[Creepypasta] Dark Donald no quiere desaparecer de mi MUGEN

Recap

Eleven-year-old Kenny remembers March 2016 as the month his favorite game, MUGEN, became a nightmare. A black-and-white version of Ronald McDonald called Dark Donald appears in a fight, defeats him almost instantly, and later returns with a jumpscare. Kenny deletes MUGEN, but the clown keeps showing up even after the computer is formatted and the game is reinstalled.

With his friend Nicolás away sick, Kenny turns to Diego, a software-savvy boy Nicolás introduces him to. Diego suggests the bizarre events are likely tricks built into MUGEN and explains its famously overpowered “Nugget” characters—while insisting the supposedly game-destroying “Dragon Tier” characters are just an urban legend. His explanation calms Kenny, at least temporarily.

But MUGEN’s increasingly strange episodes keep raising the stakes. Kenny is led through cryptic fights and messages, including a bizarre final boss: Homer Simpson dressed as the devil. Later, Diego supplies powerful characters for Kenny to use against Dark Donald. Their battle becomes a frantic series of increasingly unsettling Ronald variants, ending with a character that finally appears to defeat him.

Then the game reveals something far worse: disturbing footage of a man identified as Arthur Bennett Jr., followed by photos of Kenny and a strange girl. Kenny faints from terror and wakes surrounded by his family. A technician later blames a rootkit Trojan for the computer’s behavior, but the explanation doesn’t account for everything—and Nicolás’s sudden death soon after Kenny’s fainting adds another layer of unease.

Years later, Kenny revisits the events and finds clues that make the “just a virus” explanation feel less convincing. His father had business dealings with Arthur, who disappeared, and old messages hint at a suspicious investment. The story ends with Kenny wondering whether he was betrayed by the person who raised him—and laughing as he claims that “from that day on, I have the crown.” Whether the threat was malware, something supernatural, or something even more personal is left ominously uncertain.

Notable moments: Kenny’s brief triumph when Chuck Norris defeats Dark Donald; the ridiculous Homer-as-the-devil boss fight; his aunt’s joke about hiding the Wi-Fi modem so the family will actually talk; and the final twist that turns the apparent victory into a much darker mystery.
