True criticism encourages growth not through exposition of flaws, but with advice on how to fix them.

It's been one year since the Second Network Crisis, one year since the world nearly came to an end due to an unknown cause. Though the world has more or less managed to repair the damage, people still feel the effects of the disaster, particularly the numerous coma victims.

But despite that, there are still a large number of people who log into C.C. Corps incredibly popular MMORPG, "The World". Three such people, linked together by their online group or "Guild", are out on a normal dungeon adventure when they are inexplicably taken from their world to an idyllic paradise.

But not everything is as it seems... beneath the peaceful exterior, a vanquished evil ahs been called forth that now seeks to wreak it's vengeance upon an unsuspecting populace.

For the three friends, what once started out as an average dungeon crawl will turn into their greatest adventure as they try to defeat the evil before it has a chance to find the secrets buried within the sunny world, a land known as... Equestria.

This is an MLP/.hack crossover.

One word.
Yes.
/edit/ Just finished reading this, my only complaint is where are Kite and Blackrose?

2975686 About Kite and BlackRose; do you think the disappearance of three players has gone unnoticed by the Goddess of The World?

Also, gonna go in and do some edits, since I missed a bunch of stuff.

2976512
.... To be honest, the thought never crossed my mind, I was more thinking that Kite had turned into Tri-edge by this point

2985356 My good friend, compatriot, ally, amigo, fellow, ect...
Write fast

Still a great story, but I'm still waiting for Kite, BlackRose and possibly Aura to peek their heads around the corner.
Maybe if I'm lucky, it will be next chapter... :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

3072105 I've actually decided that Kite and BlackRose will not be making a physical appearance, though I do plan to work Aura into it.

As much as I would love to have them enter the story, I'm taking lore into account here by saying that A. The main characters are on a different server and B. I'm not sure Kite and BlackRose are still playing, seeing as Aura gives their avatars away in "Legend of the Twilight Bracelet" (the manga version, not the TV show that made me sad-faced).

3072227 Okay, fair enough, but maybe Aura might send The Azure knights, the programs she designed to protect the players from AIDA in GU

3072243 I'm also considering something like that as well. ;-)

3072266 I think it would be a smart Idea to do so, but maybe you could make them able to speak properly, so that the reader has some connection to the actual series besides Morganna and Aura, but they aren't just standing there like statues.

And so Aura finally peeks her head around the corner. Now to see what she will do.

Three cheers for Azure Kite!
Hip hip, hooray!
Hip hip, hooray!
Hip hip, hooray!

I find it rrather funny how the three of them correspond to the three kinds of ponies. It'd probably throw Twilight for a loop if she finds out non-wavemasters are capable of casting magic as well.

3210575 Ooo, that might make for an interesting encounter when Rose casts Repth with Twilight around and the poor Alicorn will be like :pinkiegasp: then :twilightangry2:.

Oh, and it's game time! There's a cameo in the latest chapter, can you find it?

3210575 Truthfully, I hadn't intended for that connection to be there. I simply chose what classes I wanted in the party.:pinkiehappy:

Darn you... you tease me with a short chapter :( I must cry now.

No excuses! Er wait, school.. I suppose that's okay.. anyway great update :D

Cant wait for more dude!
And as much as it hurts, please do take your time, after all as I have always said, you cant rush true genius!

Same here. I played the .hack// and G.U. series with 100% completion of EVERYTHING! Items, words, levels, etc.:pinkiegasp:

Didn't see that one coming, did you?:pinkiehappy:

5246797 I actually haven't played GU yet. I really want to, though.

That was Aura, wasn't it?

5249664 Indeed. Aura is present among all of the games. This story takes place between the two game series.

Wait a minute, how did Celestia know Bella is a Changeling? Does this mean the princess knows Chrysalis is around as well?

5248785

How come I didn't get your replies in the notifications? Weird. :rainbowhuh:

5303758 She does. There's an agreement between her and Chrysalis regarding secrecy of changelings until such time as the Queen decides to reveal herself.

5303790 I'm actually planning to rewrite the story. It will more-or-less follow the same line but I'm going to change the timing of events and the overall pacing of the story.

5303803

Be sure to put the rewrites in new chapters and delete the old ones so I would know what has been rewritten. I hope you know how to do that.

A .Hack// crossover that looks good?!
I must be dead. Or dreaming. :pinkiesad2:

5398300 Sorry for late reply.

It's a matter of personal pride to ensure my crossovers are as organic to both universes as possible; I want my readers to feel that Rosemary, Haruka, and MuSeiryu could be real players in any MMO and that established canon characters are the established canon characters.

Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you're enjoying it!:twilightsmile:
