At first, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. The being that shall remain nameless decided it wasn't very interesting and, with but a thought, he set about to creating the world that would serve as his amusement. After a little while, all the trees were planted, all the liquids settled, all the chests hidden, and all the crimson placed.

The being looked at this large world and at all the creatures roaming it mindlessly, some of which inadvertently killing others, and thought this might be enough. But something's missing, it finally decided. What could I add to make this world complete?

After a long while of deliberation, and after a thousand bunnies had been brutally murdered by bouncing slimes, the being had an idea. It reached out, not knowing where, but hoping it might find something to bring to this world.

A little beyond the fabric of space-time...

A purple unicorn/pegasus hybrid thing trotted peacefully through the quaint houses of a small town called Ponyville, aptly named for its population of ponies. This unicorn/pegasus hybrid thing, known to many as "Twilight Sparkle," or just Twilight, had headed into town to meet with her various friends at a quaint resturant, where they would eat food, talk about whatever ponies talked about in resturants, and generally have a good time.

It was at this moment, while the hybrid thing thought about what she could talk about with her friends, that a rift in the fabric of space-time suddenly appeared in front of her, causing her to jump in fright. Before anyone in the nearby vicinity knew what was happening, a strange smokey appendage reached out, groping almost blindly for a few seconds until it found something. Of course, that something was our protagonist, Twilight. With Twilight in its grasp, and the hybrid thing too startled to do anything, the appendage pulled her through the rift, closing it behind them so as to be somewhat polite to the victim universe.

Back to the newly-created universe...

Twilight wasn't sure how long she was out, but as soon she opened her eyes she was assaulted by the bright light of the sun right above her. Hastily shielding her eyes with her leg, she slowly attempted to get up from her resting place, which she noted in the back of her mind was a somewhat flat grassy plain.

"H-hello?" Twilight called out, unsure of what might hear her. However, it seemed there was nothing but silence to answer her.

Twilight decided she should get acquainted with wherever she found herself, and decided to look around. She could see a lot of trees behind her, although it seemed on closer inspection that they were kind of flat. She could see some bunnies in the distance, and some green blobs bouncing even further back.

Twilight turned around and was greeted to the sight of what looked like a hairless ape staring back at her, which made her jump in surprise. They now both stared at each other, one fearfully and the other blankly. After a few seconds of them staring at each other, Twilight decided to risk communicating with it. "Um, hi?"

"Greetings, Twilight Sparkle. Is there something I can help you with?"

Twilight relaxed slightly, thinking the creature might not want to eat her, or whatever these creatures do. "Um, actually, yeah. Could you tell me where I am, please? I don't think I'm in Ponyville anymore."

"You can use your pickaxe to dig through dirt, and your axe to chop down trees. Just place your cursor over the tile and click!"

Twilight wasn't expecting that kind of response from the creature, and stood confused for a few seconds before responding, looking around as she did so. "Pickaxe? Axe? I don't think I have any-"

What Twilight was about to say died in her throat as she noticed a few copper tools beside her, consisting of a shortsword, pickaxe, and axe. As soon as she noticed they were there, they leaped up at her with pronounced popping sounds, startling her for the third time today. When she recovered a few seconds later, she discovered she was holding the sword in her hoof, although the other two tools were nowhere to be seen.

"Why am I holding a sword?" Twilight looked at the creature. "Hello? Would you mind telling me why I have a sword? And where did the other tools go?"

"If you want to survive," the creature replied, "you will need to create weapons and shelter. Start by chopping down trees and gathering wood.

"But how?! What's a cursor? Where's my axe? What do I do?"

"Press ESC to access your crafting menu. When you have enough wood, create a workbench. This will allow you to create more complicated things, as long as you're standing close to it."

Twilight was starting to get really annoyed at this creature. Why couldn't it give her the answers she wanted? Remembering Cadence's calming method, Twilight used it before she did anything rash. Instead of getting angry at the creature, she decided to see if her magic still worked.

Noticing a small rock nearby, Twilight attempted to levitate it towards her. But not even a magical signature surrounded the rock and it stayed exactly put. Putting her hoof to her head revealed an absence of a horn, at which Twilight started to panic. Glancing behind her, she discovered her wings were missing as well. This wasn't very pleasant news for the now hornless and wingless pony, and she started to hyperventilate.

Suddenly, Twilight felt something land on her, sapping some of her strength and startling her out of her panicked state. Twilight immediately jumped away and turned around to see what had attacked her. She was confused to see a simple green blob thing. She attempted to communicate with it as she had with the guide, but it ignored her and jumped at her again.

Twilight attempted to speak again. "What's going on? Why are you attacking me?" In response, the slime jiggled a little before bouncing high into the air and landing on Twilight again, sapping a little more of her strength. She noticed she didn't have any wounds on her, but she felt injured somehow.

Twilight spun around to try and run away and came face-to-face with the unhelpful ape again. Panicked, Twilight called out to it. "Hello? Um, ape creature? I'm being attacked by this blob! What do I do?"

"You can build a shelter by placing wood or other blocks in the-"

"THAT DOESN'T HELP ME!" Twilight interrupted, still being attacked by the blob. "Help me!"

"-world. Don't forget to build and place walls."

Twilight attempted to yell something else, but the slime jumped on her one more time, causing her vision to suddenly go red and the phrase "You were slain..." to appear. Twilight also noticed a message in the bottom left corner of her vision, which read "Twilight Sparkle was turned into a pile of flesh by green slime." A few seconds later, Twilight's vision cleared and she realized she was back where she died. She also immediately felt something land on her, hurting her yet again. Still in shock from apparently dieing, Twilight was barely able to start to run away from the slime before she got killed again, only this time it said her "flailing about was finally stopped." As soon as she came back again, she came for the slime in a murderous rage, trying to swipe at it with the shortsword that was still in her hooves. Unfortunately for her, the slime seemed to easily be able to dodge the measly weapon and eventually crushed Twilight's skull.

Thankfully, when Twilight next awoke, there was no slime present. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief until she realized she was still in this world. Her brain then made the logical deduction that there might exist more blobs, and all of them might want to kill her. Her brain then also made the leap of logic that more than just blobs could be out to kill her.

I don't need to think about that right now. Twilight banished thoughts of even more terrible creatures from her mind, and instead set about to making the most of her current situation. And that means I'll probably have to get this creature to help me. She turned towards the creature, which seemed to be lazily walking back and forth. I don't want to keep calling it a creature. I'm not sure what to call it, though. I... guess it looks like a male, and he does seem to want to guide me... I think I'll call him "Guide."

"Excuse me?" Twilight called out. "Guide? I need as much information as I can get! Please?" She looked up at Guide pleadingly.

And so Guide taught Twilight a few things. It wasn't that much, to Twilight's chagrin, but he seemed to just start repeating things when questioned for long enough. Twilight still didn't understand what a "cursor" or an "ESC" were, but she was able to figure out how to open her inventory and swap her tools after a little trial-and-error. She also figured out she should probably make a house before nightfall, or she might have to deal with more terrible foes. Shuddering slightly, she went out to collect some trees.

One nightfall later...

Twilight was running as fast as she could away from the terrible groans of the (dare she think it?) zombies chasing after her. She was pretty sure before these current events that zombies didn't exist, but she was quickly proven wrong when one tried to chomp her head off. Although she definitely wasn't aware of the flying eyes, which quickly proved themselves to be just as dangerous as the zombies. Twilight was at least glad she was able to make a shelter, albeit a small one.

She did manage to build a work bench, and it wasn't too hard to use it. She also noticed that Guide had settled into the shelter just fine, and was glad he liked it.

All thoughts of successful house building aside, Twilight raced into the shelter as if her life depended on it, making sure to close the door behind her so the zombies and flying eyes couldn't get in. Leaning against the thumping door, Twilight allowed herself to relax. She could tell she'd need a lot of getting used to this world, unless she wanted to end up dead a lot. Something she'd need to really get used to was the fact she couldn't die, or at least not permenantly.

Twilight's musings were inturrupted when she heard a door open. Her head immediately shot up to see that Guide had opened the door for no reason, which then allowed the monsters to get inside and kill them both. Thinking quickly, she raced over to the door to try and close it, but the monsters had already gotten in. Once again in despairation, Twilight switched to her sword as fast as possible and started swinging while simultaneously expecting the worst.

...which never occurred. Slowly opening her eyes, Twilight was greeted to the marvelous image of a few zombies bouncing off of a sword. Just as one of the zombies was killed from the barrage of swings, Twilight allowed herself to think things might finally be turning around.

At least, until the eye snuck behind her and knocked her into the horde of zombies, causing her to panic and try to keep up with the two-pronged assault. Of course, she was still using a measly shortsword which is even worse than an axe at being a weapon. Twilight stood no chance as she watched her innards become outards.

One sunrise later...

Twilight did it. The monsters were running away, the birds were chirping, and she could have sworn she could see slimes murdering bunnies in the distance. But none of that mattered to Twilight. What mattered to her was that she had made it through the night. Which she knew would only be the first of many more. Sighing in resignation, Twilight decided it would be a good idea to do some mining and gather some ores.
