Vidyanon: Metal...Apple...

>A few seconds after that last sentence, the words "Level Up!" appeared over his head once again

"Alright, now how do I do this again?"

>Anon jumped over and over again, attempting to grab the words

>Like last time, he didn't succeed

"Shit. So how the hell am I supposed to..."Level Up" anyw-"

>His vision blurred again and he froze in place

>Twilight gave a deadpan look

 

"Oh boy, here we go again."

 

Choose a Skill to Level Up

 

Strength. Stamina. Magic

 

"Uh...Stamina?"

 

Choose a Perk!

( ) Flight

( ) Molten Fire-breath

( ) Cool-looking bandanna

 

"Oh Oh Oh! I want the bandanna!

 

Fucking seriously?

 

>The words mocked him

"Shut up. It's my choice."

 

>He was able to move again

>Anon felt around his head to confirm what he felt

>A bandanna was tied around his head, the ends flowing in the wind even though there wasn't a draft

"Cool!"

>"Anon, what in Celestia's name is going on?"

"Like I said, I have no idea. It's fuckin' weird, but so far nothing bad's happened."

>"Other than you freezing in place?"

"Oh come on, It's not like it hurt or anything."

>Twilight facehooves

>"That's not the point. Something seriously wrong could be happening in P0nyville."

"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. Why must you assume the worst when strange shit happens?'

>"Because the worst could be happening!"

"Just chill out, dude! Look, if anything bad -does- happen, you'll be the first to know. Now I gotta skedaddle. Supposed to be helping out at the farm today and I'm late."

>"You know Applejack's going to try to rape you again, right?"

"Well duh. Why do you think I asked for the invincibility spell?"

>"And how do you plan on dealing with her?"

"Same as usual. Just wing it. Somehow I'm always able to get away. No idea why, guess I'm just that lucky."

>And on that, Anon left the library

 

>Anon approached the farm. He was greeted by Big Mac

>"Howdy, Anon. How come yer so late?"

>Suddenly the heads up display disappeared, only to be replaced by a wheel of sorts in the bottom center of Anon's vision

>On the right of the wheel were three sentences, each saying something different

>The one on the top read, "Business at the Library"

>The one in the middle said "I was busy"

>The one at the bottom said "Fuck off"

>Seeing this, Anon hesitated a bit before realizing Big Mac was waiting for a response

>But not waiting impatiently...it was like he was waiting for Anon to choose one of the sentences

>Anon looked at the top sentence

"Sorry, Mac. I had to ask Twilight about a spell."

>"That's alright, just go on and get to carryin' the bushels couldja?"

>Big Mac started walking back to the orchard

>Anon, remembering his strength upgrade, decided on something different

"Hey, Mac. How about you let me try apple bucking?"

>Big Mac turned around and gave Anon a confused look

>"Anon, y'know yer not strong enough ta knock them apples out, right?"

"I've..beeen working out?"

>Big Mac sighed and motioned Anon over with a hoof

>He led Anon to a tree with baskets underneath and pointed at it

>"Go on and try."

>Anon reared up and charged the tree, ramming it with his shoulder

>To his, and Big Mac's, surprise the tree shook, knocking every apple out of it and into the baskets

>"Well I'll be...looks like ya have been workin' out. Good work, now we can get today's buckin' done early."

>Anon nodded and picked up a bushel

>The empty white square in the top right corner of his vision was graced with an exact portrait of the bushel he carried

"Whoah...inventory."

 

>Anon spent most of the afternoon knocking trees around.

>When the work day was finished, Big Mac thanked him and carried the last of his bushels to the basement. Anon picked up his last few bushels and followed

>With the apples in place, Anon popped his back and turned around to exit the cellar

>The map flashed

 

Rapist Incoming

 

>A red dot was slowly moving towards the cellar door

>Anon felt the urge to re-tie his bandanna, completely serious'd the fuck up afterwards

>He walked over and crouched behind a bushel, steadying his breathing to keep the silence

>"Oh Anon, ah was hopin' ta reward ya fer helpin' out today."

>Anon heard trotting down the stairs, followed by hooves hitting the dirt

>"Ah know yer in here. Ah just saw ya come in."

>Anon crept behind another bushel closer to the exit

>"Huh? Who's footprints're these?"

>Anon, hearing this panicked and crept out from behind the bushel, making his way towards the exit

>"Hey!"

>He turned around to see a red exclamation mark appear above Applejack's head

>Anon dodge-rolled to Applejack and knocked her down with a quick one-two punch kick combo

 

ALERT

99.0

 

>Anon ran out of the cellar as quickly as he could

>Once he was out of Applejack's sight the number began to drop

>Anon ran to the barn and hid inside

 

BACK IN THE APPLE CELLAR

>"Aw, my achin' head. Arrrgh, that's it!"

>Applejack produced a two-way radio from nowhere

KRRSH

>"HQ!"

**THIS IS HQ**

>"A'mma need backup here."

**CONFIRMED. HOLD YOUR POSITION, BACKUP'S ON THE WAY**

 

IN THE BARN

 

CAUTION

01.1

 

BINGBING

 

"I...guess that means I'm okay?"

>Anon rose from the pile of hay he was hiding in and slowly opened the barn door

>Several men in combat uniforms and ski masks carrying assult rifles were patrolling the area

>Anon jumped back

"What in the fuck? Other humans? And they have guns?!"

>Anon surveyed the situation

>It was either attempt to sneak past the crazy humans and risk getting filled with lead

>Or stay here and wait for the metaphorical rape truck to metaphorically lodge itself up his metaphorical ass

>The choice was clear

>He opened the barn door and watched for the patrolman outside to shift his view

>He turned around and Anon took the chance, exiting the barn and running to the fence

>Another guard was walking on the path

>Anon went prone and layed his cheek on the grass

>"Hmm?"

>A question mark appeared over the guard's head

>"Must've been my imagination."

>Hearing this, Anon rose quietly and climbed over the fence

>Anon then grabbed him around the neck from behind and squeezed rapidly

>"UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-" CRACK

>Anon dropped the guard on the ground

"Holy shit, man! Are you alright?"

>Anon poked the body

"Dude?"

>He picked up the body and shook it a bit, but no response

>He dropped the body. As soon as it hit the ground a circular canister jumped up from the dead guard's chest and hovered ahove the ground where it landed, spinning in place

>Anon examined it for a moment before swiping his hand through it

>It disappeared and was replaced with the word "Ration". The word faded after a second

>The ration appeared in his inventory

 

"Weird. Fucking. Day."

 

>Anon walked home
