In a world where the gods and goddesses are created to watch over mortals, their immortal priestess, Chara, has spent a thousand years spreading their word to humans. She and her brother, Asriel, meet a kind human girl named Frisk and become determined to make her immortal...
The concept of ImmortalTale is a simple one. It's based off the Greek Pantheon to a certain degree. Within this AU, each of the major characters of Undertale with the exceptions of Frisk and Chara are gods. There are a number of minor characters who are all original to this AU.
