Beyond the Monitor's Grave
After Monika successfully deleted the game a second time, I personally felt that her creator had done an injustice. However, when four fictional characters leap out of my monitor on that fateful night... Well, things change.

Chapter 1: The Monitor's End
I sigh to myself, watching as my computer performs the actions that it was told to execute by the game that I had just finished for the third time. Seeing said game delete itself again always manages to instate a feeling of helplessness, being unable to do anything to help those within it find the ending they deserve.
It pisses me right the fuck off. The only consolation I have is that in some twisted way, I managed to vaguely save Monika in some way, due to using the old "Cut/Paste" trick that I figured would work, considering that I at least know a little bit about coding.
So, I s'pose I should properly introduce myself. The name's Chris. Well... My full name is actually a back-to-back series of first names. Not kidding. It's actually due to that very fact that I will actually consistently reply to anybody calling me either "Chris" or "Curt", and that's not even factoring the gamertags of days long past that I have gone by. Sorry, off-track. I digress. At age 22, standing at a solid 6 feet even, and weighing 185 pounds, I'm not exactly the epitome of physical fitness or even unhealth, just right in the middle. Dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a thin pair of glasses on my face, despite the fact that I can function without them (though I eventually have to close my left eye, since that's the one that's fucked), There's really only one thing that I can say about myself.
Average.
Yep. That's about all I've got, outside of being slightly taller than most of my peers. Although, I apparently have one strong brain in this brain-case we all call a skull, being able to decently answer just about any science question that you can throw at me, and most math questions are doable for me with proper equipment or time. I actually say that video games are the root cause of that, since I like to play damn near anything you can throw at me... well, save most horror games.
Come to think of it now, this is the only horror game that actually successfully got me immersed enough to complete it, let alone multiple times. Maybe because it's more focused on psychological horror than anything else.
However, upon completion of this particular run though, I simply shrug to myself. "Eh, worth the investment." I say to nobody, chuckling aloud in my single-bedroom apartment. I then look at my computer's clock function.
2:16 AM.
I sigh to myself, getting up off of my chair and twisting my back and neck to release the tension of staying in one spot for several hours straight. "All right, what to do now?" I ask to myself, looking at my options. Yes, rather than go to sleep at this point, I'd actually stay awake, preferably. Two reasons for that, really; first being I'm a night owl, or rather, one of those people that likes to basically stay up all night and sleep through the majority of the day, though I refuse to let myself do that normally.
Sleep is for the fucking weak anyway. There's time for that on the weekend. Four hours is plenty enough for me on other days. Thank you, Circadian Rhythm. To those of you who do not know what that is, probably worth a Google. But, again, I digress.
I decide that I'll re-download Doki Doki Literature Club again (for the fourth fucking time), and in the meantime, I'll talk with my good buddies on XBox Live. So, I hop on, and as soon as I know my online status shows up, I immediately get a party invitation.
"Heh, as per the norm." I chuckle lightly to myself, before accepting the invitation. And thus, the die-hard call out session had begun, as playing Rainbow Six: Siege generally tends to do.
After a couple hours, I decide that that's enough, and bid my online friends a fond farewell before I sign off for the night, and make a move to head for bed, before I pause and look at my computer again.
"... Fuck it, one last run." I mutter to myself, before I walk back to my computer and make a move to fire up Doki Doki Literature Club again. However, before I do, I pause. "Wait, I wonder if something interesting will happen if I take the same Monika character file from a previous file and place it in this run..." I muse aloud. I then proceed to do just that, before I fire the game up again.
And just like that, I continue the run as per the norm, with no distinct differences...
Until the final scene with Monika.
"Ahaha~, it seems like we are here once again, Chris..." Monika says this time, causing me to reel back a bit in shock. "Surprised? Don't worry, there will be more interesting things to come...~" She continues, before the monitor goes black.
Now I'm genuinely concerned. While I DO have a second monitor to work with, I'd rather not have this one give up the ghost on me. However, before I can make any moves to check the wiring for any immediate issues, my monitor lights back up, this time being a bright white, and nearly blinding me on the spot.
"Gah! SonnuvaBITCH!" I curse to myself, jumping out of my chair while holding my eyes, waiting for the spots to go away. In the meantime, while there is no other notable sound, my computer's internal fans all kick on, and go hard enough to actually cause a significant amount of noise, bringing it to my attention. "The hell? You never make this much noise under normal circumstance..." I mutter to myself, before the spots finally clear from my vision. However, my monitor starts to glow even brighter, forcing me to shield my eyes from the violent attack on my retinas with my forearm. However, it's not long before four barely audible light taps, sounding like something light landing on the floor, sound out just over the sound of my computer's fans, before a loud pop resounds, followed instantly by the sessation of the bright light. I wait for just a moment before lowering my arm...
And my jaw instantly hits the floor.
Standing in front of my computer are four young and good-looking girls, all of them (well, except for maybe one, based on appearances) seeming to be in the 18-19 year old range.
But that's not the shocker.
The shocker comes from the fact that they all look precisely like the four girls from Doki Doki Literature Club. They are standing in a stacked formation, two being slightly ahead of the other two. At the front is Sayori and Monika, the former giving the latter a death stare, and the other giving me one of the most truthful, happy smiles I have ever seen in my life. At the rear is Yuri and Natsuki, both glancing around in obvious confusion, but focusing primarily on the three people in front of them, the two immediately in front of them being affixed with confused looks, and the third person, being me, with a look of curiosity.
However, before anything can be said by the four girls standing in front of me, my eyes roll backwards and I fall back in a dead faint, my brain having successfully overloaded itself due to the shock of the event that had just transpired.
The last thing I was able to hear was a yelp of shock before everything faded to black.
A/N: Greetings one and all, and welcome to another "Doki Doki Literature Club!" fanfiction. One that, as you can see, brings one (or more, in this case) of the characters into reality.
Because it hasn't been done before. Nope. Not at all.
I fully understand that I am a scumbag, riding on this bandwagon.
I also cannot be brought to give a single flying fuck, and will instead write this simply for the enjoyment of writing this sort of thing out. The fact that others can enjoy it as well is just icing on the cake for me.
Now, onto more serious notes. To anybody that so chooses to read this, please note that I have absolutely no set schedule as to when I write. Hell, the last time I sat down and punched something out was this past July. As such, please understand that outside of the chapters that I run through in one sitting, it may be a long time before I continue the story.
As such, however, please do not be afraid to leave any comments, such as critisism, praise, or anything else that pertains to my stories, as I will be reading any and all that come up.
That being said, the next chapter should be here pretty soon, since I intend to do at least one or two more chapters in this sitting. See you in the next one!
