Chapter 2 - Nightmares (Extract)
The Narrator: What's that meant to mean? Unlike you, I'm not capable of having nightmares or being afraid.

The Narrator: "Regardless of what's changed, she's not the only one with powers over this Construct!"

Voice of the Hero: What?

The Narrator: Uh..forget you heard that, I'm not giving My plan away!
Just how many versions of her are there anyway? If I'm to find out that you're in any way in league with her, I'd rather not face whatever's next..sober.
I hear her harsh voice carry down the stairs..

The Princess: Not so fun being chained to a wall is it? Don't worry Narrator, You'll get out..soon enough.

[To be continued...]
The Narrator: No! You can't leave things here, a better writer would finish this story..!

Background
Thanks for reading!

Special thanks to the developers at Tabby Games for making a wonderful game and memorable characters, and artwork. Also thank you to the fantastic community on the Reddit, the Discord, forum and elsewhere for sharing quotes, stories and artwork. I was inspired by the fanfic writing of butterenergy, u/Fanatical_Obsession (Thorn series), u/registeredpyromaniac, u/Young_Person_42, u/Darkprince113, u/Dr_Swordsmith
and other fan authors.

Credit to this community and TV Tropes for helping Me find in-game quotes,

I started writing in January and was initially planning on releasing all 2-3 chapters simultaneously later on (likely after the Pristine Cut or after our own indie game Aura of Worlds was released). However after seeing another fan-fiction story by u/Young_Person_42 on swapping roles I got inspired to post.

Suggestions are welcome!

Have always been interested in exploring the idea of the Narrator dealing with laser guided Karma and what would happen if they bought him back long after the events of the game (The Princess wouldn't be so keen without some conditions attached..)

Marked Spoilers above

  1. "Yeah I definitely shouldn’t mention any more spoilers like that we found The Princess was immortal, definitely shouldn’t tell you that We saved her or that We ascended to a new universe with her."
  2. "Sorta, We slayed each other for a while, then after finding neither of Us could die, We resolved Our differences."

Is this gonna be continued?

[–]glider521alπŸ‘» πŸ—‘οΈ the Narrator[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thanks for the interest. There are two more chapters planned.

I need to get the indie roguelite - Aura of Worlds released in June/July September this year with some months of follow up development and then I can resume writing.

This is literally UCN for the narrator and I'm all in for it

Hehe, he'll be up against more than 5 vessels later πŸ™ƒ 
I'm glad the game has a loop ending

There must be a route that can left The Narrator just screaming for help William Afton style. "Garry don't leave me here..." type beat.

The only thing that bothers me is: Where slayer?

[–]glider521alπŸ‘» πŸ—‘οΈ the Narrator[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watching from just outside the cabin (and other places) and communicating telepathically with the other characters (labelled as player).

You have the option tell the Narrator everything (which could spoil some of the fun of some of the vessels/voices) or to intervene (but that would break the agreement).

Thanks!

I love i! I despise the Narrator for what he did to the Long Quiet and the Princess, so I’m going to love seeing him get a good taste of his own medicine! πŸ‘Ή

is there any more of this?

[–]glider521alπŸ‘» πŸ—‘οΈ the Narrator[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Sorry there's currently only one chapter, I had to put this on hold, due to the work involved in managing the release of our indie game (Aura of Worlds)
