Scrubbing Out the Stains

Chapter 4

Brim sunk into his bean bag and groaned.

After dealing with that SwapFell AU and a bunch of other smaller AUs, Brim was ready to call for a week-long break. Sure, he got a good amount of experience from it, but man was it tiring.

Their back ached from making the multiverse a better place. Figuratively carrying the multiverse on his back.

Brim leisurely looked at the multiverse from the Void. With the amount of work they've done, they've only made a small dent in freeing up the storage space of the place. And based on the fact that they are already so exhausted from just doing what they did, then it would appear that this job would take thousands of years.

He weakly slapped his bean bag out of righteous anger. Sometimes they regret being born.

You know what, he needs some luck for the bullshit he is going to face in the future. He's going to resort to some divine aid for the garbage dump he's going to enter into. The big guns.

Brim struggled to get up from his infinitely comfy bean bag and opened a portal to ReaperTale. To the Goddess of Fortune he goes.

While making the trek to the shrine, the path was heavily forested. It was dark and he could only get a hazy view of the various plants that obscured the path. He also saw multiple clusters of mushrooms.

It was like that cube game that Brim spied on a few times of those humans playing it. Seemed full of possibilities, Brim would try to make a computer in the Void to try their hand at it.

As Brim walked up the stairs he could see the glittering shrine of the Goddess of Fortune. Spiderwebs surrounded the shrine and the shadows of the trees shied away from it. It was highly decorated with gold ornaments, chains, beads, feathers, and other materials. It was a testament of the god's abundant wealth.

Brim spotted the row of cushions in front of the shrine and made a beeline towards them. Criss cross applesauce and now they were praying to the Goddess of Fortune.

Dear Goddess of Fortune,

Hey, it's me Brim. I've recently been born into the world and I've realized how hard it's been just living in this multiverse. Anyhow, I'm here to ask for some good luck in my endeavors. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

Sincerely, Bri-

Slash.

Brim felt his body lurch forward, the shrine being nicked, and his neck feeling cold.

Wha-

Their thoughts were interrupted as the spear stabbed at them.

Brim redirected the spear away and leaped back.

With a shock of red, it was Undyne, Goddess of War.

Brim felt his bones ache with a sudden flood of panicked magic pouring over his body. Unable to even be given a pause, Undyne launched her assault again, forcing Brim to adjust to the onslaught.

"Hold on! Why are you attacking me?!?"

They faintly heard a scoff from the goddess.

"Just hold still you Void creature!"

Brim jumped above a stab of her spear. The tip made contact with the ground and caused a small crater.

"But I'm just a little guy! just a little dude! I'M LITERALLY A WEEK OLD!!?!"

Brim shouted in a frenzy, his skull throbbing at his first ever violent confrontation with another being. As he dodged he could see the ground gradually being destroyed by the Goddess of War's power.
