"I see....only darkness....before me..."

It was a Faustian deal...I knew that going in. It was asking judgement day to come to Equestria, but I believed that saving her was worth any cost. I don't know if I was right or not, but I do know that we have to do it without her -- that I have to do it without her.

So come, Arthas. I'm ready. I do not fear death...and I do not fear you!

After dying in an accident, a simple well read human spends his afterlife in a void with only his memories of an old life. That is, until his mind was forcefully moved into another world, without the body of his own. But what will he do, when he... acquire one?

P.S. I'll draw cover art later, illustrations Wil be there as well.

P.P.S. Gore and violence will not be the main theme of the fic.

This is the story of a man and his destiny and it starts the day he died...and become the gamer!

I do not own anything I use in this story other then the character deltorix, I'm writing this for entertainment so I'm within fair use

Tags will be added when needed, and for those who think this is a self insert it's not deltorix is my OC and his personality is different then mine.

*Please read the entire description* Go to bed one day, and woke up as some kind of fusion of a werewolf and dragon. I doubt i'll ever learn what happened but at least I have my knowledge on how to hunt and survive in the wild so I might as well do something with it. Time to call upon my inner Monster Hunter and take care of some beasts.

I've been wanted to do a non-Displaced story for a while but since I tend to do more Adventure then Slice of Life stories I figured I'd stick with what I know. While I'm going to avoid bringing in lore or people from other series but I'm making an exception to monsters and races because so far Equestria doesn't have the widest selection of monsters. I am going to give let everyone know where the beasts come from and I'm going to include a few monsters of my own design when I get the chance.

Edit 1: When I uploaded this story I forgot that the people of Equestria were going to be human but still have the skin tone of their pony counterparts. Sorry about that.
Edit 2: The main reason I've kept the Anthro tag is due to Ajax having a werewolf like form. Hope this helps clear things up.
Edit 3: I changed the name of the District that Ajax lives in to the Craft's District and the food market area to the Market District. I realized this made more sense in the middle of writing chapter 4

As with all my stories I hope you enjoy.

Meet Tombstone. He's a lich and wants nothing more than to destroy Equestria. Then he meets certain Princess of Friendship. Can a pony that's held a grudge against his own kind for a thousand years possibly change his ways? Celestia doesn't think so.

Tags may be subject to change depending on how the story progresses. Rating may also change but for now its teen.

Also this story has dovahzul or dragon language in it. Let me just state that this is in NO way, shape, or form a Skyrim crossover. I merely borrowed it from the game. I needed a fictional language to use and it fit the bill for two reasons. One there are dragons in the MLP universe and two its tied with magic. If you would like to translate it here is the site I used https://www.thuum.org/translate-legacy.php but be warned the translation may not be 100% accurate. For example when I converted sparkle into dovahzul it read viim but when i converted it back to english it gave me shimmer. May also have trouble with plural words. But you'll get the gist of what's being said.

Once upon a time, on the not-so-magical planet Earth, there was a US Marine who signed up to defend his country. He was assigned to a fire team, the fire team assigned to a squad and the squad assigned to a platoon. Together they defended the area surrounding a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan from insurgents. If only it were that simple.

When lone Marine is transported to Equestria he finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With no orders, no resupply and seemingly no hope of return, he sets out to find what brought him here, and why.

Strong Language Warning: He swears like a Marine.
Disclaimer: I'm not a Marine

What do readers have to say about this story?

"[T]his has to be the dumbest sounding plot I've ever heard of. But my god do you take that and fuck it in its ass ... Its just so real and witty and genuine that the whole premise actually works!" ComprehensiveBrony

"Yes, it's human-in-Equestria, but it's good. ... the action scenes had me sitting on the edge of my seat" Tebee

Cover by me, background stock by DarkDragon774

for years, the great goddess Faust and her fellow divine beings known as "humans" are worshiped by nearly all sentient creatures in Equis. for they created the land, sea, and air in which the mortals thrive and live in.
at least, that's what they believe.....
drop a normal human in the middle of it and watch as ponies, griffons, dragons, zebras, and changelings try and gain their "blessing" from an unwilling "god"

Everything dies.

Sometimes sooner than it should, and sometimes not for very long.

When death proves to be a bit more impermanent than it should be, Celestia is left to figure it out.

As well as why the new citizen of her fair land seems so intent on keeping the answers to himself.

A man is transported to Equestria as a "Gamer."

Fighting monsters, leveling up, and learning the Magic of Friendship.

The main characters magic system will be based heavily on Skyrim, Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning, and DnD.

The villains of Equestria are tired, tired of losing. So Discord in all of his brilliance set a fail safe, if he were to lose a clone of him was to find the being closest to him in terms of chaos, and give that being his powers, memories and good looks. To create Chaos and recruit allies. He found me.
