Chapter 17 - Void

Day 1 in the Void

The Void. Endless darkness. At first, it was suffocating, an abyss that stretched on forever. But then, I realized what this place truly was: potential.

This wasn't just some empty void—it was mine. With effort, with focus, I could shape it into whatever I needed. I started small, creating something familiar: a house, like the one back in Snowdin. It felt… comforting.

But comfort wasn't enough. I wanted more. A massive laboratory for research, a gym to push my limits, and even a spa and sauna to help me recover. It wasn't easy at first, but the Void responded to my will. Slowly, it became my world.

This is my Void now. My domain.

Day 100

The laboratory is complete, but it's more advanced than anything I've ever seen. Gaster's lab was impressive, but this? This is beyond comprehension. I couldn't even begin to use it at first.

Luckily, I had a solution. With the Void's power, I created a guide—a detailed manual written in a language I somehow understood. It took months of studying, but I finally learned how to operate the main computer.

It's incredible. Over 20 screens connected to one system, all synchronized. I can see other worlds, other universes, even places beyond time itself. I've been using it to observe, to study, to gather information.

This isn't just a lab. It's a gateway to everything.

Day 150

The souls.

I've started studying the human souls I collected, the ones trapped in jars. Each one is unique, radiating its own energy, its own memories. I've set objectives for myself, goals to push me further:

Enhance the souls, unlocking their full potential.Understand what it means to truly reach a level beyond.

To make my soul truly become a True Determination soul.

Become the best version of myself, someone even I could look up to.

Make Chara proud. She's been with me through everything. She deserves to see me succeed.

Honor Papyrus's memory. I want him to rest, knowing I've become strong enough to protect myself.

This isn't just about power. It's about growth. About becoming something more.

Day 200

The Void isn't just my sanctuary—it's my foundation. I've pushed myself harder than ever before, training in ways I didn't think were possible. The gym isn't just for my body; it's for my will, my determination. Every session is a challenge, but each time, I feel stronger, sharper.

Chara has been by my side the whole time. She's my anchor, my reason for everything. I want her to see that everything I've done, everything I'm doing, is because of her. She believed in me when no one else did. She kept me going when I thought I couldn't take another step.

She turned my hell into heaven. And I'll make sure she never sees me as anything less than the strongest version of myself.

Day 365

It's been a year since I claimed the Void, and I'm only just beginning.

There's so much out there—worlds to explore, knowledge to uncover, threats to face, and opportunities to seize. Every day, I push myself to go further, to learn more, to become more.

The souls I've collected are my key to unlocking a greater power, but it's not just about them. It's about me. I want to prove to myself, to Chara, and to Papyrus's memory that I'm capable of anything.

I've already been through hell. I've faced it, survived it, and come out stronger. And now, with Chara by my side, I'm ready to face whatever comes next.

I'll make her proud. I'll make myself proud.

This is only the beginning.
