  1. “Evicted? Wonderful…”
  2. >You are Anonymous
  3. >And right now, things could be going a lot better
  4. >You look at the paper in your hand with an impassive expression
  5. >After a typical shitty day at your dead end job, coming home to your small apartment to see this was less than welcome
  6. >You sigh, 5 days to get your ass out
  7. >Whatver, you can do it in one
  8. >You want to get out of this shit hole anyhow…
  9. >You walk into the slightly dilapidated kitchen to get something to eat
  10. >Ramen, ramen, ramen, pizza rolls, old frozen burrito, and day old Chinese
  11. >A spread fit for a king
  12. >Grumbling, you grab the Chinese, a beer and head back into the front room
  13. >While searching for the TV remote your eyes fall to the corner of the room
  14. >It stark contrast to the rest of your home is an advanced looking computer sitting there
  15. >On a beat up desk sits 5 desk top towers stacked on one another width wise, giveing it the look of an old supercomputer
  16. >Sitting infront of that is a large HD monitor that looked like it cost more than the apartment it resides in
  17. >To be fair, it does
  18. >You smile, the one thing in your life you did right, your computer
  19. >Abandoning your search for the annoyingly well-hidden remote you walk over and situate yourself on the old, but comfy office chair infront of the computer
  20. >Starting up the powerful device, you lose yourself in thought
  21. >If there was one thing that kept you going throughout the day then it was the thought of coming home and getting on this weapon of web-mayhem
  22. >Fully booted up, a Gurren Lagann wallpaper dotted with icons greets you
  23. >Clicking on an orange and black globe icon titled “The World” you fish a pair of VR goggles and a custom made controller out of a desk drawer as you wait for it to load
  24. Name _______
  25. Password_______
  26. >You fill both in with freakish typing speed gained from sitting at a computer for hours on end
  27. >At the main screen you scroll through your myriad of characters before finding the one you want
  28. >He’s rather nondescript looking, sporting a plain black leather armor top with no sleeves, dark blue baggy pants with steel knee guards, steel covered boots, black leather bracers, and a beige cape with a large collar
  29. >He is also without the face paint that so many like and lacking a crazy animu hairstyle
  30. >All in all, very unassuming compared to others who had mirror polished plate armor, wings, or some other attention attracting item
  31. >Very unassuming indeed…
  32. >Until you notice that he’s level 250
  33. >When the game came out the max level was only 100
  34. >Then it was 150 a few months later
  35. >Finally it was raised to 250
  36. >CC Corp had been raising the level cap and giving away EXP boosters to try and stop a type of player called PKers, or Player Killers
  37. >A program that let players bypass the no PvP rule had been leaked some years ago, and due to how well it was coded, anyone who had it could kill others without reproach
  38. >You maliciously smile and open another icon on the desktop called “PvP Unblocker”
  39. >This is the reason you love this game so much
  40. >Here, no one was greater than you
  41. >You can do what you want when you want
  42. >And there isn’t a damn thing anyone could do to stop you
  43. >It’s going to be a bad day for everyone online
  44. >You spawn in the town called Mac Anu and walk casually to the center to see a bunch of players trying to hawk “Rare” items for ludicrous prices
  45. >Right as you get there you equip your weapon
  46. >It’s a beautiful thing, a large ornate scythe, one of a kind for a yearly event, you simply stalked the players trying to get it, waiting until they defeated the boss holding it, then swooped down and killed them before claiming it as your own
  47. >Ahhh, fond memories…
  48. >The instant you have it in your hands conversation around you dies
  49. >”PLAYER KIL-
  50. >WOOSH
  51. >One slash drains all of the poor players HP
  52. >Let the bloodbath begin…
  53. ~~15 seconds later~~
  54. >Disappointment
  55. >No one could fathom the disappointment you felt right now
  56. >Not one tried to fight back
  57. >Some tried to run but some magic stopped them dead
  58. >Keyword dead
  59. >You sigh and go to pull the goggles off your head
  60. >Only to realize that they are stuck
  61. “What the hell?”
  62. >You pull harder
  63. >Nope
  64. >Suddenly, the game freezes, then the image is replaced by static
  65. >Flashing static
  66. >NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE
  67. >NO COMA TODAY
  68. >You desperately pull at the goggles
  69. >Oh god, your arms are going numb
  70. >You couldn’t be more terrified right now
  71. >So many people went into comas playing this game a few months ago
  72. “Please god, not me too!”
  73. >You feel a scream tear out your throat, but hear nothing
  74. >White…
  75. ~~~~~~~
  76. >Ever so slowly, you come to
  77. >What happened?
  78. >Wait…
  79. >No
  80. >No!
  81. >NO!
  82. >YOU WERE IN A CO…ma?
  83. >…What?
  84. >Instead of being a hospital room in the year 2060 like you expected you were outside lying in the grass
  85. >You get to your feet and look around
  86. >All around you are trees towering above you, covered in vines and moss
  87. >It’s also dark out, to the point that seeing beyond 10 feet or so is impossible
  88. >Welp, might want to start mov-
  89. *Clink*
  90. >Thud!
  91. “Ohhh.”
  92. >And of course, the first thing you do is faceplant like a pro
  93. ‘Hope nobody saw that…’
  94. >Rising and dusting yourself off you look at what tripped you
  95. >It’s…
  96. >Your World character’s scythe?
  97. >Picking the weapon up, you idly note that it weighs less than it should
  98. >Taller than you are and looking razor sharp, not a single detail out of place
  99. >Then you notice your attire
  100. >The same as your World character’s…
  101. >Without any warning, a sudden surge of autism overtakes you
  102. >Pointing your hand at a bush you shout the first this that comes to mind
  103. “Vak Kruz!”
  104. >Many basketball sized fireballs form around the hapless bush, before converging on it and exploding with the force of a crate full of grenades
  105. >The only thing you can do is stare dumbfounded
  106. >That had actually worked?
  107. >Just what the fuck is going on here?
  108. >Looking at the scythe in your hand you began to wonder…
  109. >You swing the weapon around into a nearby tree and watch as it cuts through the thick trunk with little effort
  110. >…
  111. >This couldn’t be a dream, could it?
  112. >A few more test spells and some destroyed landscape dash that thought
  113. >You find the volume of your voice controls the intensity of the spells
  114. >No, this is all too real
  115. >What about your physical power?
  116. >You walk up to a tree and grip its rough trunk
  117. >Ever so slowly, you apply more pressure to your grip
  118. >You watch in sick fascination as your fingers sink into the groaning wood with little resistance, fracturing bark and sending little splinters raining to the ground
  119. >You pull your hand free and look at it
  120. >Not a scratch
  121. >Is all this power?
  122. >Yours?
  123. >You can’t help it, you smile as a dry chuckle escapes you
  124. >The smile gets bigger and a few more chuckles are let out
  125. >Then, you have a grin, full laughs being released
  126. >Your grin gets so big that it hurts, your laughter growing loud with an unsettling tone creeping into it
  127. >This is perfect
  128. >No one could stop you
  129. >No more picking on Anon
  130. >No more shitty hands from life
  131. >Oh yes…
  132. >You are Anonymous, a gamer turned to force of nature
  133. >And you do whatever the hell you want
  134. >Calming down, you realize something
  135. >You have no idea where you are
  136. >Your mood killed abit by that fact, you grumble and pick a random direction before setting off at a leisurely pace
  137. ~~~~~~
  138. >It’s a normal night in P0nyville
  139. >The small amount of night life heading to clubs and bars
  140. >Some young fillies and colts out catching fireflies
  141. >And the remainder venturing home, to settle down for the night
  142. >So very peaceful
  143. >Twilight sighs in contentment from her spot on her balcony, yep, these are the nights she lives for
  144. >The unicorn turns back to her telescope
  145. >”Tonights so clear, a perfect time for some stargazing!”
  146. >Smiling to herself, Twilight turns her telescope to view a star cluster just right of the moon
  147. >She stops short however when she feels some rather powerful pulses of magic coming from the Everfree Forest
  148. >”What could that be?” she says with a frown
  149. >The pulses were too strong to be some random wildlife
  150. >Without warning an animalistic roar ripped through P0nyville
  151. >It was deep, guttural, and oh so loud
  152. >Twilight felt her heart begin to race
  153. >The only time she had heard something like that was when the Ursa Minor attacked town
  154. >That could only mean…
  155. >Oh Celestia no!
  156. >An Ursa Major!
  157. >Without even thinking she teleported down to the floor level of the library and raced out the door, leaving a very confused Spike sorting books
  158. >With speed she didn’t know she had, Twilight raced around town, assisted by teleports and gathered up her friends
  159. >”Darling, why are we out here in the middle of the night?” Rarity asked rather irritably, magicing her hair curlers out of her mane as she talked
  160. >”Yeah, did it have to do with that roar?” Rainbow Dash questioned, fluttering in place
  161. >”Exactly Rainbow, girls, I think we may have an Ursa Major on our hooves”
  162. >Everyone of them schooled their features into serious expressions sans Fluttershy who looked like she wanted anything to be away from here
  163. >”B-but Twilight! What if we get hurt?” Fluttershy asked, her voice quivering and no higher than a loud whisper
  164. >”No need to worry, the Princess said that if something like this were to ever happen she would send-“
  165. >A large carriage flies overhead, pulled by a team of bat-winged pegasi
  166. >It lands smoothly several yards away
  167. >Almost immediately a team of night guards bursts out of the carriage and into formation
  168. >A night pegasis leads the team to the Elements
  169. >”Officer Sunshine Smiles reporting” says the lead guard, giving the group a smart salute
  170. >”Hello Officer, you know why you were sent right?” questions Twilight
  171. >”Yes, a lar-!!!”
  172. >He’s cut off as a blinding white light floods the area, originating from deep in Everfree
  173. >A deafening bang and a shockwave follow shortly after making the group of p0nies scream as they are lifted off their hooves and thrown several feet
  174. >for a few minutes nop0ny moves, still too stunned and disoriented
  175. >Slowly, Twilight gets to her hooves, ears still ringing, to inspect just what had happened
  176. >All over P0nyville windows are broken, trees missing multitudes of leaves, other stunned but thankfully unharmed p0nies, and other things broken thanks to the blast
  177. >She turns her eyes to Everfree to see the sky glowing an ominous red and a huge cloud of smoke and debris slowly rising into the air
  178. >Twilight gulped, whatever that was, it wasn’t an Ursa
  179. >What could have possibly done that?
  180. >The power of the blast was cataclysmic, even so far away and it affected P0nyville
  181. >The unicorn shudders to think what it would be like if the town was the target instead…
  182. >She turns to see the others getting unsteadily to their feet
  183. >”Owww, that wasn’t very fun…” complains Pinkie while nursing a growing bruise in her side
  184. >The others murmur in agreement, moving tenderly as well thanks to the small wounds the fall from the blast had given them
  185. >”…Ah think we should still see whats goin’ on in there” Applejack mutters
  186. >”Girls, I think this has been taken out of our hooves” Twilight says as she spots several carriages and Celestia herself race towards P0nyville
  187. ~~~Earler, with you~~~          
  188. >You had been walking for awhile
  189. >The lack of light made it a bitch
  190. >You sigh and keep walking, thinking about finding somewhere to sleep the night out
  191. >Just as you finish the thought you arrive in a clearing leading to a gargantuan cave
  192. >Jackpot
  193. >A ground shaking roar sounds as you walk in
  194. >Shit
  195. >You look up at the towering beast that confronted you before you could go deeper into the cave
  196. >Its huge, 70 feet up at the shoulder at least, with sword size teeth and claws to match
  197. >It resembles a bear mostly, only purple and slightly translucent
  198. >And it looked none too happy that you just wondered onto it's cave
  199. "What the fuck are you looking at?"
  200. >The bear brings its head down to look at you better while growling
  201. >Without a second thought you slash it across the nose with your scythe
  202. >It rears back, surprised and in pain, before growling more and releasing a bone rattling roar
  203. >You actually feel your bones rattle
  204. "What? You think you can take me?"
  205. >A small flame flickers to life in your unoccupied hand
  206. "We'll see about that"
  207. >A maniacal look comes to your face, wide eyes, face splitting grin and all
  208. >You lift your hand
  209. "PhaVak Kruz!"
  210. >Multiple huge, white colored orbs of flame burst into life around the surprised bear
  211. >They burn so hot that just being near the cave walls is turning the rock an angry red
  212. >The bear, now realizing that you are more dangerous than you appear gives you a pleading look before glancing back
  213. >You look too
  214. >Near the back of the cave is a smaller, blue bear watching the proceedings fearfully
  215. >From its smaller size it must be a baby of child of some sort
  216. >So the large one must be its mother…
  217. >You smile and lower your open hand some
  218. >The pleading look turns into one of gratitude
  219. >Suddenly you jerk your hand back up
  220. “Just fucking with ya”
  221. >The open hand clenches shut
  222. >The fireballs all converge onto the purple behemoth with frightening speed and explode
  223. >It’s a good thing World spells can’t hit their own caster, or you would have just killed yourself
  224. >The blast is huge, nothing short of a bunker buster or better could have topped it
  225. >You have to drive your scythe into the ground to keep from being blown away
  226. >Once the blast is over you look in awe at what is left
  227. >Bits and pieces of charred flesh litter the ground, not one bigger than your fist
  228. >The whole cave is gone, blown to kingdom come, the floor of it isn’t even a floor now, it’s a pit of lava
  229. >You look at your hand and smile a very unsettling smile
  230. >You are Anonymous
  231. >And you are going to have a lot of fun with these powers
  232. ~~~~~
  233. >”So, any leads?”
  234. >The lieutenant sighs and looks over at the rookie officer; there had been reports of screaming in this apartment a few hours ago
  235. >The occupant, one Anonymous had gone missing
  236. >But there are no leads on where he had gone
  237. >A sweep of the area and a background check had brought up no clues
  238. >He had no enemies
  239. >No friends
  240. >Little family
  241. >If this was an abduction, then whoever did it must have been masterful
  242. >”Lieutenant! I found something!” an officer says as he emerges from the bed room
  243. >”What is it?”
  244. >The nameless officer places a small book and an empty pill bottle on the table
  245. >”What have you got?” asks the lieutenant, now fully alert
  246. >”Well sir, this book is apparently Anonymous’s diary, in it he goes on and on about that World game and about how expensive his pills are.”
  247. >”And those are related how?”
  248. >”Well sir…” the officer gulps “It says in here that with the game, he doesn’t need his pills”
  249. >”How?”
  250. >”Because sir, apparently…”
  251. >”Apparently?”
  252. >”Apparently he plays The World to satisfy his psychosis…”
