One day, an ordinary boy came across a peculiar channel that completely altered the course of his life.

Currently, he finds himself trapped in an enchanting realm brimming with mystical ponies, while assuming the physical form of a youthful drake named Spike.

(Gosh dang, look at this mess, I'll rewrite this fic once i write atleast 10 chapters, by the time I'll be writing the chapters, you will have to keep up with my bad grammar for a while, I'll make sure the rewritten version gets proofreaded so hopefully you won't have to suffer with my atrocious story. )

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

A certain group of ponies thinks that after all the problems they´ve been through they deserve a little more that just a few necklaces.

Alex Johnson is a boy with yellow eyes who grew up bouncing around foster care in St. Louis. He certainly never expected much of life, especially when he was diagnosed with inoperable brain-cancer at age nine, a year ago. However, his life takes a turn he never expected when he's pulled through a rainbow portal thingy into a land of talking ponies, becomes one of said talking ponies, and finds out that his parents are in fact alive. Oh, and they're reformed villains. And one's a princess. And did I mention the other one looks like the result of throwing a zoo into a blender?

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"

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.

My name used to be Joshua, I was someone who made cosplay props and sold them for a decent price.

At every convention I would go to to sell my items I would dress as some form of merchant from one game or another and primary sell items that that character was likely to carry, even if it was from a completely different game as long as it made sense that they would have it.

At the last convention I went to I decided that I would dress as Nox The Unfortunate from Wizard of Legend and therefor would only sell items that were cursed in the game they came from.

Now thanks to selling the wrong thing to the wrong person me and my entire stock are in a new world, I AM Nox The Unfortunate, all the items I have ever made are here with me and real, and the ones that were never cursed are now cursed.

The good thing? Every thing I sell has a warning on it so I can't get in trouble for selling cursed items for any price, and I do mean any price... You don't need your soul, right?

Apparently this got featured 8/28/19... What? How?

This story is a sequel to Anon Buys the Everfree Forest

Anon is here and still very much on his bullshit. While he now has the run of his expansive property, not only does he have to assure his sovereign soil receives proper international recognition, he now has a flock of citizens seeking his guidance, expertise, and wisdom.

Ah well, one out of three isn't so bad, right?

Art is once again by me, lol.

A few days after ascending to Alicornhood, Twilight Sparkle is experimenting with Magic, as she is wont to do. She found a lovely new spell in Luna's old quarters in the Castle of the Two Pony Sisters that she's just dying to try. She should've read the fine print.
