Side quest and IDs

Kalisha laid in the bed of the room she got, her wheelchair in her inventory. She’d pulled both of her skill books out. She put the Super Naturals to the side and looked at the other. It had nothing on it that told her what it was on it. So she only had one option. She used her observe skill.

Skill book: create ID
This allows you to create Instant Dungeons.
Do you want to use this skill book?

Instant Dungeons? Well then since it seemed to be connected to her Gamer powers she chose yes and the Book disappeared in a flash of light. Then a new screen popped up.

You have gained the skill Create ID
You have gained the skill Create ID [blank]

She blinked at that she would use the help option she had if she really needed to but right now she was just gonna read her other skill book. Shed stop when morning came she was gonna meet up with Sandbar to apply for the friendship school. She then chewed on her lip not sure how her...condition would affect things.

It actually took her less.time than shed thought. She was on the last few pages before morning. Carefully going over everything even! So she finished reading it with a sigh, shed had hoped it last longer.

You have gained the skill create potions

She put the Book back in her inventory and decided now was a good time to mess with her stats. Starting with pulling up her status screen.

She hummed trying to think about how she should go about this. She immediately put 2 points in luck. You never knew when that was going to be useful. She then put 3 each into strength and vitality. The remaining 2 went into her intelligence and wisdom stats.

Kalisha perked up a bit. There now her stats were not a problem! Well comparatively since she hadn't done a lot to actively get stat points for doing things. Her wisdom and intelligence seemed to go up quite easily for now. She glanced out the window to see Celestia’s sun start to rise.

She pushed herself to be in a sitting position before moving her back legs to be over the side. As she lightly tipped her front half off the bed she got her walking thing out of her inventory. Then she trotted out of the room. She wanted to go for a quick walk around ponyville before meeting up with Sandbar to work on her application for the friendship school.

So she left the building. She started her trot by going to the market area. Most the stalls were closed or just starting to open. The smell of flowers started sailing into the air. Along with the increasing drift of talking as more ponies enter the market. That's when she noticed that one of the flower ponies, Daisy, looked nervous. Kalisha walked over to Daisy tilting while her head.

“Um excuse me miss is something wrong?” Kalisha asked. Daisy looked at her and tried to calm down.

“Well we were expecting a delivery of flowers that aren’t in season currently and they haven't shown up yet” Daisy spoke

“Oh is the delivery pony running late?” Kalisha asked her ears tilting.

“We think so” Daisy then shook her head. “anyways is there anything you need?”

“no thank you” Kalisha declined trotting off. If only there was a way she could help Daisy...

New side Quest added
Find the missing Delivery pony
Reward +50 exp +100 bits
Bonus: no damaged flowers +?

‘That is very convenient and the bonus confuses me’ was the thought flowing through Kalisha’s mind. She then just decided to do the side quest knowing she still had time before she had to meet sandbar. Hopefully it didn't take long. She first went to the station.

That wasn't helpful as apparently the pony had already left for the stand. That left a very confused zebra to go looking for them outside of town. Call it a gut feeling but she didn't think they were in town.

Turns out she was right. Though she hadn't expected to see them pinned against a tree by a lone Timber wolf. A level 5 one with 100 hp. She summoned her chakram and after trying to find a good place to hit threw it.

The blade of her disc shaped weapon cut through the upper right ‘shoulder’. She grinned as she took out 10 hp and got its attention. The disc came back grazing its ‘ear’ for 1hp before she caught it.

The Timber wolf then lunged at her. She attempted to dodge. she wasn't able to and its ‘fangs’ dug into her left front leg causing her to lose 15 hp. She slashed at its face with her chakram. This made it release her and did 15 points of damage.

Soon she had to attempt to dodge again. The ‘claws’ of her opponent got her side for another 10 hp. She slashed at the timber wolf’s face again this time she went over an ‘eye’. This actually did 25 points of damage. The wolf snarled and backed up before running off. The delivery pony walked up to her.

“Well miss I have got to thank you” The Delivery Pony beamed. “though I also got to ask why were you out here and what is that?”

“I was out here because I was trying to help some flower vendors by finding you” Kalisha explained “as for this” she held up her Chakram. “it's a tool for self defense” He nodded and got his delivery, thankfully unharmed, before trotting into town.

Side Quest complete
Find the missing delivery pony
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus: + Sakura branch

Well she'd have to read that items description later. Still she got out one of her cupcakes and ate it. Now she trotted back to town. She intended to go to sugar cube corner where she and Sandbar planned on meeting to fill out her application for Twilight's friendship school. Though she did go and check on Daisy real quick and smiled seeing how relieved the flower pony was.

So off to Sugar cube corner it was. She managed to get there before Sandbar still and bought a cupcake to replace the one she used. Sitting down she looked at the new item in her inventory.

Sakura branch
This lovely branch is covered in sakura flowers and is rather ideal for crafting certain kinds of magic items

So it was a crafting item then. She resolved to hold onto it.Kalisha then dismissed the screen as Sandbar walked in. He may no be able to see it but it would distract her.

“Hey Kalisha you ready to get started?” he asked placing the papers and some quills on the table.

“yep” Kalisha grinned.

….
Later
…

“Thanks for your help Sandbar” Kalisha grinned as the two left sugar cube corner. Pinkie had taken the application after it was finished and ran off. The two split ways and Kalisha decided to go back to her hotel room.

She pulled up her menu and went to her skills. She hummed as she looked at her create ID skill. Hesitantly she used her create ID [blank]. She found herself in a muted version of the room she was in. She messed around a bit and felt a little embarrassed as she accidently knocked over a chair with her wheelchair...only for it to break into items that according to her observe skill could be used for crafting, wood pieces and cloth.

While that did make her tempted to well go crazy in the ID she wanted to check something first. She left the ID and the room was in the same condition it was in when she created the ID. That gave her so many ideas but at the same time made her worry. Seriously what happened if she went overboard? Would everything just go back to normal? Would it stay damaged and only small things got fixed?

She shook her head and got her front half on the bed and put her wheelchair in her inventory and lifted her lower half on the bed. Shed worry about it more later. For now she’d just read her daring doo book.

…..
The next morning
….

Kalisha got up repeating what she’d done the previous morning. After reading her Daring Doo book she started making plans for the day. She was going to go help more ponies out, side quest or not. So she trotted outside.

Ponies were once again slowly coming out of their homes. The sounds of chatter slowly started filling the air once more. A few ponies still looked at her, though considering she was in the pony version of a wheelchair she couldn't blame them. She mostly kept an eye out for Ponies who were looking nervous for one reason or another, or looked like they could use some help.

She saw Grand Pear and Apple Bloom setting up the former’s pear stand together. She smiled as the two talked while they did so. Continuing on she really didn't see anyone who needed help in the market.

She didn't really find anyone to help until she went into Sugar cube corner. Mrs.Cake looked frazzled about something. Kalisha went over to talk to her.

“Mrs.Cake is something wrong?” Kalisha asked tilting her head. Mrs.Cake looked at her.

“Oh hello Kalisha it's nothing much I just can't find one of the ingredients I need for this recipe” Mrs.Cake stated.

“really? What is it I could go get it for you” Kalisha offered.

“oh I'm just missing a few pears” Mrs.Cake stated “and you don't have to do that dear” Kalisha waved her hoove a bit.

“true but I want to besides I don't have much to do” Kalisha smiled.

Side Quest
Pear shopping
Get Mrs.Cake some pears
Reward: +50 exp +100 bits

There was no bonus but she didn't care. Heck why it gave her a side quest for this she didn't know. She headed toward Grand pear’s stand. Buying the pears was just a short interaction before she headed back to Sugar cube corner.

Side Quest Complete
+50 exp +100 bits

She gave Mrs.Cake the pears. Then waved goodbye and went off. She began humming some tune that she vaguely remembered hearing at some point. She was looking for something to do and was honestly considering going to a spot where she wouldn't be seen and going into an ID.

After a bit of thinking that is exactly what she did. The ID being a blank ID meant nothing appeared in this dulled version of ponyville. Still it meant she could practice with her Chakram more. She shivered thinking about her fight with that Timber wolf. Honestly if it hadn't run she probably would have died.

Figuring out how to dodge even if she is stuck in a wheelchair also seemed to be a good idea. Still one thing at a time, she started by practicing with her Chakram. She mostly focused on control.

She wanted to make sure she hit where she wanted. Also controlling how fast or slow it was going when she threw it. It was also a lot of learning how to catch it without hurting herself, as she did a couple times during her practice she thanked her luck stat for not hurting herself during the fight with the wolf.

After awhile of training Kalisha decided to leave the ID and go back to her hotel room. The sun was setting as she did so. She figured to go ahead and try and sleep tonight. Not like she had anything else she could do.

Side quest galore

Author's Note

Honestly surprised this came out so quickly things do run a lot smoother when you have time and a beta reader...

I really need to think of a weapon for Sandbar for plans I have in the next ch...

Side quest galore

Kalisha yawned as she woke. She stretched the best she could before getting off the bed with her little morning ritual. That is when she noticed the new screen floating in front of her face.

Sleeping through the night restores your health and mp to full.

That would've been nice to know before now. Still she trotted out of the room trying to think of something to do. Honestly a random side quest would be welcome at the moment or a regular quest. Heck just Sandbar talking to her would be nice. She then stopped seeing of all creatures, Zecora.

Side quest
Befriend Zecora
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus: level up you potion crafting skill once with zecora and the CMC
+?

Well she wanted something to do and the universe answered. Now the question was how to approach Zecora without it being weird. Kalisha hesitated a bit looking at her. Then she cautiously approached Zecora.

"Um Hello?" Zecora turned to Kalisha. Zecora blinked for a moment. “Im new in town and noticed you were also a zebra and I've never really been around other zebras before” Kalisha felt very awkward at the moment.

“I see” Zecora hummed “so it be that you've now met me” Kalisha nodded to her.

“yes and and oh by Luna I am horrible about this” Kalisha blushed. Zecora chuckled a bit.

“It is quite alright” Zecora soothed “though hearing you is a bit of a fright”

“because I don't speak in rhyme?” Kalisha guessed with a blush. That blush deepened when Zecora nodded “I'm...absolutely terrible at rhyming that's why. If I tried rhyming in my speech well...it it’s pretty bad” Kalisha admitted with a wince. Shed tried once after Zecora was introduced in the show and her parents had to ask her to stop after an hour.

“ah well then it seems to me you just need a teacher” Kalisha perked up at that. “it is after all it is quite a feature”

“you'd be willing to teach me the zebra ways?” Zecora noded and Kalisha did her best to not squee. Though with how her hooves were moving it was clear she was happy.

“Hey Zecora” the two other girls turned to see all three of the CMC. It was apple bloom who spoke. “oh Kalisha ya meet Zecora this is great!” Kalisha rose an eyebrow at that. “we were hopin’ to introduce ya to each other but this works too!”

“a good thing as far as I can tell” Zecora smiled “come and let's talk for a spell” the five of them talked for a bit just random things before the CMC gasped.

“you only know the theory behind making potions” Sweetie bell asked. Kalisha nodded to her with a blush that could be sewn through the cream parts of her fur.

“I'd like to learn how to actually make some but-”

“but nothin’ we can help ya right Zecora?” The older Zebra nodded. “Alright let's go”

The CMC are taking lessons from Pinkie pie she swears. That or she just horribly lost track of how fast they were moving. Most likely the second one.

“so what will we be making first?” That is important to know after all.

“we will be starting with a potion that speeds up ones healing slightly” zecora stated “ it helps with sealing small wounds”

New side quest
Making a lesser healing potion
+50 exp + 100 bits
Bonus: mess up once +?

Kalisha forced herself to not wince at the bonus. She didn't care about that she wouldn't mess up on purpose. Zecora got out the ingredients for the potion. There was apples, adder’s tongue, allspice, Anemone (or wind flowers as they were more commonly known as), and Lemon balm.

Zecora made the first one as an example. she boiled the water in her pot before cutting the apple into slices, removing the seeds as she did so, three slices went in before the adder’s tongue was turned into a paste. The all spice was ground into a powder and mixed with the paste before being put in followed by the flower of the anemone, only the bloom, not the leaves or anything else. Finally the lemon balm was put in. During all this apple bloom was constantly stirring the mixture. It soon became a soft glowing apple red color and zecora put the liquid into several bottles. What was left of the solid materials, which was surprisingly little, were put into what was essentially a compost bin. Though Kalisha decided to observe the liquid.

Lesser healing potion.
A potion that to regular inhabitants of equestria simply speeds up the healing of wounds by a small amount. To a gamer it heals 10 hp immediately.

Kalisha was then next to try. She mimicked the motions Zecora went through. Though unnoticed by her she didn't get a seed out of one of her three apple slices before she put it in. So when she finally was done by putting the lemon balm in it for lack of a better term sputtered and turned a lackluster green color. Kalisha shocked a bit used her observe skill on it.

Lesser poison potion
This potion poisons enemies slightly unless they are immune to poison. It is created by adding apple seeds to a lesser healing potion. DO NOT DRINK.

Your observe skill has become lvl 4.

“uh what just happened” Apple Bloom asked

“I messed up thats what” Kalisha sighed. Then she shook her head a bit. “um what do we do with it?”

“this potion is not one usually made on purpose” Zecora soothed “though it is not like we can dump it into an ocean”

“huh?” the unison of the three CMC was a cute as was their confusion.

“it's a poison” Kalisha started hanging her head. “so getting rid of it without harming the environment would be hard to do” there was a chorus of ohs after that along with Zecora nodding.

“the most we can do” Zecora stepped up “is put it in a vial or two” Kalisha nodded before she and Zecora put the failed potion into some vials. They needed more than two there were about ten lesser poisons.

After getting all the liquid and the toxic solids out they needed to clean the cauldron before continuing to work on making another lesser healing. Though Kalisha had to watch instead of actively helping due to her wheelchair getting in the way. She was currently glaring at the soft green tool.

When the caldron was cleaned she tried again. This time she double checked everything, triple checking her apple slices, before putting them in the pot. She made a very happy sound as the potion was the same soft glowing red thay Zecora’s had been.

Your potion crafting skill has become lvl 2
You have gained the title Potion Apprentice

Side quest complete
Befriend zecora
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus + 1 bag of rose petals

Side quest complete
Making a lesser healing potion
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus: + 1 bundle of silk thread

Kalisha almost twitched at the side quest completion popping up. Still she refrained especially since Zecora was handing her all the potions shed brewed today in a bag. Kalisha thanked her and started off to her hotel room, sending the potions to her inventory once she was there.

“alright then let’s do something else now” Kalisha decided to leave the title for before bed. Then she checked her two items she got. Rose petals were a potion ingredient and silk crafting. That made sense as she made her ID and practiced with her chakram a bit.

Tossing it in the room it hit the chair once before coming back and breaking it. She had to throw it at the bed several times along with the desk. The smaller the item the less hits but soon enough she was simply hissing a bit as her slightly cut up hooves touched the ground and gathering the building materials the furniture ‘dropped’ upon being destroyed.

You have gained the chakram user skill

Wait what. That was a skill she had to gain and probably level. These powers were very weird sometimes. Still she exited the ID before making a new one and repeating the process.

You have leveled you chakram user skill to lvl 2
You have leveled you create ID skill to lvl 2
You can now create ID [zombie]
You can now create ID [potions lab]

That confused Kalisha as she came out pf the second blank dungeon she'd made. She could assume what they both were though. Yet she didn't want to be wrong and checked the.

Create ID [zombie]
This skill allows you to create ID with zombies to fight in them.

Create ID [potions lab]
Unlocked with potions crafting lvl 2 and create ID lvl 2
Your own personal place to make various potions. It comes with everything you need sans the ingredients.

Well obvious was obvious she guessed. Shaking her head she decided to look at her titles. It was dark out now and she was pretty battered from her practice.

Titles
Potion Apprentice
When this title is equipped you have a 5% bonus to succeed in crafting a potion when zecora is around. It gives a bonus to int and wis in combat.

Well it was currently her only title so she equipped it. She actually had to suppress a giggle as she felt a tingle from it activating. Though she hissed and lost a point of hp from pressing her hooves too tightly to her lips. She then went to bed doing her usual nightly ritual.

…
The next day
…
Kalisha stretched her front legs and neck as she woke. Looking at her hooves she nodded seeing she had none of the cuts from her chakram training. Though there were a few nicks in her hooves. It was nothing honestly.

She got out of bed wheelchair at the ready and went out side. Today she just wanted to relax no side quest prompting her to do anything. She just wanted to do some shopping maybe find some crafting materials or even a skill book that would allow her to use said items.

Side quest
Find Sandbar
Meet with Sandbar and hang out for a bit!
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus: get him to hold your shopping
bags + 200 bits

Kalisha’s eye twitched violently at that. She then ran into an alleyway made an Blank ID and cursed out Murphy’s Law before leaving it. Well looks like she had an side quest to go on. She would never provoke Murphy ever again.

She didn't find Sandbar as much as he found her. She had honestly got distracted by the antique store. Hey Sunburst bought a bunch of books from it why couldn't she?

“I didn't know you liked antiques” Sandbar looked rather confused. “Not many ponies do”

“oh it’s not the majority of them just the books” Kalisha giggled “and the blind barrels those are always fun”

“If you say so” sandbar responded with a shrug.

“hey wanna hang out after I'm done shopping here? I'm not gonna take too long since well” she pointed to her wheelchair. Sandbar grinned and nodded. “cool be right back” she went to a shelf with a lot of books on it and used her observe skill.

Magic and mayhem a guide to avoiding blowing things up
If you were a unicorn or had a magic weapon this would be a skill book...as you are this is a regular book till lvl 40

Really really not cool not cool at all! Shaking her head she grabbed it. Might as well grab it now and have it for later than go to get it later and it not be there. The other books with it were books about something in old ponish. Her observe skill just bluntly told her they weren't skill books.

Through the entire search she found only 2 more skill books, blacksmithing and woodworking. Sadly much like the magic book she couldn't use them yet though because she wasn't lvl 10 opposed to the much more demanding magic book. She paid for them and went next to sandbar.

“lets go have some fun what do you wanna do?” Kalisha asked as the two trotted out. Sandbar just grinned at her.

…
Later after being dorks and some more shopping
…

“how did I end up carrying your things again?” Sandbar asked with much confusion. Kalisha was honestly just as confused and shrugged as they went to the hotel she was staying at.

“Either way thanks I can take it all from here” Kalisha smiled

“you sure” sandbar got a nod in return before he handed over Kalisha’s things to her. Kalisha then trotted off to her room waving goodbye to Sandbar.

Side quest complete
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus + 200 bits

Good with that out of the way Kalisha decided to put her things in her inventory. She then went into the bed putting away her wheelchair as usual. She also was mentally threatening whatever divine force was up there to not give her a side quest again for the next few days. She had plans dang it!

Side questing in an ID

Kalisha had gotten her wish. Four days straight she didn't have any side quest. Most that time she spent relaxing and hanging out with sandbar, she was ever grateful she didn't get quest prompts around him now those made her feel awkward when interacting with him, or working on making potions with Zecora, and from time to time apple bloom. So naturally today she got a side quest.

Side quest
Grind time
Get to lvl 5 in the Zombie ID
Rewards 0 exp 500 bits
Bonus: Take a friend with you + ?

There was one problem with the bonus. Namely that she hadn't told anyone about her powers yet. Still generally the bonus was worth it, even if she couldnt use it yet. She pulled up her menu where her Buddies list was being highlighted for some reason. So she tapped on it.

Your buddies list keeps track of all the friends you make and other details. If you form a party with any of your buddies you can share your equipment and items with them while your in the ID. The buddies list also tells you where they currently are outside of the IDs.

That was super freaking creepy if she was going to go find any of her friends she'd do so without the creepy buddies list. Honestly it was only good for the equipment and item sharing! With that she trotted off to go find Sandbar. His level headed personality would probably help her out more, and he was more likely to believe her, unless zebras had meet other gamers…

Kalisha shook her head at that. Find Sandbar, explain things to him, prove it somehow. Wait how did she form a party? Kalisha pulled up the help screen and ah there!

When forming a party you must use the command “create party” before choosing to have party members by using the “invite (name here)” command.

That was relatively simple. She could do that. Hopefully without freaking out sandbar too much. She continued her search for the water themed earth pony. She found him at sugar cube corner.

“Hey sandbar” he turned to look at her and smiled.

“hey Kalisha how are you?”

“Fine there was something I wanted to talk to you about do you have time?” he nodded and walked up to her. She ended up dragging him to where they wouldn't be over heard or seen. Granted this action confused him. “Sandbar what I'm about to tell you is something that'd make people think I'm crazy...and not in the pinkie pie way”

“Oh-k” he tilted his head a bit in confusion.

“To start this off I'm from a different dimension, and no not the Canterlot high dimension” Kalisha quickly shushed Sandbar with that. “the dimension I’m from well it's a human world too but...nothing like here or CHS” she rubbed a hoof on the upper part of her right leg. “that's not the crazy part seeing as the princess of friendship has been to another dimension”

“Then what is the crazy part?”

“The fact I did not come to Equestria on my own decision some strange force decided I would and gave me the power of something called “The Gamer” which is proving to be both a blessing and a curse”

“that is crazy” Sandbar blinked “you have a way to prove it don't you”

“create party”

Do you wish to name your party?

Kalisha named it side questing. “Invite Sandbar” the colt jumped a bit when the accept or deny screen popped up.

“ok...whys is it called side questers”

“Because the thing that prompted me to tell you was a side quest that wants me to get to lvl 5 and bring a buddy with me” Sandbar blinked at that “I had planned on telling you just not today I was actually hoping to level of my own violation to get to your level first and yes you do have a level everyone in equestria does and my ability allows me to see names levels and titles of people unless they are higher level than me by a certain amount”

“So you don't really need people to introduce themselves to you?”

“Technically no but it makes me look less crazy if people actually do introduce themselves to me” Sandbar had to give her that.

“So what is my level and title at that”

“10 and turtle caretaker” Kalisha sighed “please hit accept or deny sandbar”

“oh right” he hit accept. With that Kalisha created an ID [zombies]. “whoa”

“yeah IDs are a little trippy at first” Kalisha stated “well less so for me since my ability basically makes it to where I'm fairly calm in most if not all situations. Oh and because were in a party together you have access to my inventory and equipment...granted the only equipment I have is my wheelchair and my Chakram” Sandbar could only nod as she summoned the weapon.

“uh how do I access your inventory then”

“when I do it I think menu and then inventory” She had to admit watching him jump a bit when the screen appeared was funny.

“Why do you have so many lesser poison potions?” she couldn't blame him for wanting to know.

“I botched making lesser healing potions” she hung her head “those are the results” Sandbar nodded. That's when they heard a groan and looked up. Sandbar looked sick at the sight of the Zombie pony, Kalisha didn't look much better. It was a walking corpse how could they not find it gross? Kalisha observed it.

Zombie
Lvl 3
HP 100/100
It's a walking undead corps. Pretty gross and actually pretty hard to kill. They don't feel much pain due to being dead and physically harming them is a pain.

“who wrote that description?” Kalisha wondered out loud “and before you ask sandbar one of the abilities I have as a gamer allows me to see details on what I'm fighting. The Zombie is level 3 and has 100 hp” She then summoned her chakram and threw it slicing the zombies cheek for 15 hp of damage. Sandbar decidedly threw one of the lesser poisons at it.

“...when I can I am somehow getting you a weapon” Kalisha stated dodging the zombie, which then took 5 hp of damage from the poison. The fact she could dodge it surprised her slightly but she didn't focus on that and instead slashed it with her Chakram doing 15 more points of damage. Sandbar then kicked it in the back doing 10 points of damage.

It lashed out at sandbar and smacked his upper leg. He let out a his and a wince as he took 20 points of damage. Then it took another 5 points of damage. Kalisha slammed her Chakram down on its head doing 20 points of damage to the dang zombie.

You have created a new skill Blade Bash

Did that thing have to pop up in the middle of a fight?! She was pulled out of that thought by sandbar doing another 10 points of damage. It swung at her smacking her in the eye. She cursed heavily as she lost 15 hp. It took 5 hp damage from the poison before she finished it off by slashing her chakram for the final 15 points of damage.

You are now lvl 4

There Kalisha nodded as she pulled out a lesser healing potion and drank it restoring the hp she lost. Sandbar followed her example, though drinking two. While he did that Kalisha wondered how he took more damage he is a higher level than her after all and that zombie had been her level! Seriously it didn't make sense!

“well that's one of two levels down” Kalisha sighed hanging her head, going over to the dropped loot. “I am going to have to grind to level ten to get you some things Sandbar because this is ridiculous whatever logic these zombies run on is a headache”

“why ten”

“because there two skills i can't get till then that'd help” Sandbar nodded at that answer. Kalisha then used her observe skill on the dropped loot.

Tooth of the dead
A rather disgusting crafting item. It's said to have resentment of the dead in it.

“...ew nope, Nope, And nope” Kalisha walked away from that. She was not touching a tooth from any undead being ever.

“do I-”

“no no you do not let's just continue to kill zombies” Kalisha shivered before the next two zombies came up. Both were lvl 4. “two lvl 4 zombies fun” their hp bars still showed 100 hp, she tossed her Chakram at them, both got hit for 15 hp each. Sandbar threw the tabasco sauce this time and the zombie it hit screeches and struggled in pain. The two zombies lunged, Sandbar was quick to get out of the way. Kalisha screamed as one of the zombies bit her ankle of her left front leg costing her 20 hp. The burned zombie then lost 20 hp

Kalisha mentally noted this weakness as she used her Blade bash skill on the one with more HP, taking out 20 hp. Sandbar threw a lesser poison on the one that wasn't under the burned condition. The zombies lunged again, Sandbar was able to dodge but again Kalisha got hit. She now sported a bleeding cut on her face from the zombies bone that was poking off its leg she was down 15 more hp. The zombies lost 5 and 20 hp depending on their status.

Kalisha growled as she downed a cupcake. Sandbar smacked the poisoned zombie with a kick lowering its hp by 10. The zombies lashed out with their own kicks. Kalisha managed to turn herself to where the kick bounced off her wheelchair, which gave her a bruise and lowered her hp by 5. Sandbar yelled as the other zombie hit his chest. The zombies then lost the 5 hp and 20 hp.

Kalisha bashed the one with more hp, which meant a target switch, with her Chakram again . Sandbar followed by kicking its jaw. That was enough to take out that zombie. The remaining zombie lunged at sandbar, who dodged, before losing 5 hp. Kalisha finished it off with a swing of her chakram.

They had a moment to heal and breath a bit before going forwards, they dropped teeth and a rib bone Kalisha wasn't touching the latter no matter how much you could try and get her too. Kalisha wanted to scream as three lvl 4 zombies showed up. Needless to say the fight went similarly to the last, only with sandbar using only lesser poisons and Kalisha using her blade bash skill every time until she couldn't. They both downed a cupcake when that wave was over.

The next wave was a single level 5 zombie with 200 hp. Kalisha wasted no time in bashing it on the head. Then going wide eyed as she only did 15 points of damage. She then looked like she wanted to cry. Sandbar just threw the lesser poison as per usual. The level five zombie then kicked Kalisha hard enough she fell out of her wheelchair. It took 5 hp of damage from the poison,good to know that seemed set.

Kalisha threw her chakram doing 10 hp worth of damage to the zombie. Sandbar kicked its chin for another 10 hp. That made Kalisha wonder if he had an ability that cause him to always do 10 hp worth of damage. The zombie lunged at Kalisha only to get another kick to the face by sandbar, which actually did 30 hp of damage. It then lost another 5 hp from its poison. Kalisha started crawling back to her wheelchair, or more accurately drag herself.

Kalisha, stuck on the ground for now, threw her Chakram again. It got the zombie across the throat as it came back, 15 hp of damage right there. Sandbar kicked it again for another 10 hp of damage. It attacked sandbar who dodged. It then took 5 points of damage. Kalisha continued to drag herself to her chair.

She was almost there she threw her chakram again doing another 10 points of damage. Sandbar continued attacking it himself doing another 10 points. It lunged at Kalisha only to get hit away by sandbar again for 30 points. Then its poison caused it to lose 5. Kalisha was able to touch her chair. She put it in her inventory before pulling it back out with her in it again.

Kalisha bashed the zombie on the head in anger doing 15 points of damage with sandbars attack once again doing another 10. It attacked snabar who screamed a bit, ok a lot actually, as it bit down on his back. It then died because of its poison leaving behind a glowing purple crystal. Kalisha didn't bother observing it as she just chucked it into her inventory. Before she and sandbar healed some.

At this point she didnt care she just closed the ID, disbanded the party Then looked at the time. It was only noon.

“...I am going shopping then heading to bed I don't know how Im not utterly exhausted from that.” Kalisha sighed. She'd deal with the points later.

“It was pretty exhausting” no arguments. The two then split ways.

Author's Note

Also lvl 10 because thats what lvl sandbar is also the glaive will not be Sandbar's sandbar's weapon along with most everyone elses will be gotten next ch

The Shop and lvl 6

Author's Note

Well I have decided the weapons sorta. Also yes I used my oc I named my account after in here along with her older brother hehe.

The Shop and lvl 6

The next day after a failed shopping trip…

Kalisha was glaring at the screen in front of her. Her gamer ability now had a thing called the Shop as an ID choice. She had no clue what it was doing but she guessed there was only one way to find out. She created the ID.

She soon found herself in a market with all kinds of equestrian creatures. Ponies of all three of the main pony races, zebras, griffons, buffalo, if it was a sentient creature in equestria then, aside from alicorns draconaquises and changeling rulers, it was there.

“Ah so a new gamer has come to play” a dragon looking over a weapon stated. She was bipedal like most the named dragons a brilliant jade color with softer green accents and amber colored eyes “Equestria hasn't had one for a long time...in this timeline at least” she leaned forward “I'm still the blacksmith of the Shop you need a weapon or armor and I'm your gal same with upgrading them”

“Faye Winters though I go by Kalisha in Equestria what is the shop” Kalisha asked

“The Shop is a place for Gamers of this time line to be able to buy things they couldn't in Equestria proper like weapons armor items that have certain effects in battle materials not obtained in equestria that sort of stuff” steel answered “you can also sell items you get if you don't want or need” Kalisha nodded then it made sense.

“Why do you keep saying this timeline?”

“Because time and dimensions are not really straightforward and certain things only happen in certain versions of them. This just happens to be something bound to the gamers in this version of it” Steel stated

“I'm not sure if that really explains it but ok” Kalisha was honestly still very confused. “so what is every place?”

“That I can't really explain much if you want answers go talk to Flower Finder he’s the unicorn over there. Kalisha turned to the unicorn mentioned and winced seeing his broken horn. Otherwise he was bright blue with a white muzzle and hooves and purple splotches on his coat. His mane and tail a black that became green at the tips and was braided. His cutie mark was a flower under a magnifying lens. “word of advice though do not ask about the horn ever” Klaisha could only nod before walking up to him.

“Another gamer huh? Guess the universe doesn't like taking breaks.” Flower sighed when she got near. “alright kid what do you need I've got two jobs here. If you just stand there your wasting my time with both of them”

“Steel said you could tell me what everyone does” Flower sighed and nodded.

“One of my jobs is informing the gamers who enter here about the shop” Flower confirmed “ the other is finding things from other worlds for the shops to sell” He then pointed at a grey unicorn that was similar to him but with brown splotches and a purple tipped blue mane. His cutie mark being an windflower with a green swirl around it“Anemone is where you buy medicines or your potion ingredients” Then to a green camo colored earth pony with a black mane and...well it was hard to see but he had an Emerald for a cutie mark. “Emerald Grove is an appraiser he’ll tell you how much something is worth I'll warn you now anything but gemstones takes a while”

Then he motioned to a crimson colored...well she wasn't a dragon but she looked like a wingless bipedal one. “Shula is where you go to buy gemstones and ores and if you have a mining skill pickaxes” then to a green and blue hippogriff “Bubble light is a general market common items are his forte though sometimes he's got rarer items in stock” He then pointed to a gray black and red earth pony with a red mane and had a need with a ruby colored thread in and around it. “Ruby Thread and her assistant Felicia” who is a Turkish angora cat person ala capper with white fur black hair and heterochromia clad in a purple dress “sell accessories and clothes the latter of which are in fact different from armor Trust me having those two and steel angry isn't fun”

He then pointed at a pegasus with tan fur and white markings on it and a blue mane that became whiteish at the tips. “Maple skies is the holder of all the baked good based items here and next to her” A pair of changelings one of which was tiny not breezy tiny bit still small green and orange, her legs, horn, and part of her back shell all did a fading effect, changeling with orange wings and an orange mane like frill. The other larger changeling was black colored with dark blue accents, one of which was on his muzzle the other of which was his legs in a fading effect and his back shell, with dark blue wings and a mane like frill as well though his was considerably more spiky. “Araneae and Vespula run the tarot cafe you get your drink based items and read fortunes that can up your luck stat”

Now he was pointing to. Kalisha winces a bit at the griffon. He was a goldish tan color with black accents quite pretty in that regard. What made her wince was that one of his back paws was gone the stump covered in a clean bandage and that feathers and fur were missing around his right eye which was closed and a bit scarred over. “Grey there is the only one of us who can leave he's the rescue party he’ll save you and your friends butts if you get close to dying in an ID or deliver items that you ordered but can't get immediately he also sometimes works with Ane...dont bring up his wounds he gets bad flashbacks from them” Kalisha could only nod. “there are some other services but they aren't available to you till you’re lvl 10”

“what is with the level restriction?” Kalisha asked then. Honestly it seemed like they were paranoid.

“some gamers have really abused their abilities in the past so things were set up to where that couldn't happen this time around” Flower shrugged. Well that made some sense. In video games you were rarely uber powerful at the beginning and even if you were it was from a new game + still not the very beginning.

Kalisha then went back to steel’s stand. The dragon was hammering away at something. “Hey Steel what kind of weapons do you sell?”

“I sell a pretty big variety, swords, polearms, hand weapons, bladed, blunt, if its a weapon or armor and not magic I'm your girl” Steel stated “you wanna take a look at what I got?”

“yeah I figured I might as well look at all the shops available to me”

“good plan” Steel nodded before tapping on the counter. It unfolded to show a lot of weapons everything from regular swords and such to snake swords bows crossbows. Kalisha took a bit to look. She got a set of basic greaves, which for ponies was four, for Sandbar.

She knew she was going to meet gallus and the others later so she also browsed for them. She got a snake sword for Smolder. Gallus would be given the glaive she has. Occellus would be better with a magic weapon so sadly she got nothing for her yet.A shovel for Yona cause Rockhoof when it got there, till then she got Yona a bo staff. Silver stream was hard to pick for and in the end Kalisha just grabbed a bow for her with some arrows.

She also got a set of basic leather armor for herself. She also managed to have just the needed amount of things to upgrade her chakram as well, yae nails being made out of metal, and did so. Though this took all her bits to buy. She decided to sell her remaining poisons to have some funds.

“ok then I think that's everything for now” Kalisha nodded before preparing to leave the id.

“oh before you go the shop also has a board where you can get a bunch of side quest for IDs not all of them pop up randomly” Flower pointed at the big green board with papers pinned to it. “If you ever need something to do it wouldn't hurt to take a look.” well she could agree to that.

She then left the ID and saw that on her menu screen there was a pair of wings that looked like Grey’s on it now. “well good luck on keeping us alive Grey, you may need it”

“...” Kalisha then sighed shaking her head “I should see if Sandbar would like to test out the greaves tomorrow. It'd be nice to know if my weapon choices where good for them.” Though Yona’s shovel would definitely come handy later. “for now I probably should find something else to do...maybe I could just go and read my daring doo book outside…” she decided against that and just hummed.

She shrugged and then went into her zombie ID. She might as well grind up to lvl 6. Though she equipped her armor before hand.

Entering she saw a level five zombie right off the bat. It had 200 hp which annoyed Kalisha. She quickly threw her chakram and grinned as it did 30 points of damage! The zombie lunged at her. And only did ten points of damage from biting into her legs which were protected by her armor, at most it left a bruise.

She then bashed it on the head for 40 points of damage. It them back hooved her for 15 points of damage and a bloody nose. She bashed it again for another 40 points. The zombie tried to bite her again. She turned so her wheelchair got the brunt of the attack, she still got a bruise and 5 points of hp damage.

She slashed the zombie with her chakram doing another 30 points of damage. She only needed two more hits and it'd be down. The zombie then bit her leg again for 10 more points of damage before she bashed its head on the ground hard enough to stun it on top of the damage. The stun allowed her to finish it off.

You have gained a new skill Stun Bash
A slightly harder version of the blade bash but useful if you pull it off.

Wow her gamer ability was snarky wasn't it? Still she healed up then continued on beating up Zombies till she got the level ping.

You are now lvl 6.

Kalisha left the ID as soon as she got that message. Once back in the real world she put away her armor and Chakram she then pulled up her stats.

That done Kalisha stretched as much as she could and went to bed. She would probably grind till she was lvl 10 tomorrow. Then shed use those skill books she bought a while ago. It'd be less bits spent upgrading things. Plus she'd get new things in the shop! Maybe shed also pick up a side quest or two...

Lvl 10

Author's Note

Welp Kalisha finally stops beimg lazy frint hooves and gets her but into gear about becoming lvl 10 next ch is finally getting into School Daze

Lvl 10

Kalisha groaned as she got up popping her joints the best she could. Then she got out of her bed into her wheelchair as per usual. She planned on going to the quest board for the shop to see if anything interested her then was going to grind till she was level 10. She wanted to be at Sandbar's level when school started, which wasn't too far away.

She went to the shop ID and waved to Steel and gave Flower a nod. The unicorn nodded back as Steel gave a lazy wave. Kalisha then went straight to the board where a blue crystal pony with a two toned mane and...gypsy horse like leg fur, a Sapphire with a song note on it being her cutie mark, was putting up some request.

“You must be the new gamer” The pony stated “I am Sapphire song I am incharge of updating the side quest here” she then went off. Kalisha felt awkward about that. She then shook her head and looked at the board.

Well all three side quest were rather simple and easy. She grabbed all of them and first delivered the wood she had to Steel. The dragon thanked her and ruffled her mane a bit.

Side quest complete
Wood needed
+50 hp +100 bits

Kalisha then left the shop ID and went to her Zombie ID, with her armor on of course. Anemone’s side quest would have to be the last one she did.

She first encountered two lvl 6 zombies and grinned. She threw her chakram doing 30 damage to both. They lunged at her but she spun to smack them with her wheelchair. That did 20 points hp of damage.

You have developed a new skill Counter.

That was cool but not important right now. She swung her weapon again. Another 30 points of damage. She was really getting into the rhythm of fighting as one of the zombies bit her leg and the other scratched her for 20 points of damage total.

She bashed one on the head for 40 points of damage. It was almost down. They lunged again and Kalisha hissed as the both whacked her in the face for 20 hp. She bashed the one shed already hit. One more and it'd be down. She lost another 20 hp with their attack. She bashed the one that was almost down again to finish it off. She then had to counter the other one for 20 points of its health.

She downed a cupcake really quick. Feeling the wounds mend was an odd experience she'd never get use to but it was better than anything else she could hope for.The zombie lashed out at her again and she bashed it after losing 10 hp. She just needed to hit it two more times… and she eventually did. After the fight she downed a cupcake and a lesser healing potion.

you are now lvl 7

Kalisha would look at her stats and such later. Now she had to look to see what the zombies dropped. She shivered as it was the teeth and rib and not the crystal. So she noped on over to the next fight.

Three fights later she finally downed a zombie that had one of the crystals. She cheered picking it up. “three down two ta go” Kalisha grinned.

You are now lvl 8

“mmm Taking longer to level not surprised that happens in games” Kalisha shrugged as she continued on. She ate another cupcake before she ran into the next fight. She was starting to take more damage again. These zombies were actually lvl 9 and had 300 hp. It was ridiculous but she could manage. She did hope for a new ID after words though.

You are now lvl 9

That rang out as Kalisha got her last two shards she needed for Emerald’s quest. She then left the ID. She then created an Potions Lab ID so she could get to work making the 10 lesser healing potions. Once they were made she closed that ID.

You can now Create ID [ghost]

Kalisha rolled her eyes as she opened up the shop’s ID. She Went to Emerald first. He actually rose an eyebrow at her but accepted the gems.

Side quest complete
+50 exp +100 bits

Then she went to Anemone and handed over the potions. The unicorn thanked her as the vials were encased in a soft purple glow. Kalisha just grinned feeling good about finishing the side quest.

Side quest complete
+50 exp +100 bits
Bonus + 5 wind flowers

Her luck was her highest stat...she was not surprised by this. She didn't want to be screwed over by it so she put points into it. She then shook her head and left the ID.

“I can use those skill books now!” Kalisha realized before getting on her bed and pulling out the metal works book. She spent the rest of the day reading that book.

You have gained the Blacksmithing skill
You have gained the ID [Forge]

Ok that was weird but made some sense. She doubted there were many known blacksmiths in ponyville. She put the book back into her inventory before pulling out the wood working book. She spent all night reading it.

You have gained the carpentry skill
The ID [Forge] now has a woodworking area.

Neat. Now she just needed to actually try her skills out. That is after visiting Shula. This meant another trip to the shop. At some point she was taking Sandbar there.

As soon as she was in there she noticed two new shops. One ran by a white and mint green bat pony, who was honestly really pretty, that seemed to be a bookstore. The other was ran by a kirin whose fur was cream mane was a soft blue and scales were a brighter blue. Naturally Kalisha went to bug Flower about the shops.

“now that your level 10 you can now actively buy skill books and sell ones you don't need any more, or just books in general, Legend Chaser is in charge of that.. she’ll also give you more money for any history or informative books period.” Flower stated “the other is the enchantment shop unlike the rest of the shops it doesn't take bits. Spring Rain instead just requires you get the items to enchant the weapon or armor yourself”

“Alright thanks Flower” the unicorn with a broken horn just waves her onwards. Still she first stopped by Shula’s shop to get some ores...and ask what Shula was.

“I get asked that a lot...I’m a Drake we’re similar to dragons but we only get to the size of minotaurs at the largest and never grow wings” Shula stated handing Kalisha the ore in exchange for bits. “It also figures that when you finally hit lvl 10 some of your new perks are late to show”

“Late?” Shula nodded with a sigh. “I can come back later and see though right?” Shula grinned. That was a yes she assumed before going over to legend chasers stand. She sold her two skill books she didn't need and were going to use as reference ever and her daring doo book.

Flower had not been kidding about what he said about Legend. Legend bought her skill books for twice of what she bought them for and the daring doo book for the price she bought it at. She then bought a guide to modifying weapons, a skill book that would increase her blacksmithing skill. Then got some more ore.

Kalisha then left and opened the forge’s ID. She read the skill book before getting started. She wanted to be well prepared after all.

You blacksmithing skill is now lvl 2

Good with that she starred working on upgrading all the weapons. Starting with her’s and Sandbar’s of course.

…
A while later
…

Yout blacksmithing skill is now level 8
Your woodworking skill is now level 3

Kalisha sighed in relief putting all the weapons into her inventory. Ocellus was the only one she had yet to get a weapon for since magic user is what screamed at Kalisha when thinking of the changeling. She'd probably have to visit Spring Rain after this to make one for Ocellus.

Still Kalisha was proud of what she’d done already. She exited the forge and went to her bed. She should probably try and up some of her other skills tomorrow...

School Daze pt 1

Author's Note

And so begins the start of the 'actual episode' chs

School Daze pt 1

Kalisha spent her remaining time before the beginning of the friendship school ether spending time with Sandbar or getting her skill levels up to the same level as she actually was. Granted for a couple that wasn't hard, her stun bash skills level was determined by her blade bash skills level and one of her skills had only been two lvls away from 10.

New Quest
Beginning school
+1000 exp +500 bits
Bonus: prevent Ocellus from crashing into the tower + 5 enchanters crystals

Now she was walking next to Sandbar on the day of the school opening, freaking out because it's school and she got a quest. She got accepted which was good. It was also nerve wracking because as far as she knew she was going to be the only disabled creature there!

“Kal you doing ok” Sandbar asked giving her a worried look.

“No I am a nervous wreck right now. Also quest” She wanted to cry a bit as Sandbar nodded to that last one. Then she saw the mass of other students. Most of them were level 10 like her and sandbar. However 5 stuck out. Yona the Yak her level was 19, title Klutz. Silverstream the hippogriff/hippocampus level 21 title excited waterbearer. Ocellus the Changeling level 25 title timid shapeshifter. Smolder the Dragon level 28 title fire child. Finally Gallus the Griffon level 30?! That was a shock to Kalisha it was going to take a bit to get everyone to be equal leveled holy heck. Then his title was something that made Kalisha wince, Lone Orphan. Tough she’d yet to spot Cozy Glow.

She stood with Sandbar waiting for the doors to open. Sandbar noticed her staring above people's heads. He shrugged it off assuming she was looking at levels and titles, which proved to be right when she groaned about grinding quietly.

Then the doors opened and students walked or flew in. Kalisha yelped as she was almost ran over. Soon she was just watching as he ran into Gallus. Though before he could say his “here’s your sign” line she spoke up.

“Hi Im Kalisha and this is Sandbar who are you?” Sandbar glanced at her a bit then remembered she didn't want to seem crazy.

“Gallus” the uniquely colored Griffon stated “what’s with that thing?” he pointed at her wheelchair before Grandpa Gruff called him away.

“I never did ask how you came to need a wheelchair” Sandbar then stated after his eyes followed Gallus.

“...I was born like this” Kalisha’s ears went back. “I've been in a wheelchair all my life. I never learned how to walk or run because I was physically incapable of it”

“Well you can do both now even of it is with only your front legs” Kalisha smiled at Sandbar. Well until she got a face full of soft pink feathers to the face.

“Are you a zebra” the excited voice of Silver stream asked as she backed up enough Kalisha could see her face.

“Yes I'm Kalisha” She smiled a bit as Silverstream squealed and introduced herself shaking Kalisha’s hoove with her talons vigorously. Then she was off again.

“...How high is her agility and Vitality to be able to have that much energy” Kalisha pondered with Sandbar shrugging.

“Thank you for supporting us for the grand opening of our school” Headmare Twilight Sparkle spoke up above all the noise with a calm and friendly tone. “I hope you'll join us for friends and family day to see the amazing progress your students are making”

With that everyone started off to their first day. Which like most first days was just getting to know a bit about the teachers and what they’d be learning. Then they were taken to their new dorm rooms. Kalisha wondered how there was a room available to everyone separately. She shook her head and sighed she knew the next few days were going to be heck.She invited Sandbar to a party to message him.

-hey Sandbar I was thinking after class tomorrow heading into an ID wanna come with?-

-sure. Do you have any plans for anyone else to join?-

-Only when we reach their lvls which means it’s going to be a bit before Gallus joins in he's the highest lvl person here besides the staff of the school with him being lvl 30-

-lvl 30?! What caused that-

-Dunno exactly but his species, lvl, and title don't paint a pretty picture-

-don't pry?-

-don't pry.-

With that they ended the party and she layed on the bed. She didn't sleep since her gamer ability made it to where she didn't need to, and she didn't need to heal. So she simply looked out to the starry night.

….
The next day
….
The classes had gone in the same way as they had in the show on the first day, being like a regular school. Kalisha was excited though as she and Sandbar were going to go lvl shortly. With them being the lowest lvl of their group of friends they really needed to catch up.

“ok were first going to an ID I have called the shop” Was the first thing Kalisha stated when Sandbar had the door shut. She invited him to party and he accepted.

Kalisha then opened the shop’s ID. Sandbar gapped at the sight of the shop. Emerald and Ruby saw this and the former sighed while the latter giggled. She then took Sandbar over to Steel so they could get him some armor.

After that they left the shop and went to the zombie ID. Kalisha equipped her Chakram and her armor and sandbar equipped his grieves and armor.

“ok so Yona is lvl 19 so she'll be the easiest to catch up with” Kalisha stated “we can probably get to lvl 15 before we have to go to bed” With that they started off.

The lull of killing zombies was at best, relaxing. With both her and sandbar properly equipped and sandbar always having his level added to his damage, they found out he had a skill that added his level to his damage it was passive and always active. So getting to level 15 had been rather easy and they were able to leave the ID long before bed.

That let Sandbar be able to leave without suspicion. This also let Kalisha look at her stats. She needed to put in the new stat points anyways.

She dumped 10 points into luck. Then she dumped 5 into her agility, it may always be lower than the rest of her stats but that didn't mean it had to be completely abysmal, plus it was already only getting a point every other lvl. She then put three into int and wis each and 2 into str and vit each.

Ok since that was done she dispelled the screen and got into her bed. She needed to get some personal items at some point later. That thought done with she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

….

The next day started out fun. Really fun with pinkie putting confetti in the books. Kalisha giggled a bit as it poofed into her face. Then Twilight came in. The Headmare switching things to a typical school setting throughout the day was a little annoying.

After class she and Sandbar headed to the Zombie ID. Kalisha ranted as she beat up zombies. Sandbar stayed quiet as she did so and just fought them.

“I know she’s suppose to keep the school running properly but we’re learning friendship!” Kalisha ranted as she bashed a Zombie on the head three times.

You created a new skill Triple blade bash

Kalisha ignored that as she continued to vent her stress on the zombies. Though it didn't last as long as she'd hoped since she and Sandbar reached lvl 19. She immediately organized her point distribution.

……

The next few days were spent relatively the same. In short everyone was bored, the students, the teachers. Everyone was also rising in stress, aside from Kalisha who made a blank ID every night to vent and level her skills up to match her actual level.

“These ponies are the heroes of Equestria?” Smolder growled out.

“I am sure they act different” Kalisha started “when you know they aren't being forced to follow certain rules”

“These ponies also saved us from the storm king” Sandbar added before Kalisha face palmed...face hooved sorry. It would've became a double face hoove had she not needed the other one to stand properly. The fight that quickly escalated ended when Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Starlight showed up before sending them to their next class.

“This is a mess” Kalisha sighed. She was rubbing her temple with one of her hooves. There was no clue that things would go differently yet.

…….

Well until it was time for them to skip class. She and Sandbar had followed Gallus and Smolder. Once Sandbar said his part.

“I'm coming too I need relaxation” After that thing once again went as they did in the show with the sneaking out. Kalisha growled a bit as here wheelchair kept catching on grass. Eventually they were all by the lake.

“Sweet mother of the fates I am so glad to be out of there” Kalisha stated relaxing as best she could in her wheelchair.

“tell me about it i mean how are we supposed to learn anything about friendship like that” Gallus snarked.

“Im sure if the teachers could teach like they wanted to instead of the stupid rule books way we'd be a lot better off” Kalisha stated. The others murmured in agreement.

“what’s with that weird thing you've got Kalisha?” Silverstream asked poking it.

“my wheelchair? Im paraplegic so I can't use my back legs at all” Kalisha stated. “So I have my wheelchair to help me move around”

“how'd that happen?”

“born that way” After that they just talked. Then came time for Gallus’ breathing fire story and Smolder’s race. After a while of running and laughing Kalisha felt herself being lifted in the air. She turned and looked amused as Silverstream was carrying her, via front part of her wheelchair. Gallus was carrying sandbar as per the original show. Smolder and Ocellus were holding Yona.

Well that meant no shapeshifting for Ocellus. When Smolder was about to suggest it to the changeling Kalisha spoke up. “Do you want to carry Yona by yourself and possibly drop her?”

“no”

“good then we should probably head to friends and family day” the others paused they'd forgotten before the were off towards where the event was taking place. So there was less chaos when the students landed.

Things went calmly until Headmare Twilight brought over a pony that Kalisha honestly wished she could punch. Well currently Chancellor Neighsay the white and black ding ding of a pony.

“and these are some of our most valued students” Kalisha prepared herself for backlash
Once Twilight said that.

“These are students” Neighsay asked almost as if offended. Twilight looked confused as she nodded. “You said you were opening this school to defend ponies”

“Sir may I interrupt this is a friendship school last I checked friendship was about communicating and understanding differences” That and Kalisha knew that's Twilight had actually said. Neighsay glared at Kalisha making her flinch. It didn't help she couldn't see his lvl.

“Kalisha is correct that's actually what I said during the presentation even” Twilight confirmed. Neighsay turned back to the princess.

“In order to protect them from dangerous creatures that don't have our best interest at heart” Neighsay was practically growling. He'd jestered to the students. Twilight looked like someone hit her. She held a hoof to her chest even.

“The students aren't dangerous creatures they are representatives of our allies” Twilight putting a hoof down.

“They are a threat to pony kind” Neighsay stated “now I believe this discussion is over I am shutting this school down” Kalisha gasped as the nation leaders were all stunned in various ways. Ember looked angry along with grandpa gruff and Prince Rutherford. Thorax looked like someone slapped him much like Twilight. General Seaspray was just standing their emotionlessly.

“if Celestia hears you shut the school down because-” Twilight was livid and Thorax at least snapped out of his shock to go closer to where she was, followed by Ember.

“you failed to meet EEA standards?” Neighsay stated his attention only on the princess of friendship. So he didn't see Sandbar and Silverstream holding back Kalisha by her wheelchair. She wanted to throttle him. Let her at him please.

“What” Twilight, Thorax and Ember actually spoke at the same time, one of shock, one of confusion, one of anger. Honestly Ember was taking this better than most would give her credit for.

“The school was disorganised, The teachers Unqualified” Neighsay started, Thorax held Ember back, though he looked pretty confused, Twilight was the most organized Pony he knew. “and those dangerous and unpredictable students could put pony lives in danger” Did this man not see the two very angry women having to be held back by multiple people to not kill him. At that moment he used his medallions power to close the school and leave. Twilight collapsing and crying.

“Twilight are you alright” Thorax asked. The other three male leaders (or leader representative in Seaspray's case) took their students back home.

“No I just had Neighsay insult you two and all the other leaders practically to your faces, upset my friends, and got my school uncredited” Twilight stated to the Changeling king. “Im surprised you don't hate me right now” With that she walked off leaving a group of people watching her do so sadly. Kalisha could only stand there with sandbar as it dwindled to just them. Ember and Thorax taking Smolder and Ocellus back to their kingdoms with them.

Tutorial and meeting sandbar

Author's Note

well then lets start this crazy ride...I kinda wish I could just have selected all six of the young six dor the charater tags since they are ALL important to this story

Edit: I merged my first two chs on a suggestion. A lot happens here.

Tutorial and meeting sandbar

A girl was sighing as she moved along the sidewalk. She was in a wheelchair a blanket neatly tucked around her legs. Long brown hair draped over the sides of her pale neck as green eyes looked dully a head. Then a flash of light soft and warm wrapped around her. She was gone wheelchair and all.

She appeared in a strange blue area with floating orbs of white light. Her hand flew to her chest gripping the white fabric of her shirt.

Faye Winters you have been chosen to become a being known as The Gamer. You will soon awake in a new world ;but before that we have a few things to take care of.

Faye rose an eyebrow at that. What was The Gamer? She had seen fanfiction with such a thing mentioned in them but never read them.

Would you like to proceed with the tutorial. This is recommended for new players.

“yes” Faye would like to know just what she's gotten into. Her hands gripped the arms of her chair tightly.

Let's start with the commands then. There are two types of commands. Soft commands which allows you to access thing with thought or vocalization. Hard commands which are vocal only.

“soft” Faye tilted her head why would anyone with this power use hard commands? It seemed like a bad idea if you asked her. What did someone do with these ‘commands’ as a gamer?

For the next part think or say “next”

“n-next” there was no one around yet so speaking would be ok right?

Now it's time to introduce your menu. To activate it is simply think or say menu as you did with next.

“m-menu” Faye nearly jumped when a screen appeared in front of her.

Status

Skills

Inventory

Buddies

Quest

Faye blinked at the buddies option. Why would that be on a game menu?

Now please check your status

“status” the screen changed a bit showing a well character status sheet though oddly without an image on it.

Faye Winters

Lvl: 1

HP: 70/70

HP Reg: 1/min

Mp: 87

MP Reg: 1/min

FP: 0/100

EXP: 0/100

Str: 5

Vit: 5

Int: 7

Wis: 5

Agi: 3

Luck: 5

Money: ?

Condition: Normal/chair bound (chair bound is a permanent condition your agility will always be lower than other stats strength based activities involving your legs will not be able to be done)

Faye winced at her ‘condition’ it made sense honestly she couldn't do anything with her legs at all so there were bound to be negative effects. Still some of this was unfamiliar to her and she played video games often what was FP?

Those stats seem a bit...bland how about 5 more points to switch things up a bit?

Faye hummed and decidedly put 1 point in strength, vitality, and wisdom and put 2 points in luck, you never knew how luck could come in handy after all.

So now her stats were as followed

Str: 6

Vit: 6

Int: 7

Wis: 6

Agi: 3

Luck: 7

Faye nodded at this. The stats were still somewhat bland but shed fix that eventually.

Ok good let's return to the menu screen shall we?

Faye was quick in going back to the menu. She was fidgeting nervously and couldn't place why.

Now let's see your skills

“skills”

Gamers mind-lvl: max

Gamers body-lvl: max

Observe-lvl: 1

This is your skills list. While its small now it will grow in time. Would you like to know what each skill does.

“yes please.I don't want to go blindly into this more than i already am” Faye sighed a bit.

Gamers mind is a skill that lets you stay calm in any situation.

Gamers body makes it to where so long as you keep your HP up you won't be in much pain.

Observe is your basic observation skill it lets you know about items or people you use it on. People who are more than 50 lvls higher than you plus the skills lvl will only give very limited information.

That was good to know. Now she was a bit more prepared still something that basically forces her to stay calm? That sounded like it could be both a blessing and a curse...and bad if some one with the wrong morality got a hold of it.

Now let's return to the menu and check your inventory.

“Menu” there was a relaxed look on Faye’s face now. “inventory” her inventory when it popped up was completely empty.

Your inventory is a pocket space that can hold many things in it! Though yours is a bit...empty how about we fix that?

Another screen appeared in front of faye. She blinked at the options

A weapon

A skill book

A cupcake

You may choose one of these items.

Faye could see how each item could help. In games weapons were often used as offence and defensive items. A new skill could benefit her...and the cupcake was most likely an HP restorative item. Still she had no idea of which skill she could get and most likely she could get cupcakes where she was going so…

“a weapon” Faye spoke sitting straight in her chair. In front of her appeared a bladed discus weapon.

The Chakram a easily disguised throwing weapon that can be used im hand to hand combat. Simple but effective.

With a thought Faye put the weapon away and saw in her inventory there was now a place she could check her equipment. currently she had only her chakrams equipped. She didn't think she needed anything else yet though. So she returned to the menu.

Good now let's check your quest!

Faye did so and saw she had one.

Quest: complete the tutorial (+100 exp) [in progress]

Well that was simple. Still what was her buddies option? It currently seemed out of place and FP too.

Now there's one last thing to do before your tutorial is complete.

With that vague forms appeared around her. She recognized them. Unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, zebra, griffon, changeling, dragon, yak, hippogriff/seapony, kirin...all the races from MLP friendship is magic other than alicorns were there! Buddies must be her friends list and FP probably stands for friendship points it all made sense now!

Which form will you choose?

Faye hummed at this and looked over them each, as cool as being a pony would be she didn't want to be one of the most common being in equestria...she also didn't want to be any of the young six races as cool as they are. The choices she didn't want disappeared, that still left a lot of options. She closed her eyes and then decided, she wanted to be a Zebra.

With that light shown around her. soon she looking down she had hoves and a pale cream yellow coat with black stripes on it. She opened her status screen again and saw that her eye color remained the same but otherwise she was a cream and black pony zebra. Her wheelchair had also changed to be more for her new shape like one you'd see on a dog or other four legged animal without the use of their legs.

Quest: complete the tutorial completed

Gained 100 exp

You are now lvl 2

Gained 100 bits

Congratulations you have stat bonuses from doing certain task

Int + 2

Wis + 1

With that Faye felt like she was floating for a moment. Then a light gently enveloped her for a third time. She was gone once again.

Faye gasped as she opened her eyes. Her head swished around and she saw that she was a bit aways from ponyville, most likely to not cause panic amongst the common ponies there. She took in a breath and looked around real quick. Nopony was around, she almost felt giddy thinking of that phrase “Menu, Status”

Faye hummed and decided to poke around on her menu see what she could do with it before walking into town, and deciding to deal with her stat points later, it’d be nice to know what was going on a bt more. She ended up accidentally taping on her name which put her in a more indepth screen of things.

Name: Faye winters
Pony Name: n/a
Age: 17
Human: caucasian female
Equestrian: Zebra, female
Titles: None (Titles are thing that can give you bonuses if you unlock them)

“Huh well ok Menu” Faye murmured going to the menu where their was now a help and options menu. She hummed and then dismissed the menu “I guess I should go into town”

New Quest

New in town: go into ponyville and have a Pinkie Pie party thrown for you!
(reward 100 exp 100 Bits Bonus: Have a run in with pinkie pie +?)

New Quest
Make some friends: Time to get to know a pony or two
(reward 100 exp 100 bits Bonus: befriend zecora or Sandbar:+200 bits)

Faye nearly jumped when the two new quest popped up. Thankfully at most she just stomped her front hooves a bit. Shaking her head she headed for Ponyville. She thought about the second quest’s bonus as she walked. She understood Zecora, with Zecora being a Zebra and all, but Sandbar? Guess she’d just have to find out. Soon her hooves and wheels were on the dirt path that went through ponyville.

Many ponies were staring at her. She wasn't surprised it was similar looks to what she got in school. Curiosity, sympathy, pity, among other things. She idly took notice of the names, levels, and titles hovering above most of their heads even pinpointing some of the more well known ones like Lyra, Bon bon, and Derpy. Then suddenly there was a very pink colored pony in her face. A very familiar professional party pony.

“HI I’m Pinkie Pie are you new in town” The wide infectious grin from the bearer of laughter caused Faye to smile even as Pinkie continued on fast enough Faye couldn't catch it. Faye nodded meekly. She noted she could only see pinkie pie’s name floating above her head. That actually made sense Pinkie and her friends had fought how many threats in equestria now?

“Im” Faye hesitated she couldn’t use her real name it’d stick out so she went with a name she thought a Zebra would have “Kalisha”

Update: your Equestrian name is now Kalisha

The next thing Faye, now Kalisha, knew is that Pinke squealed and ran off. This was probably to throw her a party. Well then she could make friends there! Also probably put some healing items in her inventory. For now she was going to see if there was a bookstore if there wasn't well considering Twilight’s castle was sitting in the middle of town she couldn't go to a library.

Thankfully she found one.it was small but it would suite what she needed. She assumed because skill books were a thing she could potentonally find and/or buy them. She used her observe skill on all the informative books...and found one skill book out of 35 books, her observe lvled twice. She bought the skill book, and winced because it cost 50 bits. That was insane who sold a book for that much? She also bought a daring doo book. She wanted to know if it was as good as rainbow dash made it out to be it was also much cheaper being only 10 bits.

She looked at her skill book which was a copy of supernaturals. The skill it would give her was potion making. She’d read through it to get the skill, that was probably only an option because of what world she was in. She may need it later to know which ones she could make.

She then put both books in her inventory. Then she paused not sure what to do next other than wait for a hyperactive party pony to get her for her welcome to ponyville party. So she went to the side of the road and got out her daring doo book.

…

Several hours later…

Kalisha was startled from looking at her book when a familiar face popped up. That face being Pinkie who somehow got her to the party without her knowing how. Though it was in sugar cube corner that much she could tell and she forgot how rapidly pinkie could do things. Kalisha soon found herself leaning against a wall emotionally tired from interacting. She figured she'd go over the items from the party she put in her inventory.

Cupcake (restores 50 hp) x 10
Chocolate cake (restores 50 mp) x 5
Ballon (a fun item to play with)
Hot sauce (causes enemies to gain the burned status do not eat enemies immune to burn will not be affected)

“Hey are you alright?” She glanced up to see a green maned light lime colored pony aka sandbar. She dismissed her inventory to talk to him.

“Tired I've never been to big parties before so it's been an experience” she saw no reason to lie she really never had most parties shed been to were kept to her small family and maybe one or two family friends. Sandbar still rose a brow but nodded. “I'm Kalisha what is your name?”

“Im Sandbar” Sandbar officially introduced himself, not that the Zebra really needed him to, she could see his name title which was turtle caretaker, lvl, 10, hp and mp. Though Sandbar didn't know that “and you get use to them”

“that's good to know um why does everyone seem to have a different reason to be excited besides a new person?” she wanted to say she knew why but she didn't. When had she been thrown into the mlp timeline?

“Princess Twilight is opening up a friendship school” Sandbar just confirmed what she'd been hoping with a little bit of a hop. She honestly wondered if she'd be able to join it.

“Is there a way to apply to go?” Sandbar nodded and Kalisha beamed. “um is it possible you could help me?”

“sure”

“Thanks” After that the two just talked for a while.

….
Later after the party...

Quest complete
New in town
+100 exp +100 bits
Bonus objective complete + 1 skill book

Quest complete
Make some friends
+100 exp +100 bits
Bonus objective+200 bits

You have become lvl 3
Congrats due to not revealing yourself you have gained 2 bunus wis points

Well that was something she needed, especially if she was going to get a room at an inn or something similar. So she headed off to find one feeling ...well nothing gamer body thing probably. Still it'd look odd if she was still up after a party like that especially with it being her first big one.
