> So What If I Can't Attack as a Hero > by GreenMage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chillin with the Girls > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The modern world can be such a pain.” The annoyed red haired woman staring at a flip phone was sighing loud enough for those next to her to hear. She was on a bus heading to work when a text from her coworker told her how that she needs a new phone to get the company app . It’s not like she wants to have an ancient phone. With all her student debt and family begging her for money she can’t afford a new phone despite her corporate office job. The most modern tech she has is a company laptop and an old kindle. Meanwhile it seems like everyone around her is from an advanced civilization. She let out one last sigh before it happened. She saw a man randomly dance on the bus and laughed. This laugh would normally be fine, but she was drinking a soda at the same time. The drink some how caused her to choke and she died from the traumatic experience. People were to busy watching or ignoring the dancer. The death was as painful as embarrassing. After that, she awoke in an empty white space with blue lights in the shape of smoke appearing and vanishing. She looked around in front of her and then turned around to see… “Hello human. I’m sure you have lots of questions right now.” An anime looking cat girl was standing in front of her. Kitty ears where human ones should be and pure white hair. She also had a long tail with short fur. Her skin was a dark tan that looked almost golden. After seeing this impossible being she just had to ask. “Did I really just die chocking on soda?” The cat girl began laughing so hard she fell over. Instead of a graceful fall it was a heavy fall on her back. “Seriously?! You look at a Goddess and that’s your first question?” She then dead pan replied,” Ok, what is your name?” The Goddess smiled, “ Not gonna say until you say your name. It’s rude to ask otherwise.” The red head finally revealed her name. “My name is Nikki….” Nikki stared down the supposed Goddess waiting for her to reveal her name. After an awkward pause the answer was, “ My name is Slim Shady.” Another pause with no sign of laughter. “ Fine, my name is Kalitay. You sure have a stick up your ass.” “ I just died so I’m not exactly in a laughing mood. So what does a cat girl claiming to be a Goddess want with me?” “What indeed. I want you to serve as my representative as a Summoned Hero. You better listen up, because this is vital information. The world you are being sent to has a tradition where Heroes are sent from another world to kill the Demon King. Different Deities choose who will be sent and will guide the Hero. Four Heroes are summoned and are given to different countries after they show off their powers. This time you will be the first ever Fifth. This world thinks I’m dead so it’s best not to admit I chose you. Each Hero gets a job class like an RPG character and can level up faster than anyone from that world. I’ll go into detail of your job class later. Right now you need to get ready for the ceremony. When you see the royals kneel and be a total kiss ass. I’ll guide you as long as I can. Once my time is up you can talk to me by imagining a full moon that smells like lavender. Bye for now!” I am left alone and see a light quickly come toward me. As the light gets closer I notice it looks like a throne room. As soon as I realize that I am inside the throne room. I am standing in the center between 4 other people. They seem less confused than me and look familiar. Before I can recognize the people next to me the King on the throne stands with a surprised look on his face. He looks like a stereotypical corrupt king with a keg belly and white hair. There are other royals near him that look like rulers of different lands. One group is made of people with animal features. To the right of them are stereotypical fantasy setting dwarves except they all look young. To the right of the king is what seem to be Lord of the Rings elves except they don’t have that smug look on their faces. To the right of them are anthro versions of Celestia and the Main 6. I think I got their interest with my gaping mouth and wide eyes staring at them. I realize I have just been Isekaied and possibly displaced. The people next to me seem not bothered by this and I start to realize where I recognize them from. They are characters from fiction. I see Weiss Schnee from RWBY, Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX, Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia, and Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto. I am the only nonfiction person summoned, at least I think so. I notice they begin to kneel and I follow suit. The jelly belly king speaks, “This is a welcome surprise. An extra hero to smite the Evil Demon Lord”. I would tell him that evil and demon are redundant, but my spirit guide pussy reminds me that is a bad idea. “My Court Mage will determine your job classes with her crystal ball. She will announce it and you will go back into your place. Afterwards you will meet my honored peers to help you determine where you shall live”. The ball floats away from the Court Mage and starts with Weiss. She is given the job title Magic Knight of Redemption. I guess that is fitting considering her past and sword skills. Zidane is obviously given the Thief of Hearts job title. I seriously hope he is married to Garnet or else he will be a hassle. Izuku is the Monk of Determination. That sounds like an Undertale reference, but I doubt it has anything to do with that. Naruto is a surprisingly the Black Mage of Bonds. Then again ninja in his world pretty much are magic users, but he doesn’t fit the smart stereotype. His talk-no-jutsu is definitely worthy of the Bonds title. It is my turn and I walk up to find out my job is The Green Mage of Hope. I don’t know what a Green Mage is and Hope is poison to me. I walk back confused, while the royals are shocked. “… What deity has brought you here Green Mage”? Princess Celestia asks with hesitation. “Was it Discord”? “I’m sorry, but I was told not to say who sent me, but I can say it wasn’t called Discord”. “That is a relief, but to be a Hero with the job class Green Mage is… troubling. Green Mages have no offence capabilities”. “… … What!!!!!! Are you saying I can’t protect myself”? The Elf leader quickly speaks up,” No, that is not true. You are able to protect yourself, but you cannot directly attack with skills until you reach a high level. Green Mages are the ultimate support class, but are also the most vulnerable. It is surprising to us that you are one, because there has never been a support class Hero before”. One of the Dwarve men asks,” Celestia would it be possible for you to take in our Green Mage. After all, the demons have not reached your continent and there is plenty of magic material that can be used to train her”. “ Woedyne, you know it is up to the heroes to choose where to go, but if she chooses us then I will see to it that she is powerful enough to protect herself”. The situation I am in has finally gotten to me and I remark with annoyance, “ She is standing right here and has a name”. Everyone has their eyebrows raised. Celestia breaks the silence, “ Were you not told how giving your name is dangerous”? “Sorry, but I was brought her with no helpful information except that I am dead in my world”. “That is concerning. All Guiding Deities must brief Heroes in order to prepare them on their mission. It would seem as though your Deity intends to keep your time among the living short. Who sent you”? “Despite the circumstances I won’t tell you. I kinda made a promise and I don’t break those. Even if that Deity won’t let me break demons. Also why can’t I give my name”? “Names from your world can be used to perform hexes. You will have to create a new one that fits our naming conventions.” Oh great I have to have something ridiculous, like Shimmer or Glimmer. Maybe I can be Doughnut Steel. " As much as I love being in the limelight, there are other Heroes here.” I can here Pinkie say that Lime Light would be a good name. “Yeah! I’m sick of standing here doing nothing. BELIEVE IT”! Oh great he is just as annoying as in the Anime. It seems he is Shipuuden version of Naruto. “Keep it down you dolt! You are giving me a headache”. Weiss looks like her Season 1 version, which means the tsune is strong with this one. “I know some great cures to headaches. My hands are miracle workers when it comes to stress”. Oh shit he is pre-Garnet Zidane. I better keep an eye out for him. I know he isn’t one to rape, but his flirting is not ideal when I know he has a soulmate. “Ummm… I usually take a hot shower when I have a headache”. Oh Izuku, how nice of him to steer the conversation. “What is a shower? Is it tasty?” Zidane’s remark made me literally roll on the floor laughing. The Goku level of stupid that comment was is amazing. Granted I don’t recall seeing showers in FFIX. “ Of course a Faunus world wouldn’t have a shower”. Oh fuck Weiss is still a racist. “You have seen people like me!? Please tell me about them!” Well at least she has a look of shame after that comment. The ponies and demi-humans look pissed. The human king interrupts “Ahem, well you two will have plenty of time to get to know each other this week. Green Mage do you know our names”? “ I am sorry, but I was not told any of your names”. “ Well in that case…” Celestia and the main six introduced themselves while only the main people in charge of the other groups gave a name. The human king is William Margrave VIII, the Queen of the elves is Entra Fairsight, the leader of the Dwarves is a man named Woedyne Malachite, the Empress of the demi-humans is a golden fur Kitsune named Makoto no Kitsune. Makoto created a sliding door on the wall behind them and we were ordered to follow the royals into the magic doorway. Inside the doorway was a Japanese Tatami mat room with a view of a mountain range. We were told that this a pocket dimension spell that contains an onsen hotel. The purpose of this to help us build trust with everyone with shared nudity. This raised red flags with me and Weiss, but we were immediately comforted with the fact there are not just mixed onsen here. Zidane did not share the sentiment. I am invited by the ponies to share an onsen and I accept. Weiss looked like she wanted to join me, but was disturbed by the appearance of the not human bath mates. Instead she is invited and joins the elven women. Izuku is with the dwarves, Naruto goes with the humans, and Zidane flirts his way into a mixed bath with the demi-humans. The Mane Six are laughing and seem excited to get to know me. Especially Pinkie Pie. “ So what is your favorite flavor cupcake”? “Actually I don’t really care for cupcakes. I prefer savory over sweet treats”. This was apparently a terrible answer since she stares at me as if I just killed a puppy. “Who doesn’t like cupcakes!? Who hurt you to make you this way!? Was it a cavity? I swear to all that is fun I will save your sweet tooth Green Mage”! Applejack whispers in my ear, “ Sorry bout that hun. She is really passionate about her work. She is a party planner and baker. If you need any apples to clean your taste buds to let me know. I run an apple orchard”. Rarity get close to my other ear and whispers, “ If you need new clothes after all the sweets and apples come to me. I am a dress designer and seamstress”. I thanked them both for their Pinkie solutions and noticed that Twilight and Fluttershy put on towels while we weren’t looking. I guess they have body image issues or are just shy. I wish Rainbow Dash had some of their modesty since she keeps standing in front of me with her hands on her hips in a Hero pose. I’m not sure if she is coming onto me or is just bragging about her physique. Knowing her it is probably both. Celestia is behind all of us clearly wanting to put on a towel, but she knows we have to wash before getting in. I can tell she wants to let Twilight and Fluttershy know that, but doesn’t want to embarrass them. I take it upon myself to help them out. “ I wish they had a magic onsen that doesn’t require thoroughly washing to get in. I hate having to get back clean”. Celestia has a bright smile after realizing what I just did. Twilight and Fluttershy look at each other and place their towels on a bench. Celestia repaid my kindness with using her magic to clean me in an instant. I could see Twilight trying to convince Fluttershy to not wear a towel since I don’t seem to care about their bodies. She refuses and we all get in the onsen. I feel bad for Fluttershy, mainly because her back must be in constant pain from her boobs. Pinkie, Rarity, and Celestia share my pity for their onsen islands. Rainbow looks angry at me for comparing boob sizes. Her boobs match her washboard abs which must help with her flying speed. Wind whacking my knockers doesn’t sound fun to me. Twilight and Applejack are members of the perfect size for me club. I am also a member of this elite club. Enough of the borderline fap material. Time for chatting. “ So Pinkie bakes, Applejack grows apples, Rarity is in fashion, and Celestia is a Princess. What about Fluttershy and Twilight”? “Uuumm… I… Uh… take care of animals. If they get hurt or if somepony is looking for a pet I help them”.-Fluttershy “I am the apprentice of Princess Celestia and Librarian of the Ponyville Library”.-Twilight “Wow that is an interesting job combo. How did that happen”? Twilight and co tell me about the first two episodes and what Cutie Marks are. They act as a way to show the skill a pony has. So a Cutie Mark is more than a talent here, but also gives a special power. Celestia’s allows her to control the Sun and to some extent the Moon. Twilight has 2x exp learning magic. Rarity can locate material she can use for fashion and increase in telekinetic control when creating clothes. Rainbow Dash can increase her flying speed at the price of her focus on surroundings. Applejack can fine tune her strength to perfect precision to knock down apples from trees as well as other uses. Pinkie can do to many things to list ,but her ability to know someone’s sense of humor upon sight was interesting to know. Fluttershy can communicate with animals and feel what others feel. I can’t wait to be a part of their crazy adventures. As long as I don’t die like an idiot again. > Chapter 2: Electric Boogaloo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The night was still young when we ended our onsen conversation. Once we got our pruned bodies out of the hot water, I began to question why I am so calm during all of this. Afterall, I have left my home and will never see anyone I have known again. This is not normal and makes me question if my mind is being controlled. Then I remeber the Gamer's Mind cliche and figure I have mental blocks to prevent me from breaking down. I am not sure if I should be glad, but whenever I hear something that reminds me of home I space out. Celestia notices I am in deep thought and gives an awnser to my conundrum. "I am surprised you have realized there is a mental barrier on you so soon. It normally takes a week for ponies to sense it“. "It is a good thing I am not a pony then. I didn't know ponies were also able to be summoned heroes". "We can't be summoned. I am sorry, but calling everycreature everypony is very common in my country. I would wager that you will start to do it as well by the end of your stay. "I am not gonna lie, but that seems kind of racist. Why not say everybody". Oh shit Twilight has that don't you dare say anything bad about Celestia face "Princess Celestia is not a racist. She would never look down on another creature". "Uhhh Twilight I didn't say she is a racist, but pointed out that calling everyone a pony is kind of racist. I know the Princess would not intentionally try to say something racist, but as a non-pony it is insulting to think only ponies are worthy being mentioned in a group". Rainbow looks like she is about to speak, but AppleJack beats her to it. "Hold on Y'all. I don't think she means anything by it. Now why don't we just settle down and get ready for tomorrow". Rarity chimes in, "Yes I could use my beauty rest. So where are we sleeping"? Celestia tells us that we are going to sleep together in the same room. Apparantly this place is exactly like a stereotypical onsen hotel. Considering the creator is a Kitsune, the parallels to Japanese society must be strong with the demi-humans. I bet Naruto and Izuku are feeling right at home. Unfortunately this does not help in easing the tension in this room. Twilight is clearly upset still and RD looks ready to punch me into the next room. I better watch what I say considering my lack of attack power. Fortunately, "everypony" decided to lay down right away. Waiting for everyone else to sleep was a chore. RD did not want to have me be awake while she was asleep. Thankfully, she fell for me acting being asleep. Once everyone was asleep I was ready to talk to Kalitay. I closed my eyes and began the ritual. I was immediately sent to where we met. I am unsure if it is all in my mind or teleportation. "What's the happs"? ".......WHY CAN'T I ATTACK"! Technically you can attack, but it would be pointless considering you have a 75% direct damage debuff. You can learn any non-attack skills and spells so I doubt it will be an issue". "NOT AN ISSUE!? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I CAN'T DEFEND MYSELF! ALSO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON!.. Why didn't you tell me that giving my name is dangerous or any other info that I needed"?... "Sorry, but the longer I am here the more likely I will be caught. If that happens I will have to stay and that is not good for me. I kind of left a mess and my sister will kill me for real this time if she finds out I faked my death". " I don't care if you do get caught. Teach me what I need to know to survive". Kalitay toldme why I can't say my name. People that cross dimensions can easily be enslaved with a spell that controls them no matter where they are so long as the first caster is in the same dimension. This was stopped by deities, because they did not want their heroes to be forced to do things to dishonor the deity. The feelings of the heroes were not involved and Kalitay simply forgot this was a tradition since she has never done this before. Her blushing and acting like a pure angel did not alleviate my dread of being at this childish entities mercy. I was given a brief rundown of my powers as well. If I imagine, see, do, read, scan, or absorb a non-attack skill, ability,or spell I will automatically have it at level 1 as long as my level is high enough to learn it. I have an exp multiplier that matches my level, which is ridiculously powerful and I should be grateful according to the smug cat girl. Skills have different level caps and amount of exp needed to level up. My stats are: Mind: How much mental stress and fatigue a user can handle. Mental speed, fatigue, and skills are affected by this stat. At level 1 and at 100 mp it is equal to your max possible mental state without aide. It can be used to have multiple parallel thought processes at 1 per level. At level 100 your mind will be at levels beyond supervillains. Body: Effects health, physique, endurance, toughness, and body related skills. Higher levels makes user more like the gamer. Higher levels decreases need for sleep, physical fatigue, and changes how damage is treated. At level 1 your body is at its peak for you, which is not saying much. At level 100 it is borderline Superman levels of body capability. Also affects how physically attractive you are to fellow humans. Spirit: The magic stat. Determines magic control and amount. Effects all magic related skills and spells. Converts all magic like energies such as chakra, ki, mana, and any other into Spirit Power [SP] Higher levels gives spells. Level 1 gives 100 SP and is considered above average levels of mana, for a Kitsune. You have more magic than any human in this world. This would be scary enough to protect you it wasn't for the fact you don't have any attack Green Magic (YET). Defence: The most OP stat of all. Negates damage, status debuffs, curses, and all negative things you don't want. 1% per level. Only affects you and is your gift for being a good sport about this... Now thank me asshole! Internet: Gives the ability to use the internet and share it via illusion screen or device. Higher levels gives 1% discount and selling price per level in online store. Isn't that Neet! Everyone has a different metric for what their stats means. For example your level 1 body could be a 5 for someone else. If you observe stats it would not be much help unless you know how to convert the numbers to your values. You will receive 5 stat points per level, but can not increase stats by training. It would only be a distraction to train that way since you will grow faster per level. That means nothing matters, except experience points until you get Green Mage Attack Abilities. That doesn't come until level 50 and they will be weak until you level them up. You also recieve a point per level to use on skills and spells. This is to compensate for the lack of attack power. Kalitay told me she has good reasons for making me a support class, but refuses to tell me for now. She sends me back and it is still dark outside. Celestia is having a nightmare. I hear her begging Sunset Shimmer not to leave. I feel bad for her, but it is likely the situation is different than what I know. I manage to fall asleep soon after and wake up to the Pinkielarm. "GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY"! "Thanks Pinkie, but there is no need to say everybody so loud. Especially to me before I wake up. So anyone know what we are doing today". Twilight looks sorry for jumping to conclusions last night. I guess she will apologize later, but RD looks like she has forgotten the whole thing. Until she stares at me and squints her eyes. I swear she is going to be the cause of so many headaches. " I know! We are going to give you a name. You can't expect me to know what to put on your party banner with no name. I say we call you Lime Light". I never had a ponysona so I guess the name is good enough. ""Pinkie that is not a human name". Thanks for that Twilight, but since I will be living in Equestia it would probably be a good idea to have a pony name to blend in. In fact I could..." I imagine having a shapeshifter ability when a screen popped up stating I need to be at level 5 to have any spells or skills related to shapeshifting. So I am blocked by what I can do by level. This is some bullshit! What the hell can I do? I currently have: Repairo lvl 1: Repairs any nonliving object at 1% per minute. Higher levels increase % per minute. Any damage added when being repaired will also be repaired. Exp is determined by how long it takes to repair and how damaged it is. Unlike many spells the higher the level the less exp you will receive. Siphon lvl 1: Exchange energies such as magic for health on yourself or others. Can not exchange health of others for another energy. 100 point cap per target and minute. Higher levels increases siphon cap Invetory max: Can store, organize, and obtain objects Pocket Dimension lvl 1: Obtained from seeing Makoto no Kitsune perform the spell. At 50 Spirit points per dimension, you can have a dimension devoid of life except plant life at a 1:1 time ratio. Higher levels grants more features and time dilation. This spell is known to only be used by high level Kitsune and is the main reason no one fucks with Kitsune. Gate lvl 1: Create a gate to anywhere you have been in this dimension. Higher levels increase the amount of permanent gates you can use. Can not be used to slice objects. This spell normally has a distance limit, but due to your Hero status there is no distance cap. I expect you will be needing this for many reasons. ;3 Clean lvl 1: Obtained from when Celestia when she performed it on you. Cleans anything at 1% per minute. Higher levels increases % per level. Scan lvl 1: Gives full details of surroundings. Brings a possiblity of learning skills or spells. 1 use per level per day Augmented reality Web-browser: Comes from Internet stat. Can be used to show others internet content as well. Project a movie onto a wall and you could run a movie theater. Online store: Comes from internet stat. Objects bought will be sent to inventory. Objects being sold must be in inventory. Prices are determined to be as low as possible.00 Copy, cut, and paste: Comes from internet stat. Can copy, cut, and paste any digital file into reality and vice versa. With this you can convert an entire library into a digital one or convert a digital library into a real one. Physical objects like scrolls or books are not required to paste files onto. " You could do what"? "Oh sorry. I was trying to shapeshift and I can't do it yet". GASP! In unison, " Don't do that"! The mane 6 gave me a rundown on changelings and I got some info out them regarding timeline. Twilight has just moved into Ponyville and Ticket Masters was the latest episode from what I can tell. Filthy Rich has divorced the sociopath socialite and is teaching Diamond Tiara to take over the family business. Filthy Rich and Diamond Tiara are here for trading purposes. It takes 3 months via boat to get here and the opportunity to trade here is rare since no one is willing to regularly travel the monster filled ocean. Filthy Rich is taking a proactive approach to make sure Diamond Tiara does not ruin the family business. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are not here yet so there is a possibility they will get different Cutie Marks if Diamond does change. That would give them nightmares for sure. Speaking of Nightmares, Luna is currently ruling Equestria while Celestia is away. She was sent to the moon for joining the demons and Nightmare Moon was the result of a brainwashing spell. Equestria is paranoid of Changlings replacing them and it makes some sense. I don't feed on love so I would not really need to use it for that purpose. I let it slide to ease the tension. "Princess Celestia what am I supposed to do right now"? "Well you start by not calling me Princess when in a private setting or with Twilight and her friends. I may raise the Sun, but I am just a mare too". Did Celestia just humble brag? She really is a troll. Well I guess I have to watch out and make sure she dosen't make me the flank of a joke. " Be that as it may. I do need to figure out what I am supposed to do for training”. "I wish I could say I know what to do with you, but.... I did not expect you to be unable to attack. I was going to have you train with our military, but as a Green Mage that would not be ideal". No offense Celestia, but this whole situation is not ideal". "Lime Light this negative thinking will not make this situation any easier for anyone. It would be better to try to look on the bright side". " Did you just make a pun out of my name"? " Yes, I am happy to see somep... someone able to understand sense of humor. I do have an idea that could work, but I would require some preparation before I can say for certain that it is possible. How would you like to run a territory for me?" "No offence Celestia, but that makes no sense. I need to level up to help defeat a demon king. How does running a territory do that? Twilight interjected, " Oh I get it. If you run a territory you will be able to use your powers to help the territory in an incredible way. There are also Administration type spells and skills that you could use to level up quickly and increase efficiency...Princess are you suggesting" "Yes Twilight I am suggesting Lime Light take control over Ponyville. Is that something you would be interested in, Lime Light"? "It does makes some sense. Alright, if possible I will do it". "Good. I now declare you Princess Lime Light". "I like this horse..." > When the Clock Strikes 3 a Final Fantasy reference shall be > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was shocked by the decree" Are you out of your fucking mind?! I can't be a princess! I don't know anything about being royal. Plus I'm not sure if you have noticed, but I am way to vulgar for such a role. Seriously woman are you on crack!?" "Haha! Oh my...Hahahaha! Oh Lime Light you are such riot. I don't know what you mean by crack, but I assure you I am certain about my decision. You may be rough around the edges, but I can see you are well suited for Princess status. Not to mention the protection such a status entails. After seeing how much you think of others before speaking I don't see you abusing such authority". "Me being nice in a hot spring is not enough to make me worthy of royalty. Sorry, but this is a terrible idea. Ummm, Princess I agree with Lime Light. Such an important decision should not be done flippantly". Oh Twilight, I'm so proud of you. You finally have disagreed with me in my presence". " I'M SORRY PRINCESS CELESTIA. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN"! "Relax sugercube, I think we all agree that this is a bad idea, but you standing up for what you think is a good thing. Ain't that right everypony"? We gave an ummmhummm in unison. Look CelestiaI can see you wanting to protect me with the title Princess, but in reality it will only make me a bigger target. Imagine how your subjects will feel having a foreigner become a princess so quickly. They will likely think I have put you under mind control and plan to take over your country. All that does is put a target on me. Making a new royal title of Hero will make more sense. "We do have a Hero title, but it requires you to be in the forefront of all our battles. I do plan on having you live to next year." Ok then make a Support Hero Title where I don't have to do that". " I Princess Celestia herebydub thee Lime Light Support Hero of Equestria". She tapped my shoulders with her horn and smiled. "You are now only outranked by me and my Sister Luna. Congratulations". There was an intense pause and a echo of silence. Twilight started the clap and everyone had a pale face of shock. Celestia you are going to start a riot..." The Princees sent mail to Spike in Canterlot to make my title official and prepare for the ceremony upon my arrival. After being given a rundown of my duties and some cultural faux paus I was called by the maids to meet with the other heroes. Weiss looked ready to gut the elves near her. Zidane was smiling to an annoying extent. Izuku looked scared as usual. Naruto seemed frustrated about something. The human King told us to start the conversation of where we will split up. Weiss," I am not staying with those elves. They are so weird. They don't even eat meat." "First off we should give our new names to prevent confusion. Second, that attitude will get you nowhere". Weiss,"Whatever Grandma, I don't have to listen to you!" Hey I'm only 28 that is still to young to be a grandma". "Well we are all teenagers except for you". "Yeah so respect your elders little miss Ice Queen". " Hey don't call me that!" Zidane shouts, " Wow ladies... Ladies cool it down. Fighting eachother isn't going to get us anywhere. Let's all sit down and talk about where we want to go like we are supposed to." Weiss and I in unison, "Shut up pervert!" Naruto sighs in, "Gahhh you two are worse than Ino and Sakura. I'm staying with the humans. They have a school I can go to for training." Izuku, "I can join the elves. I heard they have different training areas for my job class." "I'm staying with the Ponies. They even gave me a title already." Weiss scoffs," Of course you pick where there is no danger. You coward". " Ok first off, go fuck yourself. Also there are plenty of dangers in Equestria. There are dragons, hydras, and a variety of dangerous creatures. Just because there are no demons does not mean I am safe. That reminds me. [SCAN]". Shadow Clone Jutsu level 1: Create copies of yourself that can gain exp and various other tasks for you. Costs 1 SP per clone. 1%HP, Mp, and SP per level. Aura: SP is now able to be used as a shield for HP and MP. Increases magic control. Semblance locked until level 50 All for One level 1: Able to increase Body Stat temporarily in exchange for HP. Each level decreases damage to HP and % of All for One a le to use. Steal level 1: A skill that allows you to steal from a distance. Higher levels increases the chance to succeed. Can steal from any location within sight range, including inventories. Green Mage Regen: recovers HP, MP, SP, and heals debuffs at 1% per level. It is basicly repairo for people and is from Izuku and that Elve spy on the ceiling. She is to strong to fight so pretend she is not here and don't look up. Also she likes that you are putting the Ice Queen in her place. " I just learned Shadow Clone Jutsu, Steal, All for One, and unlocked my Aura. Thanks for the skills everyone. Naruto, " Hey who gave you permission to steal our techniques? That is a crime where I am from". News flash kid we are not in where you are from and I have to learn as much as I can to survive. Plus the more I learn the more I can use to increase your power in battle. I could use Shadow clones to give each soldier a medic. That is more important than your pride". " My name is not kid it is Naru..... uhhh... Sarutobi Minato! Yeah that's it"! "Please tell me he is not going to be one of us. He can't even protect his name. Anyway I am Winter Schnee." Zidane butts in laughing awkwardly, " I am Baku Tantalus. It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Now your turn big guy". Normally I would laugh at the jab at Izuku's shyness, but Zidane just sucks at delivering jokes. Izuku sputters, " I am uhhh Yagi Deku, but you can call me Deku". So Deku is going with the elves and Sarutobi is staying. I will be with the Ponies and Baku seems to want to be with the Demi-Humans. That means Winter is going with the dwarves". Winter whines, "But I want to stay with the humans"! The Dwarves have advanced technology and will likely have the highest standard of living. Unless you enjoy living with lower standards go with them". Winter pouts, " Fine, but I'm going because it is a good match for me not because you said it. You nosey old lady". "Awww you called me a lady. I must be melting that cold Tsundere heart of yours. Group HUG"! We all gang up and hug Winter. Zidane remembers, " Hey hang on. What is your new name"? " Well I decided to choose a Pony name since I will be living with them. I didn't choose it but, it is Lime Light". Everyone but Deku laughed. I expected this reaction was not to mad about it. We talked about our home worlds some and I brought up my internet abilities. Winter scoffed, " So what you expect to make a living with some silly cartoons". " Oh Winter I never mentioned cartoons or Anime. Looks like you just outted yourself as a fan. Right Deku"? "Ummm yeah..." Looks like I need to teach you how to properly hide your shame. The key is to not have any". Winter is hot with embarrassed anger, " ho... how dare you! I am not some miscreant like you, nor do I want to be". "Oh Winter, you need to learn to get that stick out of your ass. It is likely to cause splinters... hashana. Oh sorry Winter, but you are just so fun to piss off. If you controlled that temper and stopped being a racist then you would not be fun enough to taunt". "What do you mean I'm not a... " Can it Ice Queen. Your view on Faunus and the Elves is proof enough you have major issues with those you see as not people. You see Winter I'm of the opinion that all sentient life deserves to be treated like any other person. That is because I see them as people and not monsters coming to get me. You said I was coward before, but being to afraid of those who don't look and behave like you is true cowardice. I know you are strong enough to overcome this fear, but the question is are you brave enough..." Winter, "....Fuck you... You old dolt"! The morning breakfast arrived just on time before I could respond. The breakfast was a variety of cuisines that I was mostly familiar with. There were some fruits, meat, and vegetables I don't recognize, but they seemed to be prepared in ways I knew of. Cooking level 1: Increases cooking speed, efficiency, flavor, and any skill required to cook, bake, create recipes and drinks. Higher levels automate and eventually instantly make food and drink. That is going to be a fun way to level up. After breakfast we said we decided who is going where and split up into groups. Celestia brought us to Makoto and asked if was possible for her to train me while I am here. "Just to be clear I have already learned Pocket Dimension from you. I got it when you used the spell". Makoto looked shocked, " Amazing! Only Kitsune that have earned 9 tails can use that spell. Well I could teach you Gate". " I also have that. There is no cap on distance, but I have to have been where the gate is going and can only open 1 gate per level". Celestia, Makoto, and Twilight looked like I was some sort of alien with a thousand tentacles. Makoto coughed then said, "You should know that such a spell will likely change the world if you choose to use it. After all having portals between nations would increase trade and greatly help the war against demons. Your boat will be able to land on our Capitol island, Sakura City. Celestia please bring Lime Light to my city so we can keep in touch. Equestrian gems are so popular among my people". " I'd love to Makoto. Also it would help us stock up on food for the trip. " Wonderful I can't wait to be able to see Canterlot as well. After all, your country is to far for me to be able to visit normally. Plus I can eat those Sweet Apple Acres apples you have told me so much about". "Did I hear you say somethen about Sweet Apple Acres? That is my family's orchard". Makoto gasps, " Are you Applejack? Oh this is so wonderful. With Lime Light's Gate we can trade with ease and have our heroes train together". Well that sure does sound mighty fine, but that is up to Lime Light. What do you think"? "I think Kitsune love apples and you are going to be rich. Also Celestia is going to have some upscale sleepovers". I got some laughs at that last bit. Most likely because how true it is. We went through what the Demi-humans could teach me and the only thing that I can learn for now is Sensor level 1: You can have the senses of Daredevil and more. Includes a map search ability that increases in range per level and heightened senses. You can increase and decrease sensitivity at will The other races were busy with their own heroes and I was told to meet at certain times during the week. By the end of the week I did not learn any new skills or spells due to not being high enough level or it being to offensive. I did get some books on spells I will be able to use in the future. Us heroes said our goodbyes, but I joined Celestia and Matoko for most of the going away party. Hanging out with teenagers is kind of weird when you are drunk beyond comprehension. Applejack brought applejack and the night of drunken humiliation began. I challenged her to a drinking contest and won. Unfortunately I forgot how strong applejack is and began to worry how bad my hangover will be. Makoto said I should cast regen on myself to cure my drunken stupor and stop me from having an applejack hangover. With the belief I was immune to hangovers I began to drink more than any of the sailors that I would be joining the next day. I began to flirt with everyone in my line of sight and said things that should only be said after marriage and Celestia had fun pointing me at people to get my impression on how to flirt with them. She even pointed me at ponies and that was why the ride on the ship was so awkward. When you are stuck on a ship with men that could kill you with their half mast, you begin to get paranoid. Makoto took over and pointed me at the Mane 6 and noticed I was flirting with them as well. It is an entertaining way of showing I'm bisexual and Makoto ended with having me face her and Celestia. "Hey let's play 2 girls one sluuu(hurls)" Makoto and Celestia were to busy laughing into hysterics to help me. I was laughing at their laughter and began to choke. Fortunately Fluttershy saw me in trouble and slapped me in the face. The shock made me remember to use Regen again and I slowly became sober again. "What the tap dancing Hell happened". Celestia and Makoto giggled into hysterics again and I became concerned. Applejack told me what happened and that I am lucky none of the other heroes saw what I was doing. She also told me I have 10 marriage proposals. I swore to never drink again... Unfortunately I knew this was a lie. I did find out that ponies see humans as cute and doll like. So basicly I made myself look like bar slut Barbie in front of guys that can kill me with sex... Unless... Next time : Chapter 4 [I swear I am not learning shapeshifting for that reason] > What am I good 4? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A crisp breeze wraps around me. The motion of the ocean forces me to reconsider buying a milkshake from my magic online store. At least I can share my misery with others. It turns out that 1 bit is not equal to $1, but $1,000 in my store. it is twice the size of a quarter and made of magic gold. The gold has an anti-counterfeit enchantment that increases the value in-store. In Equestria 1 bit is equal to $1 and they use Haypennies made of copper for 1 cent. I am basically set for life. After realizing the value of currency I opened up my boat shop. I charged 1 bit for milkshakes and noticed something not canon with the show. It turns out ponies here do eat meat, but there is a cultural stigma around it. When there is not enough produce or if ponies have an appetite for it, meat is eaten. Fish, chicken, rabbits, and pigs are ok to eat so long as they are not sentient. Fluttershy warned me to not eat Angel since he is sentient. Being an American and not allowed to eat beef is going to be tough, but as Leroy Jenkins would say, "At least I have Chicken." Eating meat is seen as low class and gross, except for pegasi eating fish. Pegasi can't farm in clouds so they would fish rather than break their honor stealing from other ponies. Eating fish has become more common with Earth ponies as well, but not with Unicorns. Increased immigration from meat eating creatures such as Griffons has made fish eating less taboo and less likely to cause a public panic. None of that matters though, since I can sell vegetarian food on the ship. I became a billionaire in 3 days and used the money to make travel bearable. I would have bought and copied books, but the sea-sickness would make it not worth it. Twilight was the exception and I copied and pasted academic books for her with my money, I told her how expensive academic books are, but did not tell her the exchange rate of currency to make her feel like she owes me. Since I can't fight I need to be manipulative to survive. Everyone else was greatfull. for the movies/shows at night and music during the day. I bought the movies and shows so I could use the projection function and a display would go in front of our ships as well as the demi-humans. I could control the volume and where it comes from and made it so that anyone below top deck could not hear it. I played Disney and Ghibli movies to introduce them to animation and not shock them with modern technology. The portable radio from Kiki's Delivery Service blew everyone's mind. I sold radios to all the ships and when we landed on the demi-human ran Neighpon Islands they worked with their radio waves. Some of the movies were to much for my pony audience, such as the WWII tragedy Grave of the Fireflies. The demi-humans were shocked, but not to the level of the ponies. I think ponies are way more sensitive than other races due to lack of conflict for so long. The demi-humans have to deal with humans when the Demon King is not around, so they are very familiar with the tragedies of war and human scumbagerry. Princess Celestia was more receptive to the harshness of the film. I suppose in this world she has experienced enough pain to scar over her sensitivity. As for TV I showed Avatar the Last Airbender and various Looney Tunes shows. I wanted to prevent showing live action to make sure no one would think it is real. Looney Toons were very popular, but not as popular as the movie Fantasia was. The ponies seem to be obsessed with music oriented content, while demi-humans enjoy drama. I should have known ponies would love music oriented content since they burst into song spontaneously. So much so that leveled my singing to 5 by the end of the trip. Singing LVL 5: Clarity, range, timbre, duration, and quality of singing is increased. (LVL 100: Perfect Singer) I stuck with instrumental songs on the trip to protect my sanity. Pinkie would make me despise any song with her compulsion for repetition. Once on Neighpon Islands, I memorized prime spots to open gates. Unfortunately, [Gate] can't move once made. This made it impossible to level up since someone living has to be in the gate to gain exp. This also applied to [Pocket Dimension]. [Shadow Clones] [Aura] [Repairo] [Clean] [Scan] [One for All] [Green Mage Regen: renamed Esuna for coolness and simplicity] were what I focused on. I would cast [Shadow Clones] and wait for SP to recover. At first the clones would pop at 1 HP Damage, but as [Shadow Clones] and [Aura] leveled up I could use [One for All] and [Esuna]. I would cast [Scan] soon as I could [Repairo] and [Clean] when neccesarry. By the 3rd month I reached level 5. This meant I could use [Shapeshift] Shapeshift LVL 1: Change appearance at the speed of 1% per minute Once I could shapeshift I told the Mane 6 and Celestia about my plan to blend into Equestria rather than be the only human. This plan was shot down immediately by Celestia because, " You will only be adding more stress to yourself. Being a pony takes more than looks. You were not raised to be like us and your identity would be discovered eventually. If you decide you need a break from your responsibilities and want to use a disguise to hide, then that would make sense". " Ok well I figured that a pony form would make getting used to me easier. Plus, Lime Light is not a human name. I figured I should let EVERYPONY get a chance to know me for me rather than stereotypes and my alleged cuteness". " Oh Lime Light, when it comes to cute you are guilty as charged". " Yeah that is kinda my point. It would be hard for me to be taken seriously while everyone sees me as adorable". "She does have a point. I can't imagine her giving orders or warnings". " Thanks Rarity. I am thinking of going unicorn. Like this". Pain had its torturous grasp upon me. The feeling of tearing muscle and growing bones is beyond explanation. The pain was so bad I passed out at gained level 8 [Pain Tolerance]. When I woke up I was surrounded by crying mares. "Yeah I'm not doing that again until I can get my pain tolerance up". "You almost died you jerk"! " I don't want to throw a funeral party"! "All that screaming ya did made us awfully worried Sugercube". "Sorry everypony. I had to try it at least once. Of course I would like to make sure it didn't go wrong". I bought a full length mirror and made sure nothing went wrong. My fur is an off-white peach. My mane is lime green with white streaks in a ponytail. I am wearing a loose fit white dress with gold ring clasp on left shoulder. My hooves look like human feet except my toes are together in a solid hoof feeling shoe looking body part. My [Shapeshifting] will changes my clothes, but will not add enchantments. Considering I'm not deformed this worked out great. Well since we are at Neighpon, I might as well introduce myself again to the locals I reintroduced myself to locals and got some fame for being able to shapeshift. It seems only Changelings should be able to shapeshift as quickly as I did. The addition of [Unicorn Magic] made Twilight even more Twilighty. She made herself my Unicorn Magic teacher, but much to my disappointment, I can't use it lethally. Also it effects my Mental Points just as much as Spirit Points. That lead to many headaches that hurt bringing my other skills. As we approached Equestria, Princess Celestia decided to show off how powerful she is by teleporting our ship to Ponyville. I took this action as a threat to not mess with her since it takes a ludicrous amount of power to teleport a room's worth of ponies, but an entire ship is frankly unheard of. I noticed some nonponies piss themselves in fear. Upon witnessing this display of power I stated. Damn girl, remind me not to get on your bad side. If you don't mind though, you might want to consider to not scare the piss out of people. It is quite rude. (giggles) Sorry I had no intention of scaring anypony. I just thought it would be best to get us home as quickly as possible. Yes and limiting the range of Gates is just a bonus. Again with paranoia? Lime Light, the Princess is not your enemy. Of course I know that Twilight! It is just that she is obviously trying to make sure I don't have the means to fight back if we do become enemies. I don't have a problem with it per say since it is common sense to do. In fact I would be more upset if she didn't, because that would mean she is to trusting and unfit to rule. I just wish you would not be so coy about it. (Sigh) You know what? You are right Twilight I should let it go. Besides the fact we are stuck in an apple orchard is more concerning right now. Mah Appples! And so with a cast of [Repairo] on the barn and [Esuna] on the apple trees, Applejack decided to not lose her shit at the ruler of the nation she lives in. Celestia went back to Canterlot with some of her crew and planned to meet with us again in the near future. Well everyone guess what time it is! It's par- Bedtime. Seriously, Pinkie wait until everyone gets settled. Besides I need sleep before getting to know the whole town. Also you want to take time to arrange the party right? Okey dokey loki, but you will have a party or my name isn't Pinkamina Diane Pie! So as our heroine joined Twilight in the tree home for bed. A certain Alicorn began her nightly dream duty. Unaware of the night she will have to endure. > 5weet dreams are made of these > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sheer emptiness engulfed the dream walker. She had only recently renewed her duty as the savior of those suffering nightmares. Her sister warned her right before she entered her sanctuary that a human will likely be needing her assistance. She remembers how barbaric humans were in her time and hopes this so called Green Mage is nothing like them. She sees a new door that is covered in stickers of a strange art style she had never seen before. This must be it. The door glides open with great ease. A sign that this human is having a good dream rather than the nightmare she was prepared to face. A strange box glowed with moving pictures and sound. A little human girl was staring at it singing, " Fighting evil by the moonlight!" She sang as if she etched the song into her mind forever. Luna was in a pleasant shock. It would seem this human enjoys the night and judging by what she is watching she is not alone. Hey Luna. You know you can watch the show with me. Also the black cat is also named Luna. How did thou human know we were in thy presence? I never lucid dream and considering the stories I've heard about how you interact with ponies in their dreams I assumed you were behind my sudden control. Also I got a dream walking skill and it told me I got it from you. Hmm It is as sister said. You do have an incredible ability to copy from others. Perhaps thou could become my protege. I'm not going to spend my life dealing with what is basicly customer service. Anyway this is the episode where Sailor Moon gets drunk. And so, our princess spent the night trying to learn more about this human and her culture. Instead she discovered that humans love their anime. The sun shines viciously upon the eyes of Lime Light. Being able to binge Sailor Moon while sleeping is a dream come true, but waking up is still a drag. Oh, you are awake. That's good because the girls and I need your help. You see Rainbow Dash went to visit Rarity and kind of tore her house to the ground. Don't worry, nopony is dead, but you might want to cast Repairo so Rarity doesn't make that no longer the case. Twilight.... Get me coffee or tea and get the hell away from me before I Rainbow Dash your house. Will do. So our heroine leaves for the ruines of Rarity's Boutique after a hearty breakfast of black coffee and morning passive aggression. Jesus Rainbow Crash. Could you be any more of a hazard? What the Hell would you do if I couldn't cast [Repairo]. It will take some time to get this fixed. So why don't you mares give me a town tour while Pinkie prepares the party I'm supposed to not know about. How did you... Really Twilight? It is Pinkie we are talking about. Plus I know Rainbow is an idiot, but even she wouldn't accidentally create this much damage. Rainbow Dash was about to refute the claim to her stupidity, but she does accidentally cause damage like this on a regular basis. So she blushes and looks away. Rainbow you need to learn self control. That speed comes at a price and destroying homes is not worth it. Fortunately I will have this all fixed, but next time you owe me and the owner of what you destroy. My magic is not to be treated as a free pass to be a speedaholic. Fine. I will make sure not to go fast in town. Good. So Rarity, why did you let Rainbow do this? What if I couldn't fix it? Oh darling, we all know you can fix this, because we have seen you in action. Anyway since you are aware of the party how about we visit Applejack. She is working but your shadow clones would make her able to help with the party. That is a good idea. Plus it gives me an excuse to use [Gate] Wow. Don't do that without telling us. Errr can I help y'all? She figured out the party so we are going to help so you can help with the party. I don't need help. You are an Apple pro so of course you don't need help. That being said we want to spend time with you and us helping is a good productive way to do that. Well l when you put it like that I don't see a problem with helping. Good. So I will use my [Shadow Clones] to pick up and carry baskets while y'all buck the trees. Sound good? I bet I can buck more than Applejack! So help me Rainbow Dash I will beat sense into you if I have to. No super speed while around important breakable objects. But you can just.... Ok I get it. No super speed. And so our trio finished the harvest in record time and went to Suger Cube Corner to help Pinkie and Fluttershy with the party. Pinkie froze solid when she saw Lime Light, but that is to be expected of her. After 2 hours the whole town surrounded the bakery to see the Hero everypony was talking about. Once everypony got a sneak peek Lime Light spoke to the crowd. Hello Ponyville. I am Lime Light and yes I am the summoned hero. Before anypony asks. No I am not a pony. I am a human that has changed to look like a unicorn to ease everypony into knowing me. That being said, I am not like the humans you have heard of. I come from another world so our cultures are quite different. My society has advanced well beyond you in technology, but we have no magic. (Gasps are heard from unicorns). Any questions? Yes Harpy? " Actually my name is Lyra. So are you single?" Laughs were spattered in audience since they knew of Lyra's fetish. Her girlfriend was not laughing,but instead sighing with hand to her face. I am, but I don't think you can say the same. The audience asked various questions of little importance. Such as favorite muffin flavor and color. After 30 minutes the QA was over and a letter came from Spike. Lime Light, Princess Celestia wants you to meet her at the royal court. She has given the tickets already. Here. Well that was fast. I guess she realizes I'm not dangerous enough to not let into castle. You know Darling, your paranoia is most unbecoming of a hero. Rarity paranoia is what keeps heroes alive long enough to end wars. That being said I am surprised she has invited me so soon. I'm assuming my bonding with Luna last night has eased her trepidation with me. After all the bond between anime fans is strong. Are you talking about those moving pictures with gruesome displays of war. Kind of? I showed her a kid friendly show I grew up on called Sailor Moon Well that explains why Luna has also sent a letter Dear Lime Light, bring this so called anime with you.
