( And here's the next chapter that includes the finale of the forest journey and Jason gets over his temporary fear of dogs. Also a lot of this is inner monologue as he isn't even breathing and talking interacts with your ability to breath but it's not like he really as anyone to talk to right now. I also set a record with this chapter as it is the longest one in this story so far. )

As he ran away from the absolutely terrifying dog to the cave entrance he suddenly realized he really needed to get stronger and not just at certain points in time. 'What about my iron lungs? I could have that constantly active... that would certainly help but I don't know how to just stop bre-'

Turn off breathing? It will be deactivated until you run out and then will reactivated when lungs are refilled.

Right under these words was a check box or a x box. 'Well that's convenient!' And he activated it. 'Now then time to go' he walked past Sans and reached the ruined trees before. continuing on and past San-'wait what?' He looked at him out of the corner of his eye with the greed you only see in videogamers.

'Can he teleport? That would be SOOOO useful but I have no idea how I could learn it...' while consumed with these thoughts he almost turned to the path up but than reconsidered and looked at his wall running skill.

WALLRUNNING Lv-4

Gravity what's that?

40% Ability to stick to a wall.

20% Chance to confuse enemies about your location.

'Time to make it level five' he thought and sprinted at the cliff while running to the wall alongside the snow filled area he had avoided earlier. As he touched it he moved up until he flipped and grabbed the edge to get a side view.

Nothing absolutely nothing except a dog house and a bunch of snow piles... besides the far right one that was moving. He spotted a fluffy tale and had a feeling of relief and fear from his two separate encounters with dogs.

He cautiously pulled himself up and approached the small pile of snow with sprint ready. As soon as he was three feet away the dogs head popped out and it barked cheerfully. "Aww its just a-a-a huge dog!" He exclaimed as it rose out of the snow. It wasn't really taller than him but it's bulky muscles looked intimidating. It also had a spear with a dog face on it that it swiped at him while glowing blue.

Fight Initiated

Greater Dog LOVE 1

He noticed the blue aura and used observe.

Dog Spear

The weapon of greater dog.

Damage 6

*currently using blue magic means standing still causes it to do no damage.*

'Oh... huh I don't know why I thought all dogs would op like that last one' Jason says as he stands while the spear passes right through him. He reaches up and pets the dog and its eyes get kind of droopy until it seems to shake itself.

Then the dog pulls another dog out of knowhere and puts it on the ground while it sleeps. 'Uhhh...' Jason merely stands there looks at it for ten seconds before grabbing the other dog and putting at the sidelines. 'Well this is easy all I have to do is stand here' he notices the dog is just waiting expectantly and he reaches up to it again but this time begins to summon wind to sort of give the dog a nice breeze that seems to calm it and it begins to stoop over while waving its blue staff and him.

Jason continues petting it ignoring the pop up's that just appeared and hugs the dog. It finally falls asleep and it's full weight falls on him causing him to nearly crash. 'Gk s-so heavy' he managed to lift the dog and is rewarded with another pop up and sees the alerts that now number four.

HP: 1400 Regen: 12

You can now lift 350 pounds. ( AN: The rate of regen, HP size, and VIT gain doubled because the stats are over ten and milestones provide bonuses. )

'Less human?!' He is alarmed by the comment but just assumes it must be the game messing with him. 'This power almost seems like its sentient sometimes.' Ignoring the disturbing thought for now he realizes that he now has a good chance to train STR and VIT. He lifts the sleeping dog over his head and walks forward to a bridge where noticed Sans and Papyrus waiting.

"HUMAN I SEE YOU HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED AND WITH AN UNEXPECTED COMPANION! BUT IT DOESNT MATTER! THIS SHALL ONLY BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR SOMEONE WHO SEEMS TO WANT TO FOLLOW IN I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS'S FOOTSTEPS! THIS IS THE FINAL CHALLENGE! NOW ARE YOU READY?"

Glancing to the sides Jason sees various dangerous objects and a random dog on both sides of the platform. 'Well I should just be able to sprint through it' He nods in answer to Papyrus's question. "WELL BE READY BECAUSE! I! AM! ABOUT! TO! DO! IT!" And Papyrus did absolutely nothing. "I-IM GOING TO ACTIVATE IT RIGHT NOW SO BE PREPARED HUMAN!" Jason waited but still nothing although he received two notifications and then a third.

Right before his no breathing option reactivated he turned it off. 'That's he enough for now' "so... you going to activate it?" "OF COURSE I AM HUMAN IM ACTIVATING IT NOW!" Papyrus exclaimed angrily. "I'm with the human on this one bro I'm pretty sure your not going to activate it tibia honest" Sans said from beside him. "OH BE QUIET SANS YOU'VE BEEN GRUMPY ALL DAY AND WONT TE-" "can you please activate the trap?" "OH YES THE HUMAN WELL I-UH DECIDED THIS IS FAR TO EASY FOR US AND AM GOING TO JUST NOT TURN IT ON."

All of the hanging weaponry (and the dog) retracted up and out of sight as Papyrus turned to Sans. "COME BROTHER I SHALL LEAD YOU HOME AND WE SHALL DISCUSS WHAT IS BOTHERING YOu AS ANY GOOD BROTHER SHOULD AND FORTUNATELY FOR YOU I AM A GREAT BROTHER! NYEH HEH HEH!" With that Sans is dragged along behind Papyrus. Jason then continued on with greater dog before setting him down across the bridge.

Due to lifting a pretty heavy dog you have gained one STR and one VIT.

STR: 15

VIT: 15

HP: 1700 Regen: 15

You can now lift up to 500 pounds!

( AN: I forgot to add this but before STR ten each STR=2.5 physical damage and after ten each STR=5 physical damage so Jason's damage if he punches someone at full force is now 50 which means he can two shot a normal human with his fists. )

Jason glances to the side and notices a sign saying 'Welcome to Snowdin' he also notices many buildings and begins to walk down the lane that has several monsters on it such as a rabbit walking a rat and some Dino kid that look at him but don't actually say much. "Nice I guess I can find grillby's" he conviently finds it right then as it's the fourth building he comes across. "Huh that was easy maybe I should just wait for Saaaaaaaa-" his train of thought shuts down as he looks to the right and sees the next building over titled 'Library.'

"CHANGE OF PLANS!" He abruptly rushed right over to the library and enters it. "Time to increase my Intelligence!" He begins to grab the first book he sees that is something about robotics and begins to vigorously read while glancing at his reading level.

"Yes!" Just from reading one book he had gained over twice the MP amount. He looked around and noticed he was being looked at funny so he grabbed the largest book he could find and instead began to look at it while trying to stay quieter it happened to talk about the various ways monsters used magic. He managed to get two more reading levels and 5 more INT and WIS due to the bonus before he left for Grillby's.

'Excellent! Wait thirty minutes!' He closes the book and places it back on the shelf before heading outside. 'To bad I can't use the same magic but at least I'm unique down here' as he was going to turn to Grillby's he heard Sans and Papyrus talking over the full chatter. Using his Caution soul buff he listened in.

"ARE YOU SURE SANS? YOU REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN ACTING LIKE YOURSELF AFTER THIS MORNING!" "I will be fine Papyrus stop worrying I just need some Grillby's ketchup and will be good as new." "IF YOU SAY SO BROTHER DO NOT BE OUT TO LONG OR ELSE I THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL HAVE TO COME AND SAVE YOU NYEH HEH HEH!" He heard a door shut and started heading to Grillby's to wait.

Of course he didn't have to wait at all as Sans was already there sitting at a bar. He walked over past several monsters and sat down next to him. "Heh you sure look bone tired kid" 'I just realized how long had it been since this first began? It feels like a decade but I don't think it's even been two days for me!' "No just tired of waiting for answers."

At that moment a very finely dressed walking fire man came up to us after leaving a backdoor. "Ah Sans I'm suprised it took you this long to get here normally you come here at least two or three times a day." "It's just not been a good one Grillbz but say you do have some of your ketchup on standby right?" "Of course I do that's always your order. Now do you want anything human?" He asks while turning his glasses and what Jason assumes to be his face to him.

"Uhh..." "he can take some fries just put it on my tab." "As if it wasn't large enough" Grillby says and walks away to attend to his own duties and fill all of the orders. "I'm tired of waiting" "of course you are... I may as well go to the beginning which is conveniently tomorrow" "Tomorrow?" "I'm explaining don't interrupt. Now it was a day like any other." "Birds were singing, flowers were blooming, well I guess they were somewhere certainly not down here."

"I of course woke up to Papyrus attempting to create spaghetti downstairs and as usual waited ten minutes to get out of bed before giving up. Once we had gotten ready for our forest sentry duties though everything changed..."

'Tomorrow' Ruin entrance

( AN: I don't know how in charecter this is but I'm attempting to make him more like normal Sans not the more 'aggressive one.' )

Like he had for the last several hours Sans lazily sat at one of his stations doing absolutely nothing. Unfortunately he couldn't exchange knock-knock jokes with his friend behind the door as they had mentioned they had something important to do. So he sat there until he heard the ruins door creek open. He suddenly became more aware and rather confused as no one EVER came from the ruins and even though he hated to do so he got up and took a 'shortcut' to the forest around the door.

As it fully opened and closed he watched a small figure looking like no monster he had ever seen before exit the ruins. 'It's a human been a while since one arrived here' he kept trailing them as they walked down the straight path and got a perfect idea to prank them. He took out an emergency Whoopi cushion and slid it on his hand and stepped out of the forest right before the human reached the bridge.

They froze as they heard his slippers crunch the snow and he walked casually with no concerns. As soon as he was right behind them he said "Human don't you know how to greet a new friend? Turn around and shake my hand."

And they did just that.

'The day before'

"After that I just watched them head through the underground making various friends along the way" "Why?" "Haven't I told you to not interrupt me?" "Sorry but I really need to know" *sigh* "What?" "Why would you do that when you sounded so lazy? It seems you were a lot lazier than you are now or at least your more active" "I... made a promise one I don't really care about keeping anymore."

Just as Sans was about of continue Grillby can out with a bottle of ketchup and some fries. "Sans here is your usual and for the human some fries" "thanks Grillbz" "thanks" Jason had no idea if the fries were different down here but he used observe anyway.

Monster Fries

Prepared by Grillby

Heals 20 HP and 20 Magic.

Seeing nothing wrong with it he began to eat ravenously causing his somewhat low magic to regain some more points from his use of it during training.

MP: 1456

'Delicious!' He finished the fries in a record time shocking many monsters who kept glancing at him because he was a human. Sans however was simply drinking his ketchup. "Okay I'm sorry for interrupting can we continue?" "Fine now after the human went through the underground they faced me one final time. They pretty much passed my judgement with flying colors-" "wait a moment judgement?!" "Didn't I tell you not to interrupt? I will explain it later." "Sorry it's just I so many questions and need to understand."

"That's why I'm explaining all of this now... they moved on to fight Asgore the king and I have no idea what happened but I suppose it doesn't really matter anymore because at the end of their fight the souls and the human disappeared. The only thing the royal guards found was dust that was presumed to be the King's. After that my friend from the ruins revealed herself to be the exiled queen who retook her position and enstated a policy where all humans who fell down would be treated as friends. I told this to the human through a cellphone they had been given through the journey but... I think it was a mistake."

'Three or Four days from now' The Surface

"Be seeing you, ok, buddy?" "BYE BYE FOR NOW!" "See ya, punk!" (Click) somewhere on the surface a phone is put away and a human sits down thinking deeply about if they could do better, be better, and save everyone.

They decide yes and reset that very moment.

'Three or Four days back' Snowdin

"Hindsight really can damage your mental state because if I never made that call looking back on it now... we should've left things as they were, I should've left things as they were, and the human should've never come back. Now before I continue on give me a question that I won't answer when I actually go deeper in this."

"Judgement?" "Essentially while watching the human I took mental notes of their behavior, their LOVE, and how they interacted with the monsters. At the end I judged them for all of it and let them pass." "Oh yeahwhat is LOVE ( AN: baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more ) the way you talk about it makes it seem like it isn't exactly how much you want to kiss someone." "LOVE stands for level of Violence which is someone's capacity to hurt others." "Doesn't seem like it's an appropriate or accurately representing anagram..." "well what are ya gonna do?" Sans shrugs and takes another swig of ketchup.

Once he is finished he continues "anyway after the call everything began to go dark. I was rather concerned when I woke up the exact same thing I had days before. I went through the motions again not knowing what or who had manipulated the timeline."

His expression darkens "As soon as I met the human again I knew two things: They had to be the source of the timelines changing as they had changed, interacted differently, and had the look of someone who had done it all before. And... they killed someone because they had a dust covered knife and tears on their face along with grief and guilt they didn't before."

"I also realized their LOVE increased from one to two. I of course mentioned some of the changes probably alarming them. After that though the chain of events that led to Asgore continued the same way. After the fight I went back to the ruins door and had no answer to my knocks. I was slightly aggressive in mentioning it when I called them a second time but knew I couldn't even do anything about it."

"That was the beginning over time they just kept resetting and my lazy joking personality cracked each time it happened. I also noticed they killed more and more monsters as well. Last time I thought about slaughtering them the moment they walked out of the ruins but restrained myself because the one redeeming thing about them is they have never killed my brother presumably because he was always kind to them."

"But today I honestly believed things would be different... I actually took a normal nap thinking maybe the hell I was stuck in was finally over as it was a day earlier. But as soon as everything began to go back several times over I really snapped and was completely ready to try and turn that kid into a smear. Only my curiosity at a different humans appearance allowed me to hold back attacking you."

"How many times has this happened?" Jason asked while slightly horrified at the prospect of being stuck in a time loop with only the person controlling it remembering besides you. "This is probably the 83rd reset" Sans muttered "and kid I'm sorry for how much anger I directed at you for something some other human did." "Well thank you, you deeply insulted me in the forest and I started to build my own hatred towards you."

"I just want it to end but it's only gotten worse. I've noticed a sick grin on their face many times and I just want to stick a bone in it..." he clenches his ketchup bottle hard for a second before relaxing it "Now you give me your story." "Well there isn't much to tell I just had some normal human life which isn't interesting and I just had to come here to... get away from things."

"Really like what?" "Uh home problems really really big ones and well thanks for the talk but... I have to go I need to see what else is in the underground." "Heh see ya later" Sans said before continuing to drink out of his ketchup bottle.

Jason left Grillby's and turned to the left seeing a wall of rock and a small entrance. "I think that's where I need to go... he began to walk forward towards the cave entrance and was beset by Papyrus as he neared it. "AHA TRYING TO SNEAK AWAY UNDER I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS'S NOSE?! IMPOSSIBLE HUMAN YOU MUST STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR WORD TO REACH THE KING OF YOUR ARRIVAL!"

"Sorry I need to go Papyrus so if you could just-" he attempts to move past him but is stopped by a wall of bones. "HAH NICETRY HUMAN BUT YOU WILL NOT GET PAST M-" his jaw fell open in shock as charred shards of bone flew past his face. Jason then ran right through the hole he had made in the bone wall and out of sight. "G-GET BACK HERE HUMAN!" Papyrus attempts to exclaim but Jason is already gone somewhere within the caves.

( AN: Yes I skipped the Papyrus fight but tbh not only can Papyrus not kill you he also has KNOWHERE near the strength required to actually stop Jason from continuing.

Also aspire5515 glad you like my response! Also here is Sans OOC explanation and yes I realize it's not like 200 resets or something but even someone as lazy as Sans can't just be immune to change or well 'unchange' in this case.
