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
Remaster on my page - check it out!
Sans has had an interesting past. A past that even his beloved brother barely even knows of. A past that he wishes could remain a secret. But when the questions start being asked, what does he do? These questions seem so little, yet they cause so much to happen. One little question. "Who is ??????" can change so much. A chain reaction from a single sentence can cause an entire world to crumble. Or maybe two.
This is my first book so dont expect anything great.
