《Panta》Chapter One- The Liar
Advertisement
A/N: Ok for this I might include little snips of the 77th and the 78th class, so obviously request ships for those quick cameos and also for this the v3 cast would be the 79th class of Hope's Peak Academy and 1st years at the time 78th aka Naegi's class is in the second year and the 77th class also known as the class with Komaeda since Hinata is a reserve course student...at least until I gave him the talent Ultimate Future woohoo! Hinata has a talent!
I can't believe it...I am actually late! I was running for dear life towards my first period class. It wasn't exactly my fault being in this predicament...yesterday Akamatsu dragged me to a party where some of our upperclassmen had and invited me to join the "Ahoge Club" with two other upperclassmen. Whatever that meant. I am also pretty sure Yonaga has slipped something into the punch bowl which is the reason why I refused every single drink I was offered, which is why it was my job to drag most of my classmates home. Great. I also made the mistake of forgetting to do some of the case work my uncle had assigned me and he had banned me from sleeping until I completed it after all I needed to earn my talent.
So I ended up going to sleep...an hour ago...how was I supposed to know school had started ten minutes ago when I was passed out from exhaustion? At least how was I supposed to know till my uncle had shaken awake shoved a piece of toast in my hand and shoved me out the door with my school supplies. And here we are now. Me running for my life because Ms Yukizome was really cracking the whip after apparently experiencing both the 77th and the 78th class. I guess you can only fill out so much paperwork for property damage before it drives someone crazy.
I opened the door quietly as I carefully stepped inside the classroom Akamatsu immediately waved me over "your late Saihara, was it because of Yonaga's extra 'ingredient'?" I groaned "that was actually the thing that took the shortest time, I for once procrastinated like you guys said I should due to prove I am actually a teenager. I hated it" Akamatsu laughed "well you should tell Momota that I doubt they will believe it though to be honest" I sighed "do you think Ms Yukizome noticed I was late?" she shook her head "no she is busy dealing with Shinguji's séance in the hallway and Yonaga demanding for her to be the new student council leader, I think she's losing though since I won class rep..." I sighed at the memory when the results came out and Yonaga just sighed saying this was what Atua had decreed. That was the answer to life. Atua.

"Settle down guys, we can express ourselves through property damage after school hours" Ms Yukizome proclaimed, she seemed happier than usual "we got a new student today! They had to miss school for a few months due to an....incident, you can come in now" she called as a short kid with purple hair with a matching eye color grinned. His clothing reminded me of a straightjacket and he wore a checkered bandana around his neck. He was unnaturally pale and a lot thinner than most people I had seen, his eyes also had bags under it as if he had just survived he** but his grin said something different. He also...was short.
"I'm Kokichi Ouma, the ultimate supreme leader" Iruma looked at him "how many members does it f*ckin have?" (Ah Iruma...time to break out the swear words more than ever) Ouma's grin seemed to fade for just a brief second that thanks to my talent I noticed but I bet everyone else didn't "I have over a ten thousand members you sl*t" and Iruma immediately grew nervous at the insult as I turned to Ms Yukizome who looked at Ouma concerned "take your seat it's next between Saihara and Kibo, can you to stand up please?" I did and Ouma just nodded sitting in between us.
Lunch then started and everyone seemed to crowd around Ouma "yo nice to meet you Ouma my name is Kaito Momota I am the ultimate astronaut I was wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out with my sidekicks Maki Harukawa the ultimate assassin and Shuichi Saihara the ultimate detective" Ouma laughed "why would I want to hang out with an idiot like you?" and Momota just stared at them "what the he** was that for?" Ouma just smiled. One by one everyone just left them alone, even Akamatsu though she seemed to keep an eye on him and even I just glanced at him every once in a while.
Relatively after that the day just seemed to fly by as it always does till for some reason Ms Yukizome called me to stay after class, "Saihara can you stay for a bit?" I nodded confused as the rest of the class left. Ms Yukizome then shut the door and sighed "did I do something wrong Ms?" I asked after all this was probably about her catching me being late earlier...right? She nodded, "I'm sorry to call you out on this but I need you to help me with something.." I raised an eyebrow "ok...what do you need help with?" she then sat down "I suggest you only tell this to your immediate friend group, I have been given directions not to mention it at all but I can tell not having someone else know will not end well" what is she even talking about?

"You see...Kokichi Ouma has been hospitalized after an accident...and that is the reason they haven't been at school till today" I felt my eyes widen "but he's ok now...I don't understand did anyone else get hurt or-" Ms Yukizome just nodded, "sit down this is a lot to digest..." I did and she just looked down on her desk.
"You see Ouma was the leader of a group of pranksters at their old school with only ten members not including him...small crimes that are rarely acknowledged...this group was called D.I.C.E, you see....a while ago Ouma had taken them all for a drive I hear...some students who had been pranked by the group had messed with the van they drive around...I imagine they thought that the members would notice before driving around anywhere but they didn't...the van ended up getting into a severe accident...five members died at the scene...another two plus Ouma were hospitalized...Ouma I hear was in a coma for a few weeks...the other two hospitalized members died...and the three members that survived were harassed for the incident...and I hear they ended up ending their lives...so Ouma who has only recently woken up has just lost all of his friends...they think he's fine the doctors say he's fine but I can tell he isn't...I just was hoping...maybe....you could try to be his friend? I heard from others who warned me that he has been a strong liar since the incident and no one can tell what he's really thinking and there is only so much I can do as a teacher...but please...can you try to be his friend...?" I nodded "I-I'll try...but why me? Why not Akamatsu or Momota...?" she sighed "cause I think they wouldn't be able to notice the little details like you do...and I hope this will also help you make more friends and be more open...I guess we will see though huh?" she gave me a small smile as I quickly left the room needing to comprehend what I just heard.

Without any memories of who he was, with only a little companion by his side, the lost soul begins his long, arduous journey to recover his memories, while unraveling the mysteries of a war-torn world. Why was he sent here? And where will he go now? Even he himself does not know. But one thing is for certain: the world will never be the same again.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the South, embers of war begin to rekindle. Will it be the death knell of yet another nation millennia old? Book 4: The Unravelling World Synopsis: Time is not on Gaius' side. Everyday life, already disturbed by the flames of mortal war, falls apart entirely as beings of legend once again appear on Orb. Forced to a foreign land to treat his injuries, the boy must confront the outcomes of his actions, directly and indirectly. But the tide is rising. Countless enemies are throwing themselves against the nations of Orb, cleaving a path of blood wherever they go. Gaius has to hurry...or drown with the rest. Book 5: World's End, Divines' Rondo Synopsis: The great gods of Orb have staked their claim on the world itself, killing all in their way. Each of the Cardinal Continents are fighting their own battles and making their own peace, but none are aware of the growing threat from the Wildlands, where a self-exiled legend continues to gather strength. Meanwhile, a new threat stalks the whole of Orb, killing whatever remains of the Constellation Heroes. Against such a chaotic backdrop, a boy continues to protect a semblance of daily life for his loved ones, but will he be successful when the curtains finally open? Book 6: The Frenzied Tide Synopsis: A sword hangs above the Eastern Territories. The Human God, progenitor of all life, the direct cause of the beastfolk genocide, has made his will known to the rulers of the East — make peace with the God of Water, or be destroyed in three months. Gaius, who has left the battlefield to return home, is once again called to fight, to support a do-or-die offensive upon their foe's territory. But in the background, the threads of destiny are beginning to come together. Plots set in motion long ago are coming to fruition... Book 7: Limina of Ruin Synopsis: The chalice has broken. The East is beset with turmoil, as factions turn on each other. The Great Divide, however, brims with a setting radiance, ensuring a final, transient peace. And in the midst of it all, one young boy follows the fettered winds and the unshackled waters, heading to a new land to uphold a promise. For him, the days of fighting will be a distant memory before long...and a daily event in the years to come. Uncovering ancient memories, putting to rest regrets, enjoying the last of a peaceful life...the people of the Five Lands will live to their fullest. Yet, this is but the calm before the storm. Book 8: Power Talks Synopsis: Fate. A curious word to most...and a frightening word to Gaius. Alongside the rulers of the North, Gaius witnesses frightening truths, proof of an inevitable future. Spurred by a myriad chilling revelations and urged by a god's killer, the Mortal Light Dynasty gathers both mortal rulers and divine sovereigns, covering past conflicts with a offer of cooperation of an unprecedented scale. However, can this unity, first of its kind, stand up to time, fate and mortal nature? Or will it burn, along with the Five Lands? Book 9: Homeland Song Synopsis: Gazing out at the Orb of old, Gaius ponders his destiny and the great stakes with it. Time and again, he has led a life of choices, making one after another for the sake of those he cares about. His latest choice, however, carries implications of an immeasurable scale. Charged with the protection of the future, all that awaits him is an eternal solitude... On the other side of the false world, a single star shines, one whose light is meant to protect. Gemini, who has long found a homeland in the form of Ark City, has spent years defending it with friends and family alike. However, an inexorable end is approaching. The day the Great Divide falls looms ever closer. At the crossroads of destiny, when the chains of fate bind him fully, what will the last Constellation choose? And what will his choice mean for the rest of the Five Lands? Book 10: Immortal Indignant Synopsis: As the Five Lands reel from an unexpected revelation, Gaius continues his struggle to accept his immortal destiny of eternal vigilance. Mortal fetters continue to tie him down, with the prospect of breaking them a heart-rending prospect. There is little light for him in the darkness; his emotions seemingly a poisoned apple. For him, the days ahead are one of balancing his emotions; his immortal destiny is antithetical to the aspects that make one mortal. However, he isn't the only immortal indignant at the current state of affairs. Behind the scenes, huge powers push and pull, tussling in an insane game of wrestling sanity. The Five Lands and the great gods prepare in the background, awaiting their time to strike... Book 11: Cause Convergent Synopsis: As Orb reels from an unexpected turn of events, the crumbling of the Great Divide speeds up. With time now at a premium, Gaius travels the world, addressing a particular personage's last will, while ensuring that he leaves no regrets behind. Revisiting the Five Lands with his beloved one last time, he casts his eyes to a new future, a world full of a peace forged by collective resistance. Far away from Gaius, at the very borders of the Southern Continent, soldiers train day and night, awaiting the day the rift between worlds crumble. But the battlefield there isn't just between the Five Lands and the Wildlands... Book 12: Boundary Belligerent Synopsis: The rift between worlds crumble. The moon, the sun and the sky shatter, revealing the vast expanse beyond. The cold light of the stars gaze down upon Orb, illuminating a bloody battlefield at World's End, where gods and mortals wrestle. Immortal troops charge the Five Lands, over and over again, only to be repelled by vast engines of war. For many, the moment of destiny has arrived. The Third Extermination has begun. However, Gaius gazes not at the present, but at the future beyond. What does he see there? And what will he do? Book 13: Destiny Divergent Synopsis: Bells ring, and destiny veers. Mortal miracles, having pierced a divine destiny, now turn their light of annihilation upon the legendary land of dangers and dark myth. A single being who should have slept forever reawakens, carrying out a inherited duty to protect. Under a dome of absolute law, the hulks that darken the skies are grounded, forcing the Five Lands to move ahead on foot. Hidden differences erupt, comrades turn upon comrades, and the alliance begins to crumble. What should have been a happy ending begins to fall apart. Watching from high above, the Abyss Sovereign laments his weakness, cursing the new destiny laid upon the world. And yet, he will never give up. Book 14: Abyss Ascendent Synopsis: As a future of never-ending conflict draws closer, Gaius stands at the centre of Orb, his will tempered and set. What the Wildlands has ceased to be, he will inherit. Divine Kingdoms and mortal nations clamour for peace to prepare for greater wars, but Gaius will no longer stand for that. For the sake of his dream, the Five Lands — and now, the Wildlands — must be unified against a common enemy. Gaius himself. Raising the flag of rebellion against mortal nature and destiny, the Abyss Sovereign commences a festival of creation for his new world, a paradise unimaginable to both mortal and divine minds. With his intentions made known now, there is no going back. He will succeed. Or die trying. Book 15: Terminus Transcendent Synopsis: ???
