Solo woken up early at 5AM, he gave his sister his bed as Solo slept on the floor. Solo pulled out his phone as he watched some shows he missed when he was human. “What am I gonna do? Now that my folks know about my actions & magic, they might force me to retire from being a hunter.” He stretched his shorts to check his sided to looked at his flank Hmmm… I may not have a mark but who gives a shit. Perhaps I’ll show them what I can do, they might not send me to an insane asylum.” Solo put some thought into it as he opened his menu to see a store app. “What’s this ‘Store App’ have?” Solo tapped it as a screen appeared in front of him.

‘Would you like to sell your items?’

(“Hmm… I want to continue to be a Hunter. I earned that Dungeon Key from a quest, perhaps I could purchase Dungeon Keys to get to them dungeons?”)

‘Choose which item(s) to sell’

(“Okay… looking back at the video games I played as a teenager. The dropped items can be materials to craft weapons, armor & accessories. I’ll keep 2 of each for the future and the rusty weapons for crafting purposes.”)

Meta Wolfen Fang (10 Bits per) X 19 = 190 Bits
Meta Wolfen Claw (10 Bits per) X 19 = 190 Bits
Chimp Fang (9 Bits per) X 12 = 108 Bits
Rabid Hare Pelt (5 Bits per) X 10 = 50 Bits
Rabid Hare Antler (6 Bits per) X 9 = 45 Bits
(Red) Meta Wolfen Pelt (8 Bits per) X 3 = 24 Bits
(Blue) Meta Wolfen Pelt (8 Bits per) X 3 = 24 Bits
(Gray) Meta Wolfen Pelt (8 Bits per) X 3 = 24 Bits

“I like to sell them.”

Total: 665 Bits

“Sweet.” Said Solo as he closed his screens as he got up as Sky looked at him with half-open eyes.

“Big bro? What is sweet?" Asked Sky.

“I made a lot of Bits & I plan to show Mom & Dad that I’m not a psychopath.” Answered Solo as Sky looked surprised.

“Really?! With that u-u-unique magic, you can help the village with the money budget with buying supplies.” She said.

“True but I don’t want them the village to rely on me for what I do. They’ll might even beg to join me on my… expertise and they'll die.” Answered Solo.

“Die?” Question Sky.

“It’s when one sleeps forever. No one wants that.” Said Solo.

“Why?” She asked.

“You’ll know when your 15. You got 10 more years of your life until you can take care of yourself.” Said Solo

“Growing up sucks when you say that.” Pouted Sky.

“You’ll get used to it, I was already an adult before.”

“Okay, I… hope you don’t give up your magic. You saved me from those bad ponies.” Said Sky “Jelly called you a hero.” Solo looked at her.

(“Hero? I bet in this candy-ass, soaked sugar-coated universe; ‘Heroes don’t kill’ or ‘Killing is immortal’, bullshit. You don’t stop the predator from eating its prey or feeding their children with words.”) “Listen, I’m going for a jog. Tell Mom & Dad, I’ll be late for breakfast.”

“OK!” She said happily as Solo climbed down from his window.

"I should check my stats before I forget."

15 minutes later
[Skill: Sprint has been learned]

[Sprint LV1] – (No Mana Required) - Movement speed will increase by 30%. 1 mana will be consumed every minute.

Solo & Sky ate breakfast, Sky left to play with Orchid as Solo followed his parents as Huntsman teleported to an open field. “Where are we?” Asked Solo.

“I asked them to bring you here.” Solo looked surprised as he turned around to see The Princess of the Sun herself in the flesh.

“GAAHHH!!! What’s she doing here?!” Screamed Solo in anger as he looked at his parents.

“Now Solo.” Said Red Rain “We know you don’t like Celestia for her failure in seeing the dark truth of her subjects.” Celestia looked insulted then guilty. “But we’re worried about you. That you might be…”

“You think I’m might be what? A serial killer?” Said Solo as his mom looked away “MOM!!!”

“Sorry but in our defense; we thought you found out by our past history when you saw us fight… against some jerks.” She said as Celestia looked at Solo.

“Solo… please… I don’t want something bad happen to you. You show potential in caring for those of a varied species and I don’t want to take that from you. Please… tell me about your magic.” Said Celestia. Solo looked at her, she had hope, fear, & sadness in her eyes. Mostly sadness filled her eyes, like she wishes for something to never be repeated.

(“So… she does regret sending Luna to the moon. She’s been in suffering in 1000 years & I thought she didn’t care because night was darkness. The clique of light is good & darkness is evil is so… Dark Ages.”)

“Son?” Said Huntsman as Solo shut his eyes.

“Fine… I’ll show you my magic if Princess Celestia can answer me one question?” Said Solo as his parents & Celestia looked a bit curious.

“A question?” Said Celestia as she looked at Solo’s parents as they were curious themselves. “Very well, ask away.” She asked.

“Did you ever felt responsible for the fact that you neglected your sister, causing her to become Nightmare Moon & made her into the monster that every moron whose over 21 wet themselves because they felt responsible for their ancestors for treating your sister that she didn’t exist & you’re an attention hog for allowing your subjects for making you who you are today?” Answer Solo as Celestia, Huntsman & Red Rain looked at him with baffled expressions.

“Damn…” Said Huntsman.

“I’m still wondering how a 7-year old can be this smart to say… that?” Wondered Red Rain, Celestia looked down as she started to shed a tear.

“Yes, I do. I felt that I’m the one who created Nightmare Moon. I choose my ponies over my only family & what I’ve done to her. Banished her to the moon because I was selfish. I want her back, but she still hates me for what I’ve done.” She said as she covered her face “I am the worst sister in history.”

“Yes, you are.” Said Solo.

“SOLO!!” Yelled his parents.

“You were the worst sister until you admitted it and accepted you were responsible for Luna became Nightmare Moon. You’re not the perfect princess every blind idiot worship.” Said Solo as a key made of wood materialized in his hand which surprised his parents “My magic can let me purchase weapons, armor & keys to dungeons or they called gates from an alternate universe, filled with monsters that will kill you to ear you or for sport and possibly large crystals filled with mana AKA pure magic.” Said Solo as they were confused as they examined the key.

“Is this true?” Said Huntsman.

“Yes, it is. I’ve been fighting monsters yesterday, that’s why I was covered in the scent of blood.” Said Solo as Celestia hold her vomit as Solo showed her the key in his hand. “This key will let us enter a dungeon filled with plant-theme monsters. S, be careful of wooden monsters.” Said Solo “Do you know any fire spells? Besides moving the sun?” Celestia looked at Solo & pouted “What? I’m asking since my knowledge of your abilities is little.”

“I… understand, but I will not fight in this dungeon.” She said.

“OK.” Said Solo.

“OK?” Said the grown ups as Solo pulled out a pickax & gave it to Celestia.

“If there’s Mana Crystals in there, you can help with the harvest. Besides, you could use the workout.” He said as Celestia looked embarrassed.

“Young Man!” Yelled Red Rain. “Princess Celestia does not…” She looked at Celestia’s sides “Um…, uh… Sweetie, please tell him he’s wrong.” Huntsman’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.

“No thanks you! I still have the scar from the last time, you had Solo.” He said as he backed away from her. Red sighed.

“I swear honesty will cause so many problems.” She said as Solo used the key in the air as a portal appeared, expanded as they were all in a forest; a forest with colossal trees with blue leaves & white bark, the grass was purple & the sky was green. Huntsman, Red Rain & Celestia was surprised and amazed.

“Amazing.” Said Huntsman as he examine some of the plant-life as one flower attack a toad with mushrooms and chomps its head off. “Gruesome.” Celestia was baffled by the area.

“My word… even Starswirl would be baffled by this.” She said as Solo was holding a dagger and carving on a tree.

“SOLO!!” His folks yelled as he turned to them.

“What? I’m making some markings, so we don’t get lot.” He answered as he looked up. “Besides, we don’t know what’s in the sky treetops.

“He’s… right.” Said Huntsman as Rain took his dagger.

“HEY!!”

“You’re not using this to kill whatever is in this place!” Yelled Rain as Solo quietly snarled.

“FINE!” Screamed Solo Level as his Bo Staff materialized in his palm. “I’ll just use this instead.” He said as he spun it over his head. Celestia watched him, making a map on the dirt as he was charting out the area.

“Your son’s personality is different when in this dungeon? Almost like he has professional experience exploring these dungeons for years.” She said which cause some curiosity to Solo’s parents, but Solo looked at the path.

“We got company.” He said as they saw some actual trees that were moving towards them.

[Wood Needle]x4

“Are those trees?” Said Red Rain. The Wood Needles swung their branches & fired eyeball-size needles at them.

“Barrier!” Yelled Solo as he created a magical wall to stop them but one almost piercing through his barrier as his parents were shock & furious that a needle nearly hit him in the forehead.

“That… twig…” Said Huntsman.

“Nearly… killed…” Said Red Rain.

“KILLED OUR BABY!!!” They both screamed in rage as they both charged at the trees. Red slashed two of the Wood Needles in half as Huntsman crushed the last 2 with his magic as more Wood Needles emerge from the ground with some new plant hybrids.

“KILL THEM!!” Screamed Huntsman.

“DON’T LEAVE A SEED BEHIND!!” Yelled Red as they went on a warpath. Solo & Celestia looked shocked & a bit frightened by their actions.

“So… did they ever-” (Solo)

“No.” (Celestia)

“So, this is a first-” (Solo)

“Yes.” Said Celestia as Solo & her watch as Huntsman enchanted Red Rain with magic as she spun into a living tornado & slice & dice all the wood & plant monsters.

“If you’re planning to use some sort of reform spell on me?? Don’t do it unless you don’t want to keep your horn, & tits.” He said

“Please… no more foul language.” Answered Celestia. Huntsman & Red Rain gasp for air as they drop on the cut-up plants.

“I… I… never felt this alive!” Screamed Red Rain as she laughed.

“It’s been a while.” Said Huntsman as he smile. Solo gulped as he & Celestia looked at each other.

“Tell me something? Am I a threat because of my magic?” Celestia looked a bit worried “Because I don’t give a crap about Equestria. I’ll do what I do because I feel its right… for me I mean. Even if I don’t have a mark, I don’t need a picture on my butt to feel unique.” Celestia looked at him.

(“Don’t need a Cutie Mark to feel unique?”) Thought Celestia as an image of a stallion appeared in her head. More images of the stallion appeared, he was arguing against Starswirl & the pillars, defeat them in combat & left. (“So that’s why he disagrees with them… with me…”) Solo looked at her with a confused look.

“You okay?” Asked Solo.

“Uh… yes. You reminded me of somepony who thinks different & thinks of the consequences.” She said as they left, the dropped loot was collected by Solo as they weren’t watching.

[Medic Leaf x10]

This leaf may have a high bitter taste but have medical properties. Can heal wounds on skin contact when mashed into a paste like compost & smells like rotting meat.

Solo was a bit grossed out by the leaf “I will hate it when I use it.” He said as Celestia noticed Solo was collecting something near the slain monsters.

“What are you doing?” Asked Celestia.

“This is part of my magic, I can collect objects that can be edible, materials to create something, weapons, armor, accessories or junk I can sell for money. It’s my way of earning.” Answered Solo as she noticed the cube fruit, took a bite out of it.

(“Sour… but sweet. It does seem to be edible.”) Celestia looked at Solo as he was fighting against a monster with a Bo Staff, who was replaced by the same stallion she was thinking of, against her guards while protecting some injured Fauns girls. (“He’s like him. Is he… Gates’ descendant?”) Celestia wondered as she saw those large crystals and mined it (While losing some weight).

Final Floor
Solo, Huntsman, Red Rain & Celestia see an empty plain. “What is this area?” Asked Celestia.

“The end of the dungeon where it ends & where it lives; the dungeon boss.” Said Solo “I don’t know what the boss looks like, but I know it's stronger than the cannon fodders, Mom & Dad have been slaying. I do know that the boss is here… waiting to strike.” Huntsman & Red Rain laughed.

“No monster can defeat us.” Said Red.

“Now be a good boy & stay with the princess.” Said Huntsman as Solo looked annoyed.

“What the hell? I’m not a helpless child.” Said Solo as he crossed his arms. Celestia patted his head.

“Parents always protect their children. Some don’t & treat them like a burden. Your parents are not like those I’ve met.”

“Too bad you can’t torture them as a death threat to them lousy parents. I bet you even seen some noble parents force their kids to be like them or do something they hate.” Celestia looked glum.

“I agree with that.” She said sadly as she noticed some tree branches and twigs were glowing as they started to fly off. Huntsman & Red Rain witness the pieces as they started to form into something familiar to them except Solo. “*GASP* TIMBERWOLF!!”

(“Wait… Timberwolves are actually giant wolves made of timber?! I thought they were joking!!”) Thought Solo. Everypony looked at the wolf but something was different about it from common Timberwolves; this one had orbs of minerals on its limbs, back & chest. “That’s no common variety Timberwolf.”

[Mana Infused Timberwolf, Wood Lord]

“What the fu-u-u-udge?” Said both Huntsman & Red Rain as they censored themselves.

“*ROAR-LIKE HOWL*”

Solo covered his ears as he looked pissed off as Huntsman jumped back & Red Rain flew back.

“Is that-” (Celestia)

“Yes.” (Solo)

“Did you think it was-” (Celestia)

“No… not at all. A golem made of wood but not a giant wolf made of twigs and branches. Where are termites when you need them?” Said Solo.

“Stay back son!” Yelled Huntsman as he looked angry.

“Let your parents handle this!” Said Red Rain as Solo crossed his arms.

“God damn it.” Solo & Celestia watched Huntsman & Red Rain engage in combat. The Timberwolf charge at them as trees grew from the ground as the branches try to whip them but Red Rain slashed not only the branches but the trees as Huntsman used them as projectiles with his magic, but-

“*HOWL*” the Timberwolf howled as the orbs on its body created a barrier that protected him.

“WHAT?!” Yelled Red Rain as the Timberwolf swipe her down, she landed on the ground as she had a slash wound on her back and blood started to seep out.

“MOM!/HONEY!/RED RAIN!” yelled everypony as Huntsman tried to save her but vines burst from the ground and wrapped around him & Celestia’s legs were incase in wood as she felt her magic being drained. The Timberwolf growled looked at Solo as its wooden tongue (Don’t know if they have one) went around its jaw.

“Oh no… SOLO RUN!!!” Screamed Celestia.

“SON!!” Yelled Huntsman as the Timberwolf howled as it charged at Solo as he looked angry and stood his ground, showing no fear.

“SOLO!!!” screamed Red Rain as everything slowed down (“Why isn’t he running?! I’m his mother and he’s supposed to…”) Red Rain had a flashback.

Rain took his dagger.

“HEY!!”

“You’re not using this to kill whatever is in this place!” Yelled Rain as Solo quietly snarled.

“Now be a good boy & stay with the princess.” Said Huntsman as Solo looked annoyed.

“Let your parents handle this!” Said Red Rain as Solo crossed his arms.

“God damn it.”

(“Did he brought us here to prove himself? Did he want us to respect him for not having a Cutie Mark?”) thought Red Rain as a tear came from her right eye as she wiped it off. “SOLO!!!” Screamed Red Rain “SLAY THAT MUTT!!” She answered while injured.

“FINALLY!!” Yelled Solo as he pulled out another dagger.

“You had another weapon, young man!?!?” Yelled his parents.

[Skill: Sprint Activated]
Movement speed will increase by 30%.
1 mana will be consumed every minute.

Solo dodge the Timberwolf’s bite as he moved faster than the wolf could see nor his parents. Solo ran towards Celestia. “I’ll be borrowing this, thank you.” He said as he snatched his pickax back. Solo charged at the wolf as it summoned vines to bind Solo, but he dodged it with grace which amazed his folks & Celestia as he jumped on top of the wolf’s back. “Say hello to PAIN!!” Yelled Solo as he mined out the orb off the Timberwolf’s limb.

“*HOWL IN PAIN*”

“Knew that the orbs were your weak points!!” He yelled as Solo stabbed the Timberwolf in the eye.

[Effect: Paralysis has activated]

Electric lines appeared on its body as it couldn’t move (“So that’s the effects in this dagger.”) Solo continues to mine the orbs as Solo grabbed its head. “DIE!!!” Solo twisted the head of the Timberwolf as he snapped it off as he threw it in the air.

[Skill: Magic Beam LV1]

Solo’s horn glowed & fired a beam of magic at the Timberwolf head as it blew up as burnt wood landed as the body of the Timberwolf fell as Solo jumped off. “The Timberwolf is dead.”

[You have Leveled Up]
[You have Leveled Up]
[You have Leveled Up]

[!Alarm! You have slain Mana Infused Timberwolf, Wood Lord]

“Solo…” Said Red Rain as Solo was examining one of the orbs.

[Mana Orb]
Item Class: B+
Type: Support
This orb is made of pure mana. Its magic can heal one being of their wounds, wounded to fatal. Crack it and pour the liquid mana on being and let the mana do the rest.

Solo looked at his mom as he march to her. “Solo?”

“Here mom. Let me help you.” Said Solo as he cracked it on his knee as dumped the mana on her.

“SOLO!! What are…” She noticed her wound on her back faded away as she was all healed up. “Solo…”

“Uh… should we help dad and the princess?” He said as he tried to change the topic.

“Oh right!” She said as Solo broke Celestia free and Red Rain freed her husband. Celestia stared at Solo

“You… are Gates’…” Solo looked at her

“Whose Gates?” he said as he went to the Timberwolf corpse to collect the rest of the Mana Orbs as he found a Rune

“Hmm… I’ll keep this one hidden.” Said Solo.

!Alarm!
[The Boss Has Been Slain. The Dungeon’s Interior Will Be Reverted to Normal]

The dungeon began to disintegrate as Solo’s Parents & Celestia looked shocked “What’s going on?!” asked Celestia.

“We cleared the Dungeon.” Said Solo. “It’s now closing, it won’t happen again unless I can get another key.” The room continued to disintegrate as they were back at the same plain.

“Son…” Said Huntsman “Uh… thank you for… saving… us.”

“It’s okay dad. You do the same for me.” He said as Solo’s dagger vanished along with his pickaxe. “So, what’s gonna happen to me? Now that you’ve seen what magic can do?” Huntsman and Red Rain looked at each other as they looked at Celestia.

“I say you stop what you’re doing.” Said Celestia as Solo clench his hand into a fist. “Until you’re 21 or be a strategist for your parents.” Solo looked at Celestia with a raised brow.

“Huh?”

“You’re… a prodigy in this kind of magic. To be honest. Most of my guards would probably faint at the first monster.”

“They will.” Said Huntsman.

“They’re not tough since we got paroled.” Said Red Rain which annoyed Celestia.

“I don’t like the thought of a colt travelling in those… Gates and fighting monsters would terrify me.” She got on her knees. “Please… promise me you won’t go alone without your parents.” Solo looked at her and looked at his parents and pouted.

“Fine… but I will not give up my daggers or help them if they go over their heads.

“Deal.” Said his parents.

“Can I have my dagger back, please?”

“Okay but don’t involve Sky. We don’t want to traumatize her.”

“Deal.”

Later that night
Solo was in Canterlot Castle since Celestia offered a free weekend for his family. Solo was on a roof. “Even after a second visit, this city still sucks. If it wasn’t for Donut Joe’s.”

“I agree completely with you.” Solo turned to see Celestia. “Aren’t little colts should be in bed?”

“Aren’t princesses of the sun should be in bed to raise the sun?”

“Touché… is something on your mind?” She asked.

“I asked about that Gates person you asked, and my folks said he’s one of my ancestors. Why did you say I was his descendant?” Celestia looked down.

“Because… he was my friend… and… someone who I had feelings for.” Answered Celestia as Solo raised his brow.

“Wait… you had a crush on him?” Asked Solo.

“Yes…”

“So, what happened between the 2 of you?” He asked as Celestia shut her eyes.

“It was all my fault.”

Author's Note

Hey readers, sorry for the long wait. I was suppose to upload this on the 1st of October but... it was longer then I thought. So anyway the next chapter will be a flashback about Celestia's past, the 6 pillars & Solo Level's Ancestor; Gates. So you'll make some comments about me shipping but that's not what I do, so don't type them. Anyway to make things less confusing about Solo; I'm adding a new update on his stats. Hope you enjoyed it and leave a comment, have a great day.
