I woke up the next morning feeling light and flexible. I know this bed has to have some type of enchant on it, because it is probably the most comfortable couch I have ever slept on. I sat up on the couch, rubbing my eyes. I thought about the book and watched it appear before me.

'I never realized that the book disappears when you don't think about it for too long.' I made a mental note just in case I freak out when I can't find it. Now that I think about it, that has to be one of the most convenient things about it. Anyway, I looked at the mana yield and saw that it was 99% now.

'So that answers one of my suspicions on mana yields.' So it seems that mana yield changes daily, but I wonder what it's dependent on. Eh, an experiment for a later time. I listened to the area around me. It was actually quite silent aside for the occasional animal noise that would make its way through the air. It made me wonder, how did Fluttershy manage to train this many animals? All the signs, the shyness and insane amount of animals, tell me that she is a shut-in, but I wouldn't know until I found out for myself. I walked outside to get a good look at the town sitting in front of me. The town didn't look to be that big, about the size of a neighborhood back on Earth. I let the book appear before me and wrote a spell that I called [Enhanced Perception]. It was a spell that allowed you to see from as far as you want to as well as see in the dark. I tested it out by seeing if I could see all of Ponyville. I blinked twice, the activation sequence for the spell, and saw more ponies, and not one damn human. I swear to god if the town tries to hunt me down, then I'm taking initiative first.

I looked around the town and saw all kinds of ponies with different colors in mane and tail. There were ones with wings, much like Fluttershy, and then there were more races that I didn't recognize. Some had horns instead of wings, and some had neither as well.

'I wonder if there are ponies that have both.' It must be a dumb thought considering that no one in town had both. I would say it could be a small minority, but considering that the population itself is small, I highly doubt it. My thoughts were interrupted by the door behind me sliding open. Turning my head, a familiar face walked out of the door.

"Good morning, um..." She paused, trying to think about something. Oh, I forgot to give her my name...

"My name is Axel. Should've brought that up last night," I turned completely around, "My bad."

"It's fine." She replied. I noticed that she seemed to be a little less shy than she was last night. "How was your rest?"

"That couch is more comfortable than most beds in my world." I beamed, remembering the good times of sleep on that couch. Fluttershy looked at me like she was confused.

"In your world?" She asked, puzzled.

"I am not wrong when I say you've seen more animals than anyone else, right?" She nodded. "That's because there is no one but me in this world. I am the only human." Fluttershy looked surprised.

"Oh my... aren't you lonely?" She asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you are the only one of your race on a world you know nothing about. It must be pretty scary." She frowned at me.

"Trust me when I say that I am enough for this world." She looked confused again, but this time I stopped her. "Lets save this talk for later. I still want to see what the town is like." She thought for a second before nodding.

"I'm off to Ponyville, animal friends! I will be back later." Her way of screaming made me wonder if she could talk in normal volume if she was deaf. Eh, I would never know the answer to that question.

"Onwards Aoshima!" I said, pointing dramatically towards town. Fluttershy chuckled at my eagerness to see the town. She closed the door behind her and we went on our way.

The beginning of the trip to Ponyville was done in silence, one of us basking in the sunlight and nature around us, and the other writing spells he might need in his book. They were just general spells, such as [Sated Appetite] and [Sated Thirst], that I figured I would be able to use to protect or help myself better, but one particular spell was one well worth mentioning. I called it [VTabs], which meant Virtual Tabs. It is designed to be a weapon and a handy tool. On one part of it, it can allow me to quick-create spells and execute spells via command. It also lets people through a "firewall", which will shield people I select from either certain spells or all of them. On the other hand, each "tab" can be shaped into its own weapon, and was able to be used magically, not physically, in combat. The best part about this spell is that it allows me to generate energy when I'm stationary. I tested the spell, and Fluttershy jumped in surprise.

"W-What is that?" She stared at the glowing weapons, wide-eyed. I guess I forgot to tell her about my magic, so I will reply with such.

"My magic."

"C-can all humans do that?"

"No, just me."

"Then how can you use magic?" I looked up from the tabs and at her.

"I don't know myself, nor do I care to learn why. As long as my life isn't being threatened, then I don't really care." She was going to ask another question, but then she just chose to drop the subject entirely, and said as such. "I'm sorry if I startled you." I gave her a sheepish smile.

"It's fine, you didn't mean to." She replied, smiling. We then returned on our way, Fluttershy giving me some basic knowledge of Equestria, which was the name of this country.

Instead of having her talk super long about what to expect from Equestria, I quickly made the spell [Knowledge-Copy] and learnt most of the information myself. Here is what I know so far. Ponyville is as the name implies, a pony-dominated town. Another quick note was that this was also mare-dominated as well, the opposite of where I'm from. Aside types of work, gender roles are completely switched. The girl gifts the guys on holidays, as well as make the first move when two are in love. One thing about it make me cringe, and that was that it was like a slight minority of guys to girls. It was major. So fucking major that goddamn lesbian relationships were generally normal for ponies. I could learn to accept that; mainly because humans accepted lesbians more than gay relationships. Wait... I just thought of something.

'If I see a goddamn gay relationship in this female-heavy town, then I'm really going to fucking lose my mind.' I made a mental note in my head.

We made our way into the Ponyville market, causing everyone to start panicing. I think that me being armed was playing more of a part than me being a different species. I looked around for only a second before being immediately stopped by someone. This was an earth-pony with a mane in darker shades than even black itself and a light-tan coat. He was also clad in golden armor with a spear in his hand.

"Halt!" He shouted, his sword a few inches from my neck. I didn't even flinch at the motion. Fluttershy, on the other hand, leaped into the air and hopped back, shaking as if it was winter out. "Who are you? Better yet, what are you?"

"Hello, small pony, my name is Axel." I had a smug grin on my face, knowing where this is going. If I could do one thing, it was taunt someone.

"Drop your weapons, you're being detained!" He said, unlatching some magical-looking handcuffs from a strap on his armor.

"You couldn't do that if you tried." I taunted. He looked at me for a second before his sword clashed with something and flew out of his hand. He looked at his sword before looking at me wide-eyed. He recovered momentarily before he pressed a shiny red gemstone attached to his leg.

"Night Star, requiring assistance." He said. Whoever was on the gem replied with "10-4" before he looked at me with a smug look of his own. "Not so tough now, are ya?"

"You could say that I am tougher than tough." I shielded the back of my head with a sword as a burst of magical energy came rushing down toward my head. I turned around and saw 4 more guards come rushing down into the market, 2 pegasi, 2 earth-ponies, and 1 unicorn. By now, a crowd had formed around us, Fluttershy still watching, frozen in fear.

"Don't worry Fluttershy," She jumped a little and looked at me, still shaking, "I will be fine. This is easier than back in m-" I parried another magical blast with a sword before uppercutting in front of me to catch a guard in the neck. His head cocked back and he looked at me, blood trickling the corner of his mouth.

"How are you so aware of us?" Mr. Star asked.

"You're just easy to read." He seemed angry. In reality, I've dealt with entire S.W.A.T. units coming at me. I hope everyone agrees with me when I say that 5 ponies are better than 50 or so humans. The guards, tired of me waiting to make a defensive move, all 5 charged at me at once. I ducked, causing the two pegasi to run into each other. I then pushed my sword forward, penetrating the armor piece of one earth-pony and floated my sword up into the air. This allowed me to take care of the two behind me. I grabbed the unicorn's horn and planned to impale the earth-pony, but he had other plans and leaped over the unicorn's head. I used my own head and simply looked up at a very fast speed, causing the smart fucker to run into the top of my head and bite his tongue. When he got back up after hitting the ground, he spat something out of his mouth and I gave a sheepish smile.

'It seems I made him bite his tongue completely off.' Is it bad that I felt satisfaction from seeing him constantly spit blood from his mouth? Anyway, I looked back to Night Star, and he looked oh-so very scared. Without a word, I let him down and let go of the unicorn's horn. Star and the other unicorn were perfectly fine with no cuts or wounds. The two pegasi were unconscious from hitting their heads while the other earth-pony required major assistance. The unicorn frowned and used a spell that would temporarily stop the bleeding. The two unscathed guards carried the fallen pegasi, while the earth-pony walked himself.

"We will be sure to report you straight to the top!" Night Star said with a fire burning in his eyes. I ignored him and turned to Fluttershy. As I did, everyone in the crowd moved out of my way. "Shall we continue?" She looked at me like I was insane.

"H-H-How can you just shrug off what you did?" She was speaking in normal volume, meaning she was screaming.

"In my old life, I did things way worse than that, and I sorta developed a blood-lust." I said casually. She seemed to have not liked that answer, because she walked off. I caught up with her shortly.

The rest of the trip to the library happened in silence, Fluttershy distancing herself away from me. It's as if she hasn't seen violence before. Eh, doesn't matter, gives me time to prep some more spells to better defend myself.

When the library was in view, I looked at it like I lost my mind.

'Why the fuck is the library in a damn tree?!?!' Fucking ponies. You make my head hurt more and more as I learn things. Anyways, we walked up to the entrance of the library. The door was about a foot smaller than myself, but that again, this was pony-lands. I gave Fluttershy a questioning look when she knocked on the door. She must have noticed it, because she looked at me.

"Hmm?" She gave off a noise as if I called her name.

"Why are you knocking the door in a public place?" I asked.

"T-Twilight also lives here. It would be rude to invite yourself in. Especially with what you're capable of." She answered, an edge I didn't notice before in her voice. I was about to address it before someone opened the door. It looked to be the dragon that was in Fluttershy's mind that went by the name of Spike.

"Hey Fluttersh-" He paused his greeting to look up at me. He then got scared and yelled for Twilight to come down to the door. Fucking sissy, can't speak for yourself. She ran down from what sounded like stairs at the pussy-dragon's cries. It was a unicorn with a lavender coat and a mane that was the deepest shade of blue I've ever seen. She looked at me as if I was a monster.

"Stand back, Fluttershy! I'll take care of this!" Fluttershy was then pulled in her direction behind and Twilight lit her horn, it glowing in shimmering sparkles. Taking quick initiative, I grabbed her horn and looked at her.

"Call me a monster again and the horn comes off, got it?" She looked at me with a wide-eyed expression. Fluttershy, not wanting to see her friends end up like the guards did, took the initiative.

"T-Twilight, please stop. He isn't a monster." Fluttershy looked at me, "Even if he can do some... questionable things, he is not a monster."

"What do you mean questionable?" Twilight asked. As if the universe heard her question, the dragon, who was watching this all play out, belched a scroll from out of his mouth. Twilight took the scroll from the air and unraveled it.

"Is it normal for dragons to do that?" I asked no one in particular. I was ignored by the other three who were focused on the scroll. I joined them to look what had been inside and it seemed to be a letter of sorts.

To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,

I hope you are having a good day, though I wish we could talk under better circumstances. It has come to my attention by a guard that a hairless ape is causing trouble and is resisting detainment. I hate to ask this of you, but do you mind detaining him for me before he causes any more trouble? It would mean the world to me if you do. If you find him, try not to hurt him, but from what I've seen from the gemstone video tape, you may have to use force to detain him, as he isn't afraid of hurting others. At the bottom of the letter will be two gemstones. One stone contains the video sent to me, recorded as of an hour ago. The second stone can be activated by magic to call a guard to collect him. I apologize for the short letter, but I hope to meet you again in pony sometime soon.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia

"Now that was just damn hurtful," I commented, "Did she just call me a hairless ape?" Twilight grabbed the red gemstone and activated it with magic, playing the video of earlier today's events. Twilight and Spike looked surprised at the level of finesse I used on the guards with no effort. "I really wish I didn't keep one of the guards in place. That entire fight was no fun at all." All 3 looked at me like I was crazy. Twilight recovered quickly and approached me with the green gemstone.

"Can we please at least make this peaceful? Notice that Princess Celestia said detain, not arrest! There is still hope for you!" She said with pleading eyes.

"I'm not letting you cage me with that shit!" I said, heading for the door. Twilight didn't seem happy.

"Then I'm going to have to do it by force!" Twilight lit up her horn, but then Fluttershy stopped her.

"Twilight, don't! You don't know what he's capable of!" Fluttershy tried to reason. Twilight stared at her as if she'd gone insane.

"Did you see what he did? We can't leave this situation alone, Fluttershy!" Twilight argued. They traded more verbal blows, trying to get the other to join their side, but one thing caught my eye about that entire argument.

'Not one of them has traded an insult to the other? You guys must be very friendly creatures.' I watched them argue for a few moments before I stopped them.

"I'll tell you what," Both of them looked at me, "Me and Twilight will have a mock battle using a spell I know. It has a health bar and blows will only injure a person in the simulation, but they will be good as new when I end the spell. We go until one of us yields or until one of us faints from exhaustion, which is when the health bar reaches 0. If you win, I will let you detain me." I looked at them, and Spike spoke out.

"And what happens if you win?" The dragon asked, not looking all too eager to see this happen.

"If I win, then you will allow me to test three spells on you. I guarantee your safety throughout these tests, however, but I don't guarantee any sort of comfort from them." Twilight gave me a skeptical look before accepting. Fluttershy and Spike were surprised by Twilight's acceptance.

"Twilight, why are you doing this?" Fluttershy asked.

"Because if we don't detain him now, then more ponies may get hurt." She answered, she herself shaking beyond belief. Fluttershy seemed to notice it too.

"You aren't forcing yourself, are you?" Fluttershy gave her a skeptical look that looked more puppy-dog cute than suspicious.

"No, I will be fine. It is only a mock battle, right?" She looked at me. I nodded. "So where are we having this battle?"

"In town square, of course." Twilight looked wide-eyed for a second. "Don't worry, we will be in a protective dome where people can still see us."

Twilight sighed in relief before telling us to come with her to town square. I was already out the door, but Fluttershy and Spike trailed in the back, not eager to see Twilight fight at all.

It didn't take us long to get to town square, and people were already avoiding me. I found it fair for them to do so and didn't hold it against anyone. Twilight stopped and I looked at her.

"I think this is far enough." She said. I looked behind me and saw that Spike was now riding Fluttershy's back and was in deep thought about something.

"Okay," I said, grabbing the attention of everyone, "I will teleport you guys far enough so that you aren't trapped in the box." Everyone but Fluttershy nodded.

"Twilight, please reconsider this," Fluttershy begged, "I really do not think you can win. He is very strong." Twilight turned to her.

"I told you Fluttershy, I will be fine. I must detain him at all costs and if this is the way to do it, then so be it." Twilight denied her request. Saying what needed to be said, I teleported them to the entrance of the square using [VTabs] and turned to Ms. Ego over here.

"You ready?" I asked for final confirmation. She nodded.

"Alright then." I pressed a button on a small miniature cube and planted it on the ground. A few seconds later, the cube activated and trapped us in a glass-looking box about 2 basketball courts long and wide. A lady, that I made using text to speech, started talking as if this were a stadium.

"The match between Twilight Sparkle and Axel Dixon will now commence. You will fight a best of 3, meaning the first person to win 2 matches will win the duel. All magic is allowed. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons are also allowed. The fight will begin in 30 seconds."

A counter appeared above our heads, and we moved into position. During the entire speech, a lot of ponies were wondering what was up. Benches also generated on 2 sides of the cube, giving people a spot to sit at. All of the ponies sitting on the bench were cheering for Twilight.

"It seems you are well known in this town, Sparkle." I said, my voice being amplified for the crowd to hear.

"I am the Princess' prized pupil after all." She replied back. Her voice was amplified too? Cool. I looked behind her to see 4 ponies trying to get her attention. One had a cyan coat with a rainbow mane and tail, all sorts of messed up. The second one was pink and pink all over with blue eyes. The third had a farm hat on and was kicking the dome with her back legs.

'Good luck with that farm-pony.' The last one has a purple, curly mane and a completely white coat. The thing that stuck out to me was that they all had labels on their ass. Now that I look, Twilight also has a label on her ass. I wonder what they all mean? No matter, time is about to run out.

"Round 1, Fight!" My favorite computerized-voice said. In an instant, Twilight summoned a sword and teleported behind me. I parried the sword with one of my tabs. Wait, that can't be right. None of Fluttershy's knowledge said anything about Twilight being able to hold a sword.

"Where'd you get that spell from?" I asked quizzically.

"My ever-so lovable mentor." She gave a grunt as she tried to push back the sword, but it wouldn't budge.

"It wasn't in any of Fluttershy's mind of you knowing such a spell. Seems I underestimated you." Everyone in the crowd gasped and Twilight went wide-eyed, looking at me with a burning blaze that made Night Star's glare look like winter.

"What did you do to Fluttershy?" She said in a low, lethal tone.

"You seem mad. So I'm going to stop talking now." Most of the crowd looked at me in disgust. She pushed harder against the unwavering sword, but to no avail. She then hopped back and fired a spell that I will name right here right now [Gatling Gun]. In reality, it was plainly just a bunch of small magic bursts firing at a rapid rate. Not impressed, my swords took turns slashing the little bursts of magic. I had 16 swords around me in total, so it was a very low-effort job. She then caught me by surprise and did an exceptionally big magic blast, the impact causing one of my swords to actually waver.

"It seems you weren't so confidant in that one, now were you?" Twilight gave a smug expression

"If I wasn't trying to gauge your skill, I could end this insanely quick." The smile never left my face.

"I'd like to see you try." I took that as a challenge, and those are things that I do not lose. Ever.

"Okay, Ego Sparkle, as Rainbow Dash would say, I could finish this in 10 seconds flat!" I said in a mimicing voice. Twilight frowned and put up a shield, concentrating most of her energy on it. Luckily, she hasn't seemed all of my moves.

"Dodge this!" I said, pulling out what looked to be a dagger, and oh did she think it was an ordinary dagger. I threw the dagger at her and watched as her shield exploded on impact. I watched her health bar reach 0, indicating that I won.

"Round 1 goes to Axel Dixon. The score is now 1-0. We will now have a 2-day intermission for both parties to prepare more of their own spells." The voice said. I looked towards the crowd and they did not seem happy. The danger alert in my head told me someone was about to hit my side, so I waited for it and grabbed in the direction it came from. I looked and saw the cyan pegasus from before struggle to break free of my hand.

"Yall put er down!" The orange pony, named Applejack, said. She ran up to me and bucked her back legs toward my direction. I rose my other hand and grabbed one of her legs and let gravity deny her. Momentarily, I let go of her leg and she fell over. Rarity and Fluttershy ran up to check on Applejack, and I let Rainbow Dash drop to the ground, breathing and letting the air back into her system. After getting her air back, she sneered at me and aimed at my chest this time. I did the same routine. Choke some life from her, let her drop, repeat. I did this about 6 times before Fluttershy stepped in front of me.

"Stop!" She said as the pink pony walked up, something inside of her party cannon.

'Fluttershy's knowledge sure is helpful.' I thought getting ready to teleport behind her. The look on her face said that she was angry at me. The party cannon fired icing a moment later and as soon as it fired, I was already behind her. I looked at the icing, and apparently it was stickier than hot glue because everyone who had it on them could not move from their positions. All except Twilight, who was in shock at what happened and stared at the ground. I created a spell to remove any 'effects' on a person and got the sticky stuff off of everyone.

"Ya all right, sugarcube?" Applejack asked, concerned.

"H-H-H-H-" She seemed to want to say something.

"Spit it out, Sparkle." I realized all throughout that battle and up til now I still had a smug smile on my face. Twilight flinched at the mention of her name.

"H-H-How did you-" She went silent again.

"How did I what?" I asked. Applejack and Rainbow Dash turned to me with a glare.

"You know you can be a real jerk sometimes." Rainbow said, pointing an accusing hoof at me.

"An ah second that." Applejack chimed in.

"We had a duel, and she was confidant in beating me. That's all there is to it." I explained. Rainbow did not buy it.

"Why would Twilight have any reason to duel against you, you hairless ape?!" Rainbow asked, screaming in my face. I put a hand between me and herself, then proceeded to choke Rainbow Dash until she needed it again.

"Because your ruler seems to want me detained." I said, ending the sentence by dropping Rainbow for the 5th time. Again, she gasped for air.

"Ah don't buy it for a second." Applejack voiced her opinion, looking at me with a lethal glare, "And if you choke my friend out again, yall gonna regret it!"

"You can tell if I'm lying, can't you. You of all people would know what and what not to buy." I addressed. She looked at me for a second before her eyes went wide.

"B-B-But why would-"

"H-H-How did you do that?" Twilight said in shaky breaths. I turned to her and watched her get on her hooves slowly.

"After learning from your early shield preparation that you shield attacks rather than dodge them, it was really easy. I made a spell called [Mana Break] which breaks down mana manipulative magic at a super fast speed. Since you are still focusing on making a shield and the mana gets dispersed, magic does the next best thing. Can you name it for me?" I asked Twilight, knowing good time well that she can.

"I-it uses the mental waves i-instead of mana to build it."

"Yep! You basically used every mental sensor, ranging from pain sensors to thinking sensors, in your body to attempt to create a shield. Unless you are a masochist, there was no way that shield was going up after that attack." I finished.

She looked at me and then looked back towards the ground.

"I'm gonna need to prepare extra hard for two days time." Twilight said. She got up on her hooves and towards the library, locking the door on her way inside.

Author's Note

Introducing the Death and Gore tag! It seems I let my creativeness get too wild and had ideas that required it.

Have a nice day!
