Grass

Inside 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?"
