Authors notes: UnderTale is owned by Toby Fox. The only Character I own is the Main Character OC I made for this story. This is a work of fiction any character/s that may seem based on someone or something you own is a coincidence. Also while in most of my AUs Frisk and Chara are hermaphrodites but in this one I decided to make them female.

Prologue:
I always thought to myself what if I was someone else? Who would I end up being, someone rich, someone poor, someone nice or evil, or maybe someone that really... didn't want to live anymore? You always hear about travelers to other worlds in media. Movies, comics, books, etc., but no one really thinks that could happen right? It's a cliché used in the escapist genre, someone dies or is summoned to another world from there own by mysterious forces beyond imagination. It's a fantastical dream used by somewhat lazy writers to convey wonderment, now that's not to say it can't be used in amazing ways though it's hard to use it just right. Myself I've always wanted to visit another world outside my dreams and because of this video games were always a big draw for me. I think my favorite part of video games is creating your own character, a form to act as a medium to travel that world to experience that world through fresh eyes.
I would always end up taking a few hours to make my character just the way I wanted, then a few more to come up with a good name. I never understood the pure joy I felt making a character, I just knew it was my favorite part for a reason. I find it a bit funny but I think my favorite game of all time is the Sims. A game so close to everyday life yet perfect to escape it. You can become another person someone that's just like you, or as far away from you as possible I found that so inviting. I was honestly never a fan of UnderTale as a game, even after playing it on my friend's account with him though the neutral run. It was simplistic, and the only appeal was the three routes you could take in game. So it confused me when I started dreaming I was Sans, and I'd go though his routine perfectly. Though I didn't know that till i saw the genocide game-play. I decided to give it another chance, and started playing it again from the very beginning on another account, my personal one instead of my friend's this time.
Chapter One: A fresh time line a fresh start.
It took a bit of time to download the game to my less than great computer. Almost a day in fact, but I didn't let that get to me I decided to look up the UT fandom to kill time. I looked through thinking how could this game get such a huge fan base, and all the AUs some of which had fan-games made of them. I was a bit awestruck by it thinking to myself to bad there's no custom character creation in this game, I'd hop on the fan train myself. I wandered around the fandom for a bit and went to bed around 1 am thinking to myself maybe I gave up on the game to soon. As I lay down I quickly fell asleep not used to staying up so late after my gaming hiatus and being awake normal hours of the day.
I had a weird dream that night probably due to looking up so much stuff and my mindset. At first I was Sans I was in Judgement Hall fighting the main character and doing a bit or trolling by changing up patterns by using inverted controls randomly. Reset after reset they kept coming back I remember saying "well then I guess that's the look of someone who's died 90 times. I know your type a gamer right? Pretty soon you'll rage quit I wonder if I can get you to punch out your screen like that LoL meme." After about a hundred tries they seemed to give up and I woke up, or so I thought. I went into the kitchen to make some coffee and fell through the floor into a dark pit of nothingness.
As I kept falling the light from the kitchen vanishing from view. I couldn't see anymore no light, no sound, just falling, and falling into the purest dark I had even seen. I thought okay I'll wake up any moment now, ... now, ... okay now, but I didn't I just kept falling. Eventually I started yelling out into the darkness shouting out hello and is anyone here. After what felt like an hour of that I stop and heard something weird. [But no body came] I thought to myself why does that sound familiar what is it? Then it hit me, it was from UnderTale. I called again but louder this time only once, and again I heard [But nobody came] Then again, over, and over until.. [Somebody came, another lost traveler] I heard this strange garbled speech. It was creepy, though I couldn't see the person making the sound through the vast darkness. I didn't understand the language though I knew what he said, almost like he was talking to my mind itself.
"A hacker, what do you mean? Also I'm not really a child I'm, wait who are you? I didn't catch that sorry. What do you mean do that here?" With that a character creation screen popped up in front of me, I was shocked and the light hurt my eyes so bad I couldn't see the mans face. Giving me a motion to go ahead, I started making a character. First age I usually went with my real age, but I couldn't it didn't go that far down. So I went as old as I could age 11. Next gender looking through it I saw boy, girl, neither, either, both, gender fluid. Confused I asked the difference between both and gender fluid, one was both at once the other changed your gender with your mood. So I choose gender fluid being able to change gender nearly at will seemed cool.
