Solo Level

7 years later

(“I grew up into a child with the height of 4ft, 1.5in, my hairstyle was a mohawk that I made since it doesn’t exist in this universe, so I made it appear and it became a trendy style for those who love rock music. 5 years ago, due to my parents’ uncontrolled lust & sex; Mother got pregnant again & I was given a newborn Lil’ sister, one baby Pegasus as a birthday present for my 2nd birthday, cheapskates. Despite growing up unable to have some alone time to myself because I was still an infant. I had to use my brain to practice my magic and flying at night when they’re all asleep. The Daily Quest that I’ve done when I was born, came in with some more quests for a baby like for example.”)

(“I really hated the last quest, my childhood with shots ended with me, kicking & screaming. Oh, how I hate shots.”)

(“My Sister Sky, she hates me for being the older brother. To be honest, I never had any siblings of my own, even Step-Siblings. I… want to be her friend but I don’t know how. I’ve made some friends of my own in town; Jelly Lyric the Siren, Bo the Centaur & Tuffy the Diamond Dog. I’d learn some new skills that can help me in life or discover my talent since I don’t have a symbol on my thighs. I’ll never understand why we have them since all sentient creatures wear pants or a skirt to cover ourselves up, so no one stares at people’s dicks & vaginas. Sea Lyric taught me how to swim, Tuffy taught me how to dig for gems in his pack’s mine with a pickaxe & Bo taught me how to fight in hand-to-hand combat with my fists and a bo staff. I admit I failed and gotten hurt but I refused to give up but what I didn’t know is when I learned from them, their teachings became skills that I can use for the future.)

(“Those 3 have my thanks and I owe them big.”)

At home
I was in my room, counting how much Bits (The currency of this universe) I had. Apparently, the gold & silver coins count as ‘1bs’ each, Lame. I earned it by finding them between couch cushions, in the grass, behind trash cans, alleyways and help my family & neighbors as I got older, I’ve earned a total of 24bs. I heard my door knocked, I placed my money & my phone in my inventory and hid the spell books I ‘borrowed’ from my dad. “Come in!” The door open to reveal my mother with a plate of spaghetti.

“Solo~ time to eat!”

“Okay, mom.” I got up and follow her. At dinner, the whole family was eating, I ate as I noticed Sky was eating with her eyes closed. Normally I’m not allowed to talk when eating but I finished quickly before Sky did. “Uh, Sky?” She looked at me with an annoyed look.

“Huh?”

“I’m wondering if like to hang out with my friends & me, tomorrow afternoon?” I asked as she was disgusted but mom liked the idea.

“That’s a great idea, Solo!” Said, Mom.

“But mom!” Sky replied.

“No buts Sky. You haven’t been outside much, and I’m worried about you. You’ll get to spend some time with your big brother.” Sky snarled quietly. “Don’t you snarl at your mother/me!” both mon & dad yelled.

(“How the bloody fuck can they hear us quietly?”) Thought Solo.

Dinner was over, we headed for our rooms for bed, I decided to check my stats since I haven’t checked in 7 years.”

“My level is 9, one more level & I will enter ‘The Path to Be Strong’ thing and I had 32 skill points saved. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

The next day in the afternoon
I was heading to a cleat field in the forest with my sister following me with the threat of no dessert for the next 4 months (Moms are fucking scary when you're young). When we made it to the clearing, we both saw a young silver-gray siren child in a Dress that was made for the water playing in a pond, a small Chihuahua in Miner clothes digging in the dirt & a blue Centaur in a fighter’s Gi punching the air. “Hey!” They turned their heads to me and Sky as they wave at us.

“Solo!” Yelled Tuffy.

“Uh… Hi Solo.” Said Jelly Lyric in a shy voice, with her cheeks turning red.

“Huh huh.” Said Bo.

“Hey… remember my sister.” They waved at her as she looked away in anger. “Be nice and say hi.” She waves at them as she walked away to a flower patch.

“What is with your little sister, Solo?” Asked Tuffy.

“Oh… she’s upset that she has to be with me.” He looked at her and frowned “I’m hoping we can be friends.”

“Huh huh.” Said Bo.

“Hmm…?” Said Solo as he looked at Bo.

“Huh huh.” Repeated Bo.

“You’re right Bo. I need to show her that I’m not an enemy but her big brother she can trust.” Jelly swam to shore as she floated towards them.

“Maybe I can talk with her.” They looked at her “I’m a girl and… maybe she can trust me.” Solo smile, hug Jelly as she turned red and hum a note that sounds lovely.

“Thank you Jelly! Hey Sky! Do you…” Solo turned around to discover that she was gone from the flower field and the clearing. “SKY!!!” Everyone looked around for her as Tuffy sniff around the flower as he pointed to the forest.

“She went that away!” Yelled Tuffy as Jelly quivered in fear.

“Isn’t that th-th-th-the forest where our pa-pa-pa-folks forbid us because it's dangerous?” She said.

“Huh huh!” Agreed Bo as Solo ran straight into the forest as his friends yelled for him to stop as he turned around

“I have to go! Don’t tell my folks!” Screamed Solo (“This is all my fault! I should have watched her or had her with me! I’ll never forgive myself for letting another die.”)

FLASHBACK
Humans were being killed by statues, monsters or people

(“I refuse to see that again! Even if I have a new life!”)

Meanwhile farther in the forest
Sky was rushing through the forest as she glides over a river “That stupid brother. He has magic and wings and Mama & Papa sees him as the favorite! So, I’m showing them that he is not the favorite!” She continued to run until she bumped into a blue Earth Pony Stallion. “Oof!”

“What the? A kid?” Said the blue stallion as more stallions appear as they smirk.

“Uh… who are you?” Asked Sky as one of them lifted her by her shirt as she shuddered in fear.

“Just some orphan rescuers.” Said one of the stallions as the purple one as he tossed her in a cage. Ski coward in the mini-cell.

“But… I have a family…” She said as one of them laughed.

“Then why you ran away from them? Even if you hate only one, you’ve abandoned your entire family! Haaa-ha-ha-ha!” Sky was shedding a river of tears as she curled up in the cell.

“Mama… Papa…” Solo appeared in her thoughts “Solo… I’m sorry.” She said as she cried as Solo was in a tree.

“They will pay with their fucking lives.” Said Solo quietly as his eyes glowed an ominous blue as he opened his inventory to see a gift he gotten from a quest, a secret quest.

[Learn an Advance Spell]

I did it in secret and it took me 3 years to master, it drained me of my energy when practicing it, but I did it; a spell to create a teleportation portal to transport myself, large groups or supplies.

[Wormhole Warp] – (30 Mana Requested) – Able to warp to places you have been to.

“And now, let’s see what gift I earned from the shop that I purchase for battles.” The gift box open to show a knife with an exotic design and a jagged black metal blade.

[Item: Survival Knife]
Type: Dagger
Attack: +15

“This has better work.” Said Solo as he saw one of those stallions taking a piss at a bush as Solo flew behind him, muzzle his mouth with his magic as Solo place his knife near the stallion’s neck. “You shouldn’t enter this forest because of the cost… is your life.” Solo slashed the stallion’s neck as the now dead stallion’s blood flooded out, staining the ground, the pants and Solo with his clothes as the corpse fell in the bush.

[You have level up]

(“I’ve taken a life… at age 7. It’s not the first I did this. Fuck those damn Lizard Tails.”)

A screen appears before him

[You have reached LV 10! ‘The Path to be Strong’ is now active]

[During your last life, you have completed the secret quest ‘The Trails of The Player’]

A new quest and a key to an E-Rank Dungeon is now bestowed to you.

[Quest: Kill the Slave Collectors, 1/12. 11 left. Details: Kill them in any way until they’re hearts stop. Reward: A new department on the shop to purchase Dungeon Keys through your phone. Bonus: Free all captive slaves without a single slave perish, you’ll earn a rare accessory. Fail to complete: You die.]

“Oh, fuck me… ‘kill them all or I’ll die…’ Oh well. You only live once.” Said Solo avoided to make a sound. Solo watched the stallions were patrolling the area as the only unicorn of the group was near the captive slaves and his sister. He flew as he shut one up as Solo stabbed his captive in the back and placing them in the ground quietly, snap 3 necks, choke 2 Pegasi the death with a rope, trick 3 into murdering each other without the Unicorn noticing and sliced one’s head off.

“Where the fuck are those morons? We got places to go and more lost servants to capture.” He left his post as he discovered a corpse of his coworker. “WHAT THE FUCK!?” He saw more corpses of his co-workers with their head sliced off or hanging off a tree as he backed away in horror “who or what fucking did this?”

“(DEMONIC VOICE) ME!!” the Unicorn Stallion looked up to witness his last thing as a unicorn called with wings dropped on him with a knife. Solo stabbed him through its skull as pink liquid splashed him in the face “Great… now I got blood & brains in me.” Solo complained as he wipes his face clean.

[Quest: Kill the Slave Collectors. Complete. Reward: Dungeon Key Department now open, Bonus: Captive Slaves alive 7/7, 10 Skill Points, freeing captive slaves: Still in progress.]

[You have level up.]
[You have level up.]
[You have level up.]

[You have level up.]

“Fucking sweet.” Said Solo as the loot from the corpses came to him.

[182 Bits have been added to your wallet]
[Cell Cage Key have been added to your KEY Inventory]
[Barrier' Runestone has been added to your inventory]
[Magic Beam' has been added to your inventory]
[Lists of Slave prices & Raising Riches’ Signature]

“Runestones? I remember Hearthstones since they like me escape a dungeon but let’s look into that later.” Said Solo as he took out the cell key. “SKY!” Sky looked up, even with her eyes puffed up.

“Solo?” Said Sky as Solo ran to her cage, open the door as she jumped up to Solo crying “I’m… SORRY!!! I'm sorry for being a bad girl and hate you for being the favorite!” Solo comfort her but paused.

“Favorite?”

“Mama & Papa pay you more attention than me.”

“Are you kidding me?!” He yelled since he can’t swear in front of the captives or his sisters “I got the worst as you got it easy! I’m forced to have 2 schools; one outside & at home in a week and the weekend, sometimes my weekends get canceled! You got it easy! You get to have fun with your friends & Mom & Dad don't pressure you since you’re not a unique hybrid.”

“What’s a hybrid?” Asked Sky.

“A hybrid is a creature that has 2 traits from two different beings. Like… a platypus. A duck and a beaver that has poisonous spurs on its hind limbs.” Said, Solo.

“Wow… you’re very smart.” Aww, Sky.

“No… It’s something I knew before I was reincarnated.”

“Huh?”

“I'll tell you after we freed the other captives, “Said Solo as they freed the other captive slaves; a big Diamond Dog, a Griffin, a small Breezie, a Naga, a Lizardman, and a Satyr. The freed slaves looked frightened as Soli showed them a symbol on an Armband “Go Northwest to find our village. Show this to a mare with a ruby red coat unless you want to die because both of our parents are overprotective.” The freed slaves gulped as they left. “Remember Northwest.” Said Solo as they left.

Solo was washing himself to remove the blood from him near a river as sky watch him. “Solo… can you tell me what is reincarnated?”

“Reincarnated… is a word that means that you are reborn with or without your memories as a new being in a new form and possibly a new universe.” Sky looked at Solo.

“Are you…” Solo nodded as Sky was surprised. “Whoa…”

“I was a species called human a race of… primates that evolved into the dominant creatures of the planet, Earth. We, humans, manage to master magic and technology to advancement that surpassed the steam train here.”

“Wow… your princess must be strong.”

“Yeah… we have some princesses, but they don’t rum the world, just some nations until they become Queen. My old world was run by a union of all leaders of different nations alongside with Hunters; humans with magical powers who get them by who knows how they enter portals to parallel worlds’ dungeons filled with monsters & crystalized minerals filled with Mana.”

“Mana?”

“Another word for magic. In my old life; we used them to enchant some weapons, armor & objects to slay the monsters with the mana core to harvest from their corpse.”

“Eww.”

“I know but it was a way to live. I was awakened & earned my magic, but my old parents were too religious and declare me a minion of evil & abandon me as I became an orphan.”

“Solo…” Said Sky in a sad tone.

“I found a guild, a place where people with powers like myself enter gates to fight monsters, collect crystals & prevent monsters from escaping. I became a Magical Swordsman with healing magic after spending 20 years in the guild. I was a member of their family.”

“Solo… how did you…”

“Die? I give up my life to stop the most ruthless and deadliest psychopath Hunter in existence. I had to do it, or innocent lives would die because of that monster. I… didn’t have any regrets. I taught some healers some advance healing spells before I died. But to tell you the truth, I won’t miss my human parents, I get to have the childhood that I never had, the parents who love me & a sibling I never had.” Sky began to cry.

“B… Big brother!” Sky screamed as she hugged Solo “Can you forgive me?” Solo patted Sky on the head.

“It’s alright. Just promise me you never tell mom and dad about it, please.” Sky nodded.

As time pass
Solo & Sky made it back to the meadow, Sky apologized for all the trouble she made, Jelly Lyric cried happily and her voice created some sorrow but it felt happy to us as we cried, when we got back home; the captured slaves were being treated with food, water & medicine as they were promised to be taken back to their homes. They didn’t say a word about me except for a hero that saved them.

Later that night after dinner; Solo was in his room as Sky came in “Hi Solo.”

“Hey.” He replied.

“Uh… I want you to know, you’re not alone. Mama, Papa, your friends, the town and I are with you anywhere you go.” She said with a smile, Solo smile back.

“Do you want to see something amazing.” She nodded as Solo pulled out his Smartphone.

“What is that thing?”

“It’s my Smartphone. It’s something from my old life. I can buy some things from my world through this phone. Want to see?” Sky nodded as Solo made a purchase as a book appears with a bag of small colorful worms.

“What’s are these?”

“It’s called a novel and a bag of chewy candy. The chewy candy is called Gummy and they shape it something small like bears or other things as they smell so good and irresistible.”

“Yummy! What is the story about?”

“A human summons to another world as a hero with a legendary shield who gets framed by the lies of one of the daughters of the king.”

“*GASP* A princess who frames a hero?! She is evil!”

“Yeah… don’t let mom & dad see it and it gets scary later.” She nodded and left my room. She looked at the last quest bonus. A gift was in the inventory, he’d open it to reveal a ring. “Jewelry? This had better be worth the quest.”

[Item: Ring of Mystics]
Item Class: C
Type: Accessory
Recovers 20% MP per minute, Decreases 20% Mana Cost

Solo was amazed and impressed as he equips it to discovered it became transparent and a mirror reflection showed it was invisible to all “It appears transparent to me but invisible to reflections & possibly others.” Said Solo as he looked at the mirror. “I’ve made it to the level that I need for the trails, I will have to deal with.” A screen appeared before him

[Congratulations for reaching your level and gaining more powerful but due to the annoying powers of the Princess of the Sun. Your powers are slowed down to a ¼ speed growth until you’re 18. (Reason is so Celestia’s Protection stops slowing down your progress) If you’re complaining, Too fucking bad.]

Solo’s eye twitched “This world has a fucking overprotective ruler. And I thought the parents in my world who became overprotective were horrible.”
