Jack/Blueblood P.O.V
I awoke in a quiet room in a warm and cozy bed, Groaning, I tried to blink away the lingering haze of sleep, groggily I started sitting up, stretching. The window was open, revealing a sunny day. Noon, I guess, the day was pretty warm. There's no trace of the freaky atmosphere of that creepy night, the nightmare moon night. Though my eyes are blurry from the sudden rush of sunlight, a glance around reveals that I'm back in my room at the castle, half-naked and wrapped in blankets.
'How the hell did I get back here?, last thing I remember was drinking Cadence tea,' I thought, 'I really hope that Cadence wasn't the one to take off my clothes, and now that I think about it, what the hell was in that tea she gave me.'
I decided to get up and find some clothes. I still had my underwear, so that was good. Going to the closet in my room, I see my clothes folded neatly. Though I still wonder how or when I got back to the castle, I decided to put aside the questions for the moment and get dressed. As I do so, my eyes are drawn to the window. Ponies are out in the plaza, a hushed happy chorus of voices reach my ears, they are happy. There's no evidence of the fear that ponies had yesterday, if that's the case, I must have been asleep for a while — more than ten hours, at the very least.
'Thank god Twilight and her friends won, otherwise....' The mere thought of what could have happened, made me shiver, 'Let's not dwell on the if, of the situation, we won, everything is going according to the plot'
I started dressing, which was [pretty weird, having fur everywhere is a nightmare.
I started to make my way down out of my room. Once I got to the hall. Just like before, a bunch of guards are in the hall guarding the royal castle, not moving at all, like statues, their levels are around 15-30. The only pony in the room that is a familiar face to me is Steel Hope he was helping some ponies move some stuff inside, for what I could see, my aunt had ordered the stain glass window of Twilight and her friends, saving the day, before they even did such feat.
<Royal Guard>
LV30 Steel Hope
HP: 10.500/10.500HP
MP: 450/450MP
Information: He loves pancakes and running.
Weakness: Steel Hope is weak when it comes to fighting magic users, he specializes in close combat like the majority of the earth ponies in the Royal Guard, he also has arachnophobia
"Hey Steel, any idea where I can find my aunt?" I asked Steel.
"Your highness, of course, she's in her chambers," Steel Hope says happily, pointing where I needed to go, and going back to what he was doing before.
'Alright let's meet Luna,' I thought.
I make my way to my aunt’s chambers, where I suppose Luna is, I kept walking until I finally arrived at my aunt room. Slowly opening the door, I see two figures, only one of them is familiar to me, my newly acquired aunt Celestia, sitting on her bed nose buried in a cake, the other pony inside, while I haven't met her in person yet it was easy to see that it was Luna.
The door creak loud enough to announce my presence. Both of them look up towards the door, ears perking and tails lightly swishing.
"Blueblood!" Celestia said with a smile on her face, running towards me. I barely have enough time to react, Celestia approaches me, giving me a fierce and powerful hug, I could hear my bones cracking, stupid Alicorn strength. "You're finally awake. I was so worried! Cadence told me you had an awful nightmare!"
"Yeah, I did..." I replied, looking at Luna, the poor princess was hiding in a shy manner, inside the blankets of Celestia's bed.
"Blueblood, this is your other aunt Princess Luna, or just Luna for the family," Celestia said, noticing that I was looking at Luna.
"A pleasure to meet you, Aunty Luna," I said, approaching Luna, extending my hand at her.
"Tis a pleasure to maketh thine acquaintance, Dear nephew," Luna said, almost shouting getting out of her blanket shield, breaking one of my ears in the process.
"If you need help with anything, just let me know," I said with a bright smile, I could notice the poor lady could use a friend.
"I shall taketh thy offer soon," Luna shouted with a smile on her face.
"I'll leave you two to catch up, aunties, I gotta eat something, I'm famished," I said getting out of her room, leaving the sisters to catch up, but before leaving I wanted to check a few things, so I used observe on both of them.
'Even with my observe level two, the information I get is pretty general' I thought leaving, the room and the sisters, alone, ' I better go to the royal library, to get some new spells.'
Once I got to the library, of course with the guards helps cause I still don't know where anything is here, I opened the door to the library, I was immediately greeted by the endless amount of books and shelves, with no one there, but myself.
Aside from a lady that was moving stuff inside, anyways.
The woman, the Librarian, I presume, was moving books from place to place. My eyes were instantly drawn to her, she had a beautiful figure, she was well endowed, she's quite a beauty, a horn on her head, so she's a unicorn, her fur is brown, with some white on her mane, I kept checking her out for a minute, until she noticed someone was there.
"Oh, someone is here!" she beams, suddenly turning her attention towards me as, With a gorgeous smile, the librarian walks over to me, bouncing, with her gravity-defying bosom, I can't help but to admire her beauty. She gets close to me, leaning in, invading my personal with a huge wide smile, not that I mind anyways "Prince Blueblood, what can I do for you?" she giggles, not retracting herself from my personal space.
'God damn it! Keep it together, get stronger first, then get laid...' I thought, after all, I was ready to drop everything, just to ask her out, "Well, I could use some books about defensive spells, I would like to learn about them."
"Sure!, you want the ones for the public or the ones that are extra secret." The librarian said, leaning close to my ear for the last part, god damn it this woman is not making it easy.
"Both, I suppose first the public ones," I replied with a smile.
"Alrighty, follow me." She said, and I started to follow her.
After two minutes following her, she got to the part of the library that had the shield spells, giving some books, she departed to continue her duties.
"Let me know if you need anything." The librarian said, going back to her duties, leaving me alone.
'Observe' I thought, looking at her.
<Royal Librarian>
LV6 Mary Page
HP: 250/250HP
MP: 2000/2000MP
Information: She loves reading books; her favorite genre is romance novels.
Weakness: She's allergic to shrimp, and bees, she's physically weak, and her skill in magic is below average.
'I might ask her out one of these days' I thought seeing her leave, "Thanks Mary, take care!"
She turned back with a bright and happy expression and said, "Thanks! Will do!"
I started going over the books, the first one, the basic shield spell.
Bubble Shield LV1
Requirements 10 WIS, 20 INT
Information: Summons an incredibly durable bubble. The bubble encases the user and others that the user allows, this shield protects from all sides, for each damage point blocked a mana point will be expended.Would you like to learn this? Y/N
'Yes!' as soon as I thought that, the book disappeared, leaving nothing behind, 'I forgot about that...'
New Spell learned! Bubble Shield LV1
Information: Summons an incredibly durable bubble. The bubble encases the user and others that the user allows inside, this shield protects all sides, for each damage point blocked a mana point will be deduced, the maximum amount of damage that the shield can currently block, 6400.
"Mary!, one question!" I shouted.
"What?" She shouted back.
"Are these books irreplaceable?" I shouted.
"No, only the ones in the private section are irreplaceable! The ones for the public access, well we have thousands of copies for those why!?" she shouted, answering my question.
"It's nothing, just curious," I shouted back, now that I knew I could eat these books without any hard repercussions.
"Ok cool, let me know if you need anything, Prince!" She shouted.
I kept learning new spells, less than the amount I wanted, my INT and WIS was too low for the secret books, except for three books. I was able to learn three high-level spells; the books for the public were pretty basic. In the end, I learned four new spells, counting the bubble shield.
Light Impact LV1
Information: The user's body is surrounded by Light, boosting both speed and physical might during the duration of it, the user also receives less damage while using this spell, DEX and STR x 20, resistance + 50%, this spell cost 200mp/s, the higher the level this spell is, the less mana will need to be active.
Light of hope LV1
Information: By channelling the light inside of you rapidly heal a target or yourself, counteracting negative effects such as strong corrosive substances, this spell recovers health and stamina, it can be used either for severe or minor damages, this can heal any type of damage as long as the user has enough MP to cover the health, for each Hit-Point healed 10MP is expended, you can reduce the cost of MP per hit-point healed by casting the spell at higher levels.
Copy and Paste LV1
Information: The user uses their magic to analyze and create a perfect replica of an item, to do so the user needs to have something of equal mass and material to copy something, for example, to create a table the user would need to have enough wood and the same type as the table they want to copy to create a copy of the original .
After a couple of hours in the library, I was done, I had learned the best spells the library could offer me with my stats, I read some that I couldn't learn, and read some history too, in the end, my INT and WIS stats increased a bit.
▲+2 INT
▲+1 WIS
After a couple of hours in the library, I got to the conclusion that I need to improve my stats before learning any more spells, perhaps I could practice in the castle.
"Thanks for your help, Mary," I said as I exit the library.
"No, problem! Come back soon!" Mary said with a bright expression.
I'm standing outside the library; I see all the ponies in Canterlot walking around, the library is the tallest building around except for the castle, of course.
'No wonder why Twily wanted to live here.... so many books.' I thought, looking back at the massive library.
I made my way back to the castle, as I was walking towards my room, I saw the guards training with Shining Armor. Shining was shouting at them, at this point was obvious he was training them. There are a bunch of guards I don't know, but I can clearly see shining beating them to the ground.
'They really seem to train a lot, is a shame all the bad guys that attack Equestria are basically nukes.' I thought, watching them from above, and then I thought, what about if I train with them?, perhaps I could get stronger.
I started to descend the stairs to the training ground, intending to improve myself.
II stepped into the training grounds, and I was instantly greeted by weird looks from every single guard, especially Shining, My eyes were drawn to the ground where I see blood, from whom? I had no idea, and the disgusting smell of everyone sweat, by the looks of things they had been at this for quite some time.
"Hello, Captain Armor, I have come with a humble request," I said.
"I'm not gonna stop the training Prince Blueblood," Shining replied, with annoyance all over his face.
"Well, that's good, cause that's not the request I had in mind," I said with an awkward chuckle, "I wanna train, with you and everyone else."
Shining started to chuckle but seeing that my expression didn't change, "Oh god, you're not joking," Shining said, picking up his spear from the floor. "Guys take five minutes, Come with me Prince, and we'll get started."
I eagerly followed Shining, he kept asking every two seconds if I was pranking him or something, we got to a room where a single guard was sitting, Shining got closer exchanging a few words with the guard, the guard went out and returned with a pair of practice blades, dull but with the same weight of normal sword.
"Is my duty as the captain of the royal guard to assist the royal family and to train them, but one last time Blueblood, don't make me waste my time if you rather be on a spa or something say it now and save me the time," Shining said tossing one of the training swords to me.
"Then good, I'm not planning on wasting your time," I said grabbing the training sword from the floor, "Please don't go easy on me, I know you want to beat me, so this is your chance to do it legally without repercussions," my last comment made Shining Armor chuckle a bit, while he started to explain how should I hold a sword and other things, I used observe on him
The rest of the day is spent in a way that could only be described on Shining beating my ass non-stop while making some pointers and giving some tips on how to not get my ass whooped so hard, but I could see it on his face, he was working some accumulated stress out on me. Shining is clearly skilled at what he does, and he proved to be a fearsome enemy in the first minutes of my training, all I was able to feel was pain everywhere. By the time we were done for the evening, I was bruised and exhausted... but I got a boost on VIT, STR, and DEX. Though I think I might have a nightmare about Shining tonight, the guy was ruthless.
▲+2 STR.
▲+2 VIT.
▲+2 DEX.
Shining and I, shared a drink afterwards, apparently is a tradition in the guard that if someone survives the first day of training you get to drink. The guards are laughing, mostly because half of them were present to see my ass whopping, what Shining doesn't know is that I will get my revenge, like Stewie would say, VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!.
"Gotta hand it to you, Prince, you didn't chicken out of the first training day," Shining said, drinking his beer.
"Hahaha, so when is the next practice?" I asked.
"So planing to come back again?" Shining asked, but before I was able to answer, "Monday to Friday, same hours."
"Thanks for the help, Captain, I really appreciate the training," I said with a smile on my face.
"When Cadence told me you were acting weird I expected something else, I'm glad I was wrong, I’ll see you tomorrow," Shining said leaving the room, with the guards following him.
▲750 Reputation with Shining Armor.
'Well, I'm exhausted, so I better get back to my room.' I thought, leaving the area.
On my way, I found my aunt, Celestia, walking around the castle, I waved goodnight at her to which she responded by blowing me a kiss, I went straight up to my room to sleep. I got some pajamas and got all comfortable on the bed, pulling the blankets tight around myself, making a living burrito and settling in for a much-deserved rest, but before letting myself fall asleep, I decided to use the points I had.
"Well, with that out of the list, time to sleep."
So. The real question is. Will you make The main character just as overpowered in the WEBTOON?
This story is one of the few ones that can make me drop everything to read the newest chapter. Like always, a great chapter.
good chapter
I regret nothing!
I've long wished I could do that.

It's inevitable, The Gamer power is a series of Escalations. Train > Gain points > Spend Points > Get Stronger > Repeat ad infinitum. The only downsides is the Higher your Level get's the harder it is to get more levels but that can be offset by a High INT level as that is what governs Skill point/Experience gain amount.
Also Author amazing chapter, my only complaint is the time it takes between chapters XD
Celestia art was done by someone known as Pastel Mistress. Only account I could find pertaining to her was a DeviantArt that has been deleted.
This is awesome! Love the portraits added in. Very fun read.
And thus the MC is on his way to becoming a OP character. Cause lets all face it(author your included in this) unless the gamer power is heavily nerfed and altered becoming OP is pretty much a guarantee after a while. How soon he reaches that point varies though. Will he get a bunch of books that like with the gamer has conflicting energies but due to gamer's body survies and pretty much goes from glass cannon mage to while still being squishy compared to a dude in heavy plate goes from mage level of squishy to rouge level of squishy health wise. Along with 'Does MC have ability to make or get access to dungeons outside of events?' If yes then getting OP will come much faster as he'll have a constant stream of combat to increase skills and personal levels. Plus if he can create them and he gets time dilation dungeons then he can do a lot more training of his stats per day. If he doesn't have dungeon access outside of special events then while slower he will still get OP.
Oh damn I just noticed the bold shit hahahah let me
Fix that
I just fixed the bold situation.
9838082
thanks for letting me know, fixed.
9838061
thanks.
Love your story!!! Blueblood x Fluttershy or Blueblood x Applejack pls!!!
Why doesn’t it show what level Blueblood is? Otherwise great story
9838713
oh yeah, forgot to add that, so many details that is hard to keep track
He's 14 at the moment
I want more!!!!!!! But, i'm willing to wait.
Hey, look on the bright side, at least every time you find a portrait it's one less portrait you have to find later.

A gamer power in its self is op with the right/gamer mind
Changing it would make it boring to read
9839132
I wonder...? Would a displaced tactic help? Imagine, displaced that get the gamer power gain access to a hub. This hub will allow them to connect to each other and MMORPG their 'gameplay'. In the hub you can set up shops, training halls, guilds, deify yourself, and even gain access to secondary world's if you conquer your own. Allowing for the enemy power lvl to increase along with the player. If the gamer wishes they can access minor admin powers over their conquered worlds and gift the gamer ability to others. Allowing for a multiversial mmo to be born.
9839558
If other displaced were existing as background characters, etc in that story or some had separate stories by one author? maybe it could work
But in separate stories by different authors? Low chance in probability and survival of it
9838082
So, extremely loud voice?
9839579
I was thinking like this, there will be hundreds of hub users that don't have their own stories, only meeting two or three others that are background or side characters. Keeping it to were beginning gamer displaced writers can crossover for one or two chapters to act as filler or for authors to help each other get abilities or items they can't think of a way to get themselves. Also other writers can use the hub as a plot hole remover if they work together with the other writers.
This feels like its moving too fast. Heck you literally just timeskipped from Blueblood at an offsite safe house with Cadence to him being back at the castle. Then we got no conversation with a returned Luna. No worried Celestia checking on him. Then the library seen was completely skipped and now Blueblood just has more spells. Then we get to him training with Shining Armor, wait nope, skipped that too. And now Blueblood is going to bed.
...what? The whole chapter was basically on fastforward. This set up is fine for a comic, but a story is supposed to expand on these short scenes.
I really like this idea. You get an upvote from me just for that. But here's hoping this improves with every chapter.
9840050
Agreed. Agreed. And agreed.
9839132
Depends on how they alter it really. Though I will say swapping out the numbers and switching to the fdate series servant stat system is a stupid trend. While yes calculating the numbers with boosts from various passives might get annoying and tedious swapping it with letters just confuses the audience cause how are we suppose to know how good the stats are if it's just a letter? I mean yes if it's EX then we know that's great but exactly how great?
9840140
You have a really good point on to that one. I hate when they use letters instead of numbers, we can't know exactly how powerful they are if most of them are in the same category or level.
Can't wait for the next chapter this is a very interesting story so far and I can see so many changes
9840176
Exactly my point. I mean I know this one fanfic that does both. Gives a numerical value then in (parenthesizes) lists out the state in Fate series format. Frankly in my opinion deciding to go with the letter state visual are just wanting to cut out the math when really all they do is kinda undersell how impressive their character is in that system. I mean if you make your character a servant in that series it would at least lore wise make sense but at that there should be numbers next to the letter then.
More please
awesome
im upset. i have already reached the end of the chapter.
9838050
He better!
Loving it. Please tell me you're going to continue it? Also, will Cadance play a substantial role in the story? I'm asking because I don't see her character tag, but I also know you can only have five character tags, so I'm asking.
Where did you find that picture of Shining? He looks awesome.
9873594
Yeah I will!
I was going to commment how skilled you must have been to find safe for work art of anthro MLP characters. I am gonna read the everloving **** out of this. I love the Gamer comic (or whatever the proper term is for Korean comics) and I obviously love mlp, so this was a must. I do enjoy the Redeem Blueblood concept but I kinda hate it when they hold overly intense grudges against him. Mostly because it just sort of bores me. But I suspect that this will be more of a Blueblood turns into a badflank and goes on adventures (while getting some flank, of course). Keep up the awesome work.
Lol, shining pic like he is pissed at something XD
I hope to see this continued
Whelp don't stop
9908107
thinkin the same thing
"Network error fetching image" for every image in this chapter. Use a better place as picture source, I suppose.
Yeah, good anthro art is hard to come by, due to the main reason the decision is made for anthro is R34, as that appeals to more people in that fashion.
Unfortunately, "attractive but SFW" is a rare and dying breed of art, and it's a damn shame.
