Hey guys!
Off topic, but I fucking LOVE Danganronpa. V3 is my definite favorite, but almost everything about the series is so unique that I can look past it's many many flaws (COUGH COUGH Junko, 3-3, and Tenko COUGH COUGH) Just because of how much damn star power it has.
Also, I may sound like I'm lying once you've read, but I swear, these rolls are not fudged at all.
Enjoy the show!

You look absolutely beautiful tonight.
I didn't even realize the words slipped out of my mouth until I said them, but they were my true feelings about her. To tell the truth, the woman always looked pretty beautiful, even while stabbing me, but I could never appreciate it until now.
Her face was distinctly asian with her crimson hair tied into a neat bun on the top of her head. The dress that she wore was strapless, a pink color scheme with red highlights near the bits where her arms poked out.
Oh yeah, she was also thick as hell which was greatly appreciated.
For someone who just tried to stab and kill me not even a week ago, she actually seems pretty nervous, a black blush on her pale white cheeks. I also noticed that she wore lipstick, a dark red shade upon her lips that made them look even more plump than they already were.
I got up from the crystal bath, walking towards her while using micro hydrokinesis to quickly dry myself off before reaching in the back pocket of my suit. I pull out a crystal I had made, a blood-red hair clipping in the shape of a moth.
I walked over to her, really taking in her form. I thought her one eye would make me uncomfortable, but not only did it not really freak me out at all, but I was more concerned about her being 4'5. Although I was a healthy 5'7, I never really understood how people got shorter than like 5 feet.
It didn't matter though as I rubbed a hand through her hair, patting her head while showing off the crystal. "A gift, from me to you." I say before putting the clipping in her red locks. "You know, I don't think I'm sure if we formally introduce ourselves. My name is James."
Before I could do anything else, the black ticket showed up right behind her head and right in front of my eyes.
1x Silver ticket: Making a woman wet just by talking and doing nice gestures.
What the hell? Why are you doing that, I didn't even rip you.
Trust me, you'll need it…
Heaventaker
-Rare Trait-
"You wake up, dreaming of a harem of... angel girls? That doesn't sound right-" Holy aligned/Angelic beings find themselves more attracted to you and it is easier to earn their affection.
What? Okay, you know what? Nevermind, I don't care about the trait right now. I focus back on her as she looks back up at me with a surprisingly cute smile showing off all of her teeth. "I'm Niffty, James, nice to meet ya."
I was gonna try to say something else, but it looks like Niffty was already in motion, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me forward, making us both fall over. I tried to catch her or something, but I already lost feeling in my hands.
My byakugan allowed me to see that in only an instant both of our lower bodies had turned into bugs and in the next instant, both of us were bugs as well.
DATE X NIGHT
WHATHEFUCK–
Huh?
For only a minute I felt like my mind was in…Something. I wasn't in reality, but not in dream, like I was in between mind and matter. Was I in the Velvet room or something?
Well it doesn't even matter now. Standing up, and brushing off my suit, I saw the streets of Hell, still red, but for some reason they seemed abandoned. On any other normal day, somebody would be committing a crime in broad daylight or trying to kill someone, but there's literally nobody out here.
Soon enough, Niffty formed herself out of bugs right beside me and hooked my arm with her. "Our reservation's just up here." She said, pointing ahead before we walked together.
"So, why did you want to become an Overlord?" She asked, trying to start a conversation.
"To be honest, I don't even know what an Overlord really is, I kinda just stumbled into it."
She looked at me for a second, genuinely confused. "Are you…Serious?" I nodded my head. "You really just became an Overlord by accident, huh? Well, ain't that rich?" She giggled, putting one of her manicured hands with black painted nails over her mouth.
"Well, aren't you an Overlord? Can't you tell me how this whole thing works?" I ask her.
"Well, an Overlord is made up of two things: their legend and the souls they own." She holds up two fingers. "Your legend is just how people think of you, your impression on the general populace of Hell. If it's strong enough, then you completed the first step into becoming an Overlord."
She puts a finger down. "The other thing is the souls they have. This can play into the first one, since once a legend is strong enough, an Overlord can passively own very very small pieces of the souls of everyone who knows them."
She summons bugs to her hand, making them into a ball. "I went that route. All my bugs that I have are itty bitty pieces of everyone's souls that know of me. But, admittedly, directly owning souls is a much faster way to get powerful, the V's can attest to that. Any soul is a good power boost, but owning a soul that's Overlord level can boost someone to barely below Overlord status, though that hasn't happened yet."

[Monster Mater]
|Uncommon Trait|
"I really shouldn't have sex with that, buuut-" The more monstrous a member of the opposite sex is, the more they are attracted to you. Only works on things you yourself would be attracted to.
Ticket, are we deadass? Give me weapons or something, I wanna break that curse and get something actually useful.
Hey man, I don't make the rules.
YOU'RE LITERALLY THE CLOSEST THING TO GOD I KNOW RIGHT NOW. YOU ABSOLUTELY DO!
"I mean, I have been feeling stronger. Is that a side-effect of becoming an Overlord?" Wait, how did she even know I was an Overlord anyhow?
"Mm-hmm, all Overlords are suuper strong, along with a special ability. Your ability is tied to your legend, so basically what people know you for. Maybe you can give other people that knight armor or something." She shrugged, as I started to think.
Hey, ticket, is it possible to gain an ability without using you?
Indeed it is, I actually prefer you use more stuff outside of me so I can give you more tickets.
Hey, that's something I've been meaning to ask you. What even are you? And why do you care about me so much?
… I–
"We're here!" Niffty said, interrupting the black ticket. The restaurant seemed fancy, it being a fancy building, one with colors very different than the usual reds of Hell. To be honest, it kinda looked like a mental hospital with how sterile it is and it doesn't even have a logo or a title.
We walked into the building, coming across the receptionist. He seemed to be a green goat-person who was currently sweating bullets. I never knew they had Izuku Midoriya in Hell. "H-h-hello sir and ma'am, d-d-did you m-make a reservation with us, or are you e-eating in?"
"I made a reservation at table 4A." Niffty said, cracking her neck a little bit.
The goat-guy jumped at even the slightest movement. "I-I-I see, the bug Overlord Niffty with a table for t-t-two. F-follow me, please." He said, getting up and shakily leading us to the table.
Despite how the outside looked, the whole inside decor looked very colorful. Instead of red, it was a beautiful ensemble of deep royal blues and sapphires. There were many tables in the room, but including us and the receptionist, there were only 5 other people.
In one table, a woman with red skin and hair lifted up a forceful of spaghetti. Her yellow, swirling eyes were staring lovingly at the man across from her who seemed like a normal blonde guy except for the fact that he's got a chainsaw revving on the top of his head.
…He also has a dog collar on, but he seems happy so I guess he's living his best life.
At the other table were another pair of figures. A dark green buxom woman with blonde hair and a schoolgirl uniform tried her best at stabbing the man beside her. Unfortunately for her, the milky white man with brown hair, green eyes and a green hoodie seemed to simply dodge all of them while asleep.
And…And…
Okay, I can't ignore him anymore.
WHO THE FUCK IS THAT NIGGA IN THE CORNER!?
He's genuinely just leaning on the wall in that bright red suit while sipping a cup of tea and reading a book. You are NOT a vibe, bro, what're you doing? You came into a whole fancy restaurant to order a cup of tea and try and aura-farm and random people, get a job, dude. Where's yo family at, you look like you're pushing Lebron James levels of age.
1x Bronze Ticket: Meet Alastor and somehow piss him off within 20 seconds
THAT'S ALASTOR? Why is he so… Like that? And how did I piss him off, I'm literally just walking to my table.
He thinks you have a staring problem and wants to challenge him.
Well screw him, he can mess around and find out if he wants to. Go ahead and roll.
[Firebreath]
|Uncommon Ability|
Allows you to unleash a breath attack of flame like a Dragon, the gout of flame breath you unleash is very powerful and potent, and the power increases the more you charge and the more energy you expend.
You need only 1 more ability to unlock another ability slot.
Ability slot? I thought I could only slot in one forever, guess I'm lucky. I wonder what I'd slot in after that, though. I could use my shadow armor along with crystal caesar to do some cool stuff, but I could also try out blood-bending on a criminal.
However, fire-breathing is just as cool. I can just see it now, me dropping down in an alleyway, using my fire-breath to slow myself down before walking out of the flames. That just sounds cool as all hell off of concept alone.
Coming out of my childish thoughts, soon the receptionist came to our table, putting down two menus and speed-walking away from us as fast as he could.
"Hey, Niffty, what is this place anyway?" I idly ask as I open up and look down at my menu and–
HOLY SHIT!
54,000 souls for an appetizer!?
"It's Koko ni kōkyū resutoran o sōnyū. It's a traditional Japanese restaurant that I bought after I became an Overlord to honor my mother and heritage." She said, looking through the menu while rubbing her chin in thought.
"Oh, what happened to your mother?" I asked, getting over the initial shock of the prices.
"She…Traveled to America after the bombing of Nagasaki. It was long and arduous, but she always told me that I was her hope that kept her going." Although her voice was steady, I could see her knuckles tightening slightly. "But… But, she died when I turned 21."
I was silent for a little bit before I reached across the table and laid a hand over Niffty's. "I may not know your mother, but I do know that she sounds like an incredible woman. I'm sure she's in Heaven where she belongs and is doing great up there."
She said nothing for a little bit. My byakugan could see her lips mumbling something, but I couldn't hear anything of what she said before she started to…Smile? It was a wicked, sick smile behind the menu as she looked at me through it. "That's sweet, James… But do you know why I'm in Hell?"
"...No."
"Because I killed my–"
"Ah, Hello Niffty, dear!" A voice asked, sounding like it was talking through an old-timey radio. I looked over and saw Alstor sitting down next to us in a chair with a great big old smile on his face.
…Great.

THE END
A fun fact that long time readers know: I initially had Alicia be the one to die of cancer and after her funeral, I had James go to her grave, dig it up and eat her brain… I honestly thought it was a good idea at the time, but after becoming better at writing, I just think it's pretty damn edgy, and not even good since I didn't implement it well.
One more thing, the Heaventaker perk looks pretty different because when I wrote this the chaos gacha site was down so I had to go to its predecessor and use that.
