Save reload after save reload, you had tried getting your knife closer to Sans' chest. It was difficult, yes, but after so many failed attempts, you had memorized his attacks up until his fake mercy. Now that you thought about it, it was pretty stupid to think he would spare you. This was Horrortale after all. Your 50th attempt started off differently. "Kid...Why do you keep coming back? Aren't you getting sick of dying?" You smirk at him. "Oh Sans. Would you like to see the answer?" You put a hand to your chest and slowly draw out your soul. Sans' permanent smile falters a bit at the sight of your soul. "How? That's impossible!" You smile. "I don't know how I did it, but I offered half of my soul to a friend of mine. I can't reset because of this. So, if you died, you won't have to see me again. Promise." You let out a few half-hearted laughs. "Fine then." You stop laughing and stare at him in shock. "What? Are you actually sacrificing yourself? How pathetic!" Sans just shrugs. "It's like you said. I wouldn't have to see your face again if I died. So, do it. I lost my reason to live a few hours ago anyway." You frown. You didn't want him to willingly want to die. It wouldn't be fun killing him. "I'm sparing you. It wouldn't be fair to me if you died happily." You walk past him, expecting to meet the game over screen. But...nothing happened.

Asgore was taken care of earlier on, thanks to Flowey. You are now at the barrier. You take a moment to stare into the whiteness, thinking about everything you've done. You had gone insane quicker than you thought you would. You were thankful that you spared Sans. Now, with his soul you could break the barrier and finally get home. "I'm assuming you're going to use my soul to break the barrier?" You flinch at Sans' voice. "That's exactly what I plan on doing. But...uh..." He raises a non-existent eyebrow. "You don't know how to do this, do you?" You shake your head, ashamed of yourself. He walks up to you and holds out a hand. "Grab a hold of me and close your eyes." You give him a suspicious look, but grab his hand anyway. You feel your body stretching and twisting uncomfortably, before returning back to normal. You open your eyes to find your city in a crimson color. The moon shone above, white instead of red like everything else around you. "What happened?!" You look to your left to find a pile of dust. Sans'. You look at your right arm. Just a shriveled up flower. Chara seems to have disappeared as well. You curl yourself up in a ball and silently weep. Not only had you done Genocide, but you were now alone in a zombie-like version of your real home.


"Hey! I found Y/N!" The voice of Asriel is heard. You blinked a few times, your vision switching from a blood red scenery to a sunny day. "Y/N? Hey, wake up! Mom's worried." You blink and find out that your eyes have been closed. You sit up. "I'm sorry." You say quietly. Asriel gives you a confused look before helping you to your feet."Y/N!" The familiar voice of Sans is heard. He rushes up to you and hugs you. When he pulls away, he looks concerned. Everyone explains how you disappeared from Sans' bed and ended up on the side of . You covered up your nervousness with laughter.

As soon as you get home, Sans pulls you into his room. "Let me see your LV." You show him and it switches from LV 1 to LV 20. "What did you do?" You look at him timidly. "I might have done something I shouldn't have." His eye sockets go black for a second before returning to normal. "Do you have any idea how you ended up on ?" He asks, changing the topic. "Well, I think it has something to do with resets. I wasn't able to reset when I was in Horrortale." Sans doesn't question Horrortale. "Why can't you reset?" You take out your soul. He stares at it wide-eyed. "This is why." You simply state. You didn't expect Sans to hug you. "You idiot. You know your weaker now, right?" You are a bit offended, but hug back nonetheless. "But I have you to protect me, don't I?" You hear Sans humming in confirmation. "Chara, why are you still here?" Sans asks. "I still have to narrate." I reply. "Oh." You say. I knew I should've helped you, but...meh. Moment's past already. Until our next story, Reader!
