1Welcome one and all to VolTale! (Still trying to find out what I should name this.) Okay, so this will be my first time writing a fan fictional story…or any story outside of what I have done in English class.
So, I guess I should inform you of what this story entails. Well, it is an OC story (because that's original lol) of a character that I have been imagining for quite a while. I'll be honest; this character's design is based on a fan game that I enjoyed, so you might recognize him. I really tried coming up with my own character design, but I am terrible at being original when it comes to making characters.
Also, there are going to be some things in this story that are probably, most likely, going to be different than the game as well as theories that you may or may not disagree with (like whether determination is a soul trait and stuff).
I want to thank XWolf26 for inspiring me in making this. Your stories are incredible! *sans grin*
With that out of the way, let's begin. Oh, and I do not own Undertale, that is owned by Toby Fox. I only own my OC.
"Speech"
OCs Inner Thoughts
You know, I always wondered why parents told you not to do certain things. Like "Don't sit too close to the T.V." or "Don't make funny faces or it will freeze." (If the first thing you think about is that SpongeBob episode, you should be ashamed of yourself.)
…what? Just me?
Moving on! These are just some of the things that parents tell you to do, just to stop you from doing the things you want. Lots of people my age would say something similar to this. I used to think that as well.
Used to.
Now, you probably want to know what changed my mind, don't you? Well, just giving the answer so early would be boring in my opinion. So, let's start from the beginning.
American High School. It was finally the last class of the day, Algebra, and it was five minutes from ending. Those five minutes felt like an eternity as I was tapping my desk repeatedly with my index finger waiting for the bell to ring and the weekend to start.
I look back at the board as the instructor; Mrs. Halvin, was giving an explanation on…some sort of formula? Wait, there are a's, b's, and c's in it. Huh? Isn't there supposed to be only x's and y's…Oh crap.
"So, who here would like to try solving this formula?" Mrs. Harvin asked while looking around for a sucke- I mean volunteer. I tried to keep my head down. Don't pick me, don't pick me, don't pick me~!
"How about…Shen?" Dammit! "Please come up to the board."
I begrudgingly get out of my seat. By the way, I have long brown hair, Men's Ponytail style, mildly dark tan skin color, and blue eyes. I wore a navy-blue t-shirt which black stripes on the back made to look like an "X", plain black jeans pants, and black Nike sneakers. Over my shirt is my favorite: a green digital camo jacket.
So, I slowly walk towards the board, dreading every step I take. Okay, calm down. Maybe after looking closer at the problem, the answer will come to me…I look closer at the problem with absolute confidence on my face.
…
…..
…..
NOPE! I got nothing! I start panicking as I am about 3 steps away from the whiteboard. Crap, crap, cra-
All the sudden, I hear possibly the greatest sound ever: the final school bell. The Mrs. Halvin looks at the clock with a surprised face. "Well, look at the time. Well then, everyone is dismissed! Enjoy your weekend." Everyone excitedly runs out of the door while I go back to my seat to get my book bag.
Phew, dodged a bullet there. My luck strikes again! I thought while about to leave the classroom myself.
"Oh, and by the way, Shen?" I turn around to Mrs. Halvin, looking at me with a mischievous, almost evil smirk while waving. "You will have to solve this next week. Have a nice weekend!"
I become two shades paler from that statement. I nervously laugh with a sweat drop on my face while exiting the classroom. "Well, isn't that just wonderful…" I say with "no sarcasm whatsoever." Sighing heavily, I go outside the school to head home. "Happy Friday, I guess. Welp, guess I'll go home and make some videos!"
I am living in a big and spacious house by myself in Miami. It's a pretty nice house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge living room, and even a pool in the backyard. The house was completely paid for and the monthly payments are paid by my parents.
They were truly hardworking people who I look up to above all else. My mom taught me about the strength to overcome hurdles that came in her way. She was truly a determined person. My dad taught me about giving kindness to other people. He was friends with almost anyone that he met.
Where are they now? …they're…not here anymore. I won't go into too many details about what happened, but I will say this. I have no respect for drunk drivers.
…..
That took a sour note huh. Well, I know my parents are in a better place, and they did their absolute best to take care of me. In fact, they still take care of me to this day. After all, it was due to the money that was willed to me that made it possible to still live in our house.
My neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Washington, were very close friends with my mom and dad. They act as my guardian: buying food, paying utilities, among other things using the money provided to me. They even helped me when I told them I wanted to be a YouTube Content Creator, and allowed me to make a linked account (since I am only 16 and cannot monetize videos without a parent or guardian.)
So, after walking through my living room, I entered my room. It was a room with white walls with some gaming posters, a 50" T.V. that I got from Walmart (rollback price for the win!), a PS4, a desktop computer, a closet, and a king-sized bed by the window. Just so you know, this is not the Master Bedroom; like I said, my parents worked hard to buy this house.
After taking off my jacket, I sit in front of my computer, preparing to start making some videos. After putting in my password and getting the recording software opened, I start playing a Pokémon fan-game called Pokémon Reborn. After putting on my Turtle Beach headset and doing a mic test, I get started:
"What's going on guys? ProjectIceman here…"
I manage to do about 3 hours of gameplay (because I bulk record lol) before going to the fridge in the kitchen to cook something to eat. What to eat today? Let's see…we got hot dogs! Yes! Wait…do we have buns...Potato rolls. They know me so well.
After cooking the hot dogs and pouring some root beer in a cup, I go back to my room to watch some YouTube and Twitch videos while I eat. I noticed that there was a lot of Undertale content that was made recently…
"…I completely forgot. It's the Undertale Anniversary today. Man, time sure flies…heh."
…
"Well, maybe I should record an Undertale lets play video for old time's sa-"
All of the sudden, a loud thunder could be felt around the entire house. I deadpanned as I said, "So much for being the Sunshine State…damn. Should I hold off?" I contemplate for a moment. "…nah. I am DETERMINED to record this video!" I pull off my best Frisk face before bursting out laughing. I start loading Undertale on my computer and put my headset on.
…do you remember what I stated at the beginning? It was things that parents say in order to keep you safe. Things that parents made sure to drill in your head because they were overprotective of their children. I forgot the one thing that my mom always told me.
"Don't go on the computer during a thunderstorm. You might get electrocuted."
Now I thought that was just being a little too overprotective. After all, if it is connected to a surge protector, I should be fine…should be.
Honestly, I don't know how it happened. The last thing I remember is the opening part of Undertale: "Long ago, two races ruled the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS." After that, light engulfed the house, and the computer blacked out…
As for me…well, let's just say I felt like I was being devoured by fire ants, ticks, and bedbugs…enough to cover my entire body. It was the longest second of my life before all I could see was darkness…
Wow. Almost 1300 words. There is a high chance that the chapters after this will not be as long. Like, very high.
As for the schedule for uploading this story, I cannot say. Just this chapter alone took a lot of time to make (about a month). Also, I will have to research on the story of Undertale again since it has been a long time.
Anyways, if you find this story interesting, please Follow, Favorite, and/or Review. I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions to the story. You can even give me some ideas on more CHARActers to include…heh. *wide grin* Just go easy on me…please?
Welp, I'll see you guys next time!
