Long ago, two races ruled over the Earth:Humans and monsters. According to the first screen, they lived with each other as early as the Stone Age-They may have even had a relatively close common ancestor. They lived in peace for many centuries, until one day, the monsters show their true power.. The SOUL of a human being taken away, brings a monster unfathomable power, enough to destroy all of mankind. (More on that here) So, the humans declared war on the monsters. Based on the image of the war, this happened somewhere between the 9th-11th century. (So, 800-1100) Because they were caught by surprise, they were in a weaker state, as a monters' stats drop if they do not want to fight. United, the humans were too strong, and won the war. Seven mages created a barrier, banishing the monsters underground, that could only be broken by a power equivalent to seven human SOULs-The power used to create the barrier.

The monsters, fearing the humans, set out to the end of the caverns, until they reached the end of them, building HOME. Asgore gets himself a nickname Fluffybuns (ask Gerson where that came from), and they stay for a while, until they no longer fear the humans-Due to nobody coming in many years. In the year 201X in the monster calendar, they set out on a journey to the other side of the Underground, to reach the Barrier. Towns are established along the way, like Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland. (Ruins' calendar is at the start of 201X, when they left. New Home's calendar is the END of 201X, "The date I came.")

During the journey, Chara Dreemurr falls- climbing the mountain due to hating humanity. (The Ruins only had one bed-Chara's is nowhere to be found. Also, Chara must have fell after the Waterfall portion of the journey, for the plaques say a human will never fall, so it must be before Chara did. On the monster calendar, it's still 201X, but as you'll learn later on, a more likely time period for Chara to fall in the HUMAN calendar is around the 10th-13th century. (900-1300) They're taken in as another child of the Dreemurs, becoming friends with Asriel. Eventually, Chara comes up with a plan to free the monsters, but unknown to Asriel, it was also to destroy humanity. (They weren't lying about freeing monsters, though.) Chara died, and Asriel absorbed their SOUL. The two picked up Chara, taking them to the flowers, when the humans see them, assuming Asriel killed Chara, due to having a human SOUL, and holding a dead body. This was Chara's plan-To finally answer the question-Why do they hate humanity? It was also to help Asriel not feel guilty about killing those humans, especially when it's to free the monsters. However, Asriel refused, and ended up getting killed.

Asgore declares war against humanity, causing Toriel to leave in disgust to the Ruins. Meanwhile, the Royal Scientist Gaster helps create the CORE, and overall advances science far quicker than the humans did. Monsters become superior to humanity in technology, all because of the brilliant Dr. Gaster. Nobody would ever be as brilliant as he was.

Another century passes, or maybe 2. Another human falls Underground, becoming Toriel's next child. Because of her grief over the lost Asriel, she brought in new children, hoping they would fill in the hole that Asriel left behind... To help her get over Asriel and Chara... Alas, the child of bravery leaves Toriel behind, and later gets himself killed by the Royal Guard, and their SOUL sent to Asgore.

More and more humans fall, and get killed off. At some point during this, Gaster brings forth Sans and Papyrus, works with them, alanalyzing the timeline, and they discover a mysterious anomaly. Yes, that's where Sans got his badge from. Gaster later falls into his own creation, his own experiment.. The very experiment of Entry 17. What happened to Gaster after that? Well, that's a theory all on its own! Stay tuned... (Everyone forgetting Gaster DOES make sense if my theory is correct... Along with the mysterious "popped into existence" explanation of Sans and Papyrus.)

After Gaster fell, there was no Royal Scientist-Asgore needed a new one. Sans would be the new Royal Scientist... But he was too lazy. Instead, Dr. Alphys got the job, because she helped create Mettaton, by allowing Hapstablook to possess a robotic body to become a star. Meanwhile, Undyne trains with Asgore, until she eventually joins. She then meets Alphys in a dump, while looking for cool swords to wield. Afterwards, she trained some more, and became the HEAD of the Royal Guard.

As more humans fell, Undyne fought them viligantly, though she did get damaged in the eye by the SOUL of Justice, and the SOUL of kindness tried to teach Undyne how to cook with their frying pan... But it didn't go well.

Soon after the sixth (actually seventh) human fell, Papyrus found out about the Royal Guard, and wanted to join. He asked to join, but was shut out because it was midnight. He was still there when Undyne woke up, so she started to train him. Of course, because of how nice he was, Undyne figured he wouldn't actually become one, so she started teaching him how to cook.

Meanwhile, Alphys conducts research on the SOUL, and discovers the power of determination. She injects a dead flower, the very flower that Chara brought down from the surface world, with determination, to see what happens. Asriel's essence reawakens inside that flower, creating Flowey. Alphys tries reawakening dead monsters with determination, but that results in a big disaster (The Amalgamates). A disaster so big, that Alphys loses all her confidence, and even moved to the garbage dump for a while.

Flowey plays around with the timeline many, MANY times, until he's seen everything. Bored, he just waits it out, and the next human falls. Then, the events of Undertale happen, followed by the possible destruction of humanity. (No humans appear in the ending. Once again, more info here)
