When a consistent anomaly is located in the futuristic K-Project network, a hacker decided to check it out. Soon after, he finds himself dealing with issues in two worlds at once, while they cascade upon each other and this "magic" thing from the other world begins to leak through the boundaries.
Don't forget to read the author notes, especially chapter 1. Feedback is appreciated.
Chapters with two-letter tags next to the numbers can be considered sidestories, but all are important to the story as a whole, and they tend to interweave. The only real difference is where the action takes place and with who. Despite what was written in this paragraph originally, DO NOT SKIP especially later on.
If I link to a music video (YouTube video with music) in-story, I highly recommend you listen to it, whether you watch it or not. If there are lyrics as in people singing, you need to listen to it in the background or already know the song to know what's going on. Otherwise, you miss out, and I don't want that to happen. Probably neither do you.
I'll admit it right now: I suck at this. But I think I'll get better with practice. But I also don't want to write something no one will read. If this story gets 15 views, I'll get started on the next chapter, and the same goes for if I receive even one comment (other than my own, of course).
my only qualms with this is the overuse of ´´i digress``. to see about the caracterization will require more chapters. but, so far, so good.
4882407 Three is overuse? (Huh...maybe it is.) I'll hopefully stop doing that. Thanks for the tip.
4884880 mostly because you used them one after the other,
it might be that i read to fast though.
4889807 Fair enough. Also, thanks for the favorite! The next chapter is technically complete, but it's being polished to make it that much better. Shouldn't take too long.
Where is that picture from? I know I have seen it before but I can't put my finger on it.

Also, thanks everyone for the 100 views! I should really get the lead out on my 4th chapter, it's in the works.
What is this a crossover of?
4959878 It's called Rez.
Wow, I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined Rez crossing over into the Ponyverse.
Considering the general lack of story that Rez had, this isn't half bad!
4959969 Thank you!
More cap PLZ
4994111 Cap means what?
I honestly don't know what you're talking about.
4995716
cap = chapter
Simple math
4995929 Gladly. I personally guarantee you that all chapters of any sort will come within one week of the previous one. Sound fair?

Discord, you rascal. Don't make the programmer mad; he might cause you some problems!
5022173 Oh, Rez don't get mad. Rez get logical.
5022395
True. Still, causing problems won't be that hard. Just... interesting.
5022426 ...dangit, I need to clarify. What about it is "interesting"? The attempt at making problems? The possible problems themselves? What?
Sorry, I just can't deal with that kind of grammatical loose end. I don't have the kind of self-restraint to not ask that sort of question; I always feel the need to know that what is meant is understood, by me or by that which I'm talking to. And now that I'm done clarifying my clarification, I probably look/sound like an idiot right now.
...I have OCD.
5022591 Should you continue writing this, I'm sure you'll understand. As for being interesting... You have Discord trapped. A super-hacker is currently viewing him as a chunk of code. The possibilities here are as limitless as they are interesting. From pulling a HiE to dragging Discord into our world, to the outright insanity that follows our favorite god of chaos, you could really do just about anything and have it be interesting for multiple reasons. Also, watch out for grammatical derps, I swear I saw one in this chapter.
5022603 "grammatical derps"
Do tell me! Now! Now! Now!
Oh, and as for the antics that are going to unfold soon? (leans in) Have you ever heard of the AI-Box Experiment? (leans out) That help?
5022657 Just commas and such. Like, the 'flow' for various chunks felt off. It could just be me, or it could have been a case of non-oxford commas being deleted. Seriously, this is really freaking good, and I want to see where you go with this. And of course, hide a micro-reference to it somewhere in one of the three stories I'm currently developing.
5022722 I can't find any stories written by you. Maybe PM me about it when you get more done? Otherwise, thank you. I'll gladly keep writing until I'm done.
5022854 I will. I'm attempting to get a few decent chapters filled out on each before going for initial release. Just don't give up on this story. That's happened way to often for me. Nikki, Nick, and Nicole, as well as Greg and Destiny will have some interesting adventures, to say the least.
Good luck, fair writer of fanfiction and Technology.
worked*
5045916 Fixed, thank you.
Well dang. Guess a little push can lead to a big result. At least, more than I was expecting. Cool way to get Discord to be himself while not breaking the story like some authors do. I like your style, Nightcap.
5061654
People break the story, just to make Discord act like himself? The nerve of them!
this fic is awesome
keep up the good work.
5085898 Gladly!
Hmm, this particular method of playing looks familiar...
5115366 Yeah, and I apologize for not being able to further capitalize on it, especially seeing as it inspired the chapter in full. It ended up mostly being a condensation nuclei of sort, but that's kind of how it works. (It it it.)
And I realize there are probably better ways of asking, but if you think you can come up with something, feel free to make something of it. Heck, I'd retrofit it if you did.
I like your stories, and I'm glad you took the time to comment on mine. Keep up the good work (as will I).
I may have painted myself into a corner here...I normally don't write a chapter without planning it meticulously. And I may have a bit of trouble writing for more than two characters, especially seeing as I have not done my research on these three. I may have to make that part a noodle incident, rather I'll have to when I get back to writing.
That said, I would gladly accept help involving interaction polish or unnoticed plotholes, and as always, grammar. Probably isn't a big enough thing to the point of having/deserving its own universe yet, but it's something, and I'm always open to...well...just about anything.
Except for the ending. I know exactly how I want that to play out.
I still suck at ending rants. But thank you for taking the time to read this one, and hopefully, the rest of the story as well.
5270939 R U GONNA BRING TIREK IN @ ALL / WOULD THAT NOT WORK WITH IT CONSIDERING HOW THEY BEAT HIM IN THE SHOW
5314982 ...I have plans for him, but he's a story after this one. Yes, I have plans for him. But if he's gonna come soon, I'll have to get off my lazy butt and...excuse me; sit on my lazy butt and wake up my lazy hands and get typing.
(Spoilers? Don't think so. It's far future $#!^, it won't be relevant for a seeming eon.)
5315436
ok, thanx. btw, how long til nxt chap 
5358371 Longer than I'd like...I'm trying, though, even though other things seem to want to take up my browser space and my time. However, my brother *just* caught back up with the story, so that's incentive to get right to work.
Thank you for asking, it's always refreshing to know that people are still reading/still care about your work.
what happened to that d&d-like game he was gonna play in that dream w/ Princess Luna & the others?!?!?!
5400846 That was already done. What happened is up to your imagination.
I did mention to the guy that inspired that chapter that I'd feel great if he/she wrote a "what happened there?" chapter for this story, though it was mostly in passing, I don't know if he/she read my reply to his/her comment. But if you really want to see what could have happened there, ask Ausbrony if he/she saw comment 5115611 5115611 and what he/she thinks about it.
Hard return breaks are hard. No pun intended.
I mean, it works in most situations where you have a drastic time, location, or character change, but sometimes you need something lighter...
~~~~~~~~~~
But I digress. What you've got here does in fact work, it might just feel odd, being that you haven't used that many in such a small area in most of your other chapters.

5686947 Keep on glitchin', you beautiful gremlin.
This... This is sad. Not that you tried and failed to crossover, but because it had so much going for it based off of your description, as well as something that seemed to become a plot point (the audiovisual feedback simulator) that may affect things. Maybe if you can edit the crossover out or take the plans and throw them into a Rez only thing, then it may be salvaged as an idea. I'm just sad that this didn't go anywhere.
6665088 I'm not sorry about the format, nor the information dump. It feels really good to get all that off my chest.
The only thing I have to apologize for is that I did it in the first place.
I knew what the references were as soon as I saw "Runner's Mark."
This aught to be interesting, more so than this story is already.
6881584 It's just a small bit of worldbuilding. Another mystery, that's all, and it'll barely amount to anything on its own.
That said, I'm glad that you get the reference. I may have just gotten a few ideas for where I can go with that.
Holy shit I loved Rez and Child of Eden. Did you play the PS4 game yet? I was thinking about buying it.
7704413 I haven't actually played any of the games yet, as much as I want to. I want, so much want to play Rez Infinite. But I don't own a PS4, or in fact any Playstation, so I'll just have to hope it pans out.
