Chapter 1

…..

GAH!

Well, that's new.

I'm pretttyyy sure I should NOT be experiencing this much pain. Seriously, everything aches. Ugh. The light's so bright. Note to self- close the freaking blinds. I guess I could… Never mind. I'm in no hurry to move to be honest. If I just stay still, maybe I'll fall back asleep…

Strange smell, though. Nothing like my room. Air freshener? Or maybe…

Okay, fine. I'll get up. I need a hot shower, why am I so sore and mygod.

Flowers. I'm in a field of flowers. But… What? Is this a cave? WHY AM I A FREAKING CAVE? There's light shining down from some sorta hole, and I can see some Greek-looking pillars, but other than that, it's just black.

Damn.

So let's review, James! You've woken up in a strange place, and you have no idea how you got here! Great way to spend…

Ah. Happy 16th birthday to me. Assuming I was out for just a day, of course. I was hyped for this, before… this. I was gonna go see a movie, catch up with some people, play games nonstop. Seriously, I still gotta beat Sans…

Wait.

Huge pillars. Possibly underground. Shaft of light. Golden freakin flowers.

Oh snap.


So yeah, I'm trying my best not to flip out now. Interesting way to wake up, eh? Beats an alarm anyday.

HOWTHEHECKDIDTHISHAPPEN?!

Yeah, I'm not calm whatsoever. I'm more stunned than anything; I can't think straight. UNDERTALE?! How…

Heh. Kinda sad my mind goes directly to Undertale. Guess that what happens when you obsess over one thing for months on end.

Alright, first of all, there's no real reason that I should be in a video game. Who knows? There could be a place that looks exactly like that spawning screen…

Unlikely. Still, it's easily solved. Just have to walk through… Yep, there's a door up ahead. So if a walk through there, Flowey should pop up and attack me. Great plan!

Yeah, stupid plan. I mean I know RESETS are a thing, but seriously. Let's not test it. I'd rather not die at all, thank you very much! This isn't a game, whether I'm actually in the Underground or not. I'm not limited by programming. I could literally just sit here until Toriel comes to check on Chara's grave again. Hey, that's actually a decent plan…

Huh. There's a thought. Am I lying on top of Chara's body?

...oh don't even think about it. That's disgusting.

But still...Hm.

Go back to where I woke up, and-

oh.

Bit of wood sticking out.

OH.

So yeah. Go over to it, yep, that's a coffin. Not very deep... only a thin layer of dirt and flowers is covering it. How did I not notice this before?

...well, aside from the point that I have no idea where I am.

Brush aside dirt and flowers. I guess that Toriel had another one made, since there's still one in the castle during the game. Check the name… Yep, that confirms it.

I'm in UNDERTALE.

I AM IN UNDERTALE.

Ohmygod.

You know, it really didn't settle in before. But this… this is…

I have a feeling that this is going to be a long day.


Hey ya'll. First off, happy anniversary to Undertale! Also my B-day, yee. Side note-Toby did some stuff for the anniversary. Check out his blog, if you have the time.

Some things about me- junior in high school, 16 year old male, Korean…

And I am utter fandom trash.

As for writing, I'm aware that I'm no Shakespeare, but I would truly enjoy the opportunity to improve. This is my first fanfic; don't expect too much. Criticism is much appreciated.

EDIT: Great point out from a random Guest. The first draft had me... digging up the coffin.

What was I high on, again?

In hindsight, that was completely messed up. Took that out, made it slightly more realistic. So, thank you to Guest.
