Another story for Rust and Blackwing's ever-popular universe, Chess Game of the Gods.
Our hero this time is a gamer, who has awoken on our favorite planet full of ponies, gryphons, and other lovely creatures.
But it's not the area he wished to start.
Not in the body he believed he would obtain.
And quite certainly, not in the current situation.

Taking on the name of a famous hero, he's hoping to rally the forces against those who would eradicate the dead. Adventure awaits in the four corners of the world, and he's gonna explore...a good portion of it. And throughout it all, he hopes to prove two things:

Light does not mean good, and Dark does not mean evil.

I was a fairly normal guy... I thought I was happy too... until I was whisked away to take part in some kind of godly competition in a world that I was just introduced to... now I'm wandering the land of Equestria and beyond, and let me tell you, I prefer the show. What's worse, I'm possibly the ugliest creature under the sun. ...ah well, Que Sera Sera. This is my story. Let's see if you can learn from my mistakes.

Set in the Chess Games of the Gods Universe, it's a really good setting and community. Features one or two elements from the Elder Scrolls series. I beg you to give the story a chance. I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen to a person who came to Equestria and was turned into something not even remotely handsome or attractive, even in an animal sense. In other words, a sload.

Relax, Read and Review. It helps me a lot.

Ace was a street magician with a lucky streak. His luck was legendary among casino owners and fellow magicians. Any risky trick would succeed flawlessly and any gamble would pay off for him.

After performing his greatest and final trick he is brought face to face with the entity responsible for his incredible luck. The goddess of fortune herself. Lady Luck.

She offers him a deal. To become her champion, her Wild Card, and go to Equestria to spread luck among those who need it the most. So he finds himself in a magical land, in a new form, and ready for anything that comes at him. To a reasonable degree.
