It was a nice, peaceful day for Twilight Sparkle. No three headed dogs running amuck. No Rivals out to prove their superiority. Nothing to stress or worry about. Just her and a nice book.
Then a random pony walks in off the street, breaks a couple of her vases, steals a few of her books, and has the gall to ask "Do you know where the boss monster is?"
Then top it off with the fact that the pony just DISSAPEARED right in front of her.
Why couldn't she just have a nice day off?
Holy crap, featured on 4/24/15 !
P.S. am I the only one that finds it odd that Cadence is lumped in with the "side characters" and not the "Princesses" in the character tabs?
P.P.S. I have now had two people asking me what this is a crossover with. I guess I can't fault people for not knowing beforehand.
This story is a crossover with the book Ready Player One, by the author Ernest Cline.
cool more good
This is awesome, please make a lot more.
YES MORE GOOOOOD
I am intrigued.
Okay this is getting off to a really nice start.
Having just finished re-reading the book, I couldn't resist this one. Awesome work.
5140783 As a fellow fan of the book, and one that is extrememly excited for the movie, I am trying not to sully the work.
5140947 Uh oh. Movies made from books are rarely good.
Still looks like a great story.
First thing that came to my mind:
I can't wait. B-B-B-Boss Battle! Sunbutt the shiny!
5141998
Solar Flare. Alicorn; Holy attribute. 40,000 hp, def type Darkness null.
Spec attribute, Target gains .5 increase to all stats if fighting against a solo player. Weak to physical attacks, Slash;Blunt;Piercing. ALL magic does -.5 damage.
The embodiment of Pride and Rage, Solar Flare came into being when Princess Celestia was overtaken by a Nightmare. This parasitic entity leached off of her negative emotions, leading to the "Day of Endless Sun"
5142034 ...get the health potions and cheat codes ready. This ones gunna suck.
I did not expect fanfiction about Ready Player One here, of all places! The book is one of my favorites.
...proceed.
5142271
...no.
I may have a problem with people telling what to do, but I'm just joking. I actually have a few ideas rattling inside my head.
Twilight special attack: BOOK OF A THOUSAND PAPER CUTS!
5144427 ohh that would hurt alllllloooot
5144427
Twilight Sparkle; Unicorn. Arcane Attribute. hp 2,500. def type; Flame half.
Spec attribute; Harmony. Gains +5 to all stats, and a +10 to morale if She is in a party.
Spec attribute; Rage Shift. Gains +10 to str, def, speed, and int. Twilight Sparkle must be agitated into retaliation. Does not stack with Harmony.
Student of Princess Celestia. A powerful magic wielder, she is not quick to anger, even at her worst. An avid biblophile, you must have mishandled one that belonged to her. May Equestria have mercy on your soul.
Victory conditions: Reduce Twilight Sparkles health to 500, Survive for 5 minutes, Utilize the magic of friendship and talk her to a standstill.
exp 100, 375*. Bit 15, 70*, Item: Solidified chunk of magic.
(*only a true warrior can prevail without violence. Achieve the second or third victory conditions)
Pinkie Pie is a player! It makes sense now!
Some slight errors, such as forgetting the apostrophes for "theres".
if this was comment driven I would check the books out knowledge is power and all that jazz.
Notice how intelligence is the lowest number...
5146414 Intelligence denotes ones magical ability, and mp pool.
lol
I really like the way you are playing this (pun totally intended
).
You definitely have me very curious about what the actual situation is. Is this all a sim with full true AI's or is there something more 'exotic' going on. Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for more.
I'm loving this story, please continue.
Oh Twilight, when will you ever learn that you can't prepare for Celestia's tests. No one can!
Ah. So friendship earns him more levels eh? What the final level?
...ALICORN FORM UNLOCKED!!
5153618 Draconequus form perhaps?
5153828 Faust Form?!
I couldn't help but think "this isn't even my final form!" Truly the internet has ruined me
5153874 Faust is usually an Alicorn. Or human.
think there a sea pony form for water? or even a fairy pony? sorry it would be funny and an experience for him. Next chapter I hope he go huh and she like what? Then he tell her the news she think he joking till the wings shows.
so he can be an earth pony and pegasus now like shape shifting! That be a nice feature in any game.
What is this a cross over of? All that comes to mind even similar is sao.
5153689 I AGREE!
5156023
Thou does not know of Ready Player One?
Blasphemer!
> Pegasus Form
O shi
5156054 I agree
Error! Npc twilight has suffered a fatal system crash, reboot system?
Hatoful Boyfriend reference? Sure why not. Hallidayful Boyfriend?
Some minor spelling errors:
Should be "weirder"
Should be "Dinner's" and "That's"
It should be CMC because it is an acronym. The Smooze is a name and a proper noun, so it should be capitalized.
When Wade becomes an alicorn, all of Equestria is doomed.
5162421
Made the changes you pointed out.
And isn't Alicorn the final proof of friendship? If he gets that far, becomes that stable with the elements of harmony or whatever, how would that become a bad thing?
more players equal more fun!!!! hook that girl up!!!
please?
5162470
Okay, if he unlocks Draconequus first, then they're screwed.
U mad twilight?
I came to this chapter to ask a question. What is this crossed over with? Because I really would like to read the book.
What are the books. I'm interested.
5162496
The book itself is called Ready Player One.
5162513 Thanks a bunch.
5162494
oh, she's mad alright.
