Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 36, DRAE: UDG Final
Late evening of the next day.
In the lounge of the hotel Team Japan were currently occupying were five people. Shin was terribly wounded the day before and was being treated by Sachi. Komaru was by his side worried about his condition, yet looked nervous for another reason. Drake there as well with a tense look on his face sat in a chair nearby with the M41A Pulse Rifle+M held in his arms. Sachi as well while treating was remaining vigilant and was ready for battle at a moments notice. Shin looked back and forth between his group and couldn't help but sigh. It couldn't be help that they were cautious of the firth person present who was formerly a enemy.
Shin: "So hey. How does it feel being free of the that prick Izuru Kamukura and the Guide?"
Hajime: "...Just how am I supposed to answer that question? I'm having a identity crisis here, you know. Hajime Hinata... Izuru Kamukura... memories of a life that I've yet to live. Above all else I'm a creation of something calling itself God, called the Guide, and the knowledge that I have that I'm a NPC. The me from the DR2 had it much easier. I'm jealous."
Shin: "Yeah... I have no words to comfort for the guy who left me half dead. Shit, you barely have a scratch on you! Even your shattered arm and mental damage healed overnight while I was unconscious!"
Komaru: "Can't you be more sensitive about his situation, Shin. Realizing that your a NPC isn't a small matter. Also, your the one who caused your injuries by being so reckless."
Shin: "Yeah... Sorry about that."
Shin said so as he apologized once again for returning to her side gravely injured after the battle with the Guide, Izuru Kamukura.
Shin: (Yeah, I'm never blowing my self up again if I can help it. Still, Hajime Hinata, compared to my troubles this guy has a whole other level of issues to deal with.)
Shin thought so as he looked at the man sitting on a couch not too far away from him. Hajime Hinata. He was no longer Izuru Kamukura, but his original self, or more accurately the awakened Hajime from the end of DR2. After getting stabbed in the heart with Holy Sword Switch, not only was his Guide persona erased, his brainwashing and modifications done by Hope's Peak Academy which turned him into Izuru Kamukura were reversed. To what extent Holy Sword had a effect on him Shin didn't know, but at the very least he was not a enemy. Hajime hadn't attacked Shin who didn't have the ability to fight any longer, and went as far as to bring him back to the hotel his team was staying at. He also all too quickly discarded his dark getup and cut his hair which had turned white to reveal his original features as Hajime and with the exception of his red target pattern red and white hair he looked just like himself.
Shin: "It really was a gamble that Holy Sword had an effect of the Guide and I bet even he didn't expect that he was so bound by his setting as Izuru Kamukura. Still, I never expected that doing so would result in such a rewarding Hidden Side Quest. Even Hypothetical TV never showed me such a possibility."
Drake: "So what is he then. You've defeated the Guide and even got a Hidden Side Quest, but what of the mission? You have yet to fuse with the guide to elevate your stage in the Genetic Constraint and the mission is not over yet either. Are you sure that you've really defeated this guy?"
Hajime: "...There's nothing to worry about. Despite returning to my old self, I'm still the Guide and I retain the memories from my time as both Izuru Kamukura and the Guide. I can confirm Shin's victory and I can begin fusion at any time. I haven't done so yet just because of my identify crisis."
Sachi: "Hey, that's sad and all, but we have things to do, so hurry it up. None of us want to stay in this god forsaken world anymore... Ah, sorry Komaru. I forgot you were born in this shitty world."
Komaru: "Hahaha. Don't worry about it. I was kidnapped, imprisoned for years, was only let out as killer bear robots rampage through this city, and even learned that the world outside was recovering from a event given a exaggerated name like "The tragedy", The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. I can't honestly blame any of you for wanting out. Even I want out."
Shin: "And on that topic... Hey, Hajime, you haven't forgotten our promise after, right?"
Shin was in no condition to do so, but he gave Hajime a look saying he was ready for a fight if he didn't get the answer that he wanted. Right before he and Hajime were about to begin the decisive battle when the man was still Izuru Kamukura, he had asked a favor from the Guide. His favor was for him to have the NPC Komaru Naegi return with Shin to the Terminal Lobby. Shin had promised Komaru to bring her with him when he leaves the world of Dangan Ronpa and he planned to keep it. He knew of one method to do so, but it would mean him coming back and forth to this world, and so he just asked the Guide Izuru Kamukura to just let Komaru come back with him when his team leaves.
Izuru Kamukura asked why doesn't he just create his own Komaru Naegi back in God's Dimension, yet the answer he got back was one that he didn't like or understood. Shin said that he cared for the Komaru Naegi here in this world who he struggled alongside of and someone who just looks the same with fake memories wouldn't be the same. Also, knowing that the real thing is still out there, the idea of making a copy of her was very wrong and would never do such a thing. Izuru Kamukura had a fed up and disappointed look in his eyes as Shin made this request, but in the end he agreed to it.
Izuru Kamukura: "...What a foolish human you turned out to be. Sure, your request can be granted. Long as you defeat me God can let such a small rule violation pass for you."
Shin recalled Izuru Kamukura exact words. Hajime wasn't necessarily the same person anymore, but he was still the Guide, so he expected him to honor it. Hajime could feel Shin's intensity as he glared at him, but not minding it he calmly answered.
Hajime: "Yeah, don't worry about that. I'm still the Guide till the fusion, so I can honor the deal. Also, Komaru is a normal human/NPC for the most part, so it isn't like she'll increase you're fighting potential. Shin, you still have your right to a free Human Creation, correct. Long as you agree to give that up and pay an additional 500 Points, God will allow Komaru Naegi to leave with you once the mission comes to a end. She won't be a Player like you all of course, but will just be regarded as a human creation in rank as far as God is concerned."
Hearing this both Shin and Komaru let out sighs of relief. They were both uncertain if they could leave together, or that one of them would have to come back for the other, but like this they could leave the world of Dangan Ronpa together.
Komaru: "That's great, but can you afford these 500 Points Shin? If its too for you, then I'll..."
Shin: "It's no such thing, Komaru. For the current me 500 Points is nothing and for you I wouldn't hesitate to spend 5,000 or 50,000 Points. You're the video game heroine of my dreams after all!"
Komaru: "Shin... You could have said that better, but I'll take it."
Shin: "Was it that bad? You are one of the heroines I have always dreamed of dating, getting to know, and do all sorts of things with!"
Komaru: "All sorts of things!? Can't we at least have our first date before we... talk about those things. Also, not in public!"
Sachi: "Aaahhhh! I can't listen to these two flirt in front of me like I don't even exist! Drake, we're going! I need to let out some of my frustrations, so be my test subject for an acupuncture technique I just thought up. It won't hurt... too badly, so be a man and help me."
Drake: "Ah, no, I'm sorta on guard duty here and-"
In the middle of turning Sachi down Drake found a throwing needle had pierced into his neck and passed out. The culprit responsible Sachi, picked up his large body with little difficulty and began to walk out of the hotel lounge with a frightening smile across her face. Komaru was worried for Drake and followed after them leaving Shin behind with Hajime.
Hajime: "...Hey, just how did you survive to make it all the way to me with such a team?"
Shin: "Ah... Who knows. Plot armor? The fate of a protagonist, perhaps? Let's just go with that since I'm starting to get doubtful seeing them like this. Anyway, there was something that I wanted to ask you before the whole fusion thing."
Hajime: "What is it?"
Shin: "I wanted to know what will you do now? At this point in time in the original time line of Dangan Ronpa, you were still Izuru Kamukura and about to begin the preparations for DR2. You destroyed the Alter Ego Junko AI in the heads of Shirokuma and Kurokuma as well, so the School Trip of Mutual Killing won't occur. What will you do now?"
Hajime: "...I really want to say "leave me alone alone", or "I'm still going through this identity crisis and it hasn't even been a full day since I'm back to being me"... but I've given it some thought. For starters I wish to help Towa City get back on its feet. This was Komaru's job originally, but with her leaving someone has to do it. It shouldn't be too difficult anyways. Unlike in the original game Future Foundation couldn't come to help Towa City because the battle between the adults and kids was continuing, but things are a lot calmer here. Once you're team leaves this world I'll head to Towa Hills and free Byakuya Togami and Toko Fukawa of Future Foundation and ask for their help."
Shin: "Will they listen to you? If they know that you were once one of the Remnants of Despair-"
Hajime: "It'll all work out. I have my memories from DR2 thanks to being the Guide, so I know that they are the type of people able to look past crimes for the sake of the world and Hope. Long as I'm honest about what I do they should support me."
Shin: "I see. You can even ask help from Komaru's brother Makoto Naegi and his friends from Hope's Peak Academy."
Hajime: "That's the plan. Next, once Towa City starts to recover I plan to look for my friends who are still Remnants of Despair and try to help them."
Shin: "That's... In this time line they never met you for the most part."
Hajime: "I know. In this world we were never classmates at Hope's Peak Academy or on Jabberwock Island in the virtual world of the Neo World Program. Still, I remember our time together. All the good, bad, victories, defeats, partings, and most importantly... our pledge to look towards the Future even if its not just filled with Hope but Despair as well. These memories are far too real for me to ignore, and so I can't abandon my friends. In this world we aren't yet friends, but I want to become one with everyone from that island."
Shin: "Will you use the Neo World Program?"
Neo World Program.
Also known as Psychotherapeutic Communication Simulator, is a program created by the Future Foundation, featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.
The Neo World Program is a program created by the Future Foundation that is programmed to place the user in a virtual world by synchronizing directly with the user's brain. It's built with the most recent psychotherapy technology and administrative software by the Ultimate Programmer, the Ultimate Neurologist and the Ultimate Therapist, among other talented people. By mounting a device to the cranium, the program allows its subjects to experience 'synthetic virtual world'. It can replace memories formed in the real world with information contained in the virtual world.
Therefore, it's possible to undo trauma sustained in the real world through the use of the virtual world, which is why the program is also known as Hope Restoration Program. The device is for psychotherapeutic purposes only and any other use is expressly forbidden, as abusing the device risks total personality destruction.
The user in the game world is called Avatar, an existence created in the game as a copy of the user's real body. The real body of the user remains in a sleep-like state, as if they're dreaming. The avatars are constructed from specific memories of the user, thus the avatar's physical appearance and other traits depend on the memories and can be very different from what the person is currently like in the real world. For example, the avatars of the Remnants of Despair were constructed by removing their school memories, so they look and act exactly as they did before they entered Hope's Peak Academy.
Since they had two or three years of school memories erased, their avatars look notably younger than their real bodies. This is especially evident in Hiyoko Saionji's avatar, as she was reverted back into her younger, child-like appearance. As hamsters have very short life-spans, it's very likely that Gundham Tanaka's Four Dark Devas of Destruction are already dead in the real world, and the program just created forms of them based on Gundham's memories
Since the Neo World Program is a next-gen software containing the ultimate reality, it tricks the user's brain into thinking that it's all real as their consciousness is uploaded into the virtual world. Thus, the program's virtual version of Jabberwock Island looks real because the students' brains think it’s real. According to Monokuma, if you are hypnotized to believe you've been burned, a burn mark will really appear if the users' brains believe something is real, it's no different than it's actually happened. Furthermore, Sonia Nevermind explained the same method she had once heard:
“In a distant country, there was a certain experiment carried out on one of their prisoners. The prisoner was blindfolded, strapped to a bed, and had small wounds applied to his toes to drain his blood. That prisoner was left alone in the experiment room, as the sound of dripping blood echoed throughout the room. But in fact, his blood was not being drained. He was just forced to listen to the sound of dripping water, but he believed he was bleeding to death. However, in spite of that, the prisoner still died.”
Originally, in the world created by the Neo World Program, a concept like violence never existed and the students were supposed to graduate after gathering the Hope Fragments. However, the virus that invaded the program forced them to kill each other. If a player's avatar experiences "death" while believing it's real, their brain inside their actual bodies will stop functioning too. Their real body will remain in a comatose state with very little chances of waking up. If an avatar that needs to be uploaded has been deleted, there's nothing that the Future Foundation can do. Nagito Komaeda and Mikan Tsumiki are a special case, as they knew they were in a program while "dying", meaning that they may have higher chances of waking up.
The students must choose “graduate”. If they choose to graduate, and the Observer determines that there are no problems, they will complete the Hope Restoration Program. Their avatars will be uploaded into their real bodies, forcibly erasing their past selves. If the students choose “Graduate”, it'll transfer their in-game memories, but their school memories will be gone forever and the people who have already died will not be able to wake up. However, if they do not choose Graduate, they'll just have to continue living their tropical life.
With this program Hajime can delete the personalities of the current class of Hope's Peak Academy's 77th Class who are Remnants of Despair, and replace them with ones never influenced by Junko Enoshima, but Hajime said he wouldn't do that.
Hajime: "More accurately yes and no. I'll use Future Foundation's Neo World Program, but not like how they intended. I'll join them in the virtual world Jabberwock Island. Without my original interference the program should go as intended just like in the side game, and then we will Graduate instead of using Forced Shutdown to stop Alter Ego Junko. Oh, I already destroyed the Al of her of Shirokuma and Kurokuma when I was still Guide so she wouldn't interfere during our final battle. Now back on topic, from there, Graduation, I'll make my move. Instead of replacing the original personalities with the new ones from the virtual world, I'll modify the program so that instead the two personalities will fuse together, so just like how in the end of DR2 when I returned to Hajime Hinata while retaining my memories of my time as Izuru Kamukura, and so will the others."
Shin: "And you can do that?"
Hajime: "Yeah. Your magic did indeed remove the parts of me that were Izuru Kamukura, meaning the major surgeries that restricted my memories and thoughts, so I'm no longer the Ultimate Hope level talent in every field like I was before, but I still have the knowledge. I'm back to being talentless, but talent is just grasping something quickly and efficiently using it. A normal man can become a top surgeon in his filed if he studies, practices, and seeks out new techniques for a hundred years without rest. A Hope Level Surgeon wouldn't be able to surpass such a experienced surgeon too quickly unless he leaned directly from the man, and that could still take years. I'm like that experienced surgeon. With my knowledge from my time as Izuru Kamukura, I have the knowledge to rewrite the software of even a sci-fi like programs like the Neo World Program."
Shin: "Why would you go so far? Why not get rid of the memories of their time as Remnants of Despair?"
Hajime: "...I don't believe it's right to erase the memories of what we have done. It's as simple as that. To both repay for what we've done to the world and to truly grasp the weigh of what we've done we need those memories. Makoto Naegi wanted to bear the responsibility of our actions after getting rid of our memories of Despair, but forcing us to bear the sins of another lifetime isn't right if we have no memories of it. Peko Pekoyama, Byakuya Togami (The fake Ultimate Imposter), Akane Owari, Teruteru Hanamura, Nagito Komaeda, Sonia Nevermind, Fuyuhiko Kuzury, Kazuichi Soda, Chiaki Nanami, Mahiru Koizumi, Hiyoko Saionji, Mikan Tsumiki, Ibuki Mioda, Nekomaru Nidai, and Gundham Tanaka. Makoto Naegi's Hope and our Future aren't the same thing after all."

Shin: "Do you think it will all work out in the end?"
I had my doubts, but Hajime simply smiled back at me. On his face was no longer confusion about his identity, but a look of resolve to see to it that a better future awaits him. No, for all of his important friends.
Hajime: "Long as a person is alive and they keep trying nothing is impossible... It's our future, right?"
Shin: "That's... amazing. We could use a guy like you on my team. Talent or no talent. I think you would be a great addition to Team Japan."
Hajime: "...About that... are you being serious with your offer?"
Shin: "Huh?"
Shin was taken back by Hajime's question. Sure, he had thrown it out there, but he wasn't too serious about it and didn't expect Hajime to ask. Hajime was waiting for Shin's response with the upmost serious look, and to respond in kind Shin seriously thought about it for a moment before giving his answer.
Shin: "...If you seriously want to join the team I'm okay with it and I doubt anyone else will reject you joining. There's a way for you to join Team Japan as well. When I was considering methods for Komaru to come back to the Terminal Lobby with me I rcalled a certain item from the Exchanges. A watch that allows a NPC to be recruited and join ones team with the status of a Human Creation and cost a D rank reward and 5000 Points. I also remembered there being a superior version of the watch as well that cost 5000 Points and a C rank reward. Long as there is a open spot on a twenty man team of God's Dimension the NPC can be recruited onto the Team with the higher status of a Player. Unlike the D rank reward watch, the C rank reward one let's the NPC acquire acquire their own points instead of sharing them with the one who exchanged for the D rank reward watch. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is. The watch give you the status of a Player, so if a Mission rewards all players 5000 Points and a B rank reward, the former NPC now turned player will gain those reward as well. With the case of the D rank reward watch the NPC wouldn't get such a reward because they would only have the status of a Human Creation, a tool of a Player no different than a sword or gun. The C tier watch does take up the space of one of the 20 Players, but that's hardly a problem when that comes to you, Hajime. You would make a excellent addition to Team Japan and if you're willing I'll welcome you!"
Hajime: "...I see. Shin, I honestly want to join Team Japan, but there is..."
Hajime had quite the conflicted look on his face that was hard to ignore an Shin noticed it.
Shin: "Is there something stopping you?"
Hajime: "...Maybe. I do actually want to join Team Japan for both my own motives and to repay the debt I owe you for returning me back to Hajime Hinata. My own reasons for joining would be to save the world of Dangan Ronpa. I think you are aware of future plots of Dangan Ronpa and the concept of Bonus Missions. There will be more tragedies to come for this world and I need the power to stop them. That's where God's Dimension comes in."
Shin: "I see. It's for the world, is it. How noble."
Hajime: "Not really. I'm not such a noble human being. I also have a more personal reason. Chiaki Nanami... is no longer alive in this world. Still, she will exist as a computer A.I in the Neo World Program and I want to give her life. The best life possible. My ultimate goal will be to create an artificial body no different than a real human body that can also download her consciousness into it. This way she will have a second life together with her friends."
Shin: "I see. Then what's stopping you?"
Hajime: "Time. Before I can join Team Japan I have to help Towa City. From there I have to make the many, many preparations for entering the Neo World Program to save my friends. I may even have to help Makoto and Future Foundation both find and capture them, and bring them to Jabberwok Island. All of this will take time and I can't afford to leave this world just yet. Shin, I'll like you to come back and invite me to Team Japan three mission from now."
Shin: "Three Missions?"
Hajime: "Yes. Time passes by in a Mission World each time a mission assigned to you by God passes. Each world also has there own rate of time passing. FOR example, in the world of H.O.T.D only 6-8 months will have passed since the night you separated from the main cast once you finish this mission. The time in the Mission World of Dangan Ronpa passes by eight months with each mission you complete."
Shin: "Three missions from now will be 24 months, or two years for you and that's the time you need to help Towa City and you're friends. Sure, I'll come back for you."
Hajime: "Thank you. I'll give it my all once I join the team, but I will ask you one thing. Please do not die. This world will come to a end when you and your team members who have been to this world die. It'll be more than bad for me if you die."
Shin: "That an easy request. Not only do I not have plans to die, I also have this. It'll be hard for me and this world to disappear from this world."
Shin then opened up his shirt and showed Hajime a tattoo recently burned onto his flesh by God. It was a picture of a rising phoenix on fire tattooed on the left side of his chest near the heart. It was the Revival Token Shin was rewarded for defeating Izuru Kamukura by undoing his brainwashing. If Shin were to ever die he will be revived. Hajime recalled Shin received such a reward and began to laugh.
Hajime: "You're right. It will be hard for you to die. Then we'll meet again three mission from now. With that settled let's get this Guide business over and done with. This lounge isn't open enough. Let's go to the roof of the hotel to complete your fusion.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Late that night.
Along with Hajime Team Japan and Komaru headed up towards the roof of the hotel. Hajime stood in front of Shin, Komaru, Drake and Sachi lined up together. It was finally time for the mission to come to a close and Team Japan to leave the world.
Hajime: "Team Japan. Thanks to you I'm free from my persona as Izuru Kamukura. Words alone can't express my thanks to you all and my repayment will take a while. Now, it is time to complete the fusion and for my role as Guide to come to a end. Shin and Komaru, please step forward."
Shin and Komaru did as they they were told and stepped up to Hajime. Hajime in turn stepped forward and stopped as he stood directly between them and then he placed his hands on their shoulders. A white light illuminated Hajime's body and soon passed through to Shin and Komaru. Moments later they felt that a connection of some sorts had been formed and then Hajime stepped back.
Hajime: "With this Komaru is officially yours, Shin. I've deducted the 500 Points and your free Human Creation purchase. Komaru is now your created being and if you die she will share the same fate. Till death do you part if you will."
Shin: "Oh, so we consider this a wedding ceremony then? The whole supernatural connection thing is pretty great and better than any wedding that I would want to have."
Komaru: "Not me! I want at least one normal date first before talk about marriage. We've only kissed just the one time too!"
Shin: "...We can do more than kiss later if you want... but is this really okay? You're now mine. You don't belong to this world anymore. There's also a chance that you won't be able to see your brother again. Are you really okay with me?"
Komaru: "I told you that I'm with it. I also left a video message with Hajime earlier to give to my brother, I'm sure he'll understand. I've fallen for you after all and you ruined me. How can I fall for another man when a you appeared before me like a hero out of a Manga and saved me from danger time and time again? Take responsibility for your actions is what I said and I mean it. Also, I've found that you're a hopeless man, Shin. You may have a harem, but if I'm not around I'm certain that you'll become no good at some point."
Shin: "...I can't tell if you love me or pity me, Komaru, but I'll take it. I still like you a lot anyways and I doubt I can do without you,"
Sachi: "...Hey. I told you two to stop flirting in front of me! I'll turn the two of you into porcupines if you keep going!"
Drake: "Shin, Komaru, you should listen to her. Her acupuncture techniques... are not something to joke about."
Drake began to sweat heavily remembering his most recent trauma and tired to warn Shin and Komaru. Hajime watching this laughed awkwardly and then told Komaru to step back.
Hajime: "Now all that is left is to finish the fusion. Shin, the parts of me that make up the Guide will flow into your body as particles of light similar to enhancement processes from God. Once the fusion is complete your Genetic Constraint Stage will increase by one, you'll gain the position of Team Leader, and the mission will come to a close. Are you ready?"
Shin: "I have nothing left to do here. We also can't stay here forever to train, right?"
Hajime: "Yeah. God would do something crazy if you stay longer than necessary to train."
Shin: "Alright then. Towa City should be in good hands with you around, so let's begin."
Hajime: "Okay then. I'll begin fusion."
The moment those words left Hajime's mouth Shin was pulled into the half awake state. Though looking from him from the side would see him floated above the ground. Light particles emerged from Hajime's body and flowed into his, just like how it was when exchanging an enhancement like he had explained. There Shin heard God's voice.
- UNLOCKING LEADER POSITION FOR TEAM JAPAN.
◆ TEAM MEMBER RECOMMENDATION UNLOCKING (EXCLUSION OF FOUR PILLAR SPIES).
◆ FREE DISTRIBUTION UNLOCKED (LEADER CAN USE POINTS AND RANK REWARDS ON OTHERS WITHOUT LIMITATIONS).
◆ MISSION PREVIEW (WILL BE INFORMED OF THE SETTING OF THE NEXT MISSION).

◆ GENETIC CONSTRAINT CHECK... SECOND STAGE CONFIRMED! EVOLVING BY ONE STAGE. CURRENT STAGE OF THE GENETIC CONSTRAINT WILL RISE TO THE THIRD STAGE. FUSION BEGINS!
God's voice was stern as usual. There was not a bit of emotion, but Shin being in the half awake state couldn't hear its voice halfway through because of the half awake feeling. Shin didn't know anything happening around him. The others, including Komaru were gone. They had already exited the world while Shin was forced to float in place while the particles entered his body. Particles continued to flow out of Hajime and into Shin till his job as The Guide was complete and was now just Hajime Hinata.
- FUSION COMPLETE. OBTAINED LEADER POSITION AND VARIOUS BENEFITS. UNLOCKED THE THIRD STAGE OF THE GENETIC CONSTRAINT. MISSION COMPLETED FOR TEAM JAPAN!
- TEAM JAPAN HAS COMPLETED THE LAST COMBAT EPISODE OF THE DANGAN RONPA SERIES AND COMPLETED AT ITS HIGHEST DIFFICULTY. ALL MEMBERS RECEIVE 5000 POINTS AND B RANK REWARD. THE DANGAN RONPA SERIES WILL NO LONGER APPEAR FOR TEAM JAPAN IN FUTURE MISSIONS.
Hajime: "Farewell, Shin. Let's meet again once we've both done what we needed to."
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Hajime's words weren't transmitted to Shin, but the feeling certainly got passed along and just as he vanished from that world he smiled as a reply. The next time Shin opened his yes after leaving the half awake state he was standing on the platform of the Terminal Lobby of God's Dimension. Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor, Jin, and Kisara were all unconscious on the floor, but they didn't appear to be injured. Not even those heavily wounded or exhausted from their battles. To Shin side and standing in awe of the Terminal Lobby were his newest comrades Drake and Sachi, along with the newest member of his harem, the heroine of "Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls", Komaru Naegi.
Shin: "...I'm back again. No one died and we gained far more than ever before. Including a video game heroine... I have to wonder if I'm actually the Ultimate Protagonist after all!"
Shin couldn't help but laugh at his own plot armor.

Proofread by Azarza and Deltoren.
Released this since I was bored. I'll release another this time tomorrow, another twelve hours later, then 1 chapter per day for the last two chapters. Team Score is also out in next chapter. I won't do a character chapter till the end, along with a exchange post.
As previously stated in the Exchange System post, I've decided a Player can't make an S rank reward with lesser rewards like 3A's or more. This is probably going to be the only broken as can be mission in this series, but don't worry. I'm going to give him more cool and impractical enhancements where you scream at how he wasted his points, but deep down you are still jealous of him.
