[Psychological Grimdark]

This story was directly based off 'Awoken': Wooden Toaster and H8 seed's spirited successor to the Rainbow Factory.

Food for thought, folks. I wrote this story on my own time and Obab later added extra material, three years later, when she converted the story into her audio production. She did not participate in the original production (if that was not clear already). If you read the story below you'll see the original, untampered text!

***

The decline into darkness had been easy enough... but when a high ranking Rainbow Factory employee begins to loose faith in the program and attempts to leave, things get out of hoof.

Having lived the majority of his life in the twisted building known as the Rainbow Factory-climbing up the brutal ladder and eventually becoming an Orchestrator-a lone colt finds the atrocity's he's committed in his past coming back to haunt him in his waking hours.

Driven by the need to return to normal society and the thought of redemption, he devises a risky plan that will ultimately decide the very fate of the Rainbow Factory as it's come to be known.

This story is a sequel to A Gamer In Equestria

This story is a soft reboot of A Gamer in Equestria which I have rehashed into a prequel to this story.

After the death of Craig in his last reality and being forced to reset the world back to before he arrived he relives his life once again, but nothing is really as it seems.

Everything seems the same, almost like nothing had changed, even his powers remain even if they are locked away from reach.

Once again setting himself back on the path to find who he should be, his world will be turned back around, but as he tries dark shadows surround him from beyond the Void. Just who is watching him and what are their motives in his life.

One thing is for sure, the story may always repeat the same cycle, but this time, Craig's life will change, but is it for the better or the worst?

All rights go to the respective owners.

With the mundane amount of space in the world around earth, a man named Craig is ripped from his reality and thrown into a new. As he ascends to the soil of equestria he is magically gifted by an unknown source to create or replicate anything from his worlds entertainment system on a whim. Grasping the reality that is now his home, he lives and follows his new found friends into endless adventures.
