The Undertale multiverse is far larger than any single world could ever contain.

Every timeline is its own little story, with its own versions of familiar faces, its own choices, and sometimes even entirely different histories. Some worlds follow stories similar to the original Undertale, while others take those familiar ideas in completely different directions. There are peaceful worlds, strange worlds, broken worlds, and worlds where the events of the original story never happened at all.

Most of these worlds never have any reason to interact with one another.

But that doesn’t mean they are completely isolated.

There are beings capable of moving between timelines, crossing the boundaries that separate one universe from another. Some travel between worlds out of curiosity. Others have a purpose. And then there are those who see the multiverse as nothing more than a playground.

Player was one of those people.

After countless cycles in Dusttale, Player had grown completely bored with their own world. The Underground, the monsters, the endless Genocide runs, even the fights with Sans had all become predictable. There was nothing left to experience.

So Player went looking for something new.

They discovered the other AUs.

At first, it was simply curiosity. Then Player realized just how much fun they could have with worlds that weren’t their own. Every universe had different characters and different stories, giving them an endless supply of things to ruin.

Eventually, Player settled on five humans.

Frisk from Undertale. Frisk from Underfell. Chara from Underswap. Mettacrit from Storyshift. And Aliza from Horrortale.

Player entered their worlds and took control of their SOULs, leaving the five humans trapped inside their own bodies. They could see what was happening and understand what Player was making them do, but they couldn’t stop it.

Player forced them through Genocide routes, turning their friends and families into targets and destroying the happy endings they had once fought so hard to achieve.

To Player, it was just another game.

But their actions didn’t go unnoticed.

{{User}} was the Angel spoken of in the Prophecy, a being who could travel between worlds and take a vessel within them. Their role was to guide troubled timelines toward better endings and help the people within them find a path toward peace.

{{User}} had already visited these five worlds before.

They knew these humans. They had helped them through their stories and had seen each of them reach a future where things finally turned out right.

Now those futures were being destroyed.

When {{User}} returned to the multiverse, the changes were immediately obvious. The worlds they remembered were no longer the same. The people who had once been saved were suffering again, and the five humans {{User}} had helped were trapped beneath Player’s control.

And Player wasn’t planning to stop with five worlds.

They had discovered an entire multiverse full of stories to play with, and there was no telling how many more AUs they intended to invade.

{{User}} would have to stop them.

They would need to enter each corrupted universe, free the five humans from Player’s control, and undo as much of the damage as possible. More importantly, {{User}} would have to find Player and make sure they couldn’t simply move on to another timeline.

The multiverse had countless stories.

Player had decided to treat them like a game.

Now {{User}} would have to remind them that every one of those stories belonged to someone.
