The newest and hottest game on the market is Sword Art Online, or SAO. A VRMMORPG, Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, Sword Art Online takes the player into a virtual reality world of swords and shields. Only 10,000 copies were sold online or in stores. But quickly, things go wrong and the fight goes from fun, to survival.

To escape the game of death, the game must be cleared. All 100 floors of the floating iron castle, known as Aincrad, must be conquered. If you die in game, you die in real life. The NerveGear will fry your brain. The same goes if the NerveGear is removed while you are in the game, you die.

Sword Art Online is a game of swords and shields with no magic. The game isn't designed to handle their Equestrian Magic. Sunset Shimmer must make sure that her friends and guildmates escape the game, or at least survive long enough until the game is defeated.

This story is a Serial Novel Society story: Updates will be at least on a weekly, Tuesday, basis.

*Pre-knowledge of Sword Art Online is not required. The Pilot Episode covers all you need to know.

You seen the title. You seen the Short Description. The Equestria Girls are playing Among us but in a Virtual Reality Simulator. Expect more fun, randomness and madness! How fun can a simulator be comparing to the game we normally played? Let's see!

The madness of this simulator consists fun, imposters, everyone vents, change color, everyone's a ghost, different locations, and so on. The Equestria Girls will experience how it feels like to be a crewmate or imposter when in a video game.
What else their genius best friend had something more she added in her Simulator?

Don't forget to read more of this if you don't want to look like that you're sus! XD

Oh, and my name is MASTERMIND360, and I am new to this site but I'm also an author on Fanfiction with the same name and I hope ya'll like what I have in mind for this story. So stay tuned for more!

A VR device has been released that allows you to go into a game as if it were reality. And oddly enough, Hasbro is a front-runner for the system as they have an MMO revolving their well-known show; My Little Pony.

As it releases, thousands of players log into the game to experience either the tech or the world of Equestria itself. Bonus, Discord is in the main villain! Too bad the creators made him self aware.

Whether that was a good idea or not, it wasn't, Discord takes control of the game and traps everyone inside. But not everyone is destined to win an MMO. Most players simply survive.

That's where we find two brothers: Alex and Joey.

This is a side-story to Shadowflame's Equestria Legends Online. If you're looking for the main story, that's the link you're looking for.

Congratulations, Equestria Legends Online is now side-story compatible: These other authors would love your support in their own adventures in this virtual world. You can find them in The Equestria Legends Online Fan Group, located here.

It's the year 2020, and millions of people are raving about the new game console known as Nervegear, which will literally take a player's mind into the game. But thousands of bronies are raging about a new pony game made for the Nervegear. After several months of waiting, the game is released, as a way for the players to actually travel to Equestria as ponies themselves.

But... things become screwy when Discord appears. Whether it was in the game design or not, this being of chaos has gained control over the virtual Equestria, trapping every brony wearing Nervegear inside the game. However, there is one way to get out. The bronies in the game must find and acquire the Elements of Harmony, which Discord has hidden throughout all of Equestria. But there is one drawback: If a player dies in the game, then the Nervegear will fry their brains in the real world, killing them on the spot. If they die in the game, they will die in the real world.

This idea was given to me from the Japanese Anime, "Sword Art Online." Please, no hate comments or dislikes for this fact. At least read the first chapter before outright disliking it.
Thanks to Raybony for making the cover art for this story.
