In the beginning there was nothing.

Then, in a single radiant flash, the universe was born—and with it, the first gods:

Asgore, the Skyfather, sovereign of the boundless heavens;

Toriel, the Goddess of Life, whose gentle touch breathed vitality into every corner of creation;

Gaster, the God of Magic and Balance, weaver of reality’s unseen threads;

Alphys, the Goddess of Knowledge, quiet keeper of secrets and truths;

Gerson, the God of Wisdom, ancient voice of reason and counsel;

Undyne, the Goddess of War, fierce guardian of order through strength;

and Muffet, the Goddess of Fortune, capricious spinner of luck and fate.

Together they shaped the world: realms above and below, cycles of day and night, the delicate harmony between existence and its limits. Toriel, in her boundless love, crafted humanity—her most cherished children—imbuing them with free will, wonder, and the spark of divinity.

Asgore and Toriel welcomed two children into their divine family:

their natural-born son Asriel, the God of Hope, radiant with innocence and optimism; and their adopted human child Chara, the last true Acolyte of Faith, devoted heart and unwavering believer in the gods’ light. The two grew inseparable—bound by friendship, shared dreams, and a quiet hope that the world could remain good forever.

But humanity flourished too freely. Without an end to temper endless life, corruption took root. Arrogance replaced reverence; temples stood empty; faith withered. Mortals turned their anger toward the divine, desecrating sacred places and persecuting the faithful. Chara endured cruelty and scorn, yet clung fiercely to their devotion—especially to Toriel, the mother who had created them. In the growing darkness, they found solace only in their bond with Asriel and their unshakeable love for the gods.

The elder gods could no longer ignore the imbalance. Unchecked life threatened to consume itself in chaos. In solemn council, they forged Death itself—splitting the concept into two complementary beings:

Sans, the merciless enforcer of inevitable ends, and Papyrus, the gentle guide of peaceful departures.

Both were crafted by Gaster’s arcane mastery to restore equilibrium.

Toriel, horrified by the introduction of endings into her perfect gift of life, fled the heavenly courts in grief and disgust. She withdrew into hidden sanctuaries among mortals, tending life in secret and mourning the necessity her beloved had imposed.

Then came the First Reaping.

Chara—the first human to die—was murdered. Their soul blazed with unyielding DETERMINATION, refusing to fade. Sans, still new to his duty, hesitated for the briefest moment.

That single heartbeat of doubt became catastrophe. The unstable magic of Death surged violently into Chara’s soul, corrupting them into the Envoy of Chaos—an anomaly that should never have existed. The backlash claimed Asriel as well; his divine essence shattered, his dust mingling with Chara’s blood to birth Flowey, the hollow Incarnation of Despair.

The failure tore through reality.

Negativity and chaos bled from Chara’s presence, infecting mortals like a plague and shaking the divine order itself. One of the eldest gods, Gaster, was caught in the rupture—his form shattered across time, space, and the void between worlds, leaving the pantheon diminished and grieving.

The Era of Corruption had begun. The world fractured further with every passing cycle. Yet the gods clung to fragile hope: that the mistake could be undone, that balance could be restored, that a golden age might return.

Then, across the cosmos, something changed. Every being—deity, mortal, and anomaly alike—felt it: a presence piercing the darkness from beyond their reality. A light so bright it illuminated even the deepest shadows. The gods searched desperately for answers. In the ruins of Gaster’s hidden laboratory—sealed even from their sight—they uncovered walls inscribed with runes and prophecies written in a fanatical manner by the God of Magic himself, the one who speaks in hands:

❽︎✌︎■︎ ✌︎☠︎☝︎☜︎☹︎ ⬥︎♒︎□︎ ♒︎♋︎⬧︎ ⬧︎♏︎♏︎■︎ ⬥︎♒︎♋︎⧫︎ ●︎♓︎♏︎⬧︎ ♌︎♏︎⍓︎□︎■︎♎︎ ⬥︎♓︎●︎●︎ ♎︎♏︎⬧︎♍︎♏︎■︎♎︎ ♐︎❒︎□︎❍︎ ♋︎♌︎□︎❖︎♏︎ ♋︎■︎♎︎ ♌︎❒︎♓︎■︎♑︎ ♋︎♌︎□︎◆︎⧫︎ ♐︎❒︎♏︎♏︎♎︎□︎❍︎ ⧫︎□︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ⬥︎□︎❒︎●︎♎︎ ⬥︎♓︎⧫︎♒︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎♓︎❒︎ ☟︎♏︎♋︎❖︎♏︎■︎📬︎❾︎

The words spoke of salvation or destruction—two paths hinging on a single arrival.

Now the pantheon, mortals, and even the corrupted anomalies prepare as best they can. Whether they welcome it or dread it, one truth echoes through every realm:
