--Chapter 1:Lacking Foundations--

"The story of Undertale is all about SOULs. What they’re made of. The trials they face. And how, through Determination, they can keep going, even when damaged."

..Okay, is there a prequel to this theory I'm supposed to read first? Please, link me the preresequites. I need the foundational theories that you build this one off of-Else it just looks like those old alchemic theories-Ones that seemed good, but had no basis to them. I'm not convinced that this is the story of Undertale. Allow me to elaborate my take on the "story" of Undertale.

The story of Undertale is about a fallen kingdom of monsters, that declared war on humanity out of rage, and as a way of freeing themselves from the prison. However, we, Frisk, show them that killing isn't the answer, and we free everyone in the end, minus the tragic hero Asriel. It's also a story about how even some people who appear to be just villains, were once heroes, until they fell. Tragic incidents create villains, and usually, they can be reformed. I say "usually" because of both Asriel's disclaimer at the end about not everything being solved by being nice, and the fact that we can't reform Chara in Soulless Pacifist.

It also has many side stories, but if there is indeed a "main idea", it's that. I of course don't search for such a concept, and instead judge the universe of Undertale by its own merits, as a scientist would judge our universe.

"Monsters souls contain the powers of compassion and magic. While humans souls are stronger, yet darker. They are able to persist after death with their Determination, but also able to exist without compassion, and are always at risk of becoming The Real Monsters."

I'm still convinced that monsters can be dark as well because of Kanashi, and that since the book only claims that people SAY monster SOULs are made of compassion, odds are, we can't rely on this.

Kanashi absorbed a human SOUL. And I don't see how that can be for anything but darkness.

The glyphs answered why the humans were afraid. It was because of the monsters' ability to absorb a human SOUL. This was EXPLICITLY STATED, in the glyphs that I stated before made it blatantly clear.

The humans more than likely learned by the existence of Kanashi that such a thing was possible. This kind of fear is what lead to the war. However, the question we have to raise is simple-How could Kanashi have done this.. WITHOUT having some kind of darkness within them? The humans attacked based on the power of such a beast.

The story of the war is likely a complex one.. One that needs the Kickstarter second game to explain. (And as I've shown, that game is not Deltarune.)
