AND PEER INTO THE ENDLESS NOTHINGNESS.

WE SHALL BEGIN BY FORMING THE "AVATAR"

* Mushroom Dance, Mushroom Dance~
* Whatever could it mean?
* Well, it symbolises my enthusiasm to help you, kind stranger!
* You came from outside, didn't you?
* People like you are so rare around here.
* I did too at one point, but alas, I'm trapped down here, just like you!
* I believe we can both make it back there, but first
* I've got to show you how things are done around here.
* I'll make this simple.

WORLD ON FIRE

This is TRACK 100 for the indie RPG known as "EPOCH of DECLINE." 

{ This is the MEGALOVANIA replacement for my and @ribimaka's hypothetical take on "SWAPFELL." }
{ Inspiration for the AU's name is taken from "Secret of Mana." }

===

This is possibly the most ambitious "UNDERTALE" related project I have ever created, and the first I am immensely proud of.
Credit to "Toby Fox," "Vic the Underfella," and "Khoppang" for creating "UNDERTALE," "UNDERFELL," and "SWAPFELL" respectively.
Thank you to @ribimaka for creating the thumbnail art, helping with writing, and the song's title. <3

[Introductory Dialogue]

===

* cruelty.

* your inhumane acts of slaughter surpass even the likes of the many barbarians that fell here.
* i ask this of you, why?
* what drove you to make this decision?
* such rash, mindless brawn...
* ...

* the life cycle here is straightforward.
* defend yourself. fight to live. if one is to get in your way, it is a matter of life or death.
* but you are different. 

* you went out of your way to uphold brutality.
* ravaging all you come into contact with, and purposefully seeking more.
* you are a blight upon this world.
* a stain to be wiped, a blemish to be cured. 
* and if i am to be the last who stands before you...

{ SOUL flicker transition into battle. }
{ First attack would happen, with little chance to anticipate it coming. }

* I will purge you from every medium of this shattered world.

[Repentance Dialogue]
{ This is the “spare” (repent) dialogue replacement. No intermission to spare Papyrus is given between phases. You have to REPENT multiple times in the fight. }
- Dialogue by @ribimaka.

===

[ * (I cry.) ]
[ * (I cry.) ] 
[ * (I keep crying.) ] 
[ * (Tears stream down my face.) ] 
[ * (It’s all so sad. I keep crying.) ]
[ * (…) ]
[ * (Papyrus stares right through me.) ]

* …
* what are you trying to prove with this?
* that you can be redeemed after the atrocities caused in your wake?
* you have left our kind to rot without a moment of contrition, and you think you can be even remotely forgiven?
* you sicken me.

[ * (It’s true.) ]
[ * (Deep down, I know I am unforgivable.) ]
[ * (It’s hopeless, is it not?) ]
[ * (Atonement? For THIS?) ]
[ * (I made my choice long ago.) ]
[ * (There is no going back.) ]

{ The MERCY button is shattered. }

===

[Check Text]
[ * (PAPYRUS - 30 DEF 30 ATK) ] 
[ * (Only one thing I can do now.) ]
[ * (I wish I could say I was sorry.) ]
 
===

[Flavor Text]
{ Instead of KARMA, you are afflicted with "GUILT" (GT) in this fight. GUILT is an effect that causes the player to take more damage and lose rational thinking. Using an ITEM may result in a wrong selection being made, for example. } 
- Idea conceptualized by @ribimaka.

===

[ * (The GUILT from my sins weighs me down.) ] @ribimaka

[ * (Coward.) ] @ribimaka

[ * (I feel myself losing track of thought, the gravity of my actions overtaking me.) ]

[ * (The damned call for my departure, and I feel the compulsion to agree.) ]

{ Rubble and ruin around you are intertwined with red vines. Their pattern might seem random at first, but they all lead to one point. }
{ ...Why does it smell of cork? }

S] Wait where's Jerome?

N] HE FOLLOWED THE FLYING INFANT.

S] Are you serious? He- He was right next to me a moment ago!

18 - Red Trails

S] Alright, we've spent enough time fooling around.
S] No more games. We have to get going.

J] Aw, you're no fun, Snozzy Sniffer!
J] One more game, one more!

S] Listen, it was fun.
S] But I have important papers to- 

{ Jerome casts a grenade inches out of reach! It barely grazes Simon! }

S] HEY! THE HELL!?

J] One-on-one friendly scuffle.
J] And I promise we will get back to our business in no time!

S] I'm not fighting you, Jerome.
S] End of the conversation. Now get out of the way.

{ Jerome blocks the way! }
J] Nah-uh!

{ Jerome blocks the way, again! }
J] Nah!
J] C'mon, Simon!
J] Or are you scared you're not gonna win without that big bucket o' bolts?

S] ...
S] You asked for this, rövhatt.

J] Yeah, remember, just a friendly sparring match!..

{ BATTLE! }
{ You're fed up with his smug teethy grin. }

20 - 口火 and AVTRYCKARE

UNLIMITED POWER

Found within the unused Sound Test room in the game.

Trouble Dingle

Hauntingly melodic track with soft strings and echoing piano tones, weaving a mysterious and romantic mood. This instrumental piece blends classical influences with a sad, reflective vibe, perfect for quiet nights.

Romantic Echo

Do you like tabletop RPGs or computer games in that style? I was interested in them before I picked up playing the guitar. Above all, I enjoyed creating my own worlds, NPCs, maps, and even my own systems. Then my favorite role was running them for others. Have fun!
