Humans have lived on the surface ever since they won the war.
Humans as a whole are seen as evil by monsters, especially since Asgore declared to kill any human who enters the Underground. However, this negative per-view can be subjected to change. And most monsters do not know what a human looks like.
Human bodies are composed of physical matter, as opposed to monsters' more magical bodies. Because of this, human SOULs are not attuned to their bodies like monsters are. This trait allows their SOULs to persist after death. The physicality of human bodies also allows humans to carry higher concentrations of determination than a monster.
Monsters are a very diverse race. They dwell in the Underground beneath Mount Ebott, while humans live on the surface beyond the Barrier.
King Asgore Dreemurr rules all monsters in the Underground. After The War of Humans and Monsters, the humans from the Surface trapped the monsters underground. Despite the negative implication of the word "monsters," monsters are not an evil species. It is even said that monster SOULs are made of love, hope, and compassion.
Monsters are far weaker than humans, both in physical combat and regarding the strength of their SOUL. This inadequacy is because monsters are mostly made of magic, which in turn makes them attuned to their SOUL. The damage a monster receives from an attacker is dependent on both the monster's will to fight and the attacker's will to hurt. Monsters, however, can obtain an "unfathomable" amount of power when they absorb the SOUL of a human.
Monsters come in numerous shapes and sizes. Most monsters physically appear as anthropomorphic, non-human beings (animals, natural/artificial objects, supernatural beings, etc.), with the most notable species of monsters including skeletons like Sans and Papyrus, ghosts like Napstablook and Boss Monsters like Toriel and Asgore. Monsters SOULs are upside down and wholly white.
A monster's body is mostly made of magic and is attuned to its SOUL. When a monster gets old, they enter a state referred to as having "fallen down." A monster in this state lies immobile and dies shortly afterward. When a monster dies, their body turns into dust. This dust is often spread onto the owner's favorite thing in funerals so that their essence lives on in their possessions. Monsters' bodies and SOULs are closely linked; when a monster dies, their SOUL is lost forever. Boss Monsters are an exception, as their SOULs exist outside their bodies for a few moments before shattering.
Because of their magical nature, monsters' bodies cannot handle high concentrations of determination. When monsters are injected with it, their bodies liquefy and melt together. The Amalgamates are a clear example of this.
The SOUL is the very essence of one's being, whether one is human or monster. A SOUL takes on the form of a heart. Human SOULs point down in most cases, and monster SOULs point up.
A human SOUL and monster SOUL together can cross the Barrier, while seven human SOULs shatter it entirely.
The SOUL of a monster is upside down and white. A monster's SOUL is weak and does not persist after death unless said monster is a Boss Monster. Monsters believe that love, hope, and compassion compose their SOULs. Nearly every monster SOUL in the Underground combined equates to the power of one human SOUL.
A monster's SOUL is deeply attuned to their body. This is why a monster becomes weaker when an enemy gains EXP and LV, and why it becomes harder for monsters to fight when they are not inclined to do so. This trait is also why when a monster dies, their form dissipates as their SOUL disappears.
Human SOULs come in several colors, representing different traits and are stronger than monsters' SOULs. For this reason, human SOULs persist after death.
A human's SOUL is not the entirety of their being, but rather their essence, housed in a physical body. This is why humans are stronger than monsters when it comes to physical attacks. Alphys state that determination is a component of human SOULs, and she was able to extract it from the six fallen humans' SOULs. Due to determination, a human's SOUL is capable of maintaining its form after death.
It requires the power of (almost) every monster SOUL to equate the strength and determination of a single human SOUL. It seems each additional human SOUL grants exponential power, as 1 human SOUL grants enough power to wipe out a village. Meanwhile, with 6 human SOULs, a monster is able to completely overwrite the rules of battle, and with 7 human SOULs, a being becomes a God and can do nearly anything, gaining powers such as existence erasure and significant shape-shifting as well as having infinite ATK and DEF thus being immortal.
At the time, humans and monsters ruled the Earth. One day, humans attacked the monsters abruptly and mercilessly, out of fear of their only weakness: having their SOUL absorbed by a monster.
Monsters were too weak to put up a fight; the SOUL of nearly every monster combined is only just as strong as the power of one human SOUL. Countless monsters were massacred, without a single human SOUL taken. Few monsters survived, one of which was Gerson. Eventually, the monsters surrendered, and the humans emerged victorious. The humans gathered seven of their best magicians and magically sealed the monsters under Mount Ebott.
After the war, the monsters retreated into the deepest part of the Underground, which they called "Home." After a period had passed, fearing the humans no longer, they populated the rest of the Underground and made their capital in a place they called "New Home."
Monsters mostly blamed the war on humanity and took a vengeful look at the human race. This bitterness, especially after the death of Asriel and his adopted sibling, led King Asgore to declare war against humanity, installing a policy to kill all humans that fell into the Underground and eradicate humans once the seven SOULs needed to break the barrier are collected.
The Barrier is a strong magical force in Mount Ebott. It is locked by SOUL power and separates the Underground from the Surface. The barrier is located behind Asgore's throne Room in New Home, and appears to be a silent, endless room transiting from white to black. Somewhere within the floor are seven vials, six containing the six human SOULs.
Due to the War, seven human magicians conjured it to protect humanity and keep monsters trapped in the Underground. Anything, including humans, can fall through the barrier and enter the Underground's Ruins, where Toriel generally finds them. However, only a being with the SOULs of a human and a monster can pass through the barrier and exit the Underground. The barrier can be broken, though it requires a huge amount of power equal to seven human SOULs, or six human SOULs and the SOULs of monsterkind. Only eight humans have fallen through the barrier.
Beyond the barrier is a dark room with a sunlit patch of grass, and a purple arch depicting the Delta Rune.
GOLD (abbreviated as G) is the main currency used in the Underground.
