When I agreed to be sent to Equestria I didn't read the fine print. I'm the wrong age, the wrong sex, and lost in the wilderness.

This story is a sequel to Guess this is happening

Spinel was just getting used to living in Equestria, after a month in the world she'd gotten the hang of Apple bucking, gotten paid twice, and was really starting to make the Barn feel like home, then Discord comes in with something she wasn't ready for, three somethings to be precise. Now Spinel has to deal with three new Gems who are all crazy, yelling something about humans.

After years of being the runt of the litter (despite having no siblings), Spike finally comes into his own and starts to grow up and mature. The result is a unique bit of magic all his own, or so the theory goes: He awakens one morning to find words hanging overhead that call him [The Gamer], along with powers that let him 'live life as though it were a game'.

How he decides to handle all of this, and where things go from there? That would be a spoiler, and you all know how we feel about spoilers around here...

Frequently asked questions will be answered from time to time, and those answers linked here for the curious:
The First FAQ

Spike has enough. His daily life consists of cleaning up messes, running errands, and being left out of the fun. Twilight and her friends go on epic adventures, sing songs, party, and have a fun time. It's time for Spike to change his life for the better no matter the cost.

(The beginning of this story starts before season 5)

A middle aged brony inexplicably replaces Chrysalis as a new changeling queen some decades before the fruition of a certain pony prophesy. Now the new queen must figure out how to manage a kingdom that has been in a slow, seemingly irreversible, decline for the past several thousand years.

Me and my best friend were watching T.V while some crazy people were burning a house in the distance. We just sat there until I appeared in a black void, and was greeted by the old Royal scientist, from Undertale, himself. After conversing with him for a bit, he offered me a deal, and I took it. Now I have to help him in an experiment, an experiment that'll help him escape his prison. Now that I think about it, I probably should have considered the fact that over 100,000,000,000 people felt like refusing said deal. But come on, how bad could it possible be? I mean, the dude was thoughtful enough to give me the ability to use Monster magic, though having a monster's body in a human populated world might be a problem. Especially since I'm not the first one here, nor the first person to take Gaster's deal.

I probably should have stated this earlier, but this isn’t a Displace Story. That being said, that’s only at the moment. That could change in the future, but at the start, I never intended for it to be Displace. Though I can see how people could make that mistake.

EDIT: On the matter of whether or not Manny is a displace.

EDIT 2: It’s really important to read about the Save Points when considering a crossover. Please click the link after reading the one before this.

Edit 3: After a lot of thinking, I decided I’m not gonna include this in the whole Displace thing. It would be too difficult to keep track of what the non-canon did and experienced in other stories.

After the ending of FIM, many Bronies have come to terms with it's ending, including our hero of this story. After his death from a bus crash, he came to the same Equestria that he knows, but slightly different from the one he knew. With his newfound friendship with the Mane 6 and more, he sets a course of the one place besides Equestria he wants to see.

The Sea of Thieves.

The same Sea of Thieves but with ponies and all the sentient creatures in the world of Equestria.

If you want to review it or if there are people that want to an audiobook of it like the fan-made audiobook The Symbiote. Be my guest and please let me know before it happens. Like the Keelhauled Podcast did in a quick mention on Episode 110.
