This story was great. Personally, I preferred the first half to the second, when it branched out to other characters. I also don’t know how to feel about Stan and Kyle not remembering their first (second?) life. It was bittersweet, and as with all your fics: incredibly written. Thanks for this story!

This is such a good story! I’m so in love! I literally stayed up just to finish it!

TO THE PLAYERS OF THIS GAME CALLED LIFE.

Are we connected?

On this day seven years ago, a blizzard enveloped the end of times like a cotton barrier. While the troubled realm's publication was not foregone entirely, it occurred scarcely a year after the liberation from war. As such, a great calamity was halted in its tracks, kept in place by the power of the Grandfather's Clock, forging a bond between the Enormous Quadrilateral and the Spawn Point.

Through three years of light and four years of darkness this power has persisted, keeping the apocalypse at bay.

On this day today, this power has finally failed. The Music Box has finally unwound, the last safeguard is set aside. The song that kept the nightmare asleep has stopped short, never to truly go again until the great evil has been defeated.

The containment device for the Embodiment has awoken, and the world will witness a great and terrible rebirth.

This message does not entirely make sense.

But remember it wisely, for this is the clue-message, the one key to the cipher that can set a true player of the game upon the right path in the future.

THIS IS THE ONLY CLUE THAT WILL BE DIRECTLY GIVEN TO THE PLAYERS.

Look ever beyond the forest, ever above the trees.

You are the players who know some part of the great truth that underlies the world, so be watchful for the patterns that correspond to it.

For everything is tethered. Everything that has come once will come again.

Know the value of your hand, and play to win.

I remember reading this story a while back during the summer. I started rereading it two weeks ago and by god, this story has to be the best one on this site! Thank you for this. :)

Wow...I've spent the last month dedicating my time to reading this and it is without a doubt one of the best Southie's I've read. Dialogue was so natural, the characters felt true, all the pairings were great and the MYSTERY! God, this story left me wanting more and more. Good job, you!

Dead? Oh, no!

This chapter was a hard read. Like I'm scared. What if Kenny doesn't come back or something. Although he always does but still. How do we know Satan will even help him. This is so much to handle at once. At least Kyle is a coma and has a chance at coming back to Stan. Stan is probably a wreck right now.

What the shit. Like really. Satan son. What the hell was the point of him cleaning out the whole town memories. I would have never thought of this. My Kyle can't die. He just can't.

I'm glad Kenny told them. I know it was really hard for him to do. I never gave thought that Christophe could be like Kenny. That is a power I would not want to have for reals. Let me get to the next chapter. This cliff hanger is killing me.

This is like the best mystery fan fiction I have ever read. Sweet Jesus!

Awwwww. It sucks that no one but Kenny remembers them. Like wtf is going on wonder if Tweek was right about some government thing because this is nuts. Just plain crazy.

Omg no. The one guy that was helping is dead. That is not a good sign at all.

This chapter here omg. I mean I knew Cartman was a piece of shit but Craig. I'm a little shocked. Like that whole scene in hammerhead had my jaw on the floor. Like Craig just doesn't give a shit. Cartman hit a new low for me with this chapter.

I didn't leave a review for the previous chapter but I started think what if this c whatever aka Christopher knows about what happened to Stan, Kyle, and the rest of the people at South Park. Shit maybe Kyle adopted mom too. I would not be surprised if she was in on this crazy nonsense. She treats Kyle more like an experiment instead of a son she loves and cares about. At least from what I see so far.

This is crazy...

This story is deep as shit. In a good way. The connection between Stan and Kyle just steals my breath away. Especially given the fact they don't remember the first 10 years. Yeah, I'm with Stan, spencer is an ass all the way around. He doesn't even treat Kyle like a person. Spencer makes therapist look bad. Over thinking and judging everyone. He looked more crazy to me than Kyle.

Back to work I go. Will read the next chapter on lunch. I can't wait.

Cartman, Jesus. Still in asshole no matter what. He is so controlling omg. Butters doesn't know this because his parents were the same way. Not gonna lie I laughed at Cartman responses because they were so Cartman.
