I hope anyone who's here has read Doubletale by XWolf, because if you haven't, a large amount of this is gonna be nonsensical.
It's all darkness. There isn't anything here. The last thing I remember is sitting at my computer, opening a game.
Now it feels like I'm falling. "Wait, shi-"
Turns out I was actually falling. And that I finished falling too. These yellow flowers turned out to be nice cushions for my rear end.
I look down to see my leg bent at an awkward angle, when pain shoots through my spine. I yelp in pain.
I pant furiously and slowly begin to calm down. "Okay, I've fallen down a hole and landed on yellow flowers… Wait. Yellow flowers. If this is what I think it is, then my mind is gonna explode."
I look up to see pillars rising from the ground, reaching so high I can barely see the tops of them. To the front of me is a large doorway, framed in stone.
"Oh, wonderful. I get to try and live through the events of Undertale. Maybe I even got Doubletale or Underswap." An amusing idea entered my head. "Or both."
"I guess I can find out by seeing Toriel, or especially Sans." And then I waited. And waited. Aaaaand… Waited. Then I thought about what my stats would be like.

"Heh, even my stats mock the situation. Welp, looks like Toriel isn't coming any time soon. Guess a crawl is better than starvation." I slowly try to maneuver myself into a position that allows me to crawl, and I soon end up on my stomach. Slowly, I start to shuffle my way across the room at the bottom of the pit.
The doorway looms above me, although I would assume it would seem shorter if I was standing. I can see the circle of light in front of me, but no flower to be seen. I continue to crawl beyond that, to the room with the staircases on either side.
"I wonder if I can save here. And if I'll heal when I do as well." I crawl towards the stairs to see a glowing yellow star, twinkling right in front of me. Well, and above me I suppose. I touch it and words appear above it.
"Health Restored. Error saving file. What does that even mean?" I try to move my legs, and find my spine completely fine. I stand and move my way up the stairs. "Who figures most of the puzzles are completed already?"
At no response, I shrug.
"Wait. Why is nothing making noise, shouldn't a small population of monsters… Oh. Oh shit." I look around and see the pile of dust in the first room. I continue on, and look at the spikes.
"Those things look scary in real life. Like, I can understand setting up traps, but really? Isn't this excessive?" I tentatively step on the rightmost spikes, and they recede into the ground. I continue in this pattern until I reach the edge of the puzzle.
"Please make sure I never have to do that again. Just please." I take a minute to get myself together, then I shoot off through the unnecessarily long room, ignoring the pillar altogether, and divebomb into the pile of leaves a savepoint is supposed to be in.
"Error saving file. Again? At least I've got an energy boost from that. Off I go!" I proceed in this fashion, running until I'm in pain, and gaining energy from the savepoints. I reach the save at Toriel's house panting from exhaustion, and I touch the star.
"Error saving file. The last three saves said that, and nothing happened with any of them. I wonder what the issue is. Whatever." I straighten up and enter the entryway, and immediately make my way downstairs. I slowly jog to the end of the hallway, and see another guy get stabbed by a child, the smell of dust permeating the air.
"What? How can three humans be down here at the same time?" The stabbed and bleeding figure looks at me, and back at the child. "I mean, well… It's unnatural that there's two, but this is kinda excessive."
"Would you shut up already? Now I have to kill two of you!"
"Alright, you need to chill. I don't appreciate it when I see someone get stabbed. Especially not when I know all of this happens, and I don't agree with this path. So…" I swiftly grab the knife from Chara and stab it through Cter's face. I look up at them. "See you on the flip side."
Everything suddenly went black, and when it all came back, I was standing right where I was when Cter died. I look down the hall to see Toriel running towards me. I dash to the door, undo the lock, and swing the door open. A blast of cold air hits me as I slam the door closed.
"My child! You can't leave! Come back!" I can hear sobs through the thick material.
"Toriel. You need to stop the child in your care. They killed the entirety of the Ruins. They will kill you if you show mercy. Don't lower your defense. Goodbye even though I never met you."
After that, I slowly walked away from the door. I made my way to the bridge with the too-wide barriers on it. I only realized that the stick never snapped until I heard the footsteps behind me. I try to move to cross the bridge, but I'm held in place by some force, probably blue magic. "Do you have to hold me in place just to talk to me?"
The hold releases, and I turn around to face him. He holds out his hand.
"Don'tcha know how to greet a new pal?" I tentatively raise my hand to meet his.
Once my hand makes contact, a huge farting noise comes out of nowhere. This actually surprised me so much that I flinched and fell on the ground. Once I realized what happened, I started laughing.
"huh. never realized that you'd flinch like that. i guess i chilled you down to the bone." He shifted his other arm towards me to offer me a hand. I took it and hefted myself to my feet. "well, you ain't the kiddo i was expecting. guess today's not a bad day."
"Well, there's two other kids, not sure who they are." A complete lie. I know exactly who both of them are. "Although, one of them looks a little murdery."
I look up to see dark sockets. I step backwards on to the bridge. "kid, lying isn't gonna get nobody nowhere. spill the beans."
"I have no clue if I should trust you or not, so I'll give some details, but not all." I take a small breath, to see his eyes return to normal. "The murdery kid is Chara, the other guy is Cter, I stabbed Cter in the face to advance, and he's fine now, I'd assume anyway. You know about the jumps in time, so that's relatively okay."
He gives me a confused look, then looks to the left. Exactly where the player would be seeing this from. "welp, i s'pose you're trustable enough. let's go and do some puzzles. actually, i'll just watch and you'll do the puzzles."
