Despair Danganronpa Novels & Stories

"You'll work as Ethan's assistant, and you'll do it with a smile on your face." Raven felt a chill run down her spine as she met her father's gaze. She knew that she was trapped, trapped in this toxic household with no escape. As she left her father's office, she was drowning in a sea of despair. She didn't know how she was going to get out of this situation, but she knew she had to try. Tears of frustration and anger pricked at the corners of Raven's eyes as she walked back to the janitor's closet. She felt like she was losing herself like she was disappearing into the depths of her father's expectations.

Slowly I begin to relax again, but it is short lived because the next thing I read makes me petrified. ‘If the pair of Ma Vista’s meet and 1 dies in the finally battle the other one will continue to live forever by themselves.’ My heart stops as I read the paragraph and I start to cry. If we both don’t survive the world is screwed and if only one of us survives they will forever drown in their own sadness.

Hands start to rip my clothes off, as their voices start to turn distant…their words trying to capture my attention. Asking me what they need to do. But I’m locked on Balgaire, his eyes darting to the side of him where they remain. I follow his gaze, finding her standing next to a tree, a look of pure satisfaction upon her face. A smirk sent my way before she turns and walks away. “Calian…Calian….stay with me..” Dessa’s cries are the last I hear as the poison takes me. My last thoughts go to my son… My son…my son is unsafe.

My fingernails that used to flip musical scores were all broken. I clenched my teeth and used all my might to strangle the old man. However, I got slapped in return. He stepped on my abdomen and beat me with all he had. He cursed me for being disobedient and invited all the other single men in the village to his place. I was terrified and cursed them all to burn in hell. Days passed as my attempts to kill myself failed continuously. I was slowly going insane. Finally, my bodyguard appeared. He always looked so serious.

They fell into a daze, dropping their weapons and falling into a deep, terrible depression. Some of the soldiers began to sob, some of them wailing their lungs off. Some of them even picked up their guns, shooting themselves in the head. Wilbur wove through the crowd, all the people around him turning impossibly hopeless and ending their lives in various ways. The agony they felt was so unbearable that death seemed to be their only release. Such was the power of the Emperor's domain: Dirge of Despair. Within mere seconds, the Scorpion Army had lost half their men. The remaining soldiers fell into a hopeless frenzy as well, flailing around like they had lost their minds.

It was time for me to go. When the System found me and asked me if I had second thoughts, I immediately said no. Whatever that was never mine in the first place wasn't mine, no matter what had happened. Once again, my door was opened from the other side. Remy looked like a culprit who returned to the scene of the crime to enjoy her handiwork. When she looked at the cream on me, she waved in disdain. "Why haven't you cleaned yourself up yet, Fiona? That low-grade cream fits you perfectly! You're just as abhorrent."

I fell in love with a girl, I can never have and the best part is I can’t do anything about it. I lit my last cigarette and inhaled it so deeply that my mind went numb and at the end I couldn’t control myself and ended up going back to her house. I want to see her for one time only. Her room was at first floor. I climbed through chimney but at the end up hurting myself more, I found my brother there. They were sleeping soundly hugging each other. I fell down as my hands became numb. I heard the window door opening so I quickly and hid near the wall. Josh woke up and he looked down the window and then went

Remember when the light gives birth to a…. I frowned trying to read the word. But I couldn’t read it. Shaking my head, I continued. ‘The darkness will reign through the veins of the Deimos prince, Find the key within the darkness to break the curse, Before the seventh blood moon end the curse, or yield to the darkness, If all fails, under the blood moon, you shall take your final breath, Will the Deimos line end or will it survive? The answer lies within.’ Urgh, that was so complicated.

I cooed, leading him to a dimly lit room where shadows danced like phantoms. “Here lies the beauty of despair,” I whispered, my voice dripping with seduction. “Feel the pain, and you will understand true pleasure.” He stepped inside, his breath catching in his throat as he took in the remnants of my past victims—lost souls who had once been just like him. Their despair filled the room, a palpable energy that crackled in the air. “Look closely,” I urged, watching as realization dawned on his face. “They all craved me, just as you do. They thought they could control their desires, but in the end, they were mine.”

"What if we really are just lost? What if this really doesn't matter? What if I doubt my despair and underneath the doubt there's just... more despair? Deeper despair? Despair that survives questioning because it's actually accurate?" "Then," Harmony said, "you'll know that. Through genuine examination. Through honest questioning. Through real doubt. Not through assumption. Not through certainty. Not through giving in to the feeling without examining it. You doubt your despair the same way you doubt everything else. Thoroughly. Honestly. Humbly. And then you see what remains. What survives the doubting. What persists through questioning. Maybe it's despair. Maybe it's something else. Maybe i
