Grassby KujamihChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 1As dusk settled, a whistle was blown, signaling workers on the mines that their shift had ended. One by one, the miners left the holes they'd dug and began their way home except for Grass and a few others, needing extra bits and credit to keep their job. Before they could start their overtime, their manager would give a short meeting and quick reminder. " I see the newbies are hard at work, eyh? Good, good! Keep it up and you'll be regulars in no time!" Grass would give no mind to what the manager would say, as he had heard him say it several times before, and he never did become a regular in their mining facility. Usually, the meetings would be about safety and work flow, but now it's just him bragging and pep talk. Half an hour has passed, and the manager finally got tired of talking and sent them on their way. Grass and the others would have a quick dinner break before grabbing their tools and mine once more. This is one of the many lives Grass experiences, as he never lands a job that would last. Every week or month, he'd have a different job, as it seems fate has favored him poorly. However as a result of this, he became accustomed to life's trials and received vital experience from a blue-collar job, as well as the opportunity to make numerous acquaintances. He mines his life away and considers the life he has chosen. Was it worth it? But he shook it off and reminded himself that even though he didn't acquire a permanent job, he had a great time trying out new things. As his thoughts wandered, he became distracted and didn't realize he had hit something. And with that, a bright flash of light would blind the terrified stallion. He attempts to open his eyes, but all he sees is white. "Oh no! I'm blind! Help! He-" he stops when he notices he can see his hoof. The stallion was astonished and unable to speak when he came to the realization that he had died. He'd quickly discover that there are no floors where he is, and there is no sensation of up and down, which made him sick. The huge white view and the unpleasant feeling of weightlessness stressed him out, causing the poor pony to faint. He'd eventually wake up after a good night's sleep and let out a big, satisfied yawn. He smiled as he stretched his hooves and body. "Wow, I haven't had a nap that satisfying since friendship school." He remembered why he was here in the first place: to work. " Crap! I should get back to work before I get in trouble." He tried to find one of his pickaxes, but it was not there. All of his equipment is gone. Luckily, glowing mushrooms are scattered across the mines, and it was enough to light the place, which he hadn't noticed before. Not only was he sleeping on the job, but he lost the equipment he was using. This greatly troubled Grass, and he tried to remember where he put it. And that's when he remembered the flash of light that attacked him. It just occurred to him that the flash of light might be a valuable artifact that he might've broken. He sighed and accepted his fate; it's as if the manager would make him a regular anyway. He walked back to where their office was, but it seems he got lost. He doesn't recognize this part of the cave and was panicking for a bit. Did I actually got lost? He continued to run until he found a familiar route, but no luck; he was deeply lost, and his only company were the glowing mushrooms. " Help!!" He yelled desperately for rescue, not knowing that his actions would lure something else, a giant mole rat golem. The beast towers over the pony, to the point it barely fits in the tunnels. It slowly lumbers towards grass with its large, sharp claws and menacing, rotting yellow teeth. " Ah hell no!" Grass did not have the time to know where he was and just ran for his life. Time flies by when your life's in danger and eventually his adrenaline and strength would diminish, and fatigue would catch up to him. As he stopped to catch his breath, he'd hear the lumbering beast clawing its way towards him. "This must be a dream, if not some kind of weird hell! Why, dear Celestia, why!? I've been good my whole life? I never once complain... I think." Crumble. Before he could react, the floor he stepped on began to crumble, forcing him to react in this situation. Clatter tap clank. (15) He heard a weird rattle of some sort, like someone dropped a pebble of some sort. The stallion has no time to wonder as the floor he is on is about to collapse. He hurriedly ran to a much more stable flooring before the floor collapsed. As he successfully crossed the crumbling floor, he saw that the giant mole rat golem was still following him. As soon as the creature set its foot on the weak floor, it collapsed and dropped the mole rat golem into—(1)—the mouth of a much bigger creature, a giant snake wurm viper lamma. " Well I didn't expect that." He continued to run for his life, avoiding a fate inside the creature's belly. (16) His fate would turn for the better as he finds a bright light at the end of the tunnel— an exit! This brought joy in Grass's eyes as he hurries towards it, but the snake still continued to hunt him, crawling and nearing him by the minute. Finding the exit was one thing, but the beast would eventually catch up to him and be eaten. He must take action on what to do with the beast chasing him. As he got near the exit, the tunnel grew wider and wider, and pillars can now be seen holding the cave entrance roof filled with stalactites. This was his chance. And began kicking the pillars. -(1)- "Ouch!! Ah my leg!?" He broke one of his hooves. His worry on his leg would be cut short as the snake is already near him. He had no choice but to try again. -(4)- " AAAA!!!" The pain was felt by his whole body. The pony panicked and hoped his strength was enough to break the pillars, but he failed continuously. He might as well break the rest of his hooves by trying. And so he did. Clank tap bonk -(17)- As his desperation grew, he gave it his all, as his life depended on it. " AAAAAAA!" SLAM!! CRACK! CRASH!!! The pillar collapsed, pinning the snake, while the stalactite above the ceiling came loose and dropped at the snake right at the center of its head, instantly killing it. As the dust settled, Grass was still shocked at the events that happened and couldn't believe that he survived. He wanted to celebrate his victory but the fact remains that he has two broken legs. What would he do next? Lost and confused, he decided to rest for now as he just ran for an hour, nonstop, and killed a giant snake. He'd soon fall asleep once more, not carrying what awaited him; he was too tired. Clank bonk tap clap... -(15)- Chapter 2Inside a lush jungle, hides a cave where we last left Grass to sleep his worries away. But we'd soon see that he barely took any sleep as the pain on his legs would bother him, and a bright screen projecting his status and skills is infront of his face. The stallion has no idea what it was, it just suddenly showed out of nowhere after killing the giant serpent like creature. He tried touching it and the light follows his hoof and wherever he looks. " How am i to turn this off?" He infuriatingly asked, as he really wanted to sleep. " Strength? Agility? Intelligence? Skills!? Can't i fall asleep first before the pain kicks in?" He tried to mess around his status bar to find the exit function. " Damnit, i knew i should've learned how to use a celly phony majig." He'd accidentally click quick regen and he began glowing brightly. " Oh. Wait. Umm... No. Lights off how?" He clicked it again but he didn't turned off. In a panic he tapped what he thought was an on/off button of him turning his lights, until another bright screen colored in red would appear; highlighting something. He didn't read it and just pressed whatever. The red screen keeps popping up, which made him panicked and rapid tap the red status bar. " Oooohhh no no no. Red means bad, I've broken it. Please go back." A glitch would occur and the red status bar would stop glowing. And fizzes. Now it's unreadable. " Oohh poop." Fzzt. The warning stopped from popping up, and the usual status bar would present itself. " Uuuuhh... Okay well that was a nice distraction." He was pooped and once again tired and stressed because of this contraption in front of him. He lies down as depression and stress looms over him, bothering the stallion, as he loses hope. what is this? How do i turn this off? And where the hell am I!? I've never seen this kind of entrance before. Will i be rescued? He looked at the exit and sees a jungle outside. " Definitely not the same way i got in. Did i found another entrance?" He wondered. He was at a lost on what to do, two of his legs are busted and this screen infront of him wont turn of. All he could do now was wait and mess around with his status bar again. " Well i ain't pressing that one again." He browsed his status bar once more, and began enjoying what he reads. Soon, he had the courage to press on it again. " This is like what the unicorns do when they study right? Have i become a unicorn?" He touched his forehead and no horn. " Oh..." Perhaps it was the artifact? he could only speculate. After pressing the screen and become familiar to his status bar, he'd see that theres a lot of things he read and didn't understand. He knows that pressing the arrows would increase a number and once. He was sure that the top left corner is his name and beside it is a level that has numbers. " ... So this is mine? What would happen if i press okay though? He played for a bit and pressed up on strength 10 times,five on Agility and five on Intelligence. Then pressed approve. The status bar vanished and he began to glow." Ohh shit here we go again!" Poof the pain on his body was gone and his legs was well again. Wait what? A smile was brought back to his face and he could finally walk again, " okay! I'll take it. This is good, right? Wait... Im not cursed or something right?" This thought only lingered for a second before shrugging it off, "nah!" Then he'd give a bit of stretch to his legs and double checked if it was really okay, before exploring the room he was in. The hall was quite massive, the size of a stadium even. He looked at the pillar that he broke once more and to the corpse of the snake "did i really do that?" The pillar was quite thick and the snake, tremendously big. He was definitely lucky on surviving this ordeal. As he looked around, he'd see the top of the snakes head has also a shiny status bar that he has. Curious, he approached it and began reading it. " Would you like to collect the items? Yes or no?" Is what's written. He did kill the beast, and was curious on what item it was. Click! The creature began to shine bright which flinched the pony. What's with all the light's!?" Poof a dagger, a piece of skin and a giant fang replaced the corpse of the giant snake. " Wait what?" The pony got even confused, what happened to the body? And what are these? He picked it up and another status bar came up for him to read, which he'd have no clue what this was for. " Errr... Better than nothing i guess? He wraps the skin on the giant fang and carried it on his back while he placed the dagger at his mouth. " Souvenirs i guess." He mumbles as the blade is still on his mouth. He exits the cave and entered the dense jungle, clearly putting the pony in disarray, as he has never hear of a jungle this thick near ponyville, not even Everfree forest was this dence and thick. Not only that, but the trees and foliage looked different. He began collecting materials which he thinks would be helpful, like thick vines he could use as rope and leaves to cover himself. Thanks to his previous jobs, he can easily make a bag and a holster for his dagger made from pieces of giant leaves and vines. He'd climbed the nearest tree and servailed the horizon. " Yup im definitely lost." Not a single land mark was familiar to him, and he was always traveling, and never got lost once in his life, except now. " Am i still in Equestria?" Chapter 3We return to Grass running away from giant anteater ant hybrids. Who have claws that could stab metal, and large mandibles that can spit out their tongue by a mile. " Damn it!" He screams at the top of his lungs as he was being shot by the long, sticky tongues of the creatures. The day would end with him victorious against the creatures, as their sticky tongue would miss their mark and would end up tangling on something else, like on a tree or to other tongues. Most of them would fight with each other, for the rights on their prey. With this Grass easily fended himself off and was able to defeat the bugs with ease. A quick stab here and there and the bugs twitched and died quick. " Well that turned out great for me." He then enjoyed collecting all the loots from his kill and his stat bar would occasionally pop out and give him a prompt. Grass, Touch Level: 55 Strength: 30 Agility: 15 Intelligence: 10 Skills: Earth pony: 3 Quick regen:-__–—&$#2)+&0 Crafting: 2 Combat: 1 Athlete: 2 Poison resistance: 5 Hunter: 1 Assassination: 2 Grass has an inkling of an idea on how this works and what it is all about, but he wonders why he got poison resistance and assassination from, while The quick regen he knew that he broke it. " I wonder what kind of a skill is being an earth pony though? 3? Does that make me a super earth pony? Or an extraordinary one?" He was able to collect twelve sticky tongues 5 long claws and 10 mandibles. A carapace armor, and an ant eater ant helmet. He equiped it all and fancied the new garb he has. " I ain't gonna lie, this looks cool, although the suit stinks of bug corps, a bit of herbs and mint might wash off the stench. He then practiced his crafting and checked if his skills would grow. With the vines he had and newly acquired claws, he tied it together and made a hoof band of some sort, made of claws. " Ooo, i look so cool... But would this be helpful though?" He questioned. A prompt would come out of the newly made item and an explanation was given. Apparently Grass made a high quality hoofguard, that adds additional stats, and abilities. " Oooo not only do i look cool, i AM cool. Nice." He continued to make 5 more, because some of it would break and ended up making 3 having all of his hooves equiped with it. His handicraft skill increased and so did his stats as he equipped the guards on his hooves. " I may stink but i feel untouchable!" Grass began making poses on the river, checking himself on how cool he looked. " All i need now is a cape." He wanted to make one but a cape made of grass or insect carapace wouldn't look too good. But what materials are there for him to make though? Perhaps another time. And besides. He looked at the river once more. " I think this is enough already, adding a cape might be overkill and troublesome in this forest." A scream would distract the childish stallion who kept on looking at himself in the reflection of the river. " A scream of a fare mare requiring my assistance! And finally, someone to talk to! I must hurry and save her! Hu hu hu hu!" He ran frantically to where the scream was. "Fear not! For i am here to save thee maiden!" There, a mare was tangled up by the vines of a venus fly trap lion ant. Her terror vanished as she was about to be saved. " Oh hero! Please save meA!?–" she choked as she saw the getup of her rescuer. Fear and terror returned to her face."- KYAAA! SAVE ME!" Grass was to busy playing the hero to notice that he was scaring the mare and not by the lion ant venus fly trap. He draws his dagger and charged towards the plant eating horse. The Venus lion fly ant trap, sensed Grass's approach and began attacking him with its vines and sand attacks. But Grass was fast enough to dodge its attack. Grass would see something red and shinning at the body of the creature, it was small but soft, probably it's weak point. So he rushed to that location and stabbed it with his claw bracelet so he could cling to the creature. Stab! The creature was in pain and threw the mare she holds, luckily the mare landed on top of the tree. It continued to struggle and grab Grass off of its back, but he'd just cut the vines that tried to grab him. Eventually the creature would run out of vines and surrender from fatigue, giving Grass the chance to stab the weak spot of the creature with his dagger. Sploosh! Green blood would cover all over Grass as the creature bled to death. A prompt would appear again. " Would you like to collect the loot?" He'd click yes. " Phew, now that's done,. I must rescue the mare on top of the tree!" He clawed his way up the tree to deliver the mare down the tree, but to her she looked like a hungry ant eater ant." Someone save me!!!" " Please, fear not for i have came to–" click clank clonk -(20)- It was a critical roll. SMACK! Grass was hit on the face with great force that it stunned and dropped him off the tree. Luckily his level and strength was strong enough to not get killed by the strike of the mare. But the poor Stallion felt like crying, from the slap of the mare. But before he could stand up, the mare was able to escape and ran away from him. " Was it the smell? Or perhaps i didn't have a cape?" The stallion questioned, as he rubbed his swollen cheeks.

Crafting: 3 combat 1 Athlete 2 Poison resistance: 5 Hunter 1 Assassination 2 Attraction -1 Chapter 4Grass followed the general direction of the mare he saved, and who also slapped him. Acquired skill: stalker +1 " Hmmm...." Grass pouts. He'd eventually find running water, which he jumped for joy as he was quite thirsty and sick of the insect juice he kept drinking. " Yes! Water! Water!!!" He leaped head first and swam. Washing off some of the stench and insect juice from his armor. He drank the water and it refreshed him, didn't care if it was edible or not, since his resistance to poison was high, the taste was even devine to him, compared to what he usually drink. " So does this mean im near a village then?, if theres water, then there's definitely a village near it. Perhaps the mare was actually leading me towards her village? How noble of her!" He stopped playing around and had his fill of water and began following it down stream, meanwhile.... ____________ The mare was able to reach her village, which was down stream of the river. News of her adventure spread, as there was a knew species of ant eater ant, that was much dangerous than its variant. Not only that but the village's river became poisonous, an ill omen that the mare brought to them. " A curse was set upon by the mare! You shouldn't have returned!" "She doomed us all!" " No I didn't! Mom, dad. I'd never-" Slap! An elderly pony would slap her by the cheek. " Enough blasphemy from you! You must be banished from our village and never to return!" But then the elder would be disturbed by one of the guards. " The creature has appeared! The creature has appeared!" " Look what you've done! It followed you. What more proof do you want? This child has cursed us. Banishing you would be a mistake. We should offer you to the creature instead!" "Grab her!" ____________ Meanwhile, Grass was surrounded by earth ponies with spears. Their dressed up with cheap makeshift armors made of wood. " Wow wow! What's with the hostility? I'm also an earth pony, look?" He removed his helmet and revealed his face. The others would still not believe him and would not let up their guard. " Do not be fooled brothers! This creature is trying to trick us! What pony could single handedly defeat Venus flytrap ant lion?" Everyone was scared of him and continued to point their spears. Eventually one would try to give a cheap shot at his back but he was able to dodge it and grab the spear. " Hey! What do you think you're doing! You could hurt someone with that!" " Kyaaa! It got my spear!" The guard overreacted. " Jeeze! Calm down, stallion, you're embarrassing yourself." He reacted. The others either began running away or double down and attacked. He was able to dodge 2 or 3 strikes but some would hit him and his armor. Some spear would break and some would pierce his skin. " Gaa! Why!?" The others would be shocked as the beast still stood. " M-Monster!" " Run!!" " Hide your wives! Hide your kids!" Now everyone ran back inside the wooden gates and hid behind it, hoping that the beast would leave them alone. " Ouch that hurts!" He yanked the spears that got stuck to his body and quickly regenerated, leaving no injuries. " Look we didn't even damage the beast!" One pony screamed at the top of the walls. " Now that you mentioned it..." The stallion finally noticed how abnormal his body have become. " It doesn't hurt anymore..." Then an elderly stallion would rise above the gates. " Beast! We offer you a sacrifice, the mare you have been chasing! In exchange of this villages safety!" The gates opened and there, an injured pony limps towards him. It was the mare he saved. " What did you do to her!?" He quickly went towards her but the mare was scared of him. "Please spare my village!" "The creature is not satisfied! Bring more!" The elder shouted. " No! No! No more! This is enough! I'll leave you alone!" these ponies are mad!? I think it's best that i leave them alone, i think they'd be more trouble than help... But what about her? Should i leave her here? To beat someone like this is just wrong. " Come with me then." He approached the mare with her hooves. Its unknown if the mare was too tired because of her battered body or perhaps was too scared of him that she fainted. Grass had no choice but to carry her. should i really be bringing her with me? I mean she was abandoned by those crazy ponies. Leaving her with them who knows what they'll do to her... He'd begin marching off and away from the village. Luckily there was a path he can follow, and at the distance the forest became less thick. surely at the end of this road, there's another village there waiting for me and hopefully not try and attack me. Grass remained positive and trotted forward not knowing what adventure awaits him and her new companion who he probably ended up horsenapping. _________ "We are saved!" " The creature has left!" "Praise the elder!" Everyone from that cooky village began cheering as they saw the creature left. " Please please, i did this for the village." The elder bragged " The celebration can wait though as we must report this immediately to the neighboring countries and village! A new breed of monster should always be recorded and informed to the capital! Quickly! Send out the rat pigeons!" But before they could release the pigeons, a giant Elephant toad hopped and crushed the walls where the elder stood. Slam! Everyone there was shocked to see the elder crushed, and how flimsy their walls were. The village was attacked and in a panic, it only lasted a minute before it got completely flattened. Chapter 5-(11)- The sun was about to set as the mare woke up; her first view was an open field filled with orange grass, as the sun sank from it as she swayed back and forth, like how she was carried by her father on her back. The nostalgia put a smile on the mare's face and hugged her father. " Are we home yet, dad?" But an unfamiliar voice would answer her. "Uuuh, no miss." The mare quickly removed her embrace and apologized to the stranger. " I am so sorry! I thought you were my dad!" " Oh no problem. I usually get that a lot... Well, not really, but...eh?" She'd get a clear look at who she was riding, and it was the face of an ant eater ant. "Kyaaa!!!" The mare instinctively tried to slap the beast,-(10)- but her strength this time wasn't strong enough to flinch the creature. Instead, she ended up falling off of him and having a swollen hand. "Awi! Aw aw awwww... Gasp! L-leave me alone, monster!" " No no no no! I'm not okay, miss?"-(8)- The mare still stared at him in fear. So he removed his helmet and showed his face, this time it wasn't covered in insect goop and slime. "Oh... Uh... But, you're able to beat a Venus ant fly lion trap. No pony can beat that beast alone!" " Really?" " Really! You are no pony! Please, oh great beast, spare me!" She quickly bowed down. Grass was troubled, as the mare won't budge that he's really just a normal stallion. " Sigh ... Look, if I wanted to eat you... You wouldn't be here talking already, right?" " You might just be saving me for later," she answered. He face hoofed and looked irritated at the mare, which frightened her. He grabbed a piece of grass on the field and ate it. " I'm a pony; an earth pony. And if I wanted to eat you later, then I should've tied you down so you wouldn't escape." The mare began to calm down a bit, perhaps believing the creature a little. " Well... Um... Since the sun is setting... I guess we should take a rest and camp here for now." Grass started to make some fire and warmed himself up. She invited the mare to sit beside the fire, and at first she hesitated, but the cold breeze of the night would tempt her so. " So what's your name?" Grass asked. " Ahm... I-Its Petals," she replied. " Oh? What a nice coincidence, my name is Grass Touch." He smiled. " Who'd name their child Grass?" Petals questioned. " Wh-!? Wa!? Your names, Petals!" He pointed out. Petals got scared as he carelessly mocked the creature's name, remembering that this supposed pony can kill her anytime. " A-ah... Yeah! Y-you have a point, s-sorry Grass," she shivered. He didn't mean to frighten the mare and tried to lighten the mood, but failed in every way. The two would eventually sleep beside the campfire, as it deters creatures and the cold at night. But Petals have other plans. She easily slipped out and escaped. She rushed back to her village, happy that she easily got away. But she'd remember what they did to her. Should she really go back? Wont they just hurt her again? She froze from where she stood and stuck on what to do... She has nowhere to go. A howl would snap the mare from her trans and see she was already surrounded by timber wolves. The creature slowly encircled her while she cowered in fear. The beasts snapped their jaws at the helpless pony as she tried to kick them away. "L-Leave me be!" She cried. One wolf would impatiently lounge toward her in an attempt to strike her down, but something would strike it down before it could successfully attack the mare. The mare cried for joy as she was saved, but she was shocked as she found out that it was Grass who saved her. She felt ashamed, but Grass continued to slaughter the pack of wolves. As the last Timber Wolf howled its last cry, the deed was done, and he began collecting the Timber Wolf loot. " What? This is all I got? I could've just easily cut a tree and gotten these materials..." Eventually he'd check the mare to see if she's alright. "Ma'am, it's best you stay close to the fire when it's night; also, if you really want to go back, just wait till morning; I won't stop you if there's something important back there that you need to go back." He smiled and reassured the mare. The mare realized; what IS there for her in that hell hole of a village? Going back might cost her life; actually, it already did, and she was just lucky that she was sold to a kind monster who is willing to save her, even though she planned to run away from him. " T-thank you..." Grass was taken aback for a bit, but he'd just give a smile and invite the mare to come back at the campfire for now and have some sleep. _________ The birds chirp atop the trees as the sun rises, signaling the break of dawn. Grass wakes up and sees the mare is still there. This left a smile on his face. He didn't want to wake the mare up, so he started his day preparing. He began to stretch, and prepared some food for the both of them, then he checked his inventory. " Hmm I guess I can make a weapon on some of this..." He pondered. Sooner or later, the mare would wake up. She had a long and restful sleep like no other. She was satisfied. " Good morning, sleepyhead!" He then gave some food to the mare. "It's not much, but that's all I could scrounge up for our meal." The mare blushed and gave a bow, "Thank you..." And she began eating. As soon as they finished eating, the mare came up towards Grass and gave another bow, "Thank you for saving my life. Please let me serve you in exchange!" Grass was taken aback. He was grateful but couldn't take her offer. " Ma'am, you don't need to go that far; thanks is all I need, and besides! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten out of the forest," he replied. "Since I have no home to return to and you have taken me, wouldn't it be best that I'd do all I can to help you? You are my master after all." " Wait what?" It seems Grass has put himself in a situation that he didn't expect. Author's Note Grass Touch Lv56 Str 31 Agi 15 Int 10 Skills: Earthpony 3 Quick regen ?

Chapter 6 We return to our hero and newly owned slave, running for their lives from the baulderwolves behind them. Although slow, their gigantic body and giant leap was enough to catch up to them. A ten foot wolf like creature, made of rocks quakes with their every lounge, making the fleeing mare cry in fear as the quake closed in on them. -(1)- Thud Petals fumbled from a piece of rock and rolled to the ground, injuring one of her legs, making her unable to move as it was swollen badly. "AAAAAAA!" She cried in pain. " !?" Grass quickly returned and defended the mare from the oncoming baulderwolves. With the way the wolves charged towards them, both of them would be trampled in no time if he did not lure the wolves away from them. So he began charging towards the wolves. -(9)- the wolves was curious of why the puny pony would face them rather than ran away, making them to slow down a bit and attracted to the pony. He then lunched himself to the air to strike his blade while the wolves try to catch him mid air. -(10)- Shing! The hard rock surface of the wolves fangs and mouth would get stuck from biting down on Grass, while he continue to struggle on holding down their gigantic jaw, putting him in an awkward situation. " I did NOT think that through!" Now the other wolf is about to bit him from behind while he continued to hold down inside the mouth from the other wolf. -(9)- " Nononnono!" MUNCH!! "AAHK!" Blood would trickle down as the baulderwolf chomped down on grass. " Master!!!" Petals shouted, attracting the other Baulder wolf towards her. The mare shocked and scared, as she stared down the gigantic wolf, who was taking their time to close in and eat the crippled mare. -(9)- She began crawling away as she tried to escape,but the paws of the giant wolf would crush her in place. The mare continued to fight for her life as she tried to push off the wolves paw that's been trying to crush her. " Nnnnnnrrrgghhhaaaaaaa!!!!" She screamed in pain, fighting for her life. -(2)- sploosh the mare fainted, and blanked eye, as the paws would crush her. -(8)- Grass could not get out from the wolves mouth, he could only watch Petals, getting crushed to death as he struggled to free himself. " Noooooo!!!!!" He screamed helplessly as he watched and struggled. He gave his all to break free. -(2)- gulp ( god damn this dice...) the wolf swallowed petal whole. "AAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Grass screamed, full of rage he began furiously stabbing the insides of the wolves mouth-(3)- with no effect, it would only make wolf fight even more and crush him down. " NRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!" He then fights to pry open its mouth so he could have some space to move. -(8)-and so he did. A Glimmer a hope shines ever so quickly; just to mock the stallion and quickly as it shines goes dim and dark, as he slowly drops down the beasts throat Time would slowly move and his life flashed before his eyes. And at the end of it. Petals. Cruel. Too cruel... This world. Clink as his mind goes blank and sight gone dark, he'd see from the distance a 20 sided dice rolling. Clank! As it slowly rolls close and was about to reveal the number, it was about to land on number 3. His eyes who was anticipating for a good roll became red in rage. His body began to tremble and continued his will to live. And before the dice lands to the number 3- SSSSSTAB! Crack!! -(17)- His dagger pierces through the dice and into the wolves throat, making his fall halt and dangle from inside its throat. " ARRRKKK!?" The wolf choked and struggled, as the stallion fought for his life inside the panicked wolf. " Neigh!!!!" -(13)- he forced the dagger even deeper as his bones break and his blood spilled out of his body. He did not care for the pain as his rage carried him through, his body continued to bleed and break while his skill regenerate his body. A bloody cycle that was able to break the system and with that– Swoosh! the wolves head decapitated and the bloody stallion crawls out from where its head once sat. He slowly rised from his grave and pointed his blade from the frightened wolf. A New Monster was born. The wolf whimpered and slowly backed away from him, as it saw the beasts Aura emanating from the little ponies body. It towered even the mountains and caused every living being who saw or felt it to flee from the vicinity. " You're next." He said with a stare that could pierce through souls. He began to charge towards the wolf, aiming to kill the beast who ate petals. -(2)- clink. The wolf began to run away from the crazed, bloody pony with its life. Whimpering and yelping as it flees. "COME BACK HEEEEEERRRREEEEE!!!!!" His vision began to blur and his movement became slow. The stress and adrenaline would finally cought up to him. Their distance grew far until he could not see the wolf anymore. His knees gives way and his mind gone blank. The stallion lies at the side of the road, defeated and unconscious. A shockwave that was once felt a decade ago pulsed across Equestria once more and spread panic and fear to every living creature of this world. Bells and horns across the world would ring aloud, everyone would rush and congregate in a panic, awaiting for the news of what is to come. Meanwhile at Canterlot, there a princess White as snow sat alone on her throne, her wings was as wide as his body, and her horn as long as her neck. Her celestial like har waves down to her side up until at the back of her rump and tail as long and wavey as her mane. An Alicorn that is looked and marveled upon. " Princess Celestia!" One of the guards who rushed in called. " I know, it has begun." The princess answered. "But you highness, your prophecy!?" " Broken i know. And so too the peace of this world." The guards looked up to the princess in shock and continued to murmur amongst each other; growing their doubt and fear. The princess, with a heavy heart sighs deeply, causing the guards around to stiffen and stood properly infront of the princess. " Forgive me your highness-" the princess would raise her hoof and halt the guards speech. The tall alicorn would stand and move towards the exit, while the guard with the message follows. " The presence's epicenter is within our borders, somewhere south, near Appleoosa, correct?" The stallion checked the scroll he had, before answering. "Uhmm... Yes, your highness." "Tighten our borders and send news to all our neighboring countries of our situation. I will be handling this creature personally. Call in Sunset Shimmer to my side and the Elite Royal Guards, we have a war to settle." Chapter 7Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 1As dusk settled, a whistle was blown, signaling workers on the mines that their shift had ended. One by one, the miners left the holes they'd dug and began their way home except for Grass and a few others, needing extra bits and credit to keep their job. Before they could start their overtime, their manager would give a short meeting and quick reminder. " I see the newbies are hard at work, eyh? Good, good! Keep it up and you'll be regulars in no time!" Grass would give no mind to what the manager would say, as he had heard him say it several times before, and he never did become a regular in their mining facility. Usually, the meetings would be about safety and work flow, but now it's just him bragging and pep talk. Half an hour has passed, and the manager finally got tired of talking and sent them on their way. Grass and the others would have a quick dinner break before grabbing their tools and mine once more. This is one of the many lives Grass experiences, as he never lands a job that would last. Every week or month, he'd have a different job, as it seems fate has favored him poorly. However as a result of this, he became accustomed to life's trials and received vital experience from a blue-collar job, as well as the opportunity to make numerous acquaintances. He mines his life away and considers the life he has chosen. Was it worth it? But he shook it off and reminded himself that even though he didn't acquire a permanent job, he had a great time trying out new things. As his thoughts wandered, he became distracted and didn't realize he had hit something. And with that, a bright flash of light would blind the terrified stallion. He attempts to open his eyes, but all he sees is white. "Oh no! I'm blind! Help! He-" he stops when he notices he can see his hoof. The stallion was astonished and unable to speak when he came to the realization that he had died. He'd quickly discover that there are no floors where he is, and there is no sensation of up and down, which made him sick. The huge white view and the unpleasant feeling of weightlessness stressed him out, causing the poor pony to faint. He'd eventually wake up after a good night's sleep and let out a big, satisfied yawn. He smiled as he stretched his hooves and body. "Wow, I haven't had a nap that satisfying since friendship school." He remembered why he was here in the first place: to work. " Crap! I should get back to work before I get in trouble." He tried to find one of his pickaxes, but it was not there. All of his equipment is gone. Luckily, glowing mushrooms are scattered across the mines, and it was enough to light the place, which he hadn't noticed before. Not only was he sleeping on the job, but he lost the equipment he was using. This greatly troubled Grass, and he tried to remember where he put it. And that's when he remembered the flash of light that attacked him. It just occurred to him that the flash of light might be a valuable artifact that he might've broken. He sighed and accepted his fate; it's as if the manager would make him a regular anyway. He walked back to where their office was, but it seems he got lost. He doesn't recognize this part of the cave and was panicking for a bit. Did I actually got lost? He continued to run until he found a familiar route, but no luck; he was deeply lost, and his only company were the glowing mushrooms. " Help!!" He yelled desperately for rescue, not knowing that his actions would lure something else, a giant mole rat golem. The beast towers over the pony, to the point it barely fits in the tunnels. It slowly lumbers towards grass with its large, sharp claws and menacing, rotting yellow teeth. " Ah hell no!" Grass did not have the time to know where he was and just ran for his life. Time flies by when your life's in danger and eventually his adrenaline and strength would diminish, and fatigue would catch up to him. As he stopped to catch his breath, he'd hear the lumbering beast clawing its way towards him. "This must be a dream, if not some kind of weird hell! Why, dear Celestia, why!? I've been good my whole life? I never once complain... I think." Crumble. Before he could react, the floor he stepped on began to crumble, forcing him to react in this situation. Clatter tap clank. (15) He heard a weird rattle of some sort, like someone dropped a pebble of some sort. The stallion has no time to wonder as the floor he is on is about to collapse. He hurriedly ran to a much more stable flooring before the floor collapsed. As he successfully crossed the crumbling floor, he saw that the giant mole rat golem was still following him. As soon as the creature set its foot on the weak floor, it collapsed and dropped the mole rat golem into—(1)—the mouth of a much bigger creature, a giant snake wurm viper lamma. " Well I didn't expect that." He continued to run for his life, avoiding a fate inside the creature's belly. (16) His fate would turn for the better as he finds a bright light at the end of the tunnel— an exit! This brought joy in Grass's eyes as he hurries towards it, but the snake still continued to hunt him, crawling and nearing him by the minute. Finding the exit was one thing, but the beast would eventually catch up to him and be eaten. He must take action on what to do with the beast chasing him. As he got near the exit, the tunnel grew wider and wider, and pillars can now be seen holding the cave entrance roof filled with stalactites. This was his chance. And began kicking the pillars. -(1)- "Ouch!! Ah my leg!?" He broke one of his hooves. His worry on his leg would be cut short as the snake is already near him. He had no choice but to try again. -(4)- " AAAA!!!" The pain was felt by his whole body. The pony panicked and hoped his strength was enough to break the pillars, but he failed continuously. He might as well break the rest of his hooves by trying. And so he did. Clank tap bonk -(17)- As his desperation grew, he gave it his all, as his life depended on it. " AAAAAAA!" SLAM!! CRACK! CRASH!!! The pillar collapsed, pinning the snake, while the stalactite above the ceiling came loose and dropped at the snake right at the center of its head, instantly killing it. As the dust settled, Grass was still shocked at the events that happened and couldn't believe that he survived. He wanted to celebrate his victory but the fact remains that he has two broken legs. What would he do next? Lost and confused, he decided to rest for now as he just ran for an hour, nonstop, and killed a giant snake. He'd soon fall asleep once more, not carrying what awaited him; he was too tired. Clank bonk tap clap... -(15)-
Chapter 2Inside a lush jungle, hides a cave where we last left Grass to sleep his worries away. But we'd soon see that he barely took any sleep as the pain on his legs would bother him, and a bright screen projecting his status and skills is infront of his face. The stallion has no idea what it was, it just suddenly showed out of nowhere after killing the giant serpent like creature. He tried touching it and the light follows his hoof and wherever he looks. " How am i to turn this off?" He infuriatingly asked, as he really wanted to sleep. " Strength? Agility? Intelligence? Skills!? Can't i fall asleep first before the pain kicks in?" He tried to mess around his status bar to find the exit function. " Damnit, i knew i should've learned how to use a celly phony majig." He'd accidentally click quick regen and he began glowing brightly. " Oh. Wait. Umm... No. Lights off how?" He clicked it again but he didn't turned off. In a panic he tapped what he thought was an on/off button of him turning his lights, until another bright screen colored in red would appear; highlighting something. He didn't read it and just pressed whatever. The red screen keeps popping up, which made him panicked and rapid tap the red status bar. " Oooohhh no no no. Red means bad, I've broken it. Please go back." A glitch would occur and the red status bar would stop glowing. And fizzes. Now it's unreadable. " Oohh poop." Fzzt. The warning stopped from popping up, and the usual status bar would present itself. " Uuuuhh... Okay well that was a nice distraction." He was pooped and once again tired and stressed because of this contraption in front of him. He lies down as depression and stress looms over him, bothering the stallion, as he loses hope. what is this? How do i turn this off? And where the hell am I!? I've never seen this kind of entrance before. Will i be rescued? He looked at the exit and sees a jungle outside. " Definitely not the same way i got in. Did i found another entrance?" He wondered. He was at a lost on what to do, two of his legs are busted and this screen infront of him wont turn of. All he could do now was wait and mess around with his status bar again. " Well i ain't pressing that one again." He browsed his status bar once more, and began enjoying what he reads. Soon, he had the courage to press on it again. " This is like what the unicorns do when they study right? Have i become a unicorn?" He touched his forehead and no horn. " Oh..." Perhaps it was the artifact? he could only speculate. After pressing the screen and become familiar to his status bar, he'd see that theres a lot of things he read and didn't understand. He knows that pressing the arrows would increase a number and once. He was sure that the top left corner is his name and beside it is a level that has numbers. " ... So this is mine? What would happen if i press okay though? He played for a bit and pressed up on strength 10 times,five on Agility and five on Intelligence. Then pressed approve. The status bar vanished and he began to glow." Ohh shit here we go again!" Poof the pain on his body was gone and his legs was well again. Wait what? A smile was brought back to his face and he could finally walk again, " okay! I'll take it. This is good, right? Wait... Im not cursed or something right?" This thought only lingered for a second before shrugging it off, "nah!" Then he'd give a bit of stretch to his legs and double checked if it was really okay, before exploring the room he was in. The hall was quite massive, the size of a stadium even. He looked at the pillar that he broke once more and to the corpse of the snake "did i really do that?" The pillar was quite thick and the snake, tremendously big. He was definitely lucky on surviving this ordeal. As he looked around, he'd see the top of the snakes head has also a shiny status bar that he has. Curious, he approached it and began reading it. " Would you like to collect the items? Yes or no?" Is what's written. He did kill the beast, and was curious on what item it was. Click! The creature began to shine bright which flinched the pony. What's with all the light's!?" Poof a dagger, a piece of skin and a giant fang replaced the corpse of the giant snake. " Wait what?" The pony got even confused, what happened to the body? And what are these? He picked it up and another status bar came up for him to read, which he'd have no clue what this was for. " Errr... Better than nothing i guess? He wraps the skin on the giant fang and carried it on his back while he placed the dagger at his mouth. " Souvenirs i guess." He mumbles as the blade is still on his mouth. He exits the cave and entered the dense jungle, clearly putting the pony in disarray, as he has never hear of a jungle this thick near ponyville, not even Everfree forest was this dence and thick. Not only that, but the trees and foliage looked different. He began collecting materials which he thinks would be helpful, like thick vines he could use as rope and leaves to cover himself. Thanks to his previous jobs, he can easily make a bag and a holster for his dagger made from pieces of giant leaves and vines. He'd climbed the nearest tree and servailed the horizon. " Yup im definitely lost." Not a single land mark was familiar to him, and he was always traveling, and never got lost once in his life, except now. " Am i still in Equestria?"
Chapter 3We return to Grass running away from giant anteater ant hybrids. Who have claws that could stab metal, and large mandibles that can spit out their tongue by a mile. " Damn it!" He screams at the top of his lungs as he was being shot by the long, sticky tongues of the creatures. The day would end with him victorious against the creatures, as their sticky tongue would miss their mark and would end up tangling on something else, like on a tree or to other tongues. Most of them would fight with each other, for the rights on their prey. With this Grass easily fended himself off and was able to defeat the bugs with ease. A quick stab here and there and the bugs twitched and died quick. " Well that turned out great for me." He then enjoyed collecting all the loots from his kill and his stat bar would occasionally pop out and give him a prompt. Grass, Touch Level: 55 Strength: 30 Agility: 15 Intelligence: 10 Skills: Earth pony: 3 Quick regen:-__–—&$#2)+&0 Crafting: 2 Combat: 1 Athlete: 2 Poison resistance: 5 Hunter: 1 Assassination: 2 Grass has an inkling of an idea on how this works and what it is all about, but he wonders why he got poison resistance and assassination from, while The quick regen he knew that he broke it. " I wonder what kind of a skill is being an earth pony though? 3? Does that make me a super earth pony? Or an extraordinary one?" He was able to collect twelve sticky tongues 5 long claws and 10 mandibles. A carapace armor, and an ant eater ant helmet. He equiped it all and fancied the new garb he has. " I ain't gonna lie, this looks cool, although the suit stinks of bug corps, a bit of herbs and mint might wash off the stench. He then practiced his crafting and checked if his skills would grow. With the vines he had and newly acquired claws, he tied it together and made a hoof band of some sort, made of claws. " Ooo, i look so cool... But would this be helpful though?" He questioned. A prompt would come out of the newly made item and an explanation was given. Apparently Grass made a high quality hoofguard, that adds additional stats, and abilities. " Oooo not only do i look cool, i AM cool. Nice." He continued to make 5 more, because some of it would break and ended up making 3 having all of his hooves equiped with it. His handicraft skill increased and so did his stats as he equipped the guards on his hooves. " I may stink but i feel untouchable!" Grass began making poses on the river, checking himself on how cool he looked. " All i need now is a cape." He wanted to make one but a cape made of grass or insect carapace wouldn't look too good. But what materials are there for him to make though? Perhaps another time. And besides. He looked at the river once more. " I think this is enough already, adding a cape might be overkill and troublesome in this forest." A scream would distract the childish stallion who kept on looking at himself in the reflection of the river. " A scream of a fare mare requiring my assistance! And finally, someone to talk to! I must hurry and save her! Hu hu hu hu!" He ran frantically to where the scream was. "Fear not! For i am here to save thee maiden!" There, a mare was tangled up by the vines of a venus fly trap lion ant. Her terror vanished as she was about to be saved. " Oh hero! Please save meA!?–" she choked as she saw the getup of her rescuer. Fear and terror returned to her face."- KYAAA! SAVE ME!" Grass was to busy playing the hero to notice that he was scaring the mare and not by the lion ant venus fly trap. He draws his dagger and charged towards the plant eating horse. The Venus lion fly ant trap, sensed Grass's approach and began attacking him with its vines and sand attacks. But Grass was fast enough to dodge its attack. Grass would see something red and shinning at the body of the creature, it was small but soft, probably it's weak point. So he rushed to that location and stabbed it with his claw bracelet so he could cling to the creature. Stab! The creature was in pain and threw the mare she holds, luckily the mare landed on top of the tree. It continued to struggle and grab Grass off of its back, but he'd just cut the vines that tried to grab him. Eventually the creature would run out of vines and surrender from fatigue, giving Grass the chance to stab the weak spot of the creature with his dagger. Sploosh! Green blood would cover all over Grass as the creature bled to death. A prompt would appear again. " Would you like to collect the loot?" He'd click yes. " Phew, now that's done,. I must rescue the mare on top of the tree!" He clawed his way up the tree to deliver the mare down the tree, but to her she looked like a hungry ant eater ant." Someone save me!!!" " Please, fear not for i have came to–" click clank clonk -(20)- It was a critical roll. SMACK! Grass was hit on the face with great force that it stunned and dropped him off the tree. Luckily his level and strength was strong enough to not get killed by the strike of the mare. But the poor Stallion felt like crying, from the slap of the mare. But before he could stand up, the mare was able to escape and ran away from him. " Was it the smell? Or perhaps i didn't have a cape?" The stallion questioned, as he rubbed his swollen cheeks.

Chapter 4Grass followed the general direction of the mare he saved, and who also slapped him. Acquired skill: stalker +1 " Hmmm...." Grass pouts. He'd eventually find running water, which he jumped for joy as he was quite thirsty and sick of the insect juice he kept drinking. " Yes! Water! Water!!!" He leaped head first and swam. Washing off some of the stench and insect juice from his armor. He drank the water and it refreshed him, didn't care if it was edible or not, since his resistance to poison was high, the taste was even devine to him, compared to what he usually drink. " So does this mean im near a village then?, if theres water, then there's definitely a village near it. Perhaps the mare was actually leading me towards her village? How noble of her!" He stopped playing around and had his fill of water and began following it down stream, meanwhile.... ____________ The mare was able to reach her village, which was down stream of the river. News of her adventure spread, as there was a knew species of ant eater ant, that was much dangerous than its variant. Not only that but the village's river became poisonous, an ill omen that the mare brought to them. " A curse was set upon by the mare! You shouldn't have returned!" "She doomed us all!" " No I didn't! Mom, dad. I'd never-" Slap! An elderly pony would slap her by the cheek. " Enough blasphemy from you! You must be banished from our village and never to return!" But then the elder would be disturbed by one of the guards. " The creature has appeared! The creature has appeared!" " Look what you've done! It followed you. What more proof do you want? This child has cursed us. Banishing you would be a mistake. We should offer you to the creature instead!" "Grab her!" ____________ Meanwhile, Grass was surrounded by earth ponies with spears. Their dressed up with cheap makeshift armors made of wood. " Wow wow! What's with the hostility? I'm also an earth pony, look?" He removed his helmet and revealed his face. The others would still not believe him and would not let up their guard. " Do not be fooled brothers! This creature is trying to trick us! What pony could single handedly defeat Venus flytrap ant lion?" Everyone was scared of him and continued to point their spears. Eventually one would try to give a cheap shot at his back but he was able to dodge it and grab the spear. " Hey! What do you think you're doing! You could hurt someone with that!" " Kyaaa! It got my spear!" The guard overreacted. " Jeeze! Calm down, stallion, you're embarrassing yourself." He reacted. The others either began running away or double down and attacked. He was able to dodge 2 or 3 strikes but some would hit him and his armor. Some spear would break and some would pierce his skin. " Gaa! Why!?" The others would be shocked as the beast still stood. " M-Monster!" " Run!!" " Hide your wives! Hide your kids!" Now everyone ran back inside the wooden gates and hid behind it, hoping that the beast would leave them alone. " Ouch that hurts!" He yanked the spears that got stuck to his body and quickly regenerated, leaving no injuries. " Look we didn't even damage the beast!" One pony screamed at the top of the walls. " Now that you mentioned it..." The stallion finally noticed how abnormal his body have become. " It doesn't hurt anymore..." Then an elderly stallion would rise above the gates. " Beast! We offer you a sacrifice, the mare you have been chasing! In exchange of this villages safety!" The gates opened and there, an injured pony limps towards him. It was the mare he saved. " What did you do to her!?" He quickly went towards her but the mare was scared of him. "Please spare my village!" "The creature is not satisfied! Bring more!" The elder shouted. " No! No! No more! This is enough! I'll leave you alone!" these ponies are mad!? I think it's best that i leave them alone, i think they'd be more trouble than help... But what about her? Should i leave her here? To beat someone like this is just wrong. " Come with me then." He approached the mare with her hooves. Its unknown if the mare was too tired because of her battered body or perhaps was too scared of him that she fainted. Grass had no choice but to carry her. should i really be bringing her with me? I mean she was abandoned by those crazy ponies. Leaving her with them who knows what they'll do to her... He'd begin marching off and away from the village. Luckily there was a path he can follow, and at the distance the forest became less thick. surely at the end of this road, there's another village there waiting for me and hopefully not try and attack me. Grass remained positive and trotted forward not knowing what adventure awaits him and her new companion who he probably ended up horsenapping. _________ "We are saved!" " The creature has left!" "Praise the elder!" Everyone from that cooky village began cheering as they saw the creature left. " Please please, i did this for the village." The elder bragged " The celebration can wait though as we must report this immediately to the neighboring countries and village! A new breed of monster should always be recorded and informed to the capital! Quickly! Send out the rat pigeons!" But before they could release the pigeons, a giant Elephant toad hopped and crushed the walls where the elder stood. Slam! Everyone there was shocked to see the elder crushed, and how flimsy their walls were. The village was attacked and in a panic, it only lasted a minute before it got completely flattened.
Chapter 5-(11)- The sun was about to set as the mare woke up; her first view was an open field filled with orange grass, as the sun sank from it as she swayed back and forth, like how she was carried by her father on her back. The nostalgia put a smile on the mare's face and hugged her father. " Are we home yet, dad?" But an unfamiliar voice would answer her. "Uuuh, no miss." The mare quickly removed her embrace and apologized to the stranger. " I am so sorry! I thought you were my dad!" " Oh no problem. I usually get that a lot... Well, not really, but...eh?" She'd get a clear look at who she was riding, and it was the face of an ant eater ant. "Kyaaa!!!" The mare instinctively tried to slap the beast,-(10)- but her strength this time wasn't strong enough to flinch the creature. Instead, she ended up falling off of him and having a swollen hand. "Awi! Aw aw awwww... Gasp! L-leave me alone, monster!" " No no no no! I'm not okay, miss?"-(8)- The mare still stared at him in fear. So he removed his helmet and showed his face, this time it wasn't covered in insect goop and slime. "Oh... Uh... But, you're able to beat a Venus ant fly lion trap. No pony can beat that beast alone!" " Really?" " Really! You are no pony! Please, oh great beast, spare me!" She quickly bowed down. Grass was troubled, as the mare won't budge that he's really just a normal stallion. " Sigh ... Look, if I wanted to eat you... You wouldn't be here talking already, right?" " You might just be saving me for later," she answered. He face hoofed and looked irritated at the mare, which frightened her. He grabbed a piece of grass on the field and ate it. " I'm a pony; an earth pony. And if I wanted to eat you later, then I should've tied you down so you wouldn't escape." The mare began to calm down a bit, perhaps believing the creature a little. " Well... Um... Since the sun is setting... I guess we should take a rest and camp here for now." Grass started to make some fire and warmed himself up. She invited the mare to sit beside the fire, and at first she hesitated, but the cold breeze of the night would tempt her so. " So what's your name?" Grass asked. " Ahm... I-Its Petals," she replied. " Oh? What a nice coincidence, my name is Grass Touch." He smiled. " Who'd name their child Grass?" Petals questioned. " Wh-!? Wa!? Your names, Petals!" He pointed out. Petals got scared as he carelessly mocked the creature's name, remembering that this supposed pony can kill her anytime. " A-ah... Yeah! Y-you have a point, s-sorry Grass," she shivered. He didn't mean to frighten the mare and tried to lighten the mood, but failed in every way. The two would eventually sleep beside the campfire, as it deters creatures and the cold at night. But Petals have other plans. She easily slipped out and escaped. She rushed back to her village, happy that she easily got away. But she'd remember what they did to her. Should she really go back? Wont they just hurt her again? She froze from where she stood and stuck on what to do... She has nowhere to go. A howl would snap the mare from her trans and see she was already surrounded by timber wolves. The creature slowly encircled her while she cowered in fear. The beasts snapped their jaws at the helpless pony as she tried to kick them away. "L-Leave me be!" She cried. One wolf would impatiently lounge toward her in an attempt to strike her down, but something would strike it down before it could successfully attack the mare. The mare cried for joy as she was saved, but she was shocked as she found out that it was Grass who saved her. She felt ashamed, but Grass continued to slaughter the pack of wolves. As the last Timber Wolf howled its last cry, the deed was done, and he began collecting the Timber Wolf loot. " What? This is all I got? I could've just easily cut a tree and gotten these materials..." Eventually he'd check the mare to see if she's alright. "Ma'am, it's best you stay close to the fire when it's night; also, if you really want to go back, just wait till morning; I won't stop you if there's something important back there that you need to go back." He smiled and reassured the mare. The mare realized; what IS there for her in that hell hole of a village? Going back might cost her life; actually, it already did, and she was just lucky that she was sold to a kind monster who is willing to save her, even though she planned to run away from him. " T-thank you..." Grass was taken aback for a bit, but he'd just give a smile and invite the mare to come back at the campfire for now and have some sleep. _________ The birds chirp atop the trees as the sun rises, signaling the break of dawn. Grass wakes up and sees the mare is still there. This left a smile on his face. He didn't want to wake the mare up, so he started his day preparing. He began to stretch, and prepared some food for the both of them, then he checked his inventory. " Hmm I guess I can make a weapon on some of this..." He pondered. Sooner or later, the mare would wake up. She had a long and restful sleep like no other. She was satisfied. " Good morning, sleepyhead!" He then gave some food to the mare. "It's not much, but that's all I could scrounge up for our meal." The mare blushed and gave a bow, "Thank you..." And she began eating. As soon as they finished eating, the mare came up towards Grass and gave another bow, "Thank you for saving my life. Please let me serve you in exchange!" Grass was taken aback. He was grateful but couldn't take her offer. " Ma'am, you don't need to go that far; thanks is all I need, and besides! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten out of the forest," he replied. "Since I have no home to return to and you have taken me, wouldn't it be best that I'd do all I can to help you? You are my master after all." " Wait what?" It seems Grass has put himself in a situation that he didn't expect. Author's Note Grass Touch Lv56 Str 31 Agi 15 Int 10 Skills: Earthpony 3 Quick regen ?

Chapter 6Author's Note Spoilers and something really important. Due to the dice roles that were made... Uhmm.... Things have gone south and gruesome. So please know that there will be blood and death this early in the story please note that this was not my target for this story, but because of its randomness... And the dice throws that were made..... Yeaaaahhhh... So my only defence to this is its tagged " RANDOM" i did not want this. Chapter 6 We return to our hero and newly owned slave, running for their lives from the baulderwolves behind them. Although slow, their gigantic body and giant leap was enough to catch up to them. A ten foot wolf like creature, made of rocks quakes with their every lounge, making the fleeing mare cry in fear as the quake closed in on them. -(1)- Thud Petals fumbled from a piece of rock and rolled to the ground, injuring one of her legs, making her unable to move as it was swollen badly. "AAAAAAA!" She cried in pain. " !?" Grass quickly returned and defended the mare from the oncoming baulderwolves. With the way the wolves charged towards them, both of them would be trampled in no time if he did not lure the wolves away from them. So he began charging towards the wolves. -(9)- the wolves was curious of why the puny pony would face them rather than ran away, making them to slow down a bit and attracted to the pony. He then lunched himself to the air to strike his blade while the wolves try to catch him mid air. -(10)- Shing! The hard rock surface of the wolves fangs and mouth would get stuck from biting down on Grass, while he continue to struggle on holding down their gigantic jaw, putting him in an awkward situation. " I did NOT think that through!" Now the other wolf is about to bit him from behind while he continued to hold down inside the mouth from the other wolf. -(9)- " Nononnono!" MUNCH!! "AAHK!" Blood would trickle down as the baulderwolf chomped down on grass. " Master!!!" Petals shouted, attracting the other Baulder wolf towards her. The mare shocked and scared, as she stared down the gigantic wolf, who was taking their time to close in and eat the crippled mare. -(9)- She began crawling away as she tried to escape,but the paws of the giant wolf would crush her in place. The mare continued to fight for her life as she tried to push off the wolves paw that's been trying to crush her. " Nnnnnnrrrgghhhaaaaaaa!!!!" She screamed in pain, fighting for her life. -(2)- sploosh the mare fainted, and blanked eye, as the paws would crush her. -(8)- Grass could not get out from the wolves mouth, he could only watch Petals, getting crushed to death as he struggled to free himself. " Noooooo!!!!!" He screamed helplessly as he watched and struggled. He gave his all to break free. -(2)- gulp ( god damn this dice...) the wolf swallowed petal whole. "AAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Grass screamed, full of rage he began furiously stabbing the insides of the wolves mouth-(3)- with no effect, it would only make wolf fight even more and crush him down. " NRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!" He then fights to pry open its mouth so he could have some space to move. -(8)-and so he did. A Glimmer a hope shines ever so quickly; just to mock the stallion and quickly as it shines goes dim and dark, as he slowly drops down the beasts throat Time would slowly move and his life flashed before his eyes. And at the end of it. Petals. Cruel. Too cruel... This world. Clink as his mind goes blank and sight gone dark, he'd see from the distance a 20 sided dice rolling. Clank! As it slowly rolls close and was about to reveal the number, it was about to land on number 3. His eyes who was anticipating for a good roll became red in rage. His body began to tremble and continued his will to live. And before the dice lands to the number 3- SSSSSTAB! Crack!! -(17)- His dagger pierces through the dice and into the wolves throat, making his fall halt and dangle from inside its throat. " ARRRKKK!?" The wolf choked and struggled, as the stallion fought for his life inside the panicked wolf. " Neigh!!!!" -(13)- he forced the dagger even deeper as his bones break and his blood spilled out of his body. He did not care for the pain as his rage carried him through, his body continued to bleed and break while his skill regenerate his body. A bloody cycle that was able to break the system and with that– Swoosh! the wolves head decapitated and the bloody stallion crawls out from where its head once sat. He slowly rised from his grave and pointed his blade from the frightened wolf. A New Monster was born. The wolf whimpered and slowly backed away from him, as it saw the beasts Aura emanating from the little ponies body. It towered even the mountains and caused every living being who saw or felt it to flee from the vicinity. " You're next." He said with a stare that could pierce through souls. He began to charge towards the wolf, aiming to kill the beast who ate petals. -(2)- clink. The wolf began to run away from the crazed, bloody pony with its life. Whimpering and yelping as it flees. "COME BACK HEEEEEERRRREEEEE!!!!!" His vision began to blur and his movement became slow. The stress and adrenaline would finally cought up to him. Their distance grew far until he could not see the wolf anymore. His knees gives way and his mind gone blank. The stallion lies at the side of the road, defeated and unconscious. A shockwave that was once felt a decade ago pulsed across Equestria once more and spread panic and fear to every living creature of this world. Bells and horns across the world would ring aloud, everyone would rush and congregate in a panic, awaiting for the news of what is to come. Meanwhile at Canterlot, there a princess White as snow sat alone on her throne, her wings was as wide as his body, and her horn as long as her neck. Her celestial like har waves down to her side up until at the back of her rump and tail as long and wavey as her mane. An Alicorn that is looked and marveled upon. " Princess Celestia!" One of the guards who rushed in called. " I know, it has begun." The princess answered. "But you highness, your prophecy!?" " Broken i know. And so too the peace of this world." The guards looked up to the princess in shock and continued to murmur amongst each other; growing their doubt and fear. The princess, with a heavy heart sighs deeply, causing the guards around to stiffen and stood properly infront of the princess. " Forgive me your highness-" the princess would raise her hoof and halt the guards speech. The tall alicorn would stand and move towards the exit, while the guard with the message follows. " The presence's epicenter is within our borders, somewhere south, near Appleoosa, correct?" The stallion checked the scroll he had, before answering. "Uhmm... Yes, your highness." "Tighten our borders and send news to all our neighboring countries of our situation. I will be handling this creature personally. Call in Sunset Shimmer to my side and the Elite Royal Guards, we have a war to settle."
