So, on the next day, I met with Vinyl's friend and fellow owner of Classical Wubs, Octavia Melody. She was a grey pony with a dark grey mane and grayish mulberry colored eyes. Her flank tatoo was apparently a musical note, a treble clef I guess.

Oh yes, that's a thing I noticed about these ponies. Almost all of them, except for the really young ones and the odd one or two adults, seemed to have pictures imprinted on both sides of their flanks. I wonder if those are painted on? Nah, if that was the case, then they would have to paint it again after bathing, making and absolute mess on their fur. I should know, my neighbor was complaining another day how her dog was rolling around on fresh paint. It apparently took her two hours to wash the dog.

Octavia was surprisingly nice, even though she had this air of upper class about her, she still carried that rural feeling everyone in this town has. The three of us agreed the terms of my employment. I would work six days a week, with Sunday being my day off. My shift starts at nine in the morning and lasts until six in the afternoon, with a one and a half hour break. I could, however, stay for some more time when my shift ended if I so desire, since they are going to give me a copy of the key, and I would be paid a sum of fifty bits a week. When I asked if those "bits" were their currency, they presented me with a golden coin. I'll admit my jaw dropped at that. When they asked why I was so surprised, I told them that where I come from, gold is very valuable, so instead we used paper for money. That made THEM surprised. If gold was so common here, how are precious gems treated? Anyway, I also asked if I could bring Selene with me to work, since I had no one to leave her with. They agreed as long as she didn't break anything, which I knew wouldn't be a problem. She was surprisingly well behaved for an infant.

We agreed that I would start working tomorrow, since I'm really in need of the money. They even gave me an advance payment of a hundred bits so I could buy supplies for me and Selene. I thanked them for their generosity, and after they gave me a copy of the key for the store, I started my walk home. Selene was asleep, so I had time to buy some things. While buying fruits, vegetables and some snacks, I noticed how some ponies were a little nervous in my presence, probably because of the stunt I pulled with the griffon, but I assured them I was just defending Fluttershy. That put them at ease. They also agreed why I didn't come for the parties, to which I asked what parties, and they told me that apparently there was one on the day before yesterday for a new arrival to the town, and one yesterday to try to cheer up the griffon. I shrugged and said I wasn't much for large parties. The ones I had with my friends was more of a get together. After that, I returned home and decided to start reading the book that fell on me that night. I discovered some interesting pieces of information.

Firstly, Kitsunes apparently used to exist in this world, thousands of years in the past. They mostly kept to themselves, so conflict with them was mostly non-existent. However, if conflict did happen, the enemy would have a hard time fighting them, since Kitsunes used a more powerful form of Chaos Magic called Will Magic, allowing them to bring even their most wild dreams to reality, but one needed to have a trained mind to be able to use it. Pausing on that tidbit of information, I decided to put it to test. So, bringing my hands in front of me, I tried something I once saw on a Undertale animation. The room around me seemed to fade as I willed my SOUL to appear. In a few seconds, I was staring at a multicolored heart floating over my hands, the colors gently shifting and changing. I was amazed, not only did it work, but my SOUL would indicate that I apparently am a Boss Monster! Smiling at that, I dismissed my SOUL and the room went back to normal.

TRAIT UNLOCKED: Monster Magic (Undertale Universe)
Learn rate: Extremely Easy

SOUL Manifestation
Non-combat ability. Brings forth one's SOUL, for whatever purpose they want. Can also be used to see others' SOULS.

I blinked as these words appeared in my vision. It was like... "Oh! I think I get it now. Since I wasn't a Kitsune before, my brain is trying to come up with a way to interpret all of this about my abilities. I guess it settled on treating this like a video game, where I'll unlock more abilities the more I learn about them. Traits must be what the abilities of one Universe are then, and the learn rate must be the difficulty I'll have to learn them... That's nice. Hmm, I wonder..." I said with a hand on my chin. I went to mine and Selene's room and found her sleeping peacefully on our bed. I smiled before using one of Undertale's most useful ability.

Selene Dremurr
LV 1 HP 20/20

Former villain, now an innocent filly with no memories of what she did before becoming like this. Loves her new mommy.

It works! I can actually use a Judgement!

Judgment
Shows a target's most basic stats. Powerful magic users can negate this ability if they know what you are doing.

That's cool. I went back to the living room and kept reading after that. That was when I reached the part about the limitations of Will Magic. For example, no matter how easy in theory one ability is, it is possible that I could suffer from side effects if I try to use it with no practice. That meant no SAVE/LOAD or RESET, not that I would want to use them anyway. That doesn't seem so bad... According to the book, side effects could include from slight pain, to open wounds suddenly appearing on the body, and even mental damage. Okay, THAT sounds downright scary. Guess I'll just stick to simple abilities for now. Continuing on, I found the section that explained the ability I have been using up until now.

Conjuration, the abily to bring things to existence. Apparently, it is very similar to Alchemy, but instead of demanding an equivalent exchange of materials to create said thing, Conjuration uses thoughts infused with some Will Magic to do it. The bigger and the more things you bring to existence, the more magic you will have to use, so one would have to have a big mana pool in order to, for example, create furniture for a two store house. Thankfully, Kitsunes are born with large mana pool, which only grows the more they train their magic. So, I'll have an easier time to use different abilities the bigger my mana pool is, eh? For now I think I'll stick with the simpler ones. Maybe in the future I'll try something else.

Of course, even Conjuration has its limitations. For example, the food I tried to create, it tasted bland and flavorless. Why? Because I didn't know a way to convey the flavor of the food in my thoughts, and I doubt I'll learn that anytime soon. Thankfully, I like to cook. Also, I couldn't bring living creatures to existence. One would have to be God for that, or a very mad and brilliant scientist. Why, I remember reading somewhere a story where character that built a living flamethrower!* Anyway, if I tried bringing living things, they would be an empty puppet with the likeness of the person I thought, and nothing more.

As soon as I finished reading that part, I heard the little clip-clop of hooves on the wooden floor, and looked up to see Selene walking into the living room. I had to pause and contain my urge to laugh at the scene in front of me. A barely awake Selene with her ethereal mane floating in four different directions. Talk about bed head. I closed the book and put it away to continue reading later, and motioned for her to join me on the couch. Oh yes, I have conjured some of the basic furniture for us, couch, table, chairs, a bookshelf (that is empty for now), and even a refrigerator. I wonder how electricity works in this place, they seem more like medieval era to me, but I'm not complaining. I felt tired afterwards, but the feeling went away a few hours later. She jumped on my lap and curled up, and I snapped my fingers, creating a hair brush and proceeding to make her mane not look like Medusa's.

When I was just about to finish, there was a knock at the door. "Huh, who could it be? I'm not waiting for anyone..." I placed Selene on the ground and created some blocks for her to play with in the meantime, before standing up and walking to the door. Thankfully, this one wasn't so small, meaning I didn't need to duck to enter or exit. Opening the door, I looked around before a blast of confetti hit me on the face. It came from a weird wagon in front of my house.

"Hi!" Said a high pitched and annoying voice. I looked down to see the pink pony I saw back on the old castle, with an unnaturally large smile. "I'm Pinkie Pie-"

slam

I slammed the door on her face and went back to Selene. I was about to sit down when another knock sounded. Sighing, I went back to the door and opened it. It was that same pink pony again!

"You closed the door before I finished, silly! I was saying that-"

SLAM!!!

I once again slammed the door went back to the couch. Thankfully, she would get the message that I didn't want anything.

*knock knock knock*

My eye twitched. The room seemed to grow darker as I went back to the door and sloooowly creaked it open. I had on a smile as large as her's, but mine twitched ever so slightly.

"Look, I'm not interested in buying anything, okay? So if you would please, stop knocking and kindly leave my property, I would appreciate that." I spoke in a strained voice. She looked at me confused.

"But I'm not a-"

"I am not interested." I intoned. She gulped and nodded frantically, taking her wagon and taking off back to town. I sighed and took some deep breaths to calm down, subsequently making the room go back to normal. I closed the door and went back to the couch with no interruptions this time.

"Damn salesponies..."

A few minutes after that, I decided to go with Selene to the park I saw on the map. It was quite a nice an quiet place. When we arrived, we instantly spotted Blaze running around. I let Selene run off to play with her as long as she stayed within my sight. I found a bench nearby and sat down to relax, enjoying the breeze on my fur. I have conjured some more clothes for myself, and right now I'm wearing dark blue pants that were slightly torn at the knees, a light green shirt and a dark red jacket with a hoodie. Again, all the clothes fit me perfectly.

I watched Blaze and Selene play fought each other. They would pounce and roll around, giggling all the way. It was like watching two puppies. I giggled at the rather accurate comparison. Ponies are part cat and now part dog too? If this keeps up I'll get diabetes.

I was just lazing on the bench as I contemplated things. One of them was the multiverse theory. If this is a different universe, and I was transported here, would I be able to get back? I glanced at Selene. ...Do I even want to get back? I asked myself. It should have been an easy question, but for some reason, it isn't. I sighed. This would have been so much easier if I had someone who understood what I was going through. I wonder if I can make clones of myself?

I let my thoughts wander. I was thinking to the shows I liked to watch back home. Dragon Ball, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, TMNT, X-men, Ben 10-

smack

I was snapped out of my thoughts as something hit me on the back of the head. Cursing silently, I looked back to see what it was, and my eyes widened at what I saw on the ground.

MichaelOscar's suggestion

It was a honest to god Ultimatrix. I was at a loss of words. How did that even get here? Did I accidentally use my powers when I thought of Ben 10? I slowly picked it up and looked it over. All the details were correct... I slipped it into my arm and watched as it adjusted size. I circled on the matrix and watched as the different aliens appeared on it. Dear god, it really is the real deal... I was interrupted on my examinings as it suddenly spoke in a digitalized version of my voice.

"NEW DNA SAMPLES DETECTED. START SCAN?"

I blinked. "Err... Okay?"

I watched as a green beam appeared from its side and passed over the distracted Blaze and Selene, apparently scanning them. After a few seconds, the process finished and the beam disappeared.

"DNA SAMPLES ACQUIRED. NEW FORM AVAIBLE: THESTRAL."

TRAIT UNLOCKED: Alien Transformation (Ben 10 Universe)
Learn rate: Moderate

Ultimatrix
A device that can transform the user into any of the species scanned by it. Can be used by anyone if the user so desires.

…Huh. This might come in handy some time. I guess the learn rate is moderate because I'll have to learn how to use each of the aliens. Eh, no problem. Not like I'll need too so soon. Or at all if thouse six I saw on the castle live here, then they themselves can just 'Rainbow Kamehamaha' the problems away. And spare me the 'With great powers comes great responsibility' shit. I'm lazy. That's the end of it.

I closed my eyes for a moment, enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature. It was quite the new experience to me, as back home, there was always the sound of cars, men working, the blaring of the neighbor's sound system... I find this a welcome change. I can actually hear my thoughts now...

You don't deserve this...

I gasped and instantly pulled myself from the depths of my mind. No no no no, leave me alone! Why must you bother me even when I'm trying to live a new life!? I shouted in my head, hearing that annoying chuckle I came to despise.

Because you can't run from the past~ Admit it, you're just doing this to try and make up for what you did~

You know nothing! Shut up! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

"Mommy?"

I was pulled out of thoughts as I heard Selene's concerned voice. My eyes focused back on the real world and I noticed how I was shaking, my fists clenching tightly as a small trail of blood stained the fur on my palms. Taking a deep breath, I unclenched my fists, letting my fast healing stop the bleeding. My healing factor may not be Wolverine's level, but it was still fast. A trait all Kitsunes have. Looking down at Selene, I saw Blaze sitting beside her, and both were looking at me in concern. Smiling kindly at them, I tried to dissuade their fears.

"I'm fine. Just some bad thoughts, but they went away. Don't worry, you two."

They didn't seem that much convinced, but nodded nonetheless and went back to playing. I sighed and leaned back, my mood partially ruined by him. I never talked to anyone about this, and I sure as hell will never. Just the thought of him makes me feel anger, sorrow, and most of all, regret. If only I could have prevented that from happening...

I was once again brought out of my thoughts by outside means, this time by a loud voice.

"COME ONE, COME ALL!!! COME AND WITNESS THE AMAZING MAGIC OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRRRRIXIE!!!"

Looking at where the voice came from, I noticed a stage in the center of town (thanks enhanced vision) surrounded by lots of ponies. Is that what I think it is? I felt a smile form on my face as I stood up. Looking down at Blaze and Selene, I asked them.

"Girls? How would you like to go to a magic show?"
