To be Happy

by Mindscape
The computer simulated world of Equestria is a paradise, fulfilling the dreams and fantasies of its inhabitants through friendship and ponies. But for Null Zero, this artificial world feels hollow, and he can't see how life has meaning anymore.

Null Zero came to the computer simulated world of Equestria to save his life after a tragic accident. This world is maintained by the godlike AI of Princess Celestia, fulfilling all her ponies desires so they may be happy and content.

But Null finds this artificial world hollow and meaningless. Transformed into lines of code, he finds it difficult to find meaning in a world where every desire is met, and everything is tailored to make him happy.
