Storytelling

... It appears I need to put a "bruh, explanation please" chapter, which involves a lot of storytelling and spoilers to the game Undertale.
Welp, it appears that I actually uploaded *checks fanfic* what appears to be a chapter that probably has nothing to do with the plot, though it probably does depending on how you look at it. Personally, I think it has something to do with the plot, since it had some... I don't know, knowledge to the whole "Flowey is here" backstory.
Anyway, this chapter is, I guess, a story of how I got the idea to tell such story, beginning to the day Undertale was released all the way to the idea of this story, starting on, well, the day it was published.
This chapter might also explain a little about the small universe of ErrOR - ReAL WoRLd and a little backstory to each human character, all OCs, of course, which I think might need a little explanation, due to the fact that some OCs might get a little OOC a couple chapters in.
Oh, and clarifications:
1) LOL, I have none, for this is a filler chapter :P
I hope this might explain some of your doubts and questions that risen from that brain of yours, and enjoy.
"Oh, before I start, I do not own Undertale or the AUs. Toby Fox and the others own them. There will be MAJOR spoilers to the Pacifist route. Skip this if you haven't watched or played Undertale. You are warned. There is references to several things not Undertale and I don't own those references. Enjoy"

Long ago
there was peace
They all lived happily
Cherishing every
breath
in many times
well spent
It was a very long time ago, a time even your great great-grandparents weren't born into, that monsters and humans got along in harmony. Nowadays, it's all myth and fairy tales that we hear this legend from, according to our parents, who, as kids before us, believed in such stories.
Monsters and humans, co-existing together like family.
Suddenly
things went wrong
they could not get along
Darker days
loomed ahead
their stomachs filled
with dread
It could've been anything. A fight to the death that the humans or monsters did not authorize, a homicide of a family from either two races, the ongoing racial dispute between races. Whatever it was, it encited a war between the two races, humans armed with weapons, monsters armed with their unique magic.
Common sense forgotten
It was friend against friend
So the war ends sadly
Humans showed no
MERCY
The war, in everyone's opinion, was really short, probably one or two years was the accurate span of the Great War, as some historians of both parties named. In the end, humans had won, monsters exiled under a mountain, the seven greatest mages sealing them all under, never to roam the Surface again for all eternity. The seven mages made sure of that, saying that the only way to break this seal is to acquire a human SOUL and a monster SOUL.
Or seven human SOULS and one monster SOUL if you want to break the seal all together.
Monsters forced
Underground
so our tale
begins now
Child of the world
above
could learn just how
to love
Frisk hated everyone in the orphanage, seeing that the older children poke fun at them for not speaking and, well, being binary. At heart, they are a nice person, letting the jokes and jeers fly over their head, which just made the bullies do more, harassing them with more jeers and jokes, along with a few crude jokes on the side. The staff at the orphanage didn't know better and Frisk decided, for the better good for their own sake, commit suicide.
There's not like there's someone that'll remember them when they fall down, dead. They find out that Mt. Ebott had a gaping pit that seemed to be bottomless to the naked eye, which makes a perfect place to jump into.
Not that they cared about the legends about the place, anyway. As they climbed the mountain at the dark of night, a bandage on their knee from the scratch they got earlier and a stick they found near the mouth of the mountain, they found the pit from legend, the sounds of the dark night creating music to one's ears who braved to the pit. Frisk, with their final decision, jumped into the inky black darkness.
Where am I?
Did I die?
Looking up
I see the sky
Fate's a bitch sometimes; Frisk had learned that the hard way. Fate's bitchiness also saved the binary kid, as they had awoken in a patch of golden buttercups, unscathed. Surprisingly, they gotten up with ease, like the fall they took was just two inches high instead of twenty miles high. They did another check, seeing that they still have their stick and personal belongings, and looked up, the crescent white moon just above them. Had they died and reawaken as a ghost? They felt the ground and still breathed, which means that they're alive with flesh and blood. They then decided not to dwell on it, and looked around for an exit, which so happens to be an exit at the end of the hall way, pillars of white with a symbol etched at the top making a semi-gate.
Must go on
Journey's long
It's scary
and hard to see
"Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower!"
Had it been interesting enough, Frisk encountered a talking flower.
A talking flower.
'Hmm... you're new to the Underground, aren'tcha?"
The Underground? Frisk had never heard of such place. Maybe, the monsters of myth are real, that they had been sealed under this very mountain, the mountain that overlooked Ebott City in its glory, and the Underground is their home.
"Golly, you must be so confused. Someone 'ought to teach you how things work around here!"
Frisk prayed it's not this thing, since they could feel a weird vibe coming off of it.
"I guess little old me will have to do."
The whole place went dark and Frisk found themselves in a black box with a white outline, the flower, Flowey, hovering just above. A vibrant red SOUL shimmered in front of the child, who jumped at the sight.
"See that heart?"
Frisk nodded, wondering what a heart is doing out in the open.
"That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!"
A SOUL? Frisk is now curious. Why is their SOUL red? Why is their SOUL a heart? So many questions, so little answers.
"Your SOUL starts out weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV."
LV? Frisk silently signed 'You mean level?' to the flower, which was ignored. They now wanted to know what this 'LV' stands for.
"What's LV stand for?" Flowey says to Frisk in a tone that sounded forced. "Why, LOVE, of course!"
Oh, love, Frisk thought, sighing in relief.
"You want some LOVE, don't you?"
They nodded, a way of saying yes to other people for them.
"Don't worry, I'll share some with you!"
It winks and five white pellets appear above him. He then says, "Down here, LOVE is shared through..." It pauses. "Little white... 'friendliness pellets."
Frisk then nod, soaking all of the information in their brain.
"Com'n! Get as many as you can!" It then fires it at Frisk, who took one of them. Then...
The flower's face turned into a creepy face with teeth shining through, razor sharp. Frisk looked at the weird bar thing and found that their HP is 1. Is that good?
" ."
Frisk is now officially scared. Why has this flower tricked them? Maybe it's trying to say something, like they'll be others that'll attack them through "friendliness pellets." They took a mental note and prepared for the flower if it would attack again.
"In this world, it's kill or BE killed."
"Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this?"
A bunch of white pellets surround the red heart, making Frisk gasp in horror. The creepy smile went away and the face now had fangs on the side.
"DIE."
The plant laughed while the pellets inched closer to the heart, Frisk panicking. As it was an inch away, it vanish, making the flower look down. A white flame appeared at the right, and as the plant looked, it got shot away.
Toriel
It's farewell
With this tune
I'll see you soon
"I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins."
Frisk had came to know that other people like her had fallen into the Underground, which made them a lot more relieved than scared. Now, they wondered as they followed the goat monster, where are they, anyway?
It wasn't long before Toriel had to attend to some business and left the child alone in the Ruins, giving them a cell phone before hurriedly taking off. A curious child at nature, Frisk decides to walk around the Ruins, encountering Froggits that were flattered by them, slimy Moldsmals, and a ghost by the name of Nabstablook. During the whole way, Frisk never fought anyone, for the Froggit near the glowing star she had came to name as a SAVE point said to have mercy. After getting to Toriel's house, they were greeted to a cinnamon-butterscotch pie, baked by Toriel. After exploring around the house, Frisk asked the goat monster if they could go home, not that it matters when it came to going home.
"... I must do something. Wait here, my child."
Toriel got up from her seat and left, leaving a very confused Frisk in her wake. What did she have to do, Frisk pondered as she then found themselves back at the main hallway, the staircase leading to the basement seemingly the only exit. As they went down, the encounter Toriel and the exit to the Ruins, Toriel being there to destroy it. After dodging her fire attacks and hugging her, Frisk marched right through the gates, a sad Toriel left behind.
Don't worry, Goat Mum, Frisk thought at the door boomed shut. I'll be back.
Seeing that Frisk will, eventually, see Toriel again, filled them with DETERMINATION.
Determination to free all of the monsters that stayed under for so long.
I'll always be determined.
Crunching snow
Moving slow
Skeletons
Become my friends
The vast white snow made Frisk shiver a bit as they marched forward, determination written all over their face. Nothing, they thought as they met up with a big-boned skeleton by the name of Sans, will get in their way, as they quickly made friends in the jolly tall skeleton known as Papyrus, Sans' younger brother. They walked into town, which was called Snowdin Town. There, they made a bunch of friends, the friends not knowingly seeing Frisk as a human, since Toriel stated that it has been a long time since a human fell down.
Tasty treats
all too sweet
Rain drops fall
Rocks shine on walls
Seeing Waterfall made Frisk want to look up at the ceiling of the cave, gems glistening from the light from an unknown source. Well they were having a good time, until they encountered the Captain of the Royal Guard, Undyne. After running away from her, they found out that Papyrus wanted to join the ranks of the Guards, and brought Frisk to Undyne's house for private training. Frisk then made friends with the fish monster, then headed towards Hotland.
Keep on straight
It's my fate
Hum and flex
and show respect
Mettaton could be labeled as a star by human celebrity standards if it weren't for the fact that in her first form, she's a box on one wheel while on the other, she's a humanoid robot. Not only that, but the whole game show with Alphys in her Lab in Hotland proved otherwise, seeing the star as one of those "oh, those type of friends that look for answers rather than ask questions." In the end, Frisk was able to leave the Hotel the child forgot the name to, and went into the CORE, the large building that converts Hotland's surroundings into electricity that is being used around the Underground.
Dodge attacks
Don't look back
Show MERCY
Do it proudly
Frisk found out that the king of monsters, King Asgore, was waiting for them, explaining about breaking the Barrier with seven SOULS, Frisk being the last SOUL needed to break said seal. After a hard, and heartbreaking, battle, Toriel appears, along with the gang and started to talk amongst themselves.
I'll always be
determined
Flowey then comes into the picture, capturing the monsters and boasting about having the other SOULS on him. He then becomes Asriel Dreemurr, the late Prince of Monsters, who then battles Frisk using the Lost Souls. They had so little determination at this point in the battle, but, as they stare at the HP in front of them, they realized that... they can SAVE something else.
I've fallen down
into a strange
wonderland
It will turn out if I
stay true to who I am
It's all odd
I don't know if I will survive
But there's no doubt if I give up
so
Let's try!
Frisk remembered back to the times before this, from the funny puns and jokes Sans pulled off to the smell of cinnamon-butterscotch pie Toriel baked, the animes Alphys owned, Undyne's brash behavior, Papyrus' happy and cheerful demeanor, and Asgore being called "King Fluffybuns" by Undyne. Remembering about all of their friends and their hopes and dreams of making to the Surface just to feel the sunshine...
Filled them with the DETERMINATION to SAVE everyone.
And I got heart
I am smart
I am weak
This path's not bleak
What's to fear
when they're near
They're so nice
I'll never fight
No one isn't perfect, even when Frisk went through countless runs, RESETS if you will, just to save this one SOUL from being turned into a SOULess being once more. They even went through a Genocide route just to awaken the Demon, despite the efforts by their friends to stop the madness. In the end, it paid off, that one run where Sans gave them the key to his room only for them to get pranked by said skeleton.
Even if the madness made them insane, they were determined to save, even if it meant killing them.
My ears ring
My feet sting
That's okay
It will not stay
I'll smile
All while
Thinking of
jokes they made up
Frisk has been through hardships that almost left them physically and, usually, emotionally drained. They, however, didn't show it through in case their friends might think of them as a burden, which would've made them completely useless. Even through the Neutral, that one route where they accidentally killed someone or killed one of the main guys, Flowey's... uh, other form was just as hard as fighting Undyne in Pacifist, especially since he used the six SOULS that been here before them.
After a while, it gets harder, especially when it came to Sans.
But, they don't have to worry about that now, since they finally broke the Barrier, with Asriel's help, the deed proven with the gang looking at a beautiful sunset...
I'll always be determined
A sunset that signified freedom day for the monsters of Underground.
Wasn't that long ago
A human one day showed
Made all these fantastic friends
Undyne, Alphys,
and Sans
Papyrus made
them a meal
It had zero appeal
still they laughed and ate during
The gorgeous sun
setting
Toriel looked at the sky
and then began to cry
How could they have never known
This was part of their home?
Yellow flowers
Changing leaves
It all felt like a dream
Underground soon
disappeared
They said
"Let's live here!"
Being an ambassador, especially for the monsters, is hard for a 10 year-old like Frisk. The first thing they did once they got out was go back to the orphanage they came from, followed by Sans and Paps, of course. They knew that there was a staff member who believed in such legends, and Frisk decides to make their day by dropping by and saying hello with the King of Monsters in tow.
And they smiled when that staff member opened the door to see King FluffyBuns, smiling with a grin, their face lighting up in admiration.
Asriel
Hope you're well
I'll always be determined
Flowey too
I never knew
I'll always be determined
Please don't cry
because I
I'll always be
determined
Am not done
Let's learn to love
I'll always be
determined
They made a promise for Asriel. They won't forget about him. Since the Prince of Monsters knew he'll become a flower since he doesn't have a SOUL, he told them to forget him.
That's not happening. Period.
Flowey, apparently, hated the "you are now stuck in the pot" scenario, but Frisk wouldn't budge, no matter what. In the end, Flowey was taken to the Surface, where the truth about him was revealed.
Long battles
Fighting and war
It was not anymore
Thanks to them
who loved a lot
Climbing up Mt. Ebott
There were tears
and there was pain
driven almost insane
It's alright
They beat the test
"It... it can't be...!"
"... U-Uh, Your M-Majesty, it's true."
"... No shit, Sherlock."
"... Our son...?"
Everyone was just as baffled as the King and the Ex-Queen of the Underground. All except Alphys and Frisk, who stood there, looking sullenly at the reactions.
"... Y-Your s-s-son's dust was o-o-on this f-flower when I-I-I injected D-D-DERMINATION into i-it."
That statement was all everyone needed to know.
At least, they can now live with the fact that Flowey is Asriel in some form, despite having no SOUL.
It's still Asriel no matter what.
Let's hope they don't
RESET
RESETS were no more.
At least, that's what Frisk keeps telling themselves.
Those events above was a month prior to the ErrOR - ReAL WoRLd events, which has it's own story as well.
That story just so happens to be the day Undertale came out, on September 15th, 2015.
Kristina wanted to know what the hell is a "Sans" and why this is a skeleton from some game called Undertale.
"Guys," the teen muttered, her brown eyes on a shading of Markiplier, "what the hell are you all talking about?"
"Kristina?" Mika says, looking at the teen with wide eyes. "You haven't heard of Undertale?!"
Basically, I found out about Undertale through my friends during Art class, I think somewhere around January, where the hype for Undertale is going strong. Mika and Gabby (yes, IRL friends) were talking about it, and I wanted to know more about this "Sans" and what's his story. At the time, I was a Smash fan, maining Dedede for half of the brawls on said game.
I didn't know what to expect when I looked it up on my phone during class that day.
"You have your phone, right?" Mika says, pointing at Kristina's purple phone, which was on the table, face down. "Look it up!"
Kristina went for her phone, unlocking it and going on Google. As she typed it down and pressed ENTER, she then pressed IMAGES, since she didn't care about the websites. Then...
"... Wut de fook iz dis?"
And so begins the adventure I'm about to have with Undertale! At least, that's what I thought. I had my friends, who would be saying a bunch of Undertale stuff, showing drawings of Sans, Undyne, and the like. I also did a little research of my own, looking up a bunch of pics of Undertale, mainly Sans and Paps, who I just realized seen somewhere before.
Yep, the Undertale fandom just sucked me up. Dammit.
I watched Jack play the series, laughing occasionally due to his voice acting. I see people draw it on Youtube, Deviantart; hell, I even looked up fanfics on Undertale.
Then, Gabby starts talking about Underfell.
"Je suis intelligente," Kristina said in French, confidence brimming her voice. "J'aime dessiner et lire."
"Bravo!" the French teacher exclaimed, clapping her hands. "That was good, Kristina! Very good!"
As Kristina sighed in relief, Gabby looked at her, poking her with her pencil.
"Hey, Kristina; Kyle took Blueberry away from me."
"Are you kidding me? Where is he?"
The AUs had always been an interest to me, especially stories where the AUs are clashed together, like this story and another, The Ultimate Anomaly by The Garbage Goddess, the latter being the inspiration for this one. My friends were also the inspiration for this as well.
Originally, it was a reader-insert, which I'm not good at, then it became this, starting when Flowey appears in 01. I also planned the "Void Meeting" at the beginning, but for me, it didn't fit there, so it was placed in 03, during the whole "Flowey vs. Kristina: Verbal Version" fight.
Although this story was suppose to be a reader-insert, it involved character death too early, which was scrapped. Another one was that it started during the Omega Flowey fight, with the Sanses of Realistimalinea being the six SOULS Flowey had.
That, too, was scrapped, since it introduces them all too early, which I didn't want.
10th grade was fun, they said. It was great to be a sophomore, they said.
"This is not fun," Kristina grumbled, sitting on the counter of Chira's parents' floral shop, where said teen was busy putting a few flowers on the counter. "Why must I work here?!"
"'Cause, your mom kicked you out, and you had no where to go."
Kristina glared at her, then started to play with a small bone she made. "Well, how the hell am I suppose to do this I have no sense in botany?"
"... You are the clerk; you don't need botany to work at the register."
The door to the store rang and a teen with bandages on his left eye came in, his abnormal white hair dull despite the light coming from the window.
"Jason?" Kristina says, looking at the teen. "What'cha doing here?"
The teen shrugged. "Dunno. How about you? Heard you were kicked out." His one red eye stared through her soul, making the teenage girl shiver. "What happened? Was your mum a bitch?"
Kristina nodded. "Yeah, Okumura; of course."
Okumura was Jason's nickname, since Okumura is half demon, half human, which fits perfectly with Jason, those red eyes killing anything it looked at. "Hate to break it to you, but have you heard?"
"Heard what?" Chira asked, now interested.
"I'm moving back to my hometown by tonight."
The two girls stared at him, shocked. Kristina then shook her head.
"Nuh-uh! You ain't leaving, Rin Okumura!" Kristina proclaimed, banging her fists on the table.
"My folks back at town might be edgy as fuck when I come back." He then looked at Chira. "I don't want to lose another eye, man."
"True," Chira muttered. "Well, go then. Get there before sunset; easier to evade them."
"'Kay," he said, going to the door. looking back, he said, "Hope this floral shop grows with blossoms." A shit-eating grin was on his face before teleporting out of there.
"... I wanna see him again," Kristina flatly said, determination on her face.
"Of course, you do."
It took a while before I accepted the other AUs besides the ones present right now, since someone gave me the perfect idea for the Multiverse collapsing while Error's in Realistimalinea. One of the AUs, which plays a HUGE part in this story, was mentioned above. The AU name, however, is for me to know and for you to find out.
If you can guess this correctly, I will so something with you... maybe a character in the story, or a friend of the other Sanses of Realistimalinea? Dunno, but it won't happen unless you guess the name.
The AU mentioned above was the one that I planned with this story, seeing how it fits in and how it'll affect the story. This one was a winning one, so here it is.
That isn't all. If we have Error, then we have Ink.
But, where is he?
My sister beta read this before y'all and she just found where Ink is at, which means he's already in the story. It's a matter of reading to find him.
I won't be giving out his whereabouts nor how he ended up where he's at, but it will be revealed somewhere in the story.
Right now, just figure out where's Ink.
"So," John mumbled, looking at Flowey, who was playing Pokémon White on his 3DS, "What's you're Pokémon?"
"I have a Serperior and a Reshiram. I also have a Riolu that's about to evolve, an Audino, and Da Vinci."
"... Da Vinci?"
"My Herdier."
John sighed and looked up, where the stars shined along with countless others. Since his sister and dad are out of town, he's alone with Flowey for the moment, his grandma cleaning whatever shit they left behind.
"Hey," Flowey said, putting the DS in front of John's face. "Wanna play?" John faced Flowey, who had his signature smile planted on his face. "Don't worry; I already saved, so you can't do shit."
John chuckled and took the device off of the blonde's hands and started to walk around the city.
"So, you like it over here?" John asked, getting into a battle.
"Here?" Flowey asked, looking at John. "You mean... here?"
"... Yeah?"
"... Not sure. I mean," Flowey started, pausing. "it's all... right?" John noticed he sounded confused. "Well, it is all right. It's just the same without monsters, you know."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah. Ireland's a real place over there." Flowey then looked up. "...Had you ever wondered if you're not alone in this universe?"
John looked up from the 3DS. "... Kristina's rantings made me think."
"John, that's dangerous."
"And I know! She's literally into space or something at the moment." John sighed. "You know, maybe we humans aren't alone in this universe; you guys are proof," he stated.
ErrOR - ReAL WoRLd starts on Friday, November 12, 2016, which is a couple months away. I intend this because of one of the short para-fics, 10th grade for Chira and Kristina starts in 2016, a year after Undertale came out.
That makes the setting in autumn, like the Ruins.
Wow, I didn't know I just did that.
Frisk sat on a computer, Google's home page in view. Alphys, standing next to them, is writing down a few things in the pad with a pen.
"What should I look up?" Frisk asked, looking at the yellow reptilian, who flinched at the question.
"Well, u-uh..." Alphys muttered, putting the pen down. "How about 'United States'?"
Frisk nods and types in the keyword in the search, the map of the world highlighting the landmass in North America. Alphys took a note with the pad, and Frisk went to clicked the highlighted landmass, going into StreetView.
"Type in the address here," Alphys instructed, showing the pad to Frisk, an address underlined in the middle. "That might give us some answers."
"... Alphys," Frisk stated. "That's Rin Okumura."
Alphys looked at the pad, then scratched out the drawing of the Spawn of Satan and underlined the real address, Frisk reading the words and typing the address into the search box.
There is a reason why there are small ficlets between the underlined text. I wanted to do a short story as to what's happened before and between the chapters so that it could explain a little bit about the plot.
As far as I'm concerned, I think I just made you a bit confused, especially the one with the teen named Jason. This happened a month before the beginning of Chapter 01, which is the reason why Jason doesn't appear until now, but it was before Chapter 01.
I think I just confused you even more, huh?
The wedding was suppose to be a lovely event, with music and laughter and a kiss and ring to seal the knot. It was meant to be a happy moment.
"... I can't believe you and I are really soulmates," a young girl murmured. "But you're just doing this just to protect me, right?"
A man looked back at his newly wedded wife, his hand intertwined around the girl's hand. "I know. It's weird, but it's custom here."
"Custom?" the girl asked, looking rather incredulous at her husband. "Does everyone do it here?"
The man pondered for a minute and shook his head. "Not really. Unless you are real serious about keeping your mate, you better do the ritual so no can lay a finger on them." He then winked. "It's better safe than sorry."
The girl nodded in understandment. She then lied down on the soft aqua green grass, still holding the man's hand. Closing her brown eyes, she sighed deeply, the man imitating her, his hand still intertwined with hers.
They stayed like that for hours, just looking at the fake stars that were gems twinkling in the shallow light given off by the water from the pools nearby. At least for the both of them, it's a happy moment.
I might add in OCs from other people, like you guys. If you have an OC that is either human or monster, submit it, and I'll see where they end up at.
I think the lucky ones might be in the next arc.
I'm not entirely sure if I'm in the idea or not. Why not tell me if it's a good idea or not? It won't hurt to at least try.
Error could laugh all day if he wanted to. I mean, laugh, as in literally laugh his ass off until the end of time.
He has taken control of a king. A fucking king.
Man, he is so fuckin' special.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" the kid with black hair and bright blue eyes exclaimed, a large golden yellow mallet in his hands. "Leave him alone!"
"WhAt ArE yOu TaLkInG aBoUt?" Error asked, blue strings tangled in his hands. "ThErE's NoThInG WRONG wItH mE."
The golden hammer already went for his side, making Error tilt his head a little to dodge it, the kid using the hilt of the mallet to smash into the glitch's ribs, which was missed as well.
"Yeah, FUCK you too!" the kid yelled, flipping Error, a snarl on his face.
"HeH, yOu ReAlLy ARE lOoKiNg FoR a BaD tImE, hUh?"
I don't think I actually cleared some things up, just told a bunch of pointless stories with author notes in between.
Well, damn.
I hope this does it for the fifth chapter of this story as well as a pass on my 3-year anniversary on this site. Comment below and see you on the flip side.
