WARNING: This story contains extreme levels of Charisk Trash. What could have been a perfectly good, well-crafted narrative has been totally ruined by my incessant need to insert gratuitous, self-indulgent Charisk Trash everywhere I can. Some of the content is even sexually suggestive and I should be very, very ashamed of myself.

But I'm not apologizing.

If you wish to proceed, please note that this story is a sequel (of sorts) to my previous work, Frisk: God of the World. If you don't feel like reading that story or need a refresher, key details from it may be found in the end notes.

Finally, I would like to thank coincidencless for his continued support as an editor. He has been a great help during my last story, and he has some excellent stories of his own if you want to take a look. Seriously, thank you.

Okay, I'll shut up now. Please enjoy.

As the auditorium fell silent, Frisk took a deep breath and held Chara's hand tight. He stared with venomous fire in his red eyes as President Clovis walked onto the stage. He couldn't believe this was happening. After everything Chara had done for them, this was how they repaid her? It was sick. Frisk had expected nothing less from Clovis, but how could Congress approve something so draconian?

"My fellow citizens," Clovis began, "today, we have gathered to formally announce the total prohibition of all reset activity. From this day forward, all resets will be considered a crime against the people of Earth punishable by death. No longer will World Masters have the freedom to play God and manipulate the timeline as they see fit. This is for all of our safety.

"As you are no doubt aware, Frisk is no longer the World Master. That curse has fallen on Chara Dreemurr, a demon who has risen to LV 6. As she has demonstrated, demons respond to EXP far differently than ordinary humans. They don't simply get a slight boost in Hit Points, Attack, and Defense. For them, every EXP gained is one step closer to becoming a godlike entity capable of erasing the world. For this reason, Chara has surpassed Frisk as World Master.

"Think about that. At just LV 6, Chara Dreemurr has overtaken the most determined being in the world. In other words, once a demon gains enough EXP, they are able to seize control of the timeline, turning them into a deadly force with unlimited lives. Our magical engineers are working hard to improve KARMA technology, but what will it matter against a timeline manipulator of such power? We cannot allow demons to run rampant with no consequences. It is time we abolish a practice that should have been condemned long ago. It is time we learn to accept the outcome of our actions. It is time we ensure that the timeline always moves forward.

"It is time for World Masters to end."

The auditorium thundered with applause, but Frisk kept his hands still. They weren't even trying to hide it. This new law was a blatant slap in Chara's face. World Masters had been accepted as part of society for thousands of years, but now that Chara was World Master, resetting was suddenly a capital offense? This wasn't about resetting at all. They just hated Chara and wanted her dead.

Frisk had done everything he could to stop this, but the World Government wouldn't budge. He asked them how someone could be charged for a crime that technically never happened. Clovis argued that, even if the world was reset to a previous state, those events did happen, and the World Master should be held accountable for resetting. Frisk then questioned how they would even know who did the reset. Clovis, who was smarter than Frisk had realized, explained that scientists could detect the origin and destination of a reset. A World Master could only reset to a point when they were World Master, so if Chara were to reset, scientists could easily prove it was her based on the point in time the world was reset to.

It didn't matter what Frisk said; there was no getting through to him.

"Chara Dreemurr," Clovis called, "step forward."

It wasn't too late. Chara could still reset. Maybe they could try again, stop this law from being passed. Surely, there had to be something…

Frisk felt Chara's hand slip away as she rose from her seat. She made her way down the stairs and stepped onto the stage. Clovis clapped a metal band around Chara's wrist, a file reader. Once it was in place, a large monitor hung over the stage displayed a black screen with white text.

Chara, LV 6, Capitol Building

Chara closed her eyes…

FILE ERASED

Now that she had erased her SAVE files, Chara could no longer reset to any point in time before that moment. If she wanted to, she could still make another SAVE file and load it, but to do so would have been in violation of the law. There was no turning back now.

Chara returned to her seat, and the politicians continued speaking, prattling on about how immoral resets were and how they should have abolished them long ago. When the last one finally finished, crowds of people got out of their seats buzzing with chatter. Frisk got up and weaved his way through them, eager to leave the Capitol Building. Chara followed close behind.

"Umm, are you okay?" Chara asked.

Frisk stared back at her. How was she taking this so well? Hadn't she realized what the World Government had done? Didn't she realize the danger they were in? There were plenty of people who would have loved to see both Frisk and Chara dead for letting the monsters go free, or because they couldn't forgive Chara's past, or simply because they were demons. This new law was practically an open invitation to murder them. Resetting had saved both of their lives before, but if they died again, that was it. They were fully mortal now.

Chara tugged on Frisk's arm. "Frisk…"

"… let's get out of here," Frisk said.

Chara nodded. "All right."

Frisk moved out of the auditorium and into the Capitol's main lobby. He stayed close to Chara, as if someone in the crowd could jump out and stab her at any moment. He knew that Chara's Sense Enemy passive skill would alert her of any active threats, but he still felt nervous. Was he being paranoid? After having resets on his side for so long, maybe he had forgotten how to handle mortality.

As they stood in the lobby, Toriel and Asriel caught up to them. "Frisk, are you okay?" Asriel asked.

Asriel had grown a lot over the past four years. Although his body didn't siphon energy from Asgore and Toriel like a normal boss monster, he was able to age himself manually thanks to his adult boss monster soul. He was as tall as a typical adult human, and his horns were about half as long as Asgore's. He was pretty cool-looking, Frisk had to say, but now wasn't the time to admire his potential brother-in-law. Frisk looked at him solemnly.

"I don't like this, Asriel," Frisk replied. "I mean, I never liked resetting, but it's just so suspicious, you know?"

"That may be so," Toriel said. "However, if anyone wishes to harm you or my child, they will have to answer to me."

"Yeah!" Asriel exclaimed. "If anyone tries to mess with you, I'll go Flowey on them!"

Frisk smiled. "Thanks, but you can't always be there to protect us."

"Hey, I've always got an eye socket on you."

Out of nowhere, Sans casually strolled over to join them. "So, what's up?"

"Frisk is freaking out because he thinks the government is trying to kill Chara," Asriel said.

"I'm not freaking out!" Frisk protested. "I'm just… reasonably concerned."

"Yeah, I can see that," Sans said. "You have a special power, but you're not allowed to use it. Must be frustrating."

"Umm, actually," Chara said, "I think this is the way it should be."

Frisk stared at her with wide eyes. "What? Chara, don't you understand? They don't hate resets; they just don't want you to reset."

"That may be true," Chara said. "Regardless, I believe the world will be better off without resets."

"What if you die?" Frisk challenged. "What if I die? Are you saying the world would be better off without me?"

Chara whimpered. "Frisk, that's not fair!"

"I…" Great, now he felt like a jerk. He frowned. "Sorry, I didn't mean to…"

Chara nodded. "It's okay. I know you're just worried about me."

"You know, Frisk," Sans said, "literally everyone else has to live without the power to reset, so why can't you?"

That hit like a punch in the gut. Frisk knew resetting wasn't fair. Still, he had undone more than one death by resetting back when he was World Master. Toriel, Asgore… Chara, they all would have been dead if he had refused to reset.

"People have killed us before," Frisk said. "What if it happens again?"

Chara smiled. "They can try."

"Chara…"

"That's the spirit!" Sans said. "Yeah, you aren't going to let some random killer stop you after everything you've been through, right?"

Frisk wasn't so sure. Without resets, one loss was all it took.

Sans continued. "Of course, that's assuming that someone is out to get you. Maybe there is no greater conspiracy here, and you're fretting over nothing."

Frisk sighed. "Okay, okay. You made your point."

"Aren't you starting college soon?" Sans asked. "That's all you should be thinking about."

Right, they started in a couple weeks. Frisk and Asriel were enrolled at Ebott University, and Chara had been accepted into Alpin University to study magical engineering. Frisk hoped that everything would work out smoothly.

"Indeed, they do," Toriel said. "I am very proud of them, but it is a bittersweet feeling knowing that they are leaving home."

Asriel laughed. "It's not like we're going to the other side of the world. Both of our colleges are only about a couple hours of driving away."

"I know," Toriel said. "Regardless, I will miss you."

"You know the plan," Chara said. "We'll come home on the weekends."

"Speaking of going home…" Asriel said.

Toriel nodded. "Yes, I believe we have lingered here long enough."

Frisk looked at Sans and waved goodbye. "Bye, Sans. Thanks for trying to cheer me up."

"Don't mention it," Sans replied.

Chara held Frisk's hand, "Let's go home, Frisk."

Frisk hoped Sans was right. He hoped there was nothing to worry about, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Still, the warmth of Chara's hand brought him some comfort. Staying close to her side, Frisk went back home.

Frisk stepped into his room, and Chara followed him inside. Frisk threw himself down onto his bed and pounded his fists on the sheets. "Fine! Fine, fine, fine! Take away our resets! What do I care?"

Chara sat down on the bed next him, and she started rubbing his back. "It'll be okay."

"Aren't you worried?" Frisk asked.

"Of course I am," Chara said, "but I also have faith in ourselves. I'm much stronger that I was four years ago, and you are, too. You haven't been training with me and Undyne for nothing, have you?"

Yes, for about four years now, Frisk had been learning how to use magic. As a demon, he was able to master spells much more naturally than an ordinary human, allowing him to quickly turn into a capable mage. He still wasn't as strong as Chara, but he had fun training with her and Undyne. He was confident he could help Chara in a fight if they were forced into one, but would it be enough?

"Ah…"

Frisk lost his train of thought as Chara's tender hands kept sliding up and down his back. "It's not like you to be so nervous," she said. "No matter how bad things get, you're always full of hope. The Frisk I know wouldn't be afraid just because his lovely girlfriend isn't allowed to reset anymore."

Chara was making a compelling argument, on multiple fronts. She massaged his back for a while longer before turning him over, allowing Frisk to stare at her gorgeous ruby eyes and warm smile. He was so blessed to be with her, but the world seemed determined to take her away from him. He couldn't let that happen. He couldn't allow anything to stand between him and a happy life with Chara.

"Frisk…" Chara cupped Frisk's cheeks and kissed him on the lips. At that moment, Frisk forgot everything about politics and resets as he wrapped his arms tightly around Chara's warm body, feeling his nerves electrify as he kissed Chara back. He felt Chara slip her tongue inside his mouth, making his heart pound as they kissed each other deeply, passionately, intertwining their tongues and holding each other tight.

Frisk panted as Chara eventually pulled away. "Chara…"

Chara looked down at him with a loving smile. "Feeling better?"

Frisk laughed. "Yeah, that's one way to do it."

Chara kissed his cheek. "I'm glad."

Frisk looked up and admired his girlfriend. She was so strong, beautiful, smart, funny… what more could he ask for? He reached out his hand and caressed her pink cheek. "What did I do to deserve you?"

"I believe that's my line," Chara said.

"What? I'm just some guy who walked through a cave without killing anyone. You're the hero here."

"Need I remind you that the cave was fraught with mortal danger?"

"Need I remind you of the unsung hero who helped me through it?"

Chara stroked his chin. "Hmm, perhaps we can make a compromise. Let us agree that we are both heroes, that we are both awesome, and that we both equally deserve each other."

Frisk smiled. "I can accept those terms."

Chara gave him another kiss on the lips. "Then, it is agreed."

Moments like these always filled Frisk with a tender warmth in his heart. He sat up and kissed Chara's lips one more time. "I love you."

"I love you too," Chara whispered.

Frisk rested his head against Chara's shoulder, and they sat quietly for a while.

"… then again," Chara said, "we're done being heroes, aren't we? At least, we're done risking our lives to save the world."

Frisk nodded. "Yeah, our lives come first now."

"Not that I intend to be useless," Chara said. "That's why I enrolled in Alpin University, after all. I want to study magic, so I can find a way to make absolutely certain that soul absorption is no longer a threat."

Frisk smiled at her. "I'm so proud of you."

Chara smiled back. "You've got big plans for yourself, too. Still on the path to becoming a human-monster ambassador." She held his shoulder. "You know, we won't get to see each other as much once we start."

"Now you sound like your mother," Frisk teased. "You just can't get enough of me, can you? We'll still see each other on weekends, remember?"

"True," Chara said, "though we might get swamped with work later on. We better enjoy our time together while it lasts." Her red eyes lit up. "Hey, we should do something special the first time we get back."

Frisk smirked. "Something special, you say?" He waggled his eyebrows.

Chara smirked back. "Well, we have been dating for a long time now…"

Frisk blushed. He had said it, but he hadn't expected such an eager response. "Uh, I…"

Chara kept smiling and stroked his hair. "So, you want to get frisky with me, do you?"

Frisk swallowed. "Umm… do you?"

She nodded. "I do. Some call it sin, but I see nothing wrong with a loving couple being intimate with each other. I'm ready to take this step if you are."

"… is it safe?" Frisk asked. "Are you...?"

"Oh, don't worry about that," Chara said. "I have a birth control implant. You won't get me pregnant, Frisk."

It wasn't like they could get each other sick, either. They were a faithful couple, and on top of that, demons were immune to infection. The only thing stopping them was their willingness to engage in such an intimate act.

Frisk smiled. "But, Chara, don't you have a thing about consequences?"

Chara laughed. "I would love to have your children someday, just not yet. The consequences will come later." She winked. "Unlike you."

He blushed profusely. "Ch-Chara..."

"Well, Frisk? What do you say? I don't mean to pressure you, but I'm finding you harder to resist every day."

"Ooh, sexy rhyme," Frisk said.

"Holy shit, it does!" Chara realized.

"You should be a poet."

"Damn it, Frisk! Do you want to have sex with me or not?"

Frisk did want this. He loved Chara so much. He wasn't sure why he hadn't brought it up sooner, but now that he knew she was ready, how could he possibly refuse? Frisk brushed his fingers along his girlfriend's beautiful face and nodded. "Alright, let's do it."

Chara's eyes widened. "Really? You mean it?"

"Y-yeah, I'm ready."

Chara grinned. "All right! It's about… I mean, yeah, that's cool."

Frisk's heart was beating a mile a minute. God, he hoped no one was listening to them… ah, who was he kidding? He was Frisky Frisk! He didn't care! He smiled shamelessly. "Okay, it's a date, then."

"I look forward to it," Chara said. "Though, I think we should do something else first."

Frisk thought it over. Perhaps they could go to a nice restaurant like the MTT Resort or Muffet's Café, or what about…

"Ooh, we could go to UnderLand!" Frisk suggested.

"Ah, excellent idea!" Chara exclaimed. "It's settled then! First Saturday after college, we'll meet up, go to UnderLand, come home, and then finally make love. Ah, it felt so good to say that!"

Frisk laughed. "Someone's excited."

Chara playfully shrugged. "What can I say? I've been waiting for this."

"Heh, uh, I'm glad you're happy." He decided to changed the subject. "So, uh, are you ready for college?"

Chara nodded. "I am. How about you?"

"Yeah, I'm ready…" Frisk's thoughts turned dark again. Chara wasn't going to just any college. She was going to a college specialized in magic, filled with mages who could effortlessly fry the average person with their powerful spells. His tone grew serious. "Chara, do be careful over there."

"I will," Chara said. "You be careful, too, but don't be afraid."

"Of course, Chara."

Frisk was still worried, but Chara had certainly done an excellent job comforting him. He knew she was strong. If someone did try to hurt her, Frisk knew she could defend herself. Only time would tell how people reacted to the outlaw of resets. Until then, Frisk would do his best to remain hopeful.

But, he wasn't going to let his guard down anytime soon.

AN: All right, in case you're lost…

- First of all, this story is not set in "our" Earth. It is an alternate history where humanity remained united under a global alliance following the Human-Monster War, formerly known as the Human Government, now known as the World Government.

- A "demon" in this universe is a human who had a red soul, died, lost their red soul, and was later resurrected by another red soul. Should a demon amass enough kills, they'll have the power to do exactly what Chara does at the end of a Genocide Run. There are currently three known demons in the world.

- Frisk and Chara are both demons. How did Frisk become a demon? Read Frisk: God of the World if you want to find out. ;)

- Chara is LV 6 because she had to kill some terrorists who were plotting to exterminate monsterkind.

- The "World Master" is simply the person with the most determination in the world and has the power to save and reset.

- Chara and Frisk might have a slight crush on each other.

Okay, I think that's about it. Oh, and, uh, about Frisk and Chara's plans to, uh… it's for the plot. Yeah, for the plot. That's what I'm going with. There will be nothing explicit here. Sorry to disappoint you/you can breathe a sigh of relief. You're technically not even allowed to post that stuff on this website, not that I'm one to judge. If you are looking for that kind of content, I suggest trying another site that allows it, such as Archive of Our Own.

Yeah, Archive of Our Own...
