《Escape From Undertale》Chapter 2: The Ruins
Advertisement
Black. Everything was black except the figure of a man falling without a sound. As this man was falling He had an emotion of acceptance on his face. As this man fell He felt nothing but cold air flowing through him. But then the man felt a brief moment of pain as he felt the ground hit him, but then He felt a warm presence...a feeling He never felt before. Suddenly Jack woke up to find him self on what seemed to be a hill of flowers with the one point of sunlight coming where Jack came. Everywhere else around the patch of flowers was pitch black, with no walls that can be outlined. Except a small light coming from a doorway. Jack then got up to see the light, but then he saw what seemed to be a child in the doorway which the light is coming from "hey, HEY!? WHO'S THERE?!" Jack exclaims in confusion. a scent of fear went through his body as the child backed up and sprinted away. As soon as this happens Jack gets up and goes after the child thinking of the slender chance of them knowing where the hell he was.
As Jack went for the child, he was astonished and creeped out by the cold, dark tunnels 'h..how are these tunnels here, I mean the Black hands base is way more advanced then these ancient tunnels.' Jack thinks as he sprints after the unknown child. The lieutenant then comes across two small staircases that lead to a door surrounded by red carpet. "what the...stairs, underground?" Jack says out of breath. Suddenly he hears footsteps behind him, Jack then turns around as if he felt something breathing down his neck. And what he saw was the child, they were what seemed to be female from the facial features and hair, the dress she was wearing was a purple . The age of the child Jack estimated was about ten to thirteen. "H..Hello there M..Mister" the child said while looking at the soldier in a face of intimidation. Jack surprised at the child's presence, went to the knee looking at the child "who are you..." Jack said feeling worriment and confusion for the child. "M..My names Frisk" the child said still in fear. Jack then started to feel remorse instead of confusion and said "What are you doing down here kid? And how the hell did you escape the base?" Frisk looked at Jack confused then a bit irritated "First of all this is my home, second of all what base?". Jack looked at the young preteen with a face of disbelief "Really...did you not just hear an explosion kid?". Frisk then a bit more frightened says "Y..Yea, why did you think I came here S..Sir.". Suddenly the two only humans heard a footstep coming through the ruins behind them, then a growl. Frisk's face became contorted in fear as if she knew what creature, what thing it came from.

Jack looked behind himself to see what was the fuel of nightmares and fear itself, a Skeleton with falling flesh, armor, and no soul. Suddenly with a snap of its neck it looked up at the humans and slowly rouse its arm and pointed growling louder and louder. Then as soon as this happened more and more of these abominations limped and crawled toward the source of the terrifying noise. "M..My GOD!" Jack says filled with fear and terror, he then looked at Frisk and demanded her to run with a look. A persistent and determined Frisk then walked past Jack who had his hand on his holstered pistol. Frisk then went up to the soulless, hungry monsters before her "hello there friend" Frisk said with a smile as Jack looked at her in disbelief. Suddenly the skeleton in front of frisk picked the thirteen year old up and opened its mouth with a deafening crack as its ancient bones shifted into place. As this happens Frisk begins to scream and cry regretting her idea as it brings its fangs closer towards her. As Frisk was starting accept her fate, Suddenly as if an eagle strikes its prey, Jack's bullet went through the skull of the skeleton shattering it and making it drop Frisk. Jack then grabbed Frisk and ran from the oncoming skeletons behind them. After running a full three minutes Jack and Frisk came to a dead end "no, no no NO! M..Mister those things are coming we need to find a way out!" Frisk exclaims full of fear, and at the same time Jack felt fear as those abominations growls and roars grew louder and louder. Then one of the skeletons appeared in the hallway covered dry blood and dust as Jack pointed his pistol at the direction of the of the creature as the other growls grew until tens of skeletons limped through. Jack did not hesitate to unloaded his pistol on the monstrosities before him, shooting one in the skull and multiple in the body. The one with no skull fell...but got up and, what seemed to be unbelievable the once shattered skull began to regenerate as if it was in rewind, so did the other skeletons as their ribs repair themselves. Jack then tried to reload when abruptly a skeleton grabbed him by the arm and neck. The monster then dislocated the soldier's arm in one swift movement, making Jack drop his only weapon. Jack then groaned instead of screaming because at the same time he was being choked with an iron grip. Frisk then punched the skeleton in the non existent stomach to no avail as the skeleton then looked at frisk and back handed her, letting go of Jack's arm. Jack then kicks the skeleton into the other ones causing them to topple on each other. the then injured soldier got up and picked up the knocked out frisk and his pistol running as fast as the wind. Suddenly one of the skeletons grabbed Jack's foot causing him to stop in his tracks. "Get your paws off me you boney piece of shit!!!" Jack then kicks the skeleton in the jaw but the skeleton bites Jack causing him to kneel in pain as the pack of skeletons grew nearer! But then the feeling fear was replaced by heat when suddenly a ball of flame went right past the beaten soldier and right into the horde in front of them. With a flash and a small explosion the once horde of skeletons was consumed by flames and then was transformed into ash. Shocked and astonished Jack looked behind him to see a figure in the shadows. For a second it did nothing then it started to move towards the knocked out child and a terrified Jack slowly and quietly.

Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online.
