BugTale - an Undertale Fanfic

This is the tale of a bug. A glitch that was never meant to exist, a bitter pill reality couldn't swallow. A strange anomalous being, found by Papyrus and observed by Sans, finds itself in the snowed-in town of Snowdin. Frustrated, concerned, and with a strange love for insects anchored by a determined mind, Bug must find the limit of reality, and the pillars of code maintaining its fragile stability. Her small form belies the tax her existence requires, with her soul a bugged out mess of errors and static, will she discover the truth of her origin, the secrets this world's files hold - - and will she remember to beware the man who speaks in hands? -x-x-x- This will not be an angst driven tale. It will explore the light and dark, show a realistic depiction of the characters we have all grown to love, or will grow to love in due time. The OC - "Bug" (Hence Bug-Tale, get it?), is not there to supplement any other character, nor is she meant to overshadow any of them. She is there to enhance this story and the wisdom the story seeks to share. She will never be a God and never be the main character (well she IS the main character, but the universe would go on without her). She will exist, one character among many, just like everyone else. Gaster and Frisk will be present, and handled with care. Your critique is welcomed. The characters are all either made by Toby Fox, or made by me. -/-/-/- It is an adaptation of the game Undertale. https://undertale.com/ The art of the book cover I got from Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/7177680651521835/ (I was gonna put Wingdings here, but Webnovel doesn't support it D:)

Weaves of Ashes

JAYDE Forged in the crucible of Xi Corporation’s labs, Jayde—once known only as SN1098—is a genetically engineered super soldier, her body honed to a razor's edge through decades of fighting humanity’s brutal wars. Her rebellion against her creators sparked a desperate battle for her people’s survival, only to end in betrayal and a fiery death on Crypso 3Q3U, her sacrifice shattering the corporate chains binding thousands of GESS lives. Yet death is not her end. Jayde awakens, impossibly, in the tortured body of a young girl on a strange world untouched by the technology she knew—no starships, no replicators, no blasters, only the primal pulse of magic. Bound to an ancient artifact pulsing with secrets, she must navigate a realm of powerful mages, mythical creatures, and lurking monsters, her old instincts clashing with the arcane forces now at her command. Her soul, scarred by battle and betrayal, carries a darkness that threatens to consume or redeem her as she carves a new path. REN Ren, the fierce demon king, stands as the last bulwark against his race’s extinction, his heart a furnace of primal fury. To save his people and halt the malevolent Zartonesh’s invasion of the realms, he must venture to the Lower Realm, where the Devil Wars first ignited. His fate entwines with a young woman—Jayde—whose soul, steeped in shadow, stirs the ancient beast within him. Her vast, untamed power could be the key to salvation or the doom of all he fights for, her presence a spark to his fire, a bond that could forge or shatter destinies. AN EPIC JOURNEY OF MAGIC AND REDEMPTION Jayde trades her blaster for a sword, stepping alone into a universe where magic hums like a Centauri war-chant, guided only by a mysterious artifact that whispers of forgotten truths. She journeys across dimensions, learning the art of spellcraft, forging alliances with unlikely companions, and facing enemies born of myth and nightmare. As she grapples with the darkness within her soul—a remnant of her past life’s pain and betrayal—she searches for her true-mate, a bond that could anchor or unravel her. Will she master the magic of this strange world and rise as its savior, or will the shadows she carries bring ruin to all she holds dear? WARNING: This tale unfolds as a slow-burning romance, weaving love and loss through a tapestry of magic, sacrifice, and defiance, as Jayde’s legacy burns brighter than any star. Author’s Note Hi everyone! A small heads-up before you dive in: I’m a new novelist, still learning, experimenting, and growing with every chapter I write. My stories tend to be long-winded, slow-burning, and very descriptive — I love painting the scenes in my head as vividly as possible, so sometimes I linger a little too long on the details. These are epic-length novels, full of worldbuilding, lore, and character depth, and while I do my best, they’re not professionally edited (yet!). You may spot the occasional typo, pacing oddity, or overly dramatic flourish — but I promise every word is written with passion, care, and love for the world and characters. Thank you for giving my story a chance, and for walking this journey with me

HEXSHOT - Marked by the Gun God, the Weakest Hunter Becomes a Legend

In Velmark, monsters are just part of life. If you want to survive—or protect anyone—you need to become a Hunter. And to become a Hunter, you need a divine Mark from the gods. Most people awaken early. Fifteen. Sixteen. Sometimes even at birth. Me? I made it to twenty-one with nothing. In Velmark, anyone who reaches twenty without a Mark can pretty much say goodbye. Dream on, because you’re never becoming a Hunter. I was just a countryside nobody living in the shadow of my older brother, chasing a dream that probably wasn’t meant for me. Then one day, it finally happened. A Mark burned itself onto the back of my hand. But... it wasn’t from some famous god of war or magic. It was from Hexaron—the forgotten Minor God of Guns and Technology. Apparently, even the other gods think he’s a joke. And the class he gave me? Hexshot. A revolver-based support class with only six magic bullets. Six shots, and then I’m useless. So yeah… people laughed. But what they don’t know is that I have a secret. Inside my head are memories that don’t belong to this world—memories of legendary gunsmiths from places long gone. And if those memories are real… Then maybe I can do something no Hexshot has ever done before. Become the greatest Gunslinger - "The Legendary Gun Saint" With Kohaku, my salamander Kindred at my side, rival Clans watching me closely, and the mysterious Aeon Pillars—towers that hold entire timelines—waiting for the Marked… My life as the weakest Hunter is only just beginning. And somehow… The Gun God’s “worst blessing” might change Velmark forever.

Arcane Replication | Foundation of Filth

They called him Defective and gave him a mop. Leo’s Awakening was a disaster.

But in the darkness, between the rat bites and the cold, something glitches. A flicker of power where none should exist. A hint that the system might have marked him wrong. This is not the story of a chosen hero. This is the story of the boy with the mop. The one everyone forgot.

The-Fleshbound

The Fleshbound Written by R. Antony Vimal Raj Agilan Shaktivel is an ordinary 18-year-old college student—quiet, introverted, and carrying the kind of everyday worries most people overlook. Between trying to focus on his studies, dealing with the pressure of expectations, and navigating the confusion of young adulthood, his life feels painfully ordinary. But deep beneath the surface, Agilan’s world is on the edge of something far darker. A strange wave of unexplained infections begins spreading through the city. What starts as minor abnormalities soon escalates into violent transformations that defy logic and science. Rumors swirl, fear grows, and authorities scramble for answers. In the middle of this rising chaos, fate pulls Agilan into events far beyond his control. After a life-changing incident, Agilan awakens with strange sensations in his body—movements under his skin, heightened instincts, and a mysterious, system-like interface only he can see. Something inside him is awake,that's Y'therax, the architect of the flesh codex system and it is anything but normal. As he tries to understand what is happening to him, he becomes entangled in the world of the infected, creatures whose origins seem connected to a disturbing, mold-like force lurking in the shadows. Agilan soon realizes that his newfound abilities carry both immense potential and terrifying consequences. Every step he takes drags him deeper into a conflict he never asked for—between humanity, the unknown infection, and the monstrous power growing within him. The Fleshbound blends emotional storytelling, dark fantasy, body-horror aesthetics, and system-based evolution. It follows Agilan’s journey as he grapples with identity, fear, power, and the burden of becoming something more—and something less—than human. In this world, strength has a cost. Choices have consequences. And Agilan must discover whether his new power is a curse, a weapon… or the only hope against the darkness to come.
