Frisk felt a profound confidence in what this meant but it wasn't too long for them to ground that confidence.

Frisk-*I can't get ahead of myself that pain was far too real for this to just be some game*

They walked down the path of the ruins. It wasn't all too hard to solve puzzles, but one thing they were getting tired of was several monsters trying to fight them on sight with few acceptions to the point they started to drop being completely nice.

*You encounter Loox, Froggit, and Moldsmal*

Frisk was a bit taken aback being surrounded as all 3 used their magic, and their surprise got them hit by all 3, leaving them in bad shape.

Froggit-"We won't be threatened by you human"

Loox-"What exactly will you do about it?"

Frisk-"Oh great..... hey Pal get out of my way does news not exist down here I don't want to harm anyone at the moment....but it's only so much I'll tolerate...get out my way or I'll hurt you"

*You threatened the Loox however they are not deterred*

By this point, it was easy to deal with most attacks as they weren't too fast or confusing. Frisk easily dodged their magic tears, and to prove a point, they slashed at him with a toy knife they found that did something to Frisk's surprise.

*They were surprised by the threat and no longer wanted to fight*

Frisk spared them and went on their way, dealing with monsters that way from now on, hoping some proof of them not being a complete pushover would deter more attacks. They went through the ruins and found a room with cobwebs. Seeing a sign, they looked up and saw spiders with a lot of webbed-up snacks, and there were prices and product names.

Frisk-"definitely not normal spiders..... But do I even have any of this... Gold?"

They reached in their pockets and pulled out some 60g, but it wasn't a full amount. It left them kinda surprised.

Frisk-"I didn't even feel any of it..... that's strange"

They dropped 60g as a spider came down.

*you've gained 4 as spider donuts*

*Frisk walked out of the area but they were approached by a froggit, Loox, and Moldsmal*

Frisk was a bit surprised that they were directly confronted out of a shop as they held up their toy knife.

Frisk-"So what is this about were warnings not good enough?"

Froggit-(Ribbit)"Not all of us are going to be intimidated by you human"

Loox-"Especially not by such a weak loser"

*Moldsmal wasn't much for conversation*

All 3 attacked them. Frisk dodged the first few attacks, but trying to predict all 3 going at the same time was a bit confusing as they were hit for the first time in a while, so they froze up from feeling the pain and fear they were hit by another onslaught and their slowed reaction costed them.

________Frisk POV________

I woke up again back at the save point. I was shaking. I remember feeling the slightest drop in the heat of my own body, the pain that hit so fast I couldn't scream.

Frisk-"... Ha.... Ha.... D-did I....j-just get killed!"

I held their head and started tearing up.

Frisk-"Was I that mean....I just wanted to get through this nonsense!..... They kept pushing me....I never..."

I clenched my fist, pulled at my hair, and gritted my teeth.

-"So these monsters couldn't handle a few damn warnings for wasting my time"

I said my voice was like a whisper I stood up and frowned.

-"Kill or be killed..... that's not what that was I'll just show them......harsh consequences"

I grabbed the save point and saved again.

*You feel anger and confusion..... your rage flows through you..... you're filled with Determination*

*SAVED*

I walked through the same path, but this time, I didn't show much mercy to those who attacked first. I killed a Froggit first; I wasn't exactly in the mood for compliments, but when I did strike them down, I felt a slight feeling of strength. So I kept it up. Dust was covering my knife, and it did lead to less trouble before I walked into the same spider place where I stopped.

-".... Shouldn't I feel anything more from doing this?"

I asked myself, besides the guilt feeling, it wasn't on the same level as taking a life. If anything, the other feeling was stronger.

-"It's not right.... but they weren't right either..... I'm stronger for doing this...... But this won't be a forever thing right?"

I shook my head, bought the same thing and amount, and walked out with no one to confront me.

_______3rd person_______

Frisk was having a smooth time for the rest of her travel finally reaching Toriel's house as she rushed out.

Toriel-"Are you ok my child?.... You haven't called me since I asked you this whole time you didn't even answer your phone"

Toriel looked concerned and Frisk smiled slightly.

Frisk-"I.... I know I'm sorry I was just distracted exploring the place hehe"

*It hurts you to lie Toriel sees through it*

Toriel-"OK..... let's get inside I'm sure it's been a long day for you"

She walked to the door, unlocked it, and turned, waiting for Frisk.

*but she doesn't press the issue*

Frisk walked over but saw a save point. They grabbed it, and time froze.

*Your mind feels conflicted.....but you're happy with Toriel.....their care fills you with Determination*

*SAVED*

Frisk let go and grabbed Toriel's hand as they walked inside together.

Toriel-"I made some pie though it's a little too hot right now"

She looked at them with a soft smile.

Toriel-"But I'm guessing you're too tired to eat right?"

Frisk looked up and nodded quietly.

Toriel-"I'll.....show you your room then"

She led them to the first door of a hallway.

Toriel-"I got it ready for you while you were out I wanted you to feel welcome here"

Frisk looked surprised.

Frisk-" You did that just for me? "

Toriel-" Who wouldn't do that for their child?"

She smiled and ruffled their hair gently before hugging them which Frisk returned.

Toriel-"I never asked you your name did I?"

Frisk-"it's Frisk......just Frisk......mom"

Frisk said with watery eyes as Toriel hugged them again.

Toriel-"Goodnight Frisk"

Frisk-"goodnight mom"

They separated as Toriel walked to the living room. Frisk walked inside their new room, and they laid down, pulling the cover over them before falling asleep.

______dream______

Frisk was in a void, walking forward as they went on and on for miles, they stepped on something soft, picking up dust. As they looked down, seeing the dead monsters traced in the dust, they shook their head and looked up, being met with a figure obscured their feet kept moving as their appearance was more clear. They had short brown hair, pale skin, rosy cheeks, red eyes, and smiling.

????? -"Greetings you're doing quite well for yourself"

Frisk suddenly felt like they had more control as they stepped back.

????? -"You should relax I'm not some dark manifestation, Golly I forgot to introduce myself maybe that would help heh"

Frisk-".....what?"

Chara-" Greetings Frisk I'm Chara and I don't blame you for defending yourself because let's just say these monsters are small fries compared to what's beyond the ruins"

Chara smiled creepily as Frisk rolled their eyes.

Frisk -"You say that like I'd leave Toriel"

Chara walked close to them and grabbed their soul.

Chara-"It's in your best interest you do partner..... Because it's your soul that the monsters are so desperate for"

Frisk -" What does it matter they wouldn't get the chance to try again"

Chara-" But didn't you see her expression I did say that you didn't fool her she's not pleased with your LV.....which is 3 by the way"

Frisk-" You mean levels?"

Chara-" Yeah, you see that feeling you have. Well, I feel that too...... Every time your LOVE increases"

Frisk looked confused.

Frisk -" Why do you call it love......the flower said the same thing "

Chara looked at them with an annoyed expression before smiling again.

Chara-"Well that's because Love has 2 meanings..... there's what you're thinking of but the other meaning is an acronym it means Level of violence"

To be continued.....
