 Once upon a time, two races ruled over Earth: Humans and Monsters. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell. The humans’ fear of monsters was based mainly on the monsters’ ability to absorb human SOULs. Trapped underground, the monsters explored their new environment and slowly set up a society there.

In the year 201X, a human child called Chara fell into the Underground. Chara was adopted by the Dreemurr family, the King and Queen of monsters and their son Asriel, and lived happily with them for some time. Chara devised a plan to collect human SOULs and deliberately ate buttercups to poison themself. Asriel absorbed Chara’s SOUL, and as a powerful composite being, they crossed the barrier and went to the human village. Assuming that Asriel had killed Chara, the humans attacked him. Chara’s SOUL urged him to fight back, but Asriel resisted. Mortally wounded, he stumbled back to the monster castle and died.

The king and queen were devastated, having lost both their children in one night. Asgore, the king of monsters, declared war on humans, and decreed that every human who fell would be killed. Once seven SOULs were collected, their power would be used to shatter the barrier and set monsters free. Then humanity would be destroyed, and monsters would live on the surface in peace. Disgusted at her husband’s actions, the queen, Toriel, exiled herself and disappeared.

Sometime between Chara’s death and the arrival of the player character, six humans fell into the underground, and all of them were killed, their SOULs collected by Asgore. Toriel tried and failed to save all of them. Also during this time frame, Gaster built the CORE, and fell into it. After Gaster dies, Alphys takes over as Royal Scientist. She starts experimenting with the substance called “determination,” which human SOULs have and monsters do not. She tries to create synthetic souls by injecting determination into the bodies of dying monsters. She assumed that the monsters would disintegrate and their SOULs would remain. Instead, the monsters come back to life, and then melt together into mutated amalgams. Alphys told no one about her horrifying mistake, and it heavily impacted her self-esteem. Meanwhile, her experiments led her to inject determination into a flower in Asgore’s garden, which happened to have Asriel’s dust on it. Asriel’s conscience was reborn in the flower, but, lacking a SOUL, he could not feel any compassion or empathy.

Asriel called for his parents, but noticed with horror that he could not feel any love or affection for them. When he tried to explore the ruins he died, but woke up again in the garden. He soon realized that he could control timelines by being able to SAVE and reset. Calling himself Flowey, he started to play around. Sometimes he helped everyone around him (without feeling any true affection for them), and sometimes he killed them, just to see what would happen. Flowey became a ruthless sociopath, and eventually grew bored of other monsters, seeing them as nothing but scripted actors.

Frisk, the player character, arrives in the Underground and is the first human to arrive in a while. Having more determination than Flowey, they inadvertently steal the SAVE/Reset ability. They have a run-in with Flowey, who tries to kill them, but is thwarted by Toriel. Toriel graciously adopts Frisk, but Frisk is anxious to get home. Toriel is reluctant to let Frisk go, because she is certain that Asgore will kill them. She fights Frisk to make them prove their worth, and when Frisk survives, she lets them go, if she is not killed.
