What if there was an anomaly in the Underground? No, not Frisk. Not Chara either. Someone else entirely. How could a few measly children stand to this supposedly immortal foe and save the Underground from destruction? Is it even possible to do so? Only one way to tell...
~o0o~
Disclaimers before you start!
•There is NO fanon ships. That means no Soriel, Papyton, etc. The only ships are Torgore (in the past) and Alphyne.
•This is NOT an x reader. I heavily dislike those types of stories. The reader will have no part in this.
•This exists outside of canon to an extreme. For example, Frisk is the second human and not the eighth.
•There will be OCs, but only for a few humans and they still technically exist in normal Undertale.
•There is a sequel. I'm planning on rewriting it after this one, as it is much more random and definitely needs it. Clanky, plot holes/retconning, etc. It's more of an OC thing, to explore them and their issues, than an Undertale thing, but it has its similarities.
•There will be some explicitives. It won't be unnecessary or excessive, only when it fits the situation and character. I will not be using any slurs, as that's just plain disrespectful, even if some of them apply to me.
Credits: Undertale, obviously, created by Toby Fox and Temmie Chang. "The Time Before" by ANinnyMouse42 is the backstory for Sans in this AU with some adjustments (mainly since that was very close to my original idea before I read it and I don't want people to think I copied their masterpiece or smth, if you haven't read it please do so, it's really good). Some things will be in reference to the other books in the trilogy or "From War to Science" by Emotistic-optimistic. If you haven't, read that too. It's really good (along with its sequel).
The cover was made by me!
Have a good day!
(Also, the title is a placeholder, if anyone has any ideas that make more sense, please let me know. I do have some ideas, which are going to be mentioned at the A/N of C
Sans has had an interesting past. A past that even his beloved brother barely even knows of. A past that, despite being so long ago, always finds a way to bite back. A past that defines who he is - but he longs to erase. A past that doesn't let go, it clings to him despite his endless attempts to escape. And when someone finally attempts to uncover the veil, and fails in the process, what happens next?
This book is a complete remake of the original Undertale: Secrets that was made nearly 3 years ago. By remake, I mean that this book takes the general plot of Secrets and basically "tries again". This will reuse elements of the original and cut out the parts I don't like while adding my own new ideas, effectively creating a new book. Whether you liked the original or didn't even read it, I hope you like this!!
