Nightmare Fuel / Incidence

Go To

WARNING: Spoilers Off applies to Nightmare Fuel pages, per wiki policy.

Just like the game it's based on, Incidence can get quite scary as well...sometimes getting darker, yet darker than the source material itself.

In General

  • Kris gains the power to reset while in the Dark World, with two ways to do so: either get killed by someone or something, or take their own life. Not exactly the greatest ways to do something like that, even if the death is temporary.

  • The mechanics of LV note  are expanded upon in the fic, with one side-effect of having it means that any monster in the proximity of someone with LV slowly but surely starts turning to dust, even if said person with LV isn't actually doing anything to harm them. On top of that, a person with high LV can instantly reduce monsters to dust with as little as a glare. LV doing this not only makes the stakes far higher for the heroes, especially for Noelle, Susie and Berdly, as any of the Knights could kill them with a look or a threatening gesture if they wanted to, but it makes it so that Kris has to be very careful to not gain LV and then touch a save point afterward, as it means that they wouldn't be able to be around their loved ones without slowly killing them.

  • The monsters who are mentioned to have passed on in the world of Deltarune haven't quite received such a fate here. Through means unknown, the Knights have trapped the Souls of the deceased monsters, forcing them to aid the Knights in bringing about the Roaring. It's implied that, despite being dead, the trapped monsters are cognizant enough to know what's happened to them, but can't do a thing to save themselves.
