Execution: Reader x Deltarune Story

Chapter 1: A Challenger Approaches

Y/N makes their way towards the supply closet. School is almost finished, yet Alphys had nonetheless requested Y/N to try to find Susie and Kris, who've been gone for a long while. Opening the supply closet's door, they don't see anything out of the ordinary. But they still feel.. odd. They still feel like they should explore the closet, just in case. They continue to make their way into the closet, going deeper and deeper. Eventually, Y/N finds themselves surrounded by darkness, then suddenly..

The floor under them disappears..

Then, they hit the ground. HARD.

"Damn!" Y/N says as they hit the ground, falling over.

Once they got up, Y/N looked around. The sky above them was pitch black, and a feeling of eeriness overwhelmed them. The ground below them is a dark, grey color. Nothing seems happy in this world..

Y/N decided to explore. They walked through the terrain, sliding down cliffs, and eventually they made it to a brighter area. They see a castle in the distance, and wondered what it's about. 

"Huh. Maybe I'll find answers there.."

Y/N picks up the pace, running now. They wander through the streets, through the forests, trying their hardest to get to the castle as quick as possible. Strangely, there was no-one around to interrupt Y/N's journey, which they found.. odd. "Hm..." Y/N muttered.

"How weird is this world? No inhabitants at all, yet there's tons of buildings and even a castle. Weird. I wonder how I get out of this place..."

Hours later, Y/N finally makes it to the castle. Once there, they finally see some inhabitants of this strange world. The inhabitants were gathered in a large crowd, surrounding something. The inhabitants looked odd, even for someone like Y/N, who was a monster themselves. Some looked like odd jigsaw pieces, others looked like weird cats, and some looked like gambling chips with legs. Yeah, they're definitely weirder than me. Y/N thought. They were cheering. But.. what of? Y/N began to move through the crowd, making their way to the front.

Then they saw what they were cheering about.

In the middle of the scene lies a pile of firewood and hay, with three people tied to a large wooden stake. These people were being executed. Y/N sees the faces of the people tied up. They recognise two of them, the bully and the quiet kid. Susie and Kris.

"What the..." Y/N says under their breath.

"The fuck are they doing there? Are they being.. executed? And who's that with them?"

Y/N says as they notice a goat-like creature wearing glasses and a green hat. He looks scared, while Susie is trying to break free. Kris, as usual, is emotionless. Y/N sees The King, who's sitting gleefully in a large throne.

"Huh. He must be the ruler of this world. Maybe he was the one who commanded this execution.." An odd creature that looks like slug with a diamond body over it slides its body to the execution platform, with a stick on fire. As it gets closer, the crowd's cheering and excitement rises higher and higher.

"Let the execution.. begin!" The King yells.
