool.

"Oh. Thanks. Okay, but first..." Chiaki trailed off before going to the sword.

The power of the Warrior. Invincible Courage. A sword of terrible destruction. You give up this power?

"No. I just wanted to know what you wanted to say about it." Chiaki stated before letting the sword go.

A true gamer at heart, you are...

"Of course. I'm the Ultimate Gamer, after all." Chiaki replied before going to the staff.

The power of the Mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. You give up this power?

"Yes." Chiaki nodded before the staff disappears.

You've chosen the power of the guardian. You've given up the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?

"It is." Chiaki declared before TX Block informs her:

By choosing the power of the guardian, your DEF and WIS have increased by 1! By giving up the power of the mystic, your INT and LUK have decreased by 1...

"Eh. Can't win them all." Chiaki shrugged before the pedestal she was on, along with the other ones, suddenly sink before she falls feet first onto the glass which shatters until Chiaki is made to fall. For some reason, Chiaki didn't feel like screaming, like this was meant to happen to move forward in the dream. She then sees another stained glass, this one looking like a pale blonde young lady who looks like an actual princess. "Sonia..." She let out before landing safely on the glass. After that, the shield reappears in her hands.

You are given the power to fight.

Chiaki swings it like she would a sword.

All right! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others.

...That is NOT how shields work.

Chiaki puffs her cheeks at TX. "It was the first thing that came to mind."

There will be times you have to fight.

Chiaki senses danger and now she sees it in the form of little black monsters with yellow glowing eyes.

Keep your light burning strong.

Chiaki gets into a battle stance with her shield. One of the creatures attack, but Chiaki blocks the attack with her shield while she uses Observation on it, her eyes glowing for a moment.

Crawling Heartless

Shadow

LV 1

HP: 9

STR: 1

INT: 0

DEF: 1

WIS: 1

DEX: 2

LUK: 0

CHA: 1

'Hmm... That 1 Charm thing must be its cuteness...' Chiaki thought. 'If one looks close enough, that is.'

You might want to fight...

"I was getting to that." Chiaki told, a bit annoyed by TX before striking one of the Shadows three times, defeating it.

You've gained 1 XP!

Before Chiaki could strike any more down, the Shadows disappear. "What the? Where'd they go?" She asked. One of the Shadows appears behind her, triggering her Danger Sense.

Behind you!

"Way ahead of you!" Chiaki told the voice before striking that Shadow down. She then defeats the other Shadows. After that, another Shadow appears before sinking into the ground, flooding the stained glass with darkness, which surrounds Chiaki. "Oh no...!"

After her gasp, she suddenly sinks into the darkness before she wakes up on another stained glass. This showed a tanned lady with wild looking brown hair. "Akane..." Chiaki let out. Just then, she sees a transparent door. She tries to open it, but her hand just passes through it. "Hmm..."

Doesn't seem like it'll open...

"No, it really doesn't." Chiaki replied to TX. Suddenly, a chest appears, catching her attention. "A chest..." She huffed before walking to it and tapping it with her shield, causing it to snap open and launch a box into the air before it lands in the center of the stained glass. "Whew... It didn't hit me..." She sighed in relief. "I wonder what it's supposed to do, though..."

Try smashing it open.

Chiaki complies and hits the box with her shield three times, destroying the box and revealing an item that she obtains.

You got a Potion!

"Oh, a healing item! That'll come in handy." Chiaki declared as the outside part of the door becomes solid. After that, a barrel appears. "I'll try smashing this one too." She said before hitting the barrel three times, knocking it away and making it fly apart, making the inner part of the door solid. "Looks like the door is complete now. I can open it."

Chiaki does so, grunting from adjusting her eyes to the light that came out of it. She goes deeper into the light. Unlike last time, however, it did not kill her via stabbing. No, the light led her to... a school. "This school... It's... Hope's Peak...!" She gasped. She looked around and saw three people, one who is pale and has a grey eye and a red eye as well as a scarf, one who has white hair and red eyes, and one who is blonde and short. "Gundham... Peko... and Fuyuhiko..." She called their respective names.

Hold on. The door won't open just yet. First, tell me about yourself.

"...Even though I SAW it open, okay..." Chiaki shrugged before talking to Gundham.

"What is most important to you?" Gundham asked. "Being number one, friendship, or your prized possessions?"

"Hmm... I'd have to say friendship." Chiaki answered.

"Is it really that important?" Gundham hummed, Chiaki puffing her cheeks before walking away and talking to Peko.

"What do you want out of life?" Peko brought up. "To see rare sights, to broaden your horizons, or to be strong?"

"I want to be strong. Not physically, but metaphorically." Chiaki specified.

"I see... You want to be strong..." Peko huffed in interest before Chiaki nods and talks to Fuyuhiko.

"What are you so afraid of? Getting old, being different, or being indecisive?" Fuyuhiko raised his question.

"Hmm... That's a difficult one, actually. I guess I'd have to go with... being indecisive." Chiaki declared.

"Is being indecisive really that scary?" Fuyuhiko tilted his head in confusion.

"Hey, you gave me three options..." Chiaki pouted.

You want friendship. You want to be strong. You're afraid of being indecisive. Your first adventure begins in the dead of night. Your road won't be easy, but a rising sun awaits your journey's end.

"Hmm... That sounds good." Chiaki nodded.

The day you will open the door is both far off and very near.

"That doesn't make any-"


"-sense... Where am I now?" Chiaki grunted in confusion before seeing that she is now on another plate of stained glass, one that's orange and shows an orange haired lady with her hands on her chest and black thorns around her body. "Ms. Yukizome!" She exclaimed before running to the center of the stained glass and stopping after seeing more black creatures surround her. "Get out of my way!" She demanded before attacking the creatures with her shield. She eventually defeats them all and takes a breath to relax.

Relax, Chiaki. This is all just a dream.

"I would like to wake up from it... But I've got a feeling that the whole "closing my eyes" trick won't work." Chiaki stated.

...And you would be totally right.

Chiaki sighs at that. "It's one of those dreams I've gotta play through to the end... Or... live through, in this case..."

After that, she sees a glowing light that reveals a glowing circle on the ground. She walks to it and any injuries she sustained disappears from her and her clothes are repaired. "Oh wow... My wounds and clothes... They're healed..." She marveled.

This is a save point. Touch these to recover HP and MP.

"Oh, it's one of those save points, huh? Cool." Chiaki smiled before seeing some square-framed stained glasses making a way to a large pillar, likely topped with stained glass. "...I'd better "save my game" here." She hummed before doing so.

Your life is saved.

"...Wait, what?"

Whenever your HP drops to zero and you get a game over, you may be able to return to a point you saved and try again. Keep in mind that there may be times your HP drops to zero and you don't get a game over.

"Hmm... Thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind." Chiaki nodded before getting up and walking up the square-framed stained glass to the next pillar. She then sees that there's another person on the stained glass, a young lady surrounded by the glass's black color with blonde hair, twin ponytails, a large bust, and a black and white tie. "...Junko..." She growled before sensing danger. She turns around and sees her shadow becoming larger.

The closer to the light you are, the greater your shadow becomes... But don't be afraid... And don't forget...

The shadow turns into a large monster with a heart-shaped hole on its body. Chiaki had her eyes widen at the sheer size of the monster. "That's larger than any first boss in any RPG I've fought up to this point...!" She gasped. "Still... I can't run away or else I might fall... So...!" She grumbled before summoning her shield.

The monster first attacks by charging up energy in its fist and slamming it to the ground, Chiaki avoiding the attack. She hits the hand repeatedly while the small black creatures she fought before are summoned. Chiaki dodges them thanks to her Danger Sense before she keeps attacking the hand. Once the monster had enough of letting its hand get attacked, it gets off the ground, Chiaki defeating the little monsters.

'That reminds me... [Observe].'

Titan Heartless

Darkside

LV: 1

HP: 20/30

STR: 10

INT: 0

VIT: 10

WIS: 0

DEX: 1

AGI: 1

LUK: 0

CHA: 0

'So it's big and strong, but it's also slow and dumb...' Chiaki thought. 'That said, I'm unable to attack it from here with its arms too far from the ground... I wonder if it's dumb enough to do that attack again...'

As if to answer her question, the Darkside gets down on its knees, places its fists to the ground, then has something glow on its heart-shaped hole. Chiaki is alerted that an attack is coming, an energy blast of darkness heading towards her. Wisely, Chiaki places the shield in front of her, not only blocking the attack but also redirecting it.

You gained 1 Tech Point!

Tech Points give you extra EXP!

"Oh, cool." Chiaki noted before more blasts came her way, Chiaki blocking them and getting more Tech Points from them. Once the Darkside was done, it does its charged up fist attack again. "Maybe I'd get more Tech Points if I land a strong hit on its face..." Chiaki thought out loud before jumping onto its fist, running up its arm, and attacking the monster's face, each strong hit giving her more Tech Points. After that, she defeats the monster and levels up.

LEVEL UP!

You gained 5 Stat Points!

HP increased by 3!

MP increased by 3!

DEF increased by 1!

WIS increased by 3!

AGI increased by 1!

LUK increased by 2!

Stat Points are what are used to increase your stats! You gain 5 each time you level up or complete a quest!

"Oh wow..." Chiaki marveled. Just then, her shield disappears as the Darkside starts falling towards her.

-But don't be afraid.

Chiaki fell to her rear as a pool of darkness started forming below her, making her sink into it. Her legs were the first to be wrapped in the darkness.

You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

Chiaki tries to get out of the pool of darkness, but her arms were wrapped in darkness.

So don't forget.

"F...Forget... what...!?" Chiaki asked in a panic as her entire body was wrapped in darkness.

You are the one... who will open the door.


"AH!" Chiaki woke up in a gasp, returning to the void that contained DLC.

"Ah. You're back." He hummed.

"I... I am? Did I...?"

QUEST COMPLETE

You have escaped your dream with your life intact.

You have obtained 1 Gacha Token 5,000 Gold and can now choose your weapon.

Before Chiaki stood a multitude of weapons. A sword, a lance, a shield, a pair of gauntlets, a... fan, of all things, a pair of daggers, a scythe, a martial arts staff, a wizard's staff, an axe, and a pair of boots.

"Huh? It didn't FEEL like I escaped with my life intact there... I... sank into darkness..." Chiaki sighed.

"And that was the end of the dream. With you sinking into darkness. Don't worry. That world is frozen in time. The next time you select it, you will wake up there." DLC told.

"In the darkness!?" Chiaki gasped worriedly.

"No. In Destiny Islands." DLC shook his head.

"O-Oh. Okay." Chiaki nodded. "...What's that?"

"A world where four boys and two girls call home. Half of each will be chosen to wield a mystical weapon once disaster strikes that world." DLC said.

"Disaster...?" Chiaki repeated. "Why would I go back if-"

"Because you're a good-natured soul, Chiaki Nanami. You'll try your damnedest to see that world and its inhabitants safe." DLC interrupted. Chiaki could say nothing.

"...I... should choose a weapon now... right?" Chiaki asked before doing so, putting her hands on the sword. She then swings it, getting a feel for it, almost as if she suddenly knows how to wield it, the sword now transforming into that of a slightly curved blade.

Obtained: Katana

Increases STR by 2 while being wielded.

"Hm. This makes me feel closer to Peko..." Chiaki pointed out.

Reputation with Peko Pekoyama: Increased by 2 (78/100)

"Huh...?" Chiaki huffed in confusion.

"Don't worry about it." DLC brushed off.

"...All right, if you say so..." Chiaki shrugged.

Now, select your magic.

The weapons disappear in place of several orbs that surround her. One red, one of dark blue, one green, one orange, one yellow, one purple, one white, one crimson, one gray, one pink, and one sky blue. Chiaki touches the white one.

Obtained: Light Magic and the following:

Light Magic Mastery

LV: 1 (Need to use a certain amount of MP to level up)

You have the power of Photokinesis. Deals more damage to dark-attributed enemies.

Kouha

Costs 4 MP

Shoot a dagger of light towards your enemy.

Makouha

Costs 10 MP

Shoot a dagger of light towards each and every one of your enemies.

Hama

Costs 8 MP

Shoot out talismans that have a low chance of instantly killing an enemy with light.

Mahama

Costs 18 MP

Shoot out talismans that each have a low chance of instantly killing every enemy with light.

"Hm. Well, I guess if there's nothing ventured, there's nothing gained." Chiaki shrugged.

Reputation with DLC: Increased by 5 (5/100)

"That's the spirit, girl. Now then... How about-"

"Wait. What does this do?" Chiaki interrupted.

"That is a Gacha Token. Basically, it summons a random item or being. Could be good, could be bad." DLC declared.

"...Well... Here goes. Let's hope my luck is at least a BIT as good as Komaeda's..." Chiaki hummed, looking at the token. "...So what do I do?"

"Crush it between your fingers."

"...That's it?" Chiaki tilted her head before doing so, quite easily, in fact. After that... a person appeared in front of her and dropped to the invisible ground.

It was a man with navy-blue spiky hair, was shirtless, and had black pants. He also had a strange mark on his chest.

"Where the hell is this? This ain't Fairy Tail..." The man hummed.

"...Oh wow." Chiaki let out. "He must be really strong."

"He is. Chiaki Nanami. I would like you to meet one of the strongest members of a guild known as Fairy Tail. His name is Gray Fullbuster." DLC introduced. "Gray Fullbuster, Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer."

"It's nice to meet you." Chiaki bowed before using [Observe].

Ice-Make Mage

Gray Fullbuster

LV: ?

'I can't read his stats... He must be 50 levels above me... or even higher...' Chiaki thought.

"Ultimate Gamer? Never heard of anything like that." Gray told, Chiaki puffing her cheeks.

"Of course you wouldn't. Technology only exists in the form of Lacrima in your world. Even then, it only shows... movies, I believe." DLC replied.

"Well, whatever it is, I hope it's nothing that can drag me down. I wouldn't want to... let someone like that get hurt." Gray pointed out.

"...Well, that's kind of you. Thank you, Gray." Chiaki thanked.

"Chiaki, right? It's nice to meet you too." Gray said. "I've been wanting to say that for a little bit after you said it."

Chiaki nods.

"Right then... Gray. Do your best to teach her your magic." DLC asked of.

"You mean Ice-Make? Can't guarantee it'll go well..." Gray hummed.

"What do you mean?" Chiaki brought up.

"Well, there's a lot that goes into Ice-Make. You'd have to be half-naked in the cold, for one thing." Gray said.

"...Uh-huh..." Chiaki hummed. "That sounds hard to do..."

"It is. And, well, I don't really want you to pick up my habits..."

"Your habits?"

"...I tend to strip in public without even knowing."

"...I see."

""I see"? What's with the lack of reaction?"

"...I guess... after dying, some things like embarrassing habits don't really faze me... Or the fact that we're talking to a dragon, for that matter."

"You died? Then-"

"I revived her." DLC intervened.

"Oh. Right. Well, anyway, Chiaki, hope we can be good friends."

With that said, Gray suddenly turns into a dark blue ball with his face on it which goes into Chiaki's body.

Obtained: Ice-Make Trainer: Gray Fullbuster

When obtaining characters, you can call them forth to aid you in battle once per battle. They can also speak to you telepathically while inside your body.

"Wow... I'm getting a lot of pretty strong stuff. My luck's REALLY on par with a bit of Komaeda's..." Chiaki marveled.

Reputation with Nagito Komaeda: Increased by 2 (50/100)

"...I wonder how he's doing..." Chiaki hummed.

"Now then, Chiaki. What do you want to do now? Do you wish to continue your journey to Destiny Islands? Or do you wish to go somewhere else?" DLC asked.

"Hmm..."
