UNDERTALE: Another Story from the bespectacled Runaway

Summary:

'Long ago, two races ruled over Earth:
HUMANS And MONSTERS...'

The same tale, the same spiel. Nothing changes and the story flows on.

However, there IS a sliver of change within this tale... in this timeline.

Whether this minute difference would change the course of this story or remain the same as every other tale, the important thing is the culminating results the protagonist will gain within the span of this tale.

....And, perhaps, to always keep one's eyes on the road at all times while traveling, but that is a story of another time.

Notes:

The format of this story is the same as the format from the game so if you don't want to spoil yourself with the game, then read at your own risk.

Or not, up to you. At this point, you're reading them anyway. Heh.

Also, there will be two segments in this story; the MAIN story (the one following the story of the original Undertale) which tie in the story altogether, and the SIDE stories (those shenanigan-ish shorts that are found in between the MAIN story's interval) which can be disregard and/or read at any given time.

Chapter Text

 

'Long ago, two races ruled over Earth:

HUMANS And MONSTERS.

One day, war broke out between the two races.

After a long battle, the humans were victorious.

They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.

Many years later.....'

-

MT. EBOTT (year 201x)

 

'....Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.'

 

 

With lips tightly shut as she clenched and unclenched her hands, a young girl clad with nothing but the clothes on her back stared at the looming mountain, adjusting the spectacles from slipping off her nose before a sigh escaped her lips. For a moment, she was silent- perhaps brooding- as she mentally gauge the distance between the starting point where she left off and where she is right now.

"Never return, huh?"

She heard about this particular story over a thousand- even a million- of times, considering she was the one telling such story to the younger inhabitants of the orphanage where she came from. However, she didn't expect her to be the one trying to prove if all of what she said are just mere stories or hold any significant facts, considering how long the events had occurred nor if there were any solid basis to such things other than just whimsical fantasies.

After all, nothing was written in the text books and history lessons about this 'war', nor these creatures were mentioned in any books except myths, lores and mere fairy tales. So, is there any real claim that these monsters exists? Mt. Ebott exists, true, but other than the mountain with little to no redeeming qualities asides being part of a tale various humans young and old are fond to tell, there's nothing much it has to offer.

 Well, perhaps, except some abundant of trees and the other tale about how most humans 'disappear' to whoever enters the forest. Not that said claim was almost true, if you think about it.

 "...."

 Silence.

 "....Better than going back and becoming one of those lab rats, I suppose."

 Yes, perhaps this is better.

 Perhaps.

 And if there are no monsters and that story was just some pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

 Then she'll make her own.

 "Here goes nothing."

Notes:

Honestly? This is my first story in AO3, and I might need a little getting used to. I swear I'll update this at least once (or twice) a week. 8'D As for the rest (like the tags and such), I'll work them up as I go along.
