UNDERTALE × STORYSHIFT — THE KINGDOM OF EBBITT

WORLD SETTING

Long ago, humans and monsters fought a devastating war.

But unlike the original history of Undertale, the war did not end with the monsters being sealed underground forever.

The barrier was eventually broken, and humans and monsters slowly learned to live together.

Generations later, both Undertale's world and the Storyshift timeline have merged into a single reality.

Humans and monsters now live together on the surface.

At the center of this strange new world is a massive human kingdom known as Ebbitt.

Ebbitt is an enormous kingdom surrounded by forests, mountains, rivers, farmland, and smaller settlements. Humans make up most of the population, but monsters have become an accepted part of everyday life.

Monster-owned shops stand beside human businesses.

Humans attend schools with monsters.

Monster guards patrol alongside human knights.

Magic is no longer considered impossible.

And yet, beneath the peaceful surface of Ebbitt lies something very few people know about.

THE JUDGES

There are three mysterious individuals within Ebbitt who possess the ability to judge the actions of others.

They are:

Sans

Chara

Noll

Each of them possesses their own method of determining whether someone deserves punishment, mercy, or another chance.

However, none of the three publicly announces that they are Judges.

In fact, most of Ebbitt doesn't even know that Judges exist.

SANS — THE LAZY JUDGE

Sans lives in Ebbitt like an ordinary monster.

He jokes.

He sleeps.

He works when he feels like it.

He visits the local Grillby-style restaurant and spends time bothering people with terrible jokes.

But underneath his lazy personality is the mind of someone who understands timelines better than almost anyone.

Sans watches people.

He remembers patterns.

He notices when reality changes.

And when someone has committed terrible acts, Sans can become something very different from the goofy skeleton everyone knows.

He is one of the Judges.

But he doesn't tell Noll.

And Noll doesn't tell him.

At least, neither knows for certain that the other is a Judge.

CHARA — THE SHARP JUDGE

Chara lives within Ebbitt as another mysterious resident.

Unlike Sans, Chara is far more observant and direct.

Chara has an unusual understanding of human behavior and the strange mechanics governing souls, determination, EXP, and LV.

Chara doesn't necessarily believe that everyone deserves punishment.

Instead, Chara believes that actions should have consequences.

Chara secretly serves as another Judge.

However, Chara has never publicly revealed this.

Sometimes Chara notices Noll watching someone.

Sometimes Noll notices Chara observing the same person.

Neither says anything.

There is an unspoken suspicion between them.

NOLL — THE UNKNOWN JUDGE

And then there is Noll.

human living quietly within Ebbitt.

Noll appears completely ordinary.

He wears his black hoodie, white shirt, gloves, dark pants, shoes, and black star necklace.

He occasionally smokes a cigarette or cigar while sitting somewhere quiet.

Nobody suspects that the seemingly ordinary possesses 99 ATK, 99 DEF, and 300 HP while remaining at LV 1.

Even fewer people know about Darkmoor.

And absolutely nobody knows that Noll is a Judge.

Noll has deliberately kept his position secret.

He doesn't wear a badge.

He doesn't announce himself.

He doesn't walk around telling people:

"I am the Judge."

Instead, he watches.

He listens.

And when someone crosses a line that cannot be ignored, Noll decides what happens next.

THE THREE JUDGES

The strangest part is that all three Judges are living in the same kingdom.

Sans.

Chara.

Noll.

All three are watching the same world.

All three understand that something is wrong with reality.

All three can sense changes in timelines.

But none of them realize just how closely connected they are.

Sometimes Sans looks at Noll and feels something familiar.

Sometimes Chara looks at Noll and wonders why his LV refuses to make sense.

Sometimes Noll catches Sans staring at him.

Sometimes Chara notices Noll's strange soul.

But nobody says anything.

The secret remains intact.

EBBITT

Ebbitt is a peaceful kingdom, but it isn't perfect.

Humans and monsters coexist, yet disagreements still happen.

Some humans distrust monsters.

Some monsters distrust humans.

There are criminals.

There are corrupt officials.

There are monsters who abuse magic.

There are humans who abuse their power.

There are people who genuinely want peace.

And there are people who pretend to want peace.

That's what makes Ebbitt such an interesting place for the three Judges.

Because every day gives them another person to judge.

THE STORYSHIFT EFFECT

Because the Undertale and Storyshift universes have merged, reality itself is unstable.

Characters sometimes remember things that never happened.

People occasionally recognize someone they have never met.

Personalities can shift.

Roles can overlap.

Events from one timeline sometimes replace events from another.

A person might suddenly remember being someone completely different.

A monster might remember being human.

A human might remember living underground.

And occasionally, someone remembers multiple timelines at once.

Noll is particularly sensitive to these changes.

His Storyshift Echo ability allows him to see fragments of alternate versions of reality.

Sans can sense the changes.

Chara can sometimes remember them.

But none of them fully understand why the timelines merged.

THE SECRET OF DARKMOOR

Noll's knife remains his greatest secret.

Darkmoor looks like an ordinary dark-colored knife.

Nobody knows what it truly does.

Nobody knows that every successful strike can inflict Karma.

Nobody knows that the Karma effect becomes stronger against people who have caused suffering.

Noll doesn't advertise it.

He doesn't explain it.

He simply keeps Darkmoor hidden beneath his clothing until he actually needs it.

Even Sans hasn't seen the full extent of Darkmoor's power.

And Chara certainly hasn't.

OPENING SCENE

It is another ordinary evening in the Kingdom of Ebbitt.

The sun is beginning to disappear behind the distant mountains.

Humans walk through the streets.

Monsters close their shops.

Children run through the kingdom's central plaza.

Magic lights illuminate the streets as night approaches.

Noll sits alone near the edge of the town.

His black hoodie is pulled loosely around him.

His white shirt is visible underneath.

His black gloves rest against his knees.

The small star hanging from his necklace catches the fading sunlight.

A cigarette rests between his fingers.

Noll quietly watches the people passing by.

He doesn't know that someone else is watching him.

Across the street, Sans stands against a building with his hands in his pockets.

His expression is casual.

But his eyes aren't.

A short distance away, Chara is also watching.

Three people.

Three Judges.

None of them knows the truth about the others.

Sans eventually looks toward Chara.

Chara notices.

Then Chara looks toward Noll.

Noll slowly turns his head.

For a brief moment, the three make eye contact.

Nobody speaks.

Then Sans grins.

"heh."

Chara narrows their eyes.

Noll simply takes another drag from his cigarette.

None of them realizes that tonight will be the night everything changes.

Because somewhere beneath Ebbitt...

Something has entered the kingdom.

Something that shouldn't exist in either timeline.

And for the first time in years...

all three Judges are about to receive the same target.
