The Tantibus.
Almost no-one knows its true purpose.
To torment.
To hurt.
To remind.
So what happens when such a thing escapes its confines? When a creature born on pain and Nightmares escapes into the Dreamscape?
Simple really, you play a game.
Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle and Flare Blitz enter the Dreamscape and find themselves playing the Tantibus’ game. And they’re not the only ones.
A group of humans that use the Dreamscape as a game are caught up as well. Rez and his friends are about to play a game like none other.
Because, this Nightmare knows how to fight back...

When a consistent anomaly is located in the futuristic K-Project network, a hacker decided to check it out. Soon after, he finds himself dealing with issues in two worlds at once, while they cascade upon each other and this "magic" thing from the other world begins to leak through the boundaries.

Don't forget to read the author notes, especially chapter 1. Feedback is appreciated.

Chapters with two-letter tags next to the numbers can be considered sidestories, but all are important to the story as a whole, and they tend to interweave. The only real difference is where the action takes place and with who. Despite what was written in this paragraph originally, DO NOT SKIP especially later on.

If I link to a music video (YouTube video with music) in-story, I highly recommend you listen to it, whether you watch it or not. If there are lyrics as in people singing, you need to listen to it in the background or already know the song to know what's going on. Otherwise, you miss out, and I don't want that to happen. Probably neither do you.
