A room inside the ruins.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

Stone pillars surrounded by garlands, with grooves on top that seem to hold something.

It says 'One per person.' Take a candy? Yes/No.

You took a candy.

Lin Fan opened the menu to check.

"Monster Candy"—Heals 10 HP

It has a unique, non-licorice flavor.

"Oh, it's a healing item!" Lin Fan's eyes lit up. "Looks like there are still candies in the stone trough!"

Although it says one per person, how could I miss this opportunity?

You took another candy.

Disgusting...

Lin Fan felt a faint discomfort in his heart. Why does it say I'm disgusting? When I was a hero, I rummaged through villagers' homes, and they didn't seem to mind?

What will happen if I keep taking them?

You took another one.

You feel like a scumbag...

Lin Fan: ???

You took too much too fast, and the candies fell to the floor.

Look at what you've done...

Lin Fan suddenly felt an immense sense of absurdity, as if these words weren't directed at the in-game Lin Fan, but were mocking himself outside the screen.

How could that be? He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

During the exploration of the ruins, he encountered several battles, but he resolved them all with kindness.

The melancholic Wormy, constantly apologizing, fled in tears after hearing only half a word of comfort.

The bouncy Froggit, flattered by his praise, was successfully spared.

Lin Fan's mindset underwent some changes: "These monsters seem quite cute too? Like little kids, they stop fighting after a bit of coaxing. It seems Flowey was just deceiving me. But I wonder if the monsters ahead will be this easy."

A white ghost, soft and flat, was plastered on the ground like a rug, blocking Lin Fan's path.

zzzzzz...

Has he left yet?

zzzzzz...

This ghost was loudly saying "z" repeatedly, pretending to be asleep.

Lin Fan chuckled. "You could at least pretend to sleep properly!"

He forcefully pushed it aside and entered the battle scene.

In the dance floor-like, cheerful jazz music, Napstablook arrived, his big eyes looking a bit dull.

Check: Attack 10 Defense 10

This monster doesn't seem to have a sense of humor...

Napstablook didn't think so, seeming a bit narcissistic: "Oh, I'm really so witty..."

From its eyes, many teardrop-shaped bullet patterns flowed, but they only fell in the area below its eyes. Lin Fan controlled the heart to stay still on the left edge, easily dodging the attack.

Lin Fan was a bit curious, where's the threat?

You gave Napstablook a cold stare.

Napstablook seemed a bit hurt: "Go on, do what you want."

Inside the battle box, text appeared: "Sorry, I'm really not in the mood right now."

The heart shrank into a corner, waiting for the expected attack for a long time, but it never came. Lin Fan was a bit surprised.

It seems this ghost became depressed because of his coldness?

Napstablook regretted coming here.

"Maybe I should be gentler with it."

Comfort: You gave the ghost Napstablook a forgiving smile.

Many caterpillar-like bullet patterns flowed from Napstablook's eyes, falling to the bottom of the battle box, then crawling along the edge, and falling down again when they reached the top.

Lin Fan controlled the heart to dodge back and forth, still taking some damage.

The ghost Napstablook seemed a little better.

"Each monster seems to have its own unique bullet pattern attack style, using different bullet patterns to reflect the monster's personality, which is quite interesting," Lin Fan pondered. "Encouragement seems to have made it better? Then let's continue to encourage it!"

Your encouragement seems to have further improved Napstablook's mood.

The ghost Napstablook seems to want to show you something.

In the lyrical and cheerful jazz music, teardrop bullet patterns flowed from Napstablook's eyes again, but this time they didn't fall down, but flew up!

As the bullet patterns flew up, a top hat that looked very gentlemanly gradually grew on its head.

Showing off: "I call it 'Napstablook Gentleman,' do you like it...?"

The ghost Napstablook eagerly awaited your response.

Lin Fan couldn't help but smile: "This ghost is too cute! Who said it has no sense of humor."

Moreover, after becoming friends with this ghost, it doesn't want to hurt itself, and the bullet patterns it emits actually fly upwards! Lin Fan was a little touched.

After encouraging it again, the battle was won.

But such a victory still did not gain experience points.

...

Walking out of the maze, he came to a large tree with all its leaves fallen.

Toriel's figure appeared, she was a little anxious and muttered to herself: "Oh dear, this is taking longer than I thought."

While walking, she took out her phone, undoubtedly to make a call to Lin Fan.

However, she suddenly saw Lin Fan behind the tree, and was instantly stunned.

She hurriedly ran forward to check Lin Fan's condition: "How did you get here, my child? Are you hurt?"

"Good, good, let me heal you." Toriel's tone was full of guilt. "I shouldn't have left you alone for so long. Trying to surprise you in this way was irresponsible.

Uh... I can't hide it anymore. Come on, little one!"

"Toriel is so gentle, I wonder what surprise she has prepared?" Lin Fan couldn't help but think, and followed her.

The building ahead should be Toriel's house. There is a sparkling star at the pile of fallen leaves at the door.

"This cute, tidy little house in the ruins filled you with determination.

Ruins-Home file saved."

Having been accustomed to the purple tones symbolizing mystery in the ruins, the creamy white floor color immediately made people feel refreshed upon entering the house, giving a relaxed feeling of unloading a burden after an exam.

The strings of a wooden guitar were gently plucked, elegant and soft, like foam-like waves gently lapping against the shore, romantic men and women holding hands and strolling slowly on the beach in the charming red glow of the sunset, simple and elegant pink carnations, exuding a warm fragrance.

This is a warm, safe home.

"Do you smell it? Surprise! It's a butterscotch cinnamon pie."

It turned out that Toriel had left for so long to prepare this.

Toriel faced Lin Fan, her expression looking very happy, her hands clasped together in front of her abdomen, dignified and kind, like a true mother, no one could associate the word "monster" with her in the slightest.

"I think we should celebrate your arrival, I hope settling here will make you happy."

Lin Fan's brows furrowed slightly, he read something wrong in this sentence: "Settle down here? I am a human, I must return to the surface world, why settle down here?"

"Come here, I have another surprise for you."

Toriel held Lin Fan's hand, seemingly looking at Lin Fan behind her with the corner of her eyes, her side profile kind and beautiful, even in pixel art, one could feel the infinite care and love in her eyes.

Walking to a room, Toriel said: "A room of your own. I hope you like it!"

After speaking, she gently stroked Lin Fan's head.

"I didn't expect to be head-patted..." Lin Fan was a little moved, murmuring, "What a warm scene, Toriel is so heartwarming."

"Is something burning?" Toriel seemed to suddenly smell something. "Well, please walk around and familiarize yourself first."

After speaking, she hurriedly left.

"Maybe the butterscotch pie is burning..."

Lin Fan decided to explore the house first.
