Chapter 2 - [01] The dual monarchy

A week passed since I first got transported to this world, there I learned quite a few things. First of all, this is a post-pacifist timeline of Undertale and most importantly Frisk exists, actually she's the monster's ambassador and a really famous person, she goes by the name Frisk Dreemurr.

Also, Asriel is said to be very sick, that's why there aren't any photos of him. At this point Asriel is probably still Flowey, that made me wonder if they were going to reveal that soon or this dilemma was something else altogether. 

Weirdly, the human kingdom accepted monsterkind pretty easily and established a united nation called dual monarchy. But still, their populations are still separated in each kingdom as both sides are wary of the other.

This world's geography also amazed me, the world's population is approximately 10 million, 15% being monsters. The planet's size was approximately a continent and thanks to the small population there was a beautiful landscape anywhere.

This world wasn't Undertale, I'd say it's pretty similar but there are differences. That made me hope that no one had timeline warping powers, but by seeing how everything is similar to the original game, it assures me that Frisk has the control of the timeline.

That made things difficult, if Frisk was a person born in this world and attached to it, I would just have to keep a watch on what she's doing. But if a player from a world similar to mine is controlling her, then no matter what..

'I'll eradicate them from this world'.

But still, dealing with a time traveler is too hard. By the time I met her, she could know everything about me, even that I'm from another world, or just meet me for the first time.

"Aaagghh!, What can I do".

Jumping from my bed I decided to head outside. I was currently residing on an orphanage on Queen's Lair, the second capital of monsterkind apart from Newest Home (Asgore still sucks at naming things).

While walking I could see all types of monsters, they would normally take a glance at me because I was similar to Asriel. Also, a lot of humans were there sightseeing, after all, humans weren't able to use magic because of the absence of monster's and now that they're back, they want to see it all.

While walking I thought about Undertale's characters. Toriel and Asgore were busy ruling the kingdom and they were officially divorced. A pair of skele-bros were running a café. The anime nerd was making a name for herself in the science world. Undyne was establishing herself one of the strongest fighters in the world. Mettaton was more famous than ever, Muffet luckily wasn't eating humans or making them ingredients, Grillby funded Grillby's 2.

Everyone was progressing, everyone was advancing, than was what made me fearful. What if the world was already reset hundreds, no, thousands of times? What if Frisk was trying to create a perfect ending and endlessly reseting? What if this was a failed pacifist world and Chara suddently started killing everyone?

I was still walking, it was starting to get cold outside. Once in a while I did something to no avail.

I developed this ability when I first arrived at this world, but for some reason I couldn't use it on anyone. While walking, I passed by some glass, making me able to see my own reflection.

Well, I could use it on someone.

I sighed, the It's 'you' comment makes me debate my own existence, but I can't do anything about it, can I?

I still have time, unlike Sans I know who the anomaly is, and I have already thought of ways to combat it. 

Plan A = Wait until I have a failproof plan to deal with her without any casualties.

Plan B= Somehow use the dt extractor from the true lab.

Plan C= Find some way to overpower her and take control of the timeline (Everything is included except becoming dust Zen).

Plan D= Inject myself with dt and have faith.

Plan D= Get along and trust her.

Plan E= Somehow Absorb 7 human souls and become God.

The last one is practically impossible as unlike the souls used to break the barrier, normal human souls didn't have any trait and absorbing them wouldn't really make you powerful. To become God, you would need 7 human souls, each one of a different trait and on top of that maintain control.

After all, Omega flowey was defeated by his own power. 

I could already tell that my life wouldn't be an easy one, honestly, after considering everything for a week I thought about giving up. I think that's what Sans feels knowing that a Time warping child could destroy the world at any moment. But still, I really wanted a happy ending so I couldn't just give up like that.

While returning to the orphanage a human wearing black robes approached me. They were the same stature as me and they looked quite young, but thanks to the robes I couldn't recognize their gender.

"Zen".

I slightly flinched when the stranger said my name, a slight tension could be felt on the atmosphere.

"This message is from my master:

Zen, you need to become stronger. The future holds too many dangers, and I believe you're the key to save this world, in one of my visions I was presented with a sentence that only you could understand. Beware of the man who speaks in hands.

Farewell, Zen."

"Who are you". My tone was more serious than ever.

"I am but a humble disciple of humanity's greatest prophet Zen, I must add that I cannot wait to meet you not as a stranger, but as a friend".

Their androgynous seemed exited and that the words were genuine.

"Well then, tell your master that I appreciate the information".

With that I turned my back without and started to leave.

"Wait! we could talk a little more, bond together and all that, you can't just leave".

 I could hear the stranger's voice, but I couldn't care less about that.

'F*ck! f*ck! f*ck! f****ck!!'.

 While walking away I could feel my body trembling and sweat marks running across my face. I didn't think of this possibility, no, I choose to not think about this.

I could somewhat do something about Frisk, but Gaster, I didn't even know who he really was. I'm so fucked. The only thing that's left is for error Sans to suddently appear on my world!

That day I got 2 hours of sleep.

|Imagine Zen's life as Sisyphus pushing a boulder, anyways, what song do you guys recommend putting on this chapter? |
