I am back again, this time without an incredibly long pause! It took me some time to get out of writer's block for this story, but in the meantime I think I got better at writing. Probably.

Anyways, the votes are in and he's gonna be able to save, with a mechanic really close to the original game. Last thing before the chapter, i'm convinced that Chara wasn't a bad person but the player corrupted them, so take that in account when reading the story. I'm also for Chara is the narrator.

Time to answer to guest reviews from ! Spacebattlers close your eyes.

Mari:

Why is he hiding that he is from another universe?

Looking forward to what you write next. The little details you put in helped to make it interesting.

Well, except from Sans and maybe Flowey, nobody would believe they're in a game. Would you like it if someone came right up to you, talked about things way too personal, then told you you were in a game all along? Sorry if this sounded ruder than intended hehe. Anyways, thanks for the support.

DETERMINATION:

Chapter 3 - The save file

There it was. The shiny star that destroyed countless lives then put them back like nothing happened. The shiny star that may or may not corrupt me. I don't know if it will but i'll try my hardest not to get corrupted by power.

I went to touch it and a screen appeared in front of me, floating in the air. Kind of reminded me of The Gamer but with an Undertale UI. There were 2 buttons: SAVE and CANCEL, With… my name on the upper left of the screen. Uh. I expected it to be Chara but okay. Another difference. Anyways, on the upper middle it obviously stated LVL 1 since I didn't kill any monsters. It also had my play time on the upper right. Huh.

*The shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with determination. HP fully restored.

Are you going to narrate everything i'm going to do?

*Yes, since I have absolutely nothing else to do, I'm stuck in your body remember?

This kinds of make me wonder if they had the save back then. How would they know about DT and all that stuff? Maybe being fused with Asriel hold them back from loading since Asriel was in control, and he didn't have a save nor did he know how to load. Food for thought.

I saved and I saw that time had stopped when I entered the menu, kind of makes sense, otherwise Toriel would have asked me what I was doing there staring into space.

I went up the stairs and the next room looked exactly like I remembered, albeit not pixelated.

"Welcome to your new home, innocent one." Toriel said in a soothing voice.

"Allows me to educate you in the operation of the RUINS"

Before she had any time time to solve the puzzle herself, I already did. I didn't need help for these noobie puzzles, goat ready Toriel!

"Well aren't you a smart one! The ruins are full of puzzles, ancient fusion between diversions and doorkeys. I wonder how many you can solve by yourself? Though, don't try to solve a puzzle without my authorization young one, you might get hurt."

We moved on to the next room,solved the puzzle ect… the rest of the Tutoriel was basically the same.

At the dummy "fight", it showed me how the battle system worked, basically I have the fight act items and mercy options floating right in front of me, if I select one of them, it basically lets me do what I want as long as it's kind of the actions I said. For exemple, when I selected talk, I could say anything but couldn't attack or move much in general.

Anyways like I said, I couldn't do anything else that wasn't cannon because of Toriel guiding me.

That changed when she finally left me alone because she forgot her pie! I finally could whatever the hell I wanted. It really felt liberating. Toriel is nice but she didn't allow for freedom in her tutorial.

This is so exciting! The game was limited by the fact that it was a game, but now that it was real life there was unlimited possibilites! Endless inter- Wait, i'm starting to sound a bit floweyry, bad idea. Let's put one rule. The least amount of resets possible. And once on the surface, no resets at ALL. I won't let myself become a megalomaniac. Curiosity killed the cat after all. Maybe if someone dies. Maybe then i'll reset.

Though, i'll have to try some fan theories. By the way, i've watched a around 3 hours long theory by Captain Hype on Gaster. (AN: It's in french but this theory is awesome, go watch it if you understand french.) In the end they theorized that the player was Gaster, with evidence. I wonder who would be Gaster in this case? Is there someone watching my every movements that's not Chara? Let's not go too deep down the rabbit hole.

Anyw-

Ring…

Ah I almost forgot about that. I answer and i'm greeted with the friendly voice of Toriel.

"Hello? This is Toriel. You have not left the room Have you?"

"Yes I have actually, it was kind of boring In there."

"Go back there immediately! The ruins are dangerous for a Human, and there are puzzles I have yet to explain."

"I can take care of myself mom" I said in a mocking tone, though Toriel didn't register it as such.

"Huh? Did you just call me 'Mom'? Well… I suppose… Would that make you happy? Would you like to call me 'Mother' ?"

I didn't really feel comfortable calling her mom, but I know it would make her feel better and I couldn't let myself say no.

"Sure!" I respond

"Well… see you later."

And that's it for this chapter! I prefer writing bite sized chapters because as I write them, I can't help but be excited for people to read it and I can't bring myself to do them too big. I'll see you next time!
