I went to a normal convention with my buddy. I found this table brimming with REALLY cool swag. I decided not to break my bank, and just bought a bat from manga. And now I'm trapped in Equestria. As a game character.
Colton, couldn't you increase your luck by playing games of chance such as gambling, slot machines, or five finger fillet? Gambling games that use cards such as poker or black jack probably have a possibility to increase you intelligence or wisdom if you were to count cards?
well to be honest he should go to sweet apple acres in order to increase his physical stats by hard work pretty sure applejack would be more than glad offer him shelter for saving applebloom, also pretty sure twilight is going to ban him from the library the moment she see his ability to make books vanish when absorbing it skills, or when she realizes that some of her books started to go missing after he got to town, on a side note PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU TO NOT MAKE IT SO HE LIVES WITH TWILIGHT that is the most used cliche when writing HiE fics to the point that there should be a group called "Hotel Sparkle"
Eh, its just a passing thought anyways. So the chapter. That's a nice play on the luck stat, gaining luck because he is crashing through floors to complete his quest of finding sweetybelle. After all its the quickest and probably safest route to take to get to her with all the traps and dangers in an actual dungeon and all those monsters. Its "really lucky" of him to find that alternate route to the sweetybelle. Though if he didn't pick up physical resistance from those repetitive drops and moderate damage each time then I don't think he is ever going to pick it up. So he probably had it pop up but brushed it a side with all the other windows from his fall without actually looking at them.
Interesting that he didn't pick up blunt weapon mastery though... he hit it enough times to pick that sort of thing up normally... must need to be done in a non-combat situation to pick up more refined skills like that.
Wow, triple level up? That's unheard of. The skeleton must have been close to level cap to give him that much xp in one go. Also, how long before he gets his hands on some actual gear?
Sry thats my way of saying this story is good and i really enjoy it. Also most stories that i follow haven't updated in a year so i kinda get worried that more good stories would stop updating. Sry
6209360 He found the girls, didn't he? His luck just isn't high enough yet to let his luck be completely convenient for him. Leads him in the right direction, luckily lands him right in front of them. Since his luck is so low compareatively in gaming terms though, the result ended in him being hurt.
Wonder what Colton's Status is, like if he has any qualities that effect his status growth per level. Cause, from what I saw in The Gamer, the gamer's stats ALL increase slightly per level, along with providing five additional points per level for the gamer to choose how to distribute at his choice.
For that author's note... uh, the Gamer's skills DID work with just thinking out the command. He just didn't realize he could do that till later. Surprised Colton hasn't realized that. Then again, he may have not read that far into the manga.
6210205 Lets go with that explanation, instead of me forgetting parts of the story because I can't remember everything all the time always. I prefer it when I don't look like an incompetant fool.
6210221 .... Won't comment on that incompetent fool line. XD
But, yeah, it DID take a bit of concentration for him to use the abilities through mental speech. He had to be aware of doing so. In Colton's frazzled state, I'm not surprised he would have forgotten he can do that.
6210221 on another note i don't remember if this happened on the manwa, but if he parties with some said person bonus points from any levels they got before will be available for use?, i remember the mc friend could use the points he got from the level he got while being in a party with him
6211073 Main Character. I'm guessing Master chief would have excessive stats in STR, DEX, and VIT. Maybe high stats in WIS. Oh god, can't forget why Cortana chose him. He's lucky, remember? So... LCK in the 90's or something?
6211114 neat also I have plans to send Tristan's token into the multiverse so once that is done I will tell you and maybe we could give a crossover chapter a shot.
Mimic: allows user to use any ability observed. Half strength of original abilities. Quickening:final fantasy 12 ability, use all MP to perform a high powers attack. Summoning: as the name sugestes, call forth powerful entities to fight for/beside the summoner.
I like this story so far, can't wait for more. Hope you'll consider my abilities.
First, 3/4 of that comment was about either Wibbly-Wobbly[...] or the Displaced genre in general.
Second, the length of a comment indicates neither the relative "worth" of it nor the power of the emotions behind it.
Third, saying that a story is "very interesting" is, in my opinion, a rather strong compliment. Hell, I've read stories, including published books, that were terribly written, but I had to read them because they were just too interesting. (To be fair, the third book is decently written and has a rather good characters. Also, his Humanx series is one of my favorite SF series.)
Also, I didn't have much to say because the story's just gotten started, I can't evaluate it fairly without more to go on. There just isn't enough material yet to form an overall opinion beyond "very interesting." What's there is good, but it's just a beginning.
It's the same reason I haven't even left a comment on your Little Nemo story. Which, by the way, has potential, but I can't say anything more because there's just too little to go on.
Edit: Oh, right, forgot. One of the reasons that this story is so interesting is because it's only the third The Gamer crossover I've seen on this site. The other two are both written by ilbgar.
6209930 his luck is right about where most heroes luck should be, not terrible, but better than average, if it was the best, then he would end up having supermodels bringing pies and sex to him every five minutes...
So will he go str for men or int ftw?
Question for Colton: Are you going to take a look at the options menu anytime soon?
If he really wanted to grind his attributes, he should first start with the physical ones like strength, vitality, and endurance.
Luck of 12? And he fell through three floors? There must have been a smudge on that status window.
Question for Colton: Do you count as an earth pony?
Colton, couldn't you increase your luck by playing games of chance such as gambling, slot machines, or five finger fillet? Gambling games that use cards such as poker or black jack probably have a possibility to increase you intelligence or wisdom if you were to count cards?
Lol, Colton just went and stole AB´s kill.^^ A true pro-gamer.
6209360
Maybe he botched all three luck tests?
6209417 Botch one more and he's going to lose a point or two
6209423
Yeah, or accidently summon the great Cthullu or another eldritch horror.
This chapter was entertaining. Really liked Colton's interaction with the CMC.

thanks for making this story when no pony else would. good work!
6209464 I'm 90% certain there is. However i don't think it's quite in relation to this subject.
Yeah nice story i love it
Wow, Colton is a crude son of a bitch who has no qualms over messing with children.
I can respect that.

Pls update soon

6209767
I JUST updated! Literally, just a couple hours ago!
Not to sound like a whiny little turd, but what more do you want?
6209719
He recieved blunt mastery in the last chapter.
6209558
Colton's Motto.
Eveyone is an asshole of some sort. They all have their own variation on their own assholeishness.
Children are just assholes that haven't become big assholes yet.

6209719 somehow i Like the idea of the MC being the one who own the library instead of twilight
6210221 LoL what would a Master Chief Displaced stats be lol
6211073
Main Character.
I'm guessing Master chief would have excessive stats in STR, DEX, and VIT. Maybe high stats in WIS. Oh god, can't forget why Cortana chose him. He's lucky, remember? So... LCK in the 90's or something?
6211114 neat also I have plans to send Tristan's token into the multiverse so once that is done I will tell you and maybe we could give a crossover chapter a shot.
At least he is picking up stat ups pretty easily in this setting~!
Loving the story.

this is just a great story and it makes me crave more.

Yes, I shall watch your progress with baited breath.
Aside from some minor spelling errors I'm really digging this so far.
Please author, can we have more soon?
... I think I might love you.... -_-
Interesting, very interesting.
6217529
Just 'interesting'?
