Error wasn't sure how long he sat there, thinking about everything that has happened to him. It was overwhelming, to say the least. He felt as if everything was hitting him like a truck, it was unexpected and odd.

As if something_ someone. had altered his f̧̛̣̮̮͋̌̃̔ȁ̠̜̦͉t̲̝͎̄͐̆͑͝ẹ̡͙͙̓ to end up as it is now. Maybe, he was never supposed to be error. Maybe...

.

.

wait..

.

.

what was he talking about again..?

Error brushed it off, thinking that whatever he forgot about wasn't that important. He let out a glitchy sigh before unwrapping his hands around his legs that were huddled towards his chest as the feeling of comfort left him. Error then stood up, stretching a bit before a loud *POP!* was heard from his bones, making him wince at the sound. Having no muscle or skin to mute the sound made the pop sound oddly disturbing, maybe he should stop doing that.

Error noticed how his clothes and jacket were tattered with many holes and scratches. He sighed as he took off his jacket, inspecting the damages as he cringed at how it currently looked. Error knew how to knit sure (he didn't) but he wasn't that much of an expert at sewing clothes though thankfully he knows how to sew holes from his past life.. Maybe he can hold a sans hostage to teach him how to fix clothes?..

If so then Maybe he'll think about it later since he's going to need the necessary materials to even fix his clothes. Error just wore his jacket once again before thinking about which AU he should steal from.

After a while of thinking he decided maybe a copy of UNDERTALE would work. So he just opened a portal leading to UNDERTALE_#14 before stepping inside it, closing the portal behind him. Thankfully it was a Genocide route. Error really did not want to meet the sans from this copy or even anyone in general.

Error walked through Snowdin once again. thinking about how ink caught him the first time he saw Error. "EhEh.. iT fE3Ls aS iF iT WaS yeStErDaY.." Error chuckled to himself as he walked on the crunchy snow white powder that littered the floor before fully entering Snowdin Town. Of course, there were grey dust everywhere. It looked so sickening but at this point Error couldn't care less. as long as he does not witness murder firsthand considering that this wasn't the first time he saw a dusted town.. Heh.. dust.

Wait, Why was he even chuckling at the word 'dust'? It reminded him of someone.. Eh, its probably not important! Error passed the familiar shop that he raided in the last AU before stopping in front of this universes sans and papyrus's house. He used his strings to unlock the door before kicking it open.

"H3ReE's eRr0R!!1!" Error yelled out with a mischievous grin, Not really remembering WHY he said that, but it probably was related to his past life..

.

.

.

.

.

He's forgetting.

.

.

.

.

.

Error snapped out of his dazed state, not really remembering what he said or did. But he guesses that he broke into sans and papyrus's house just now.

Error walked farther into their house as he entered Sans's room, seeing Sans's extra jacket on the floor before grabbing it. "ThIs w1Ll pR0BaBlY HeLp." Error mumbled to himself before opening a small portal to his void, throwing the jacket inside as he closed it. Sans's jacket will probably help with fixing his clothes since the fabric is good enough.

Error walked out the house towards waterfall, having his hands in his pockets while whistling and minding his damn business before stopping at the sight In front of him. The human was currently in front of a kneeling papyrus who had his arms wide open_ asking for a hug before the human slashed papyrus's head.

Papyrus's head fell on the white snow as his body disintegrated. "W-WELL THATS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED BUT.." Papyrus continued on, feeling a bit disappointed in the human. "ST...STILL! I BELIEVE IN YOU!" Papyrus's gaze lingered on the human who was wielding a knife, dust on them while having no remorse whatsoever.

"YOU CAN STILL DO A LITTLE BETTER!" Papyrus hoped that the human would change, even after mercilessly beheading him. "EVEN IF YOU DONT THINK SO!" Papyrus started to slowly dust away before saying his last words. "I... I PROMISE..."

...

Papyrus disintegrated away into grey dust.

Seeing the human mercilessly murder someone had sparked something in Error. His urge... He completely forgot about it. Error's gaze lingered on the human a bit longer than before as he saw them_ IT. step over papyrus's dust with no regret.

Error snapped. He wasn't sure what happened next. One second he saw the humans figure fade away, and the next he saw how his Urge for destroying took over as his vision went red.

Error had summoned bones in front of the human. Long, tall glitchy bones that restricted the human from walking deeper into the underground before shooting off his strings towards the humans soul. The human was caught off guard as the strings wrapped around its soul, rendering the human useless.

Error pulled at the soul as he saw it in front of him with a crazed smile. He wasn't acting like himself and he knows it. Error then saw how the human looked panicked at seeing its own soul in errors grasp, only making error let out a deep chuckle.

"h3H..HeH.. y0u rEaLLy d1dNt Th1nK y0uR aCtIoNs wOuLdNt h4vE cONsEQuEnc3S hUh?" Error said before teleporting in front of the human. "iT wAs fUn wHiLe iT lasT3D. Gl1TcH." Bones emerged from underneath the human before piercing it, making it cough out blood that teared down its mouth before it limped. It was finally dead.

Error stared at the now dead body of the human, chuckling lowly before it erupted into huge roars of laughter. "I-I-1 K1LlED 1T. I C4-ca-CAnT B3LEiV3 i K1-Ki-KILL3d sOmE0NE!1" Error kept laughing as tears gathered in his eyes as he gripped his skull with both hands as errors started to fill around his body in a fast pace..

He killed someone..

His train of thoughts were stopped when he saw a red heart that was still wrapped around his strings. Guilt, Fear and sadness clouded his thoughts once again. What is he supposed to do with this AU now.. And this soul as well.. That was until the familiar CODE menu opened up in front of him.

AU NAME:
UNDERTALE_#14.
CODE:
#1914.
ROUTE:
GENOCIDE.
MONSTERS LEFT:
46.
RESETS:
14
ERASE WORLD?
YES / NO

[REQUIREMENTS: 0 monsters total, live human soul.]

This time, The requirements were very clear. In order to erase this world, he needs to get rid of every. single. monster. in the underground. And an intact human soul. It made Error feel sick to the stomach. Killing people wasn't in his dictionary, but now? He wasn't really sure.

Error swallowed down the lump forming on his non-existent throat before his gaze lingered on the human soul he held in his strings. Error inched in closer before holding it in his hands carefully as if it was glass. His vision blurred as tears threatened to fall out before whispering a sorry to the soul.

Error then wrapped the strings around his waist, hanging the soul as if it was a keychain before walking towards Waterfall. Deciding that the damage was already done to both this world and his mental state..

For the next few hours, Error had done the same thing. Hearing the cries and pleading each monster had given him before killing them. The sounds of shattering souls echoing the room he was in. The dust they left behind as he passed them. It made his soul tighten every time he killed an innocent monster.

He thought that he'd only go to this AU for tools just to fix his clothes, But of course life isn't that easy as everyone says.

Error had finally reached the judgement hall, wanting to finish this as soon as possible before seeing this worlds sans in front of him. Sans's eyes widened once he realized that it wasn't the kid he had been waiting for, but a glitchy skeleton that looked oddly similar to him standing there with the human soul hanging there like a valuable keychain.

Error sighed "l3Ts gEt tH1s oV3r w1Th." He muttered before summoning a Gaster blaster that aimed at sans. Sans obviously was caught off guard as he dodged the oncoming blast. Sans had then summoned bones, both blue and white, blasters, whatever you name it, at Error. Hoping to at least stop him.

But it was all futile as soon as Sans felt tired, Trapping Error with his blue bones as his breath quickened. "Y-You really know how to bone-tire someone out huh.." Sans said, short on breath as Error glared at him. "Blue means stop.. Bud. It wont ever be your turn. So give up." Sans spoke up again, looking at Error as blue colored sweat dripped down Sans's skull.

Error slowly closed his eyes as his plastered smile quivered a bit. "s0RrY." As soon as Error Spoke that Aloud, bones had already pierced behind Sans, Making his bone marrow blood pool up at Sans's mouth and back. Error saw how Sans slowly fell down on his knee's, gasping for breath as the blue bones that restricted error disappeared_ Making Error walk up to Sans with a sad look on his eyes.

"I-i guess this is it huh.." Sans went silence before speaking again. "D-dont say i didnt warn 'ya." Error started walking past Sans before hearing Sans's last words. "Papyrus... Do you.. want anything..?"

The frizzle of dust was followed soon after as Error could feel his LV grow higher in value. Error wishes he could scream, cry and yell his feelings out. But.. this was expected. He IS Error sans after all. He never wanted to be Error.

"OnlY 0n3 r0oM l3Ft.." Error muttered to himself in defeat as he entered the throne room, where Asgore was talking to someone.. "A black skeleton..? I see.. I'll see what I can do about it." Without giving asgore a chance, Error pierced his soul_ Shattering him.

Flowey was stunned as he saw bits of dust fall onto his face before turning to look at Error. "W-Wait wait wait! We can t-talk about this right?! You want destruction right?! I can give you that!" Flowey teared up before letting out a sob

" plₑᴬsᴱ  ᴰoᴺ'ᵀ  ᴷiᴸl  mᴱ... . . . "

Error had already pierced flower with his bone as Flowey dusted away as the last bit of LV filled him. He pulled out the CODE menu once again before he heard pattering footsteps behind him. He knew damn well who it was.

>|ERASE WORLD?|
YES / NO

With one look on the bar, he moved his hand towards the yes option.

|ERASE WORLD?​​​​​​​|
>YES / NO

[Requirements met.]

[Erasing world. . .]

[Please Exit, the world.]

"ERROR!" Error heard the yell that ink let out as footsteps were slowly raising in volume, Not wanting to see his face again or even anybody's face right now, he fled to his safe space. The anti-void.

He closed the glitchy portal behind him before letting out a shaky sigh. He felt something still attached to his waist before looking down.

He saw the bright red soul that will soon haunt him and his nightmares still intact. He thought the code will get rid of the soul as well. But of course this damned world wants his regrets to haunt him.

He unwrapped the soul off his waist, but not all of it as the strings were still wrapped around it tightly. "W3Ll i GuEsS yOu'lL b3 hAuNtInG m3 n0W y0u l1TTl3 sh1T." Error said, holding back a sob as he hugged the soul. "im s0rry.." He whispered, trembling as he held back his tears.

"Im trUly s0Rry.."

A/N

Wow this went deeper than i thought huh?

I really didn't want to make it that deep but EHHHHH we need more DRAMA AND LOREE! and yes, the soul is not going to leave error at all. Its going to haunt him there.

*IMPORTANT*

The reason why the system never took the soul with it, even though it was said in the requirements is because it never actually specified WANTING it. It just needed error to hold onto the soul without shattering it in order to understand that the culprit_ PLAYER. Is no longer in control of the world so it could properly erase the world without a reset happening.

Now that that's explained, Onto the facts!!

~Inks squid senses were tingling. (He sensed an AU copy being destroyed.)

~Nightmare felt intense negative emotions emitting from Error. But sadly was caught into a fight before teleporting to him.

~Ink now thinks its pointless to reason with Error, now that he witnessed Error destroying the world.

~Error hates himself.

~Error hates destroying AU's. But he knows he'll get used to it soon.
