Bab 4: Chapter 4: Undertale is a very heartwarming sweet Game!
I had free time, albeit brief. Enough for this chapter.
---
"Long ago, Two races ruled over the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS..."
The faint sounds of 8-bit retro electronic game style gradually drifted in, signaling the official start of the game. Cioara couldn't help but comment as she gazed at the screen before her: "Honestly, I never really delved into gaming as a child. I didn't expect my first gaming experience to be here, and with such an ancient theme."
"For our era, this music is quite retro, yet combining simple waveforms to create complex melodies also represents the collective wisdom of countless people back then," Elysia remarked, recognizing the musical style. Although retro, the game before them wasn't like those genuine antique games, merely cycling through a short piece of music repeatedly.
"So, are we supposed to play as this human? This reckless little imp? Naming the fallen human... Though I'm not very familiar with the typical gaming process, let's leave a mark... Raven..."
After observing the opening sequence, accompanied by the serene background music, Raven smoothly arrived at the naming interface. Indeed, it's Raven.
The character under Cioara's control awakened amidst a bed of flowers, and Cioara finally grasped why this human imp was unscathed after falling from such heights—there were flowers below to cushion the fall.
"Haha, our protagonist is quite adorable. Why does he wear such an expression?" Elysia couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing the protagonist's first glance, adorned with such a cute and simple design.
"Who knows? Isn't Su like that too?" Cioara teased.
"Hahaha! If Su were to find out, would he be so furious that he opens his eyes wide?"
It's not wise to casually discuss Su; Cioara immediately fell silent and resumed controlling the protagonist.
[Hello there! I'm FLOWEY, FLOWEY the FLOWER.]
"Have we encountered the first cutie?" Elysia stuck close to Cioara, watching the game screen together, causing Cioara to suddenly feel nervous. Sometimes, interacting with people without boundaries always induces nervousness, but as if sensing Cioara's tension, Elysia slightly distanced herself. At the same time, Bronie also flashed a mischievous smile.
"By the way, Klein, can all the Flame Chasers watch this live broadcast?"
"All the Flame Chasers? Yes, indeed, all them can view the screen through Elysia's first-person perspective, although it may be a bit shaky..."
"Can they send bullet comments? I mean in your era..."
"I understand! But that would only increase meaningless workload; most of them actually prefer solitude and may not necessarily utilize such features."
"[I also wish to have such a feature! Broadcasting within the Elysian Realm; that would be quite a novel scene!]"
Bronie saw Elysia sent a message
"Take a look..."
Klein remained silent for a moment.
"Alright, after the live broadcast, we'll have to clean up this feature. The workload in the Elysian Realm... is quite heavy..."
"Sorry! Whenever I have time, I'll make you an ELF to help with your work!"
"Really!?"
"If there are blueprints..."
With Bronie's assurance like this, Klein's invisbible tail wagged even more vigorously.
Meanwhile, the conversation between Cioara and Flowey continued, but they had already entered the battle interface.
[See that heart? That is your soul, the very culmination of your being! Your soul starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. As for what LV stands for? Why LOVE course!]
After seeing Flowey's words, Cioara was slightly stunned, jokingly saying, "Love? I thought it was level. I heard that many games are like that, where you fight monsters to level up, and then become stronger to fight stronger monsters. If only getting stronger in real life were as easy as defeating bad guys again and again~"
"You wouldn't harm such cute little flower right~?" Elysia asked.
"That's hard to say~"
Just as Cioara couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't harm it, after the live broadcast started, the first barrage also appeared.
[Frozen Ice Cubes: ?]
"Who's this? Is it Kevin? Hahaha! This username is quite something! Welcome to Elysia's live broadcast room. What's being broadcasted now is a game brought by a successor! Seeing this cute screen, it must be a very talented person who made this game~"
[Frozen Ice Cubes: People in the Elysian Realm shouldn't know too much about the outside world... And this username wasn't chosen by me.]
"Oh dear~ it's just a game, why are you so sensitive? This is game full of a girl's feelings! You mustn't trample on them easily, and isn't this username quite fitting? I guess it was made by our game developer!"
[Frozen Ice Cubes: @Lazy Tree Lover, what do you think?]
[Lazy Tree Lover: 一_一]
"Hahaha! Is this Su? Welcome to the live broadcast room, Su~ and Miss Raven, why are you still stunned here? Hurry up and continue!"
"Ah? Alright... I thought it stopped here..." Cioara continued to flip through the dialogue.
[You want soms LOVE, dont you? Don't worry, I'll share some with you. Down here, LOVE is spread through these white little—'Friendliness Pellets'! Are you ready?, Get as many as you can!]
"I have a bad feeling, why does it seem like this little flower is planning something?" Cioara controlled her own red heart, watching as some white so-called 'Friendliness Pellets' floated above Flowey's head, and then saw a numerical value of life under the combat frame. As a mercenary, she has always had sharp instincts and felt something was amiss.
Although the white pellets floated slowly, seemingly harmless, Cioara still controlled the red heart to dodge the 'Friendliness Pellets'.
Clearly, Flowey didn't expect Cioara's protagonist to dodge his Friendliness Pellets.
Immediately after, it forcefully squeezed out a smile and said,
[Hey, buddy, you missed them! Let's try this again. Okay?]
This time, the Friendliness Pellets flew even faster and had a clearer direction. Yes, they were specifically aimed at the red heart.
Cioara dodged again.
[Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN! INTO! THE! BULLETS!(Removed) Friendliness Pellets!]
At the moment when the bullets were mentioned, Flowey visibly paused, but then immediately changed the text, leaving it to be friendship pellets above.
Now Cioara felt something was amiss; even Flowey's expression and the BGM started to change.
Suddenly, Flowey face turned horrifying.
"Cute?" Cioara looked at Elysia's expression.
Elysis averted her gaze, she felt awkward too.
"Um... perhaps it's the game maker's twisted sense of humor?"
[You know what's going on here do you? You just wanted to see me suffer.]
Suddenly, countless white dots appeared outside the battle frame, surrounding the entire red heart without leaving any gaps.
[Die.]
"Now, without any acting? You just want to kill me like this?"
Raven sarcastically remarked. Just when she thought her character's operation was over, the bullets suddenly disappeared.
The air suddenly quieted down, and even Flowey looked surprised. At that moment, a white flame blasted the stunned Flowey away, revealing a figure resembling a goat, a gentle-looking black-robed woman appearing on the screen.
[What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth... Ah, do not be afraid my child. I am TORIEL, the caretaker of the RUINS. I pass through here every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first human to come down here after a long time.. Come on! Let me take you through this underground cemetery.]
[Lazy Tree Lover: Surprisingly predictable yet intriguing.
Shining Melody: It's a promising start, unveiling a fraction of the vast underground world during the brief tutorial phase. This allows players to easily grasp the mechanics while introducing more puzzles to keep them engaged.]
"You seem quite taken with Toriel, who is she? She looks fuzzy and adorable!"
Elysia quickly shifted her attention from Flowey's antics to the fuzzy and welcoming Toriel guiding Cioara forward.
(Shadows of the Ruins looms above, filling you with determination.)
"Is this a checkpoint?"
After saving her progress, Cioara followed Toriel through a door, encountering a puzzle ahead.
[Hypnotic Butterfly: Toriel doesn't strike me as a mere caretaker of the Ruins; she feels more like a motherly figure.
Cheerful Magician: Everywhere you look, there are puzzles. This underground world seems rather problematic.
Green Serpent: I'm curious about the powers these monsters possess. Shouldn't monsters be foes to be vanquished? Why spare them?]
"But they're all such adorable monsters, aren't they? They just want to interact with the protagonist. Even if they might get hurt, to them, it's all just playful!"
As the livestream progressed, many Flame Chasers tuned in. After seeing Mobius' comments, Elysia quickly quashed the dangerous notion.
Truly, Bronie is a gentle and adorable lovely child. Only someone with such a sweet disposition could create such endearing cute monsters.
Through acts of kindness and unique interactions, players can engage with these monsters. Whether it's the shy ghost pretending to sleep or Toriel guiding the protagonist through mechanical puzzles while holding hands.
"Isn't Toriel's maternal love a bit excessive? Would normal monsters be so kind to a human? Typically, monsters are adversaries, aren't they?"
Since she hadn't skipped the subsequent tutorials, Toriel's instructions on conversing during battles also opened up new possibilities for Cioara.
It's like stepping into a fairytale world; it's truly enchanting.
"Isn't this wonderful? No one gets hurt, even though Flowey was a bit malicious at first, Toriel sent him away, right?"
"But our aim is to return to the surface. Yet now, Toriel seems unwilling to let us leave home, and she won't even allow us into the basement."
Cioara progressed through the latter part of the prologue, and the storyline was about to bid farewell to Toriel.
Along the way, picking up a knife seemed to hint at something.
"This home feels so warm, and Toriel wants to protect us, but we also have our own path to follow."
"Don't do anything that might upset her..."
Elysia also felt helpless; the primary goal for humans is to escape this underground world. Though the sheep mom's cottage is cozy, and the butterscotch-cinnamon pie sounds appealing, children must eventually grow up and leave home.
When the protagonist expressed a desire to return home, Toriel revealed why she wouldn't let the protagonist leave.
In this underground kingdom, there's a king named Asgore, who hunts humans from the surface.
During the explanation, Toriel also prepared to destroy the only way out completely. If you truly wish to leave, you must prove to her that you have the capability to defend yourself.
And the only way to prove it is through battle!
[Hypnotic Butterfly: I can sense the mother's instinct to protect her child, but doesn't this happen repeatedly in the outside world too?
Green Serpent: Despite the grandiose presentation, isn't she just trying to keep the protagonist here as a test subject? I can understand—humans are anomalies to monsters; who could resist the urge to study them?]
"Things aren't so clear-cut! In the previous puzzles, Toriel provided ample hints. If there were any dangers, she would've addressed them long ago!"
Elysia countered Mobius' comments as she watched the livestream, though she knew Mobius had ulterior motives.
Mobius was merely attempting to goad Raven into massacring these monsters. But once such an act is committed, Elysia felt, there's no turning back. This intricately crafted game is a testament to Bronie's intentions, brimming with tender emotions.
"I've talked her numerous times, but she shows no sign of relenting. Must I truly resort to violence?" Raven still harbored some hesitation. Throughout her journey, her compassionate demeanor remained intact, and her actions were understandable.
[Frozen Ice Cubes: People always have to make choices. Perhaps you can choose not to kill her, but you can try to knock her down first and then negotiate.]
The Lord has spoken! Upon hearing Elysia's recap, Raven also embraced this notion.
"Since talking isn't effective, I'll have to weaken her first and then talk again..." Raven initiated the attack.
And then...
With the final blow, Raven scored a critical hit!
"How is this possible! I calculated the damage perfectly; why is this critical hit!" Raven was taken aback.
And in that moment, the mortally wounded Toriel sank to her knees, clutching her wound.
[Ugh... child, remember, once you step through this door, never look back. The farther you go, the better... Asgore, don't let him capture you... my child...]
Then, Toriel's form gradually disintegrated into ashes, vanishing from the screen, leaving behind a small white heart.
Subsequently, the tiny white heart shattered instantly, mirroring Elysia's shattered heart.
"This was meant to be a game brimming with love and hope!"
Elysia wanted to admonish Bronie, but prior to this, she had pledged to Bronie not to disclose Raven's knowledge of Bronie's identity as the creator.
For a moment, her brief grief had nowhere to vent.

Bismarck_Imperia This chapter was hard for me. I suddenly have free time so i think ill go do 1 chapter of CHiH early.
Yes. Its easy to copy paste to Chat GPT, the hard part is making it do so consistency with its 500 word limit while CHiH has common wpc of 2000+. I had t split it every time taking more time.
When i finally did so to translate, i had to compile them and then chop it again to correct the grammar as apparently Chatgpt might screw you if you order it to Translate and then Grammar correction after and he doesnt do so consistently.
I also need smoother and better readabilty to compile this and compare it to the Grammar corrected one.
Finally, editing it for any corrections and mis-naming stuff like Miss Pink Goblin= Miss Pink Elf.
I also had to search Undertale's dialogue box and get the script to maintain its consistency with the dialogues.
All in all worth it though, still, its the main reason i dont do daily for this or any that hits 2k+ word per chapters as i had barely time.
Thanks for seeing this rant.
Bab 5: Chapter 5: Who will manage to run into the Genocide Route?
[Haxxor Bunny: Since you've made your choice, you should bear the consequences. Children don't know their limits. Truly caring for Toriel means not raising a hand against her, no matter what.
Lazy Tree Lover: -_-
Frozen Ice Cubes: ... ]
A strange ID appeared in the chat room, making it clear to everyone present that a new visitor, and a hacker at that, had arrived.
Although the ID seemed slightly different from the others.
The other users responded with silence, as the hacker's behavior was akin to invasion, and capturing them was of utmost importance.
Perhaps Elysia had her own reasons for allowing it?
"Never lay a hand on family? It makes sense, but her behavior of stopping me from advancing is indeed suspicious. Who would completely trust someone at first sight? And you, as the game developer, leaving such a clue in the beginning, isn't that a hint?"
After a brief shock, Cioara calmed down momentarily. Although she didn't know who the Haxxor Bunny was, this emotionally stirring game seemed to be the handiwork of that person.
Damn it, making me play such a game. Now that I've put it down, it feels off. And if Elysia is unhappy, will I suffer?
"Let's continue forward. Since I've made a mistake, I should be cautious from now on..."
Elysia also felt a tinge of sadness, but the game must go on.
Although save-scumming could rectify all mistakes, it couldn't erase the sorrow of committing those mistakes. And the entire game would lose its flavor, with all subsequent plotlines following Toriel's survival path, conflicting with her previous actions and the sight of such an ending feeling discordant.
So Elysia suggested moving forward.
As Cioara controlled the protagonist to leave the basement, upon reopening her character panel, she noticed a glaring level up.
Finally, Cioara sighed and continued forward.
Ahead lay a gloomy forest, and as they walked along the forest path, the atmosphere around them suddenly felt eerie.
"Wasn't there someone behind us just now?"
"Toriel did mention earlier to keep moving forward and not let Asgore catch us. Do you think he'll be waiting at the door?"
Elysia jokingly teased Cioara, while Cioara moved forward silently.
As long as they kept advancing, keep moving forward, they could uncover the truth. In Elysian Realm, such rules always existed, and the game naturally followed suit.
After a short distance, they arrived at a wooden bridge, with a dark figure following closely behind, finally revealing its true form.
"Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."
The protagonist slowly turned around and extended their hand to shake the hand of the dark figure.
At that moment, a long and melodious fart sound erupted, the BGM paused, and the entire livestream room was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
"What... what is this?"
The sudden change in atmosphere made everyone momentarily forget about Toriel's passing.
Elysia's smile was always so infectious.
"Is this thing a skeleton? Why is the skeleton so chubby?"
Cioara couldn't help but comment, finding the monster in front of her subverting traditional impressions, especially when paired with the lazy BGM, everything seemed relaxed.
[Hehe... The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick, It's ALWAYS Funny. Anyways, you're human, right? It's quite hilarous. I'm sans, sans the skeleton. I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, ...but you know... I dont really care about caputuring anybody.
Now my brother, Papyrus, he is a human-hunting FANATIC. Hey, actually, I think that's him over there.
By the way, I have an idea. Go through this gate thingy, Yeah, go right through. My brother made the bars too wide to stop anyone.]
With cheerful steps, Sans led the protagonist across the bridge, reaching a clear space next to a roadside stall.
[Quickly, behind that conveniently shaped lamp!]
The protagonist involuntarily walked to the back of the lamp, seamlessly blending in with it.
"Ha! Is this what you call a conveniently shaped object?"
A lamp perfectly crafted to match the protagonist's silhouette, the disguise behind the lamp was so perfect that it impressed Elysia for a moment before she burst into laughter.
Laughter was the easiest way to infect others, even Cioara couldn't help but join in, followed by Eden.
[Lazy Tree Lover: I have to admit, this game developer has quite the knack for the more old humor.
Hypnotic Butterfly: Such a cute game.]
Even Aponia couldn't help but get amused.
In the time spent in the Elysian Realm, countless successors had arrived, but none had brought such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
The arrival of Bronie seemed to bring some subtle changes to the Elysian Realm.
Aponia wasn't sure if these changes were good or bad, because she couldn't witness them.
But precisely because she couldn't witness them, she was filled with anticipation.
Because she couldn't see the outcome, she paid attention to the process. Aponia hid in the deepest end, silently observing the development of events.
Next, it was Papyrus's turn to appear.
Accompanied by cheerful yet somewhat ridiculous BGM, Papyrus appeared wearing red armor with a flowing scarf around his neck, giving off the impression of an energetic young man.
[Sans: sup, bro.
Papyrus: You know what's "up", brother! It's been eight days, and you still haven't recalibrated puzzles! You're just hanging around your station, What are you even doing!
Sans: Staring at this lamp, it's cool, do you look?
Papyrus: No! I don't have time for that! What if a human comes through here! I will be the one, I must be the one! I will catch a human!
Then I, the great Papyrus, will get all the things I deserve!
Respect...
Recognition...
I'll will finally be able join the Royal Guard! Then people will ask to be my 'friend'! I'll wi bathe in a shower of kisses every morning!]
"I didn't expect Sans to tease the protagonist like that, but what's with Papyrus? Why is he so cute!?" Elysia was touched by Papyrus's words. This cutie, wanting to become a so-called Royal Guard, all for the sake of making more friends.
"Sans is a bit of a jerk; I didn't expect him to lure us behind the lamp to betray us..." Cioara evaluated, feeling Papyrus's charm as well.
[Upon hearing his brother's words, Sans paused for a moment, then subtly glanced at the nearby street lamp. "Hmmmm, maybe this lamp will help you."
Papyrus: Sans! You are not helping! You lazybones! All you do is sit and boondoggle all day! You're getting lazier and lazier every day!
Sans: Hey, take it easy. I've gotten a ton of work today. A skele-ton.
Papyrus: Sans!
Papyrus burst into laughter at this joke but immediately feigned anger.]
"The master of jokes is still at large here..."
Hiora raised an eyebrow, but her thoughts were all focused on the game. Toriel's regrets, the healing brought by adorable monsters. The two skeleton brothers, like comedians, bantered back and forth, their conversation filled with humor, making their interactions warm and fun.
Unconsciously, a slight smile curved Hiora's lips.
"Distinct personalities, and Papyrus's character setup is quite interesting. I'm really starting to look forward to the plot ahead. All the monsters in the underground shouldn't be bad, right? Even that little flower might have its own reasons."
Eden picked up a glass and poured herself a full glass of wine, enjoying Cioara's gameplay while savoring the light and cheerful background music with a hint of simplicity.
Seeing the continued growth of art in this era was the best external news for Eden. So she thoroughly enjoyed the present moment. Elysia, always capable of bringing surprises to others.
And Eden began to wonder, what kind of person was this new intruder who called themselves a hacker?
Next, Cioara continued to control the protagonist, while Papyrus seemed to have prepared many puzzles ahead.
"Hey, Raven Miss~"
"Oh, you startled me, speak normally, I'm scared, what's up?" Suddenly, Elysia leaned in again, constantly challenging Cioara's courage.
"I was thinking, in such a cute game, even the puppies are adorable. If we give it to Kalpas, could he also be moved? Perhaps that sunshine-shy boy will be a little more lovable?" Eden, who was slightly tipsy, also opened her eyes, as if confirming whether Elysia was serious. The Sunshine Boy hadn't spoken in the chat group so far. He probably didn't care about this. Giving him the game now might result in a beating, right?
"I once played some music for Kalpas, but it seemed like it was just a noise for him. Can he really endure playing this game? I can't imagine it."
"This is always worth a try, right? Maybe it'll succeed!"
"I can't imagine that..."
Cioara paused her gameplay, helplessly covering her forehead. Kalpas' impression on her was too deep, almost giving her PTSD. These memories of repeated deaths and burns almost gave her PTSD.
And at this moment, combining the image of Kalpas, who had already been fixed in her mind as a deva on flames, with the image of a gentle boy petting the dog monster in front of her, it felt like a mental contamination.
And Elysia actually thought it was fine?
Her thought process are so terrifying!
No, it should be said that Elysia, this girl, was really amazing that she could even get along with Kalpas well.
"Hey, Kalpas is just a bit shy, take this!"
Elysis handed a small booklet to Cioara.
"'From Novice to Mastery: 100 Questions about Kalpas' Mask'! What is this!?"
"It's a way to get along with Kalpas, you can easily see how Kalpas is feeling now, and then consider whether to make contact. This is summarized by the lovely and beautiful Miss Pink Elf~, it's very useful!"
Miss Pink Elf sounded just like Elysia!?
"I prefer to complain about the chilling puns in the game."
"In that case, you might hurt the feelings of a beautiful girl~"
"Sorry..."
"Just kidding!"
Cioara was a little embarrassed for a moment, only then did she realize that the person in front of her was an epic hero in history, a deity beyond reach.
But Elysia was like this, always appearing in others' lives inadvertently, quickly closing the distance with sincerity and care.
Elysia smiled mischievously and then said,
"I froze the live feed on the game, if anyone in Elysian Realm doesn't want to play the game and wants to see the follow-up plot, let our successor lead everyone to experience the beautiful world created by another little cutie! Of course, we shouldn't make it too hard for this successor, playing games can also be exhausting, so Miss Raven, if you feel tired, you might as well take a break!"
"So are you really going?"
Cioara still had a little worry that Elysia might be beaten by Kalpas.
"Relax, I'm the deputy leader of the thirteen Flame Chasers! And such a beautiful game, if it's given to Kalpas, he'll definitely be very happy!"
"Well, be careful on your way."
"Thanks for your concern~"
It was then that Cioara noticed the live feed panel left by Elysia. The previous messages on it were all relayed by Cioara.
Frozen Ice Cubes? Is that their Lord Kevin?
What's Hypnosis Butterfly?
But the Green Snake is quite an image, at that time, she almost thought she was really going to be eaten by her, luckily Eden helped her out.
Shining Melody suits Eden well.
But this, Haxxor Bunny, doesn't look like the any of the people she met here.
That's the hacker, right?
But can a hacker really hack into the technological crystallization of the previous era, the Elysian Realm?
This inevitably made Cioara look at the other person differently.
At least according to Elysia, Haxxor Bunny has indeed manipulated the chat room's panel, and even seems to know more information than herself.
Apart from directly accessing the information inside Elysia Realm, no one knows about the deeds of this guy.
But could an evil person make such a gentle game?
Cioara couldn't help but feel confused again.
"Never mind, let's continue the game, let's... after when Papyrus will attack us, okay?"
