One morning, the world's fine and dandy the next? Its run by games, ponies live here and just, you know, basic chaos.

The world was fine on Tuesday morning. I was watching my shows, playing video games, the usual. But when I got up Wednesday morning, I was in the middle of Ponyville. Discord was freaking out and Twilight was hanging upside down from the rafters.
Its all run by the god of games. Celestia and a god from my old world, Gaea, played against the god of games for the fate of our two worlds and lost. In order to live we must play ordinary games. Being as far from simple these games decide the future of everything from country to species.

On hiatus until coverart is found.

The God of Games

"Dang it, Hellion! Attack! Sitting there isn't gonna help!" screamed the guild master over chat.

"I get it, Aluc, I'm trying!" My character wasn't moving. Probably lag again. Lag was common in this game for me. Our internet connection never worked properly. The boss looked frozen to me.

I groaned and the game sped up. The boss now stood fairly close to my character. I grinned and turned it to attack.

After a few more minutes of fighting we took out the boss. the guild was estatic. We were only a small raid guild and this boss was meant for raid guilds with 40 or 50 players. Ours had a measly 15. I cheered with the rest of them as our avatars leveled a couple of times.

"TIME FOR BED," my mother's voice yelled from the living room.

"Alright mom!" I called back, "Guys, I gotta go."

"Alright, see ya, Hellion." I turned my chair and rolled onto my bed. Knowing everything that happened today, tomorrow ought to be good as well, I thought as I nodded off.

I sat up, stretching my arms, and found the most ridiculous scene before me. Discord, Lord of Chaos from my little pony, was curled up by a house hyperventilating. Not only that but above him, Twilight Sparkle dangled from the rafters. She looked completely confused. Her mane and tail were frazzled.

"I-er, what?" was all I could say.

No one spoke. Ponies in the streets were staring at the other humans like myself who were sitting up just as confused. The small town had new buildings, buildings from Earth mixed in. Almost like someone had tried to properly put two towns together. When I looked up towards a large mountain, a very very strange image graced my face.

Upon the Canterlot mountain sat not one, not two, but every capital in the world. Cities connected by floating bridges. Canterlot lay at the bottom and from it branched a bridge leading upwards to the next city. From there the cities became a giant spiral into the sky. I looked around and saw, mere miles away, another city, and another. The world was... mixed. We now lived in the mixed worlds of Equestria and Earth. All that I could say was "WHAT THE [EXPLETIVE]?" Wait, was I just censored? The world had censorship now?

"Now now dear. You really mustn't curse. Its bad for the children," a figure had his hands on the ears of a completely terrified filly. She broke free and galloped off.

"Who the [EXPLETIVE] are you?"

"Goodness. Such language. But I guess I can understand. Give me a moment," he said. Lifting up his hands he snapped his fingers. Nothing happened.

"GOOD MORNING HUMANS, PONIES, AND OTHER SPECIES. I am [Name Deleted]! Oh, I can't tell you that, my fault. I am the one who brought you here. This world, I call it Game, hehe, is a merge of three worlds. Earth, Equis, and one other I shall not mention." The figure shook his hand.

"Now, you're surely wondering what you're doing here. I have beat Earth's god, Gaea, and Equestria's Princess, Celestia, in a game of worlds. I, quite literally, own your worlds. SO I made some changes. Your world's now are merged with mine. You must play simple games to decide fate, AND! in order to fix this you must level up. In order to make this easier, I've taken a book from Reki Kawahara. You now use a menu like from SAO. You can't 'respawn' and NO death can be reversed. Put simply? Play, or die."

He laughed, and turned around.

"Of course, this doesn't mean you'll die if you don't. But with the consequences, you probably should. Have fun!" He vanished.

Discord fainted on the spot. I lifted myself up and pulled up the 'menu'.

I frowned. The last two, something didn't make sense. Then there was my name. Hellion? That was my online name, I never used it IRL. That aside, my strength was low, but I knew it would be. I was never a buff type of person. I looked at Twilight to find a strange sight before my eyes. Her name was highlighted a strange golden yellow where as Discord's was murky brown.

"Um, Hellion, I'm guessing that's your name," Twilight asked, "could you get me down from here? I'm losing feeling in my legs."

I facepalmed. How could I forget? Nodding I reached up and slowly lifted her from the rafters. A murmered thanks came from her before she raced off towards her tree library. I knew she'd be fine but Discord might need therapy.

"So much chaos, and I didn't cause it. I'm a terrible Lord of Chaos," he muttered. I groaned.

"Its not chaos. Chaos can be helpful. This is just plain Havoc." Wait... Why did saying havoc sound like that?

"I," he sniffled, "can be helpful."

"Then buck up, and come join my team," I said, smirking.

"Why?" he asked.

"Cause I'm gonna punch this God in the face. Screwing with multiple worlds isn't cool. Its wrong," I said, just then deciding my end goal. Thank god for the heat of the moment. I would never again doubt adrenaline. That's what the gym teacher had told me in middle school. It doesn't matter if you've thought it out, adrenaline will often help you make a decision. Now, I won't deny the teacher was weird, but he was right. My mind moved faster than normal.

"Alright then, " he said, perking up, "I'll help you with that!"
