《You Saw Right Through Me》Meetings
Advertisement
"Hey Mind Reader!" I hear behind me. I turn around and see Kokichi running at me, Kaede and Shuichi close behind. It didn't look like he was planning on stopping, so I moved to the side and as Kokichi's about to bump into the door, I grabbed the back of his scarf and pulled him backwards. "Bashing into the door won't unlock it." I said to the small teenager. "Yours was locked, too?" Kaede asked. I nodded.
An "Ummm" echoed from down the hall.
"Oh, someone else seems to be at the end of the hall." I remarked. We walked down the hall and saw a blue haired girl with glasses, her finger on her cheek. "Hello! Are you an Ultimate student too?" Kaede asked. The girl seemed to pay no mind. "Did she not hear me?" Kaede inhaled, as if she were about to yell, so to save my ears I put my hand on her shoulder. "I don't think that's the case."
Kaede poked the girl. "I think she's a mannequin. She's so squishy though! Try it Shuichi!" She took Shuichi's hand to make him poke the girl, but she suddenly spoke. "Hm, I never thought that I would be poked from both sides." I stepped back a bit, in surprise. "Ah, she wasn't a mannequin. I knew it!" I looked at Kaede. "Then why were you poking her?" "She wasn't responding!" The girl sighed. "I'm sorry. I was just deep in thought. So I thought if I ignored you, you would go somewhere else." Well that isn't very polite.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" She asked. "Oh, my favourite episode of Doraemon is episode #53! The one with the security cameras and target practice." Ah, so she liked anime. I've watched that one, but I haven't quite finished it. "Before you talk about that, can you tell us your name?" Kaede asked. "Oh, I'm Tsumugi Shirogane. I'm the Ultimate Cosplayer!"
"Nice to meet you! I'm Y/N L/N, the Ultimate Psychologist. This is Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective, and Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist." I said. I looked to my left and saw Kokichi already walking away. I didn't really feel like stopping him so I continued speaking with Tsumugi. Her and Kaede were having a conversation about positivity or something. "O-oh, there's other people in the building, too!" I reminded. "Oh! Then you can go look for them! I'll look for exits!" Tsumugi said. We walked around the academy until we saw this boy with green hair and a striped shirt.
"Oh, hey! You guys got kidnapped, too?" He said. "Well, you look alright, so that's good." He looked at me. "Although..." He put his hand on my cheek and rubbed off dirt with his thumb. "Did you fall or something?" I shook my head. "I might have been from when I touched my face." I looked at Kaede and she looked as if she were about to screech. "Anyways, do you guys remember how you got here?" The boy asked. All three of us shook our heads. "If you're asking us then you don't remember either, do you?" Kaede assumed. He nodded.
"I guess everyone here has amnesia then, since the others don't remember either." Shuichi's face twisted into a worried one. "B-But how could we all have amnesia? That's not normal!" The boy smiled. "Well then I guess we're all in an abnormal situation then." Kaede tried brightening the conversation. "I'm sure we're just confused and we'll remember eventually!" "Or it could be group hypnosis. Maybe brainwashing."

I lifted my hand to my chin. "Maybe..." Kaede looked at me. "Y/N! You don't really think we've been brainwashed, do you?" I looked up. "Well, it's definitely not amnesia." I pointed to my head. "Amnesia is caused by damage to parts of the brain that are vital for memory processing. Unless we all happened to get involved in a serious accident and all happen to be an ultimate, brainwashing isn't out of the picture."
The boy seemed to lose that creepy aura. "In any case, I hope we remember soon! Otherwise, I'll end up the outcast." Kaede turned to him. "Outcast? What do you mean?" Rantaro put his hands on his hips and sighed. "To be honest, how I got here isn't the only thing I don't remember. I also forgot my own talent." I tilted my head. "You have no idea... at all?" I looked at his clothes, which didn't seem to be hinting anything.
"Well, you had to be some kind of Ultimate. I don't think you would be here if you weren't." He looked at the three of us. "By the way, my name is Rantaro Amami. I promise I'm not a bad guy." I smiled a bit. From his body movements, he doesn't seem to be lying. Of course, I'd have to figure out what his habit is when he lies before I determine this. "I'm Y/N L/N, the Ultimate Psychologist. This is Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist, and Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective."
"Alright, well it was nice talking to you!" I remarked as we left. "He gives off a weird tune." Kaede whispered. "I'm not quite sure why, but I trust him." I said. Kaede smirked. "That's 'cause you like him~" I looked at her. "Oh shut up, Kaede." We went to the dining hall and saw two girls; one was dressed like a witch and the other a blue outfit and a green ribbon in her hair.
"Hi there!" I said while waving. The two girls looked up at me. "Oh, hi..." The witch girl said. I looked her up and down. She can't be the Ultimate Witch. I don't think that's a talent. So... "Are you the Ultimate Magician?" Her eyes widened. "How did you know?" I pointed to her outfit. "O-oh... yeah that gives it away a bit. I'm Himiko Yumeno, the Ultimate Mage."
Kaede tilted her head. "Magic doesn't exist, does it?" Himiko and I looked at Kaede. "Of course it exists!" We say simultaneously. "You've just never seen it. Only I... a mage, has seen it first hand. Sure, I was the youngest person to ever win the Magician of the Year award, but they're disguising my magic by calling them 'tricks'." I smiled.
"Anyways, what's your name?" I asked the girl with a green ribbon. Suddenly, she almost hit Shuichi with her arm. Thankfully, I pulled him aside before she did so. "Y-you have scary reflexes." Shuichi said. "What are you doing, exactly?" I asked the girl. "I'm trying to conjure up more spirit energy!" She answered. "Don't you know yelling helps you with that?"
Shuichi straightened up. "Don't athletes do that?" He asked. "I've heard it helps you focus." The girl sliced in the air again. "I must be prepared for combat at all times, just in case someone tries to attack me. I will protect myself with Neo-Aikido!" I smiled. "Oh! Then you're the Ultimate Aikido Master, right?" She put down her arms. "H-how did you know? Are you psychic?" I giggled. "No, I'm the Ultimate Psychologist. I'm Y/N L/N."

She smirked. "I saw you guess Himiko's talent. You must be a smart one! I'm Tenko Chabashira, nice to meet you!" Kaede giggled. "I always imagined Aikido masters to be big and burly, but you're so cute! Right Shuichi?" Shuichi looked up. "O-Oh... yeah." Tenko's face scrunched up. "E-eh? What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't like being praised by degenerate males." Ah, she's a man-hater. "Are you uncomfortable around them?" Kaede asked. "It's more than being uncomfortable! If any degenerate tries to touch me, my reflex is to grab them and throw them across the room." Shuichi stepped back a bit. "So... uh... what's this Neo-Aikido?" Tenko straightened up. "It's something me and my master made up ourselves!"
I smiled. "Well isn't that interesting! Anyways, we're going to meet the other Ultimates. We'll probably meet soon!" I waved and walked away with Shuichi and Kaede. "You seem to make friends quite easily." Shuichi said. I shrugged. "I just know how to talk to people I guess."
"It seems like we were the only ones who woke up in a classroom." Shuichi declared. "Everyone else doesn't seem to be close to a classroom." We walked across the hall and into the warehouse. When we opened the door, we saw a lot of supplies. But most importantly, we saw a girl in a pink dress, and goggles in her scruffy blonde hair. She was looking through the chemicals stored on the shelves. She was muttering to herself.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" Kaede asked. The girl tensed up. "Don't sneak up on me, sh¡thead!" I covered my ears. I don't really like it when people yell out swear words. Shuichi put his hand on my shoulder. "H-hey, I'm sorry if we surprised you but you shouldn't-" "Hey, crotch rot, you starin' at my boobs?" Shuichi's eyebrows shot up. "W-what?" The girl laughed. "Help yourself! A guy like you can only dream of having a big-boobed hottie like me! Go on, get yourself a good eyeful!"
"Shuichi!" I scolded. "N-no! I wasn't staring, my eyes just happened to look there!" The girl mocked him. "I can identify pervs on sight, and you are definitely a freaking perv!" I looked at Shuichi and examined his facial expressions and body behaviour. His eyes were no longer on the girl's breasts, so it doesn't seem to be a mandatory thing to him. He averted his eyes, hinting at the fact that he's shy, so he won't own up to the "perv" title.
"I don't think-" "Leave me alone! I can wear a hat if I want to!" Shuichi unexpectedly yelled. The girl moved back. "What the heck are you getting mad at me for? Tell the world you're sorry! If you startle me into losing my motivation, that loss will be felt across the entire world!" I looked up at the goggles in her hair and remembered she was looking for something in the warehouse. Goggles, warehouses, and the world. "Are you the Ultimate Inventor?"
The girl's eyes widened. "H-how did you know? Do you know me?!" She asked with a proud smile on her face. "No, I just put the dots together." Her face fell. "W-well, yeah. I'm the legendary Ultimate Inventor: Miu Iruma!"
"So... what exactly do you invent?" Kaede asked. "Oh, well I invented things that let you type while you sleep, read while you sleep, even eat while you sleep. I was inspired by the fact that people waste so much time by sleeping!" I tried imagining what the inventions would look like. "So... for eating while you sleep, how does it do it? Do you plug it in and it puts nutrients in your body as you're sleeping like the ones in the hospital? Or does it get physical food and put it in your mouth as you sleep?"
Miu smiled and started explaining how the machine works, each word full of pride for the invention and also took the time to explain the other two. "Although, this one time I invented these really stupid eyedrop contact lenses as a gag." Kaede gasped. "You invented those? Some of my friends use those!" Then Miu started explaining how useless they were and how they don't make you productive while you sleep. "It was a failure. Just like you two!" I tilted my head. "Two? But there's three of us." She looked at me. "Yeah, but you're pretty cool."
"Anyways, what were you looking for earlier?" Kaede asked. "Are you dumb? In a situation like this, I've gotta find some meds!" I examined her. According to how loudly she can speak and how exaggerated her movements are, she doesn't seem to be sick. "You're not going to try and get high, are you?" She looked at me in utter disbelief. "How do you know these things? Are you the Ultimate Mind Reader?" I chuckled. "No, I'm the Ultimate Psychologist, Y/N L/N. Nice to meet you! This is Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist and Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective."
Both of them waved. "What? You can't get high! You definitely can't do that!" Kaede scolded. "W-what the heck? My genius can't be constrained by the wisdom of the masses! Besides, this place probably doesn't even have the things I need to get loosey-goosey! S-so are we cool now? Are you done being mad at me?" Alright, she doesn't like being yelled at, or someone being mad at her. Noted.
I looked at Shuichi. He was quiet ever since Miu mentioned his hat. It must be a sensitive subject. Also noted. We walked around again. "Classroom A?" Kaede read. "Oh, that's where me and Kokichi woke up." You said. Kaede looked inside. "Was the robot always there?" I shook my head. We walked in and saw that Kokichi was in here as well. "So this is where you-" "Please stop! Don't come any closer!" The robot said. As Kokichi was about to ram into the robot, I grabbed the back of his shirt and looked at him.
"I let you leave to explore on your own and I find out you're harassing a robot?" I asked him. "That wasn't a robophobic remark, was it?" The robot asked. "Oh no, it wasn't." I dropped Kokichi. "Robots are really cool and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!" He smiled a bit. "So what's your name?" Kaede asked. "My name is K1-B0, but please, address me as Keebo. I am the Ultimate Robot!" Miu would like him.
I nodded and looked down at Kokichi. "Now, what were you doing to this poor boy?" I asked as I crossed my arms. Kokichi pouted. "I wasn't doing anything! Just don't go too close to his face while he's talking. His breath smells like gasoline." Keebo gasped. "That's such a robophobic remark! Besides, I run on electricity!" I rolled my eyes. "Kokichi, just because you're the Ultimate Supreme Leader, that doesn't mean you don't take people's-and robot's- requests into consideration."
Shuichi and Kaede looked at the small, purple haired boy. "Supreme Leader? That's a talent?" Shuichi asked. I nodded. "From what I can tell, he's not lying. Although, lying seems like it's something he's used to doing." Kaede looked down. "So, this small boy is the Ultimate Supreme Leader?" She asked me. "Just because I'm short, it doesn't mean you have to ask them everything about me!" Kokichi yelled as if he were way farther down.
He got up and looked at both Kaede and Shuichi. "I'll make a proper introduction." He put his hands behind his head. "I'm Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!" I sighed. "Kokichi, you could have told them that before if you didn't just jump on Shuichi's back." Shuichi brought his hand up to his chin. "That was you? Strangely, I remember you being much taller. And you didn't follow us?" Kokichi shook his head. "You guys got boring, so I decided to explore on my own and I found him!"
Kokichi looked Keebo up and down and put his finger on his cheek. "Do robots have d!
"Hey Kokichi." Kaede began. "What exactly makes you the Ultimate Supreme Leader?" Kokichi smiled. "Oh, I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization, that's all." Kaede turned to Kokichi in surprise. "Huh?" "I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members!"
I watched Kokichi's body language. From what I remember, when Kokichi lied about his elbow, he looked at me from the side of his eye, not from the front. He was doing the same with Kaede. "Alright, Kokichi. How many people are actually in your secret organization?" Kokichi looked at me with a shocked expression. "I-I told you! 10.. thousand." The moment he said thousand, he looked at me from the side of his eye. So there's ten people. "Alright, Kokichi."
"Who knows? I'm a liar!" Kaede gasped. "You were lying the whole time?" I shook my head. "Not this whole time, but I don't think he wants me to expose his secrets quite yet." Kokichi pouted. However, Shuichi was curious. "What's the organization called?" Kokichi giggled. "It's a secret. Y'know, cuz it's a secret organization." He was staring straight at Shuichi. I guess he really just doesn't want us to know.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)

The Kind Devil
Five veteran players of the old-fashioned but outdated VRMMO game, Orge's Bone, meet in the game for one last time before leaving forever.

However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace.

Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.

Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.
