The sound of an alarm clock ringing to my ears make me groan, opening my eyes groggily as I squint my eyes at the clock on the dresser beside my bed. I sigh slightly as I pull my hand out of the blanket and reaches to the clock, pressing the snooze button to calm the alarm. Still feeling groggy, I sit up slowly, making the blanket slide down from my body and stretches my arms and yawns softly.

"Well, another day of work…" I muttered under my breath, followed with a sigh as I look at the clock and it reads 6:25 am, which is the time I sometimes or usually woke up early. "Hmmm… better get to it..." I slide my legs out and gets off the bed, giving myself another stretch before going to the door and to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

Maybe some introduction would be nice, my name is Janon Morrison. Odd name isn't it? Anyway, I am just your average kind of guy and 20 years old with a blue eye, black hair and a tan skin. I have been living with myself at my home after my parents decide to let me be on my own to which I will agree cuz' I'm not some kid anymore. From then on, I got a job to work and earn some money and had this house since then. Life goes on for me as I go on to my daily routine. Ohh, and I did practice parkour, even combat experiences so I can defend myself. Been watching a lot of action movie to observe their moves and such and I am improving well.

Now, here I am, getting myself some coffee and a sandwich to enjoy. Munching the sandwich, I look outside through the window to see a lot of people going on and on the street. I finish my sandwich and drink my coffee as I savour the taste of it. Looking at the clock to see its 6:39 am, I hum a bit as I finish my coffee and take the dishes and mug into the basin to wash them.

"I better take a shower." I wash the plate and mug, humming a soft tune. Finishing them, I shook my hands to reduce the water and place the plate and mug to the dish rack then go to the bathroom to have a nice bath.

Minutes of showering and drying myself, I wore my white undershirt, cyan jeans and a blue hoodie as I walk out of my house, locking the door and puts my key with chain into my pocket and take a deep breath then let it all out.

"Alright, time to get to work." Smirking, I run to the fence and jump over it before turning to the right as I go through the streets. Years of doing and practicing parkour when I was teen, I manage to avoid the obstacles around me and uses some other edge for me to climb and jump onto another path of it. I focus on my way to the store before I am late to work. After some running and parkouring, I see my destination as I smirk again. Skidding to a halt in front of the door, I enter the store and said a simple word.

"Present."

The store owner and his 2 employees look at me as my boss chuckles with a smile.

"Heh, you are right on time as usual I see," He said to me as he leans his arm on the counter. "Going on your routine like you always do?"

I chuckle at his question and nods with a smile. "You bet." I answered, seems like the owner knows me well.

The two employees (male and female) both smiles at me as I look at them and gives them a friendly wave, which they return it.

"Okay, time to work everyone." The store owner, which has a name tag on his chest pocket as it reads 'Jones', said with a clap of his hands as we nod. Later, the store opens as this will go well.

It's been hours of working in the Game Store as it is now noon. Jones gave us our pay for the day as me, he and the 2 employees (Stanley and Maria) say our goodbyes and we go on our way. As I walk to the streets, I sigh quietly with my hands in my jean's pocket and ponders about my life. A lot or some peoples look at me like some outcast and I just ignore that. Is it because of how I do? Act? It's just their opinions but the ones in the Game Store got my back when that happen. I'm having some hard times to deal with it as I keep my cool.

While I am on my way, I stopped when I see someone in front of me, a bit distance away. I blink as I arched an eyebrow, observing the stranger as he seems to be wearing a ragged sweater, even his grey pants and has a shaggy hair. He seems to be not having a bath as I could smell the stench from just that.

"Hello there," He greets me in a raspy voice, making me look wary. "You seem to be something… for the good…" Huh...?

"Ermmm… what are you talking about?" I blink at what he just said.

He hums a bit as he adjusts his sweater a little. "You… got some potential… in you, boy…" He gave me a mysterious smile. "Something for… the greatness…" Okay… this guy is totally not making any sense…

I scratch the back of my head, raising a brow at the beggar. "I don't get it…" I start as I stare at him. "For the greatness? What the heck was that supposed to mean...?"

He chuckles quietly, stroking his shaggy hair. "You… will figure… it out…" He then reaches something under his sweater, making me go in my fighting stance as I ready myself for his attack to which he notices this. "Ohohoh… don't worry…, it's not what you think…" He then pulls out what's revealed to be a book. What...?

I relax my stance as I look at the book in his hand and at him. "A book?" I said questioningly. "What for?"

He set the book down and kicks it, making it slide to the inch of my feet. "You will learn… something far… from that... book…" He takes a deep breath and sigh softly. "Like I say, you will figure it out…"

I look down at the book, which has no title and the cover is a bit plain, humming a bit as I ponder of taking it. "But… I need to know what- "As I look up from the book, I notice he is no longer there. "What the… mister? Hello?" I look around if he is somewhere but he is nowhere to be seen. Man… did that guy just… disappear? That can't be right…

Shaking my head, I look back down at the book in front of my feet and ponder about taking it, also thinking about what that mysterious man has said to me. Darn it… thinking about it and that just gives me a headache and I don't want to stand around and get myself beat up from a gang that can roams around an alley or streets. Finishing my thoughts, I crouch down and pick the book up then stood up as I head home with the item in my hand.

"Can this one day be any more… weird or… mysterious…?" I asked myself as I observe the book in my hand, like I say, plain and no background cover or title. "'For the greatness'? I wonder what he is saying…"

Minutes of walking, I walk into my home and close the door, locking it. My head is filled with thoughts about the lone stranger in the street and the book he gave me. I rub my temple a bit, groaning as I walk to the couch and sits down, placing the plain cover book on the coffee table.

"Now…" I start as I stare at the book, resting my arms on both of my thighs as I think of reading the content. "I don't know if I can trust him…" Not many people would believe some superstitions since I have seen a beggar in the street disappear after I stare down at the book and look up again. I scratch my head in frustration as it seems to not make any sense.

"Okay… just a peek wouldn't hurt…" Taking a deep breath, I reach for the front cover and slowly flip it as I look at the first page… which is blank. "Really?" I am looking at it in disbelief as I flip another page which is also blank, making me flip more pages which are all blank. "I am just wasting my time over this? Did that guy just prank me?" I growl, once I meet that guy again, I would beat him to a pulp. Calming myself with a sigh, looking back at the blank content of the page and shakes my head, such a waste of my time…

Before I could close the book, the pages start to glow. "W-what in the…" I pull my hand away as I lean back, watching as the book glows bright. What is this book?! Just as I continue on with my thoughts, I am blinded with a white flash as I scream and cover my eyes then soon… I can feel my consciousness fade…

The sound of bird chirping makes me groan in discomfort from passing out. I feel a bit weak but I managed to open my eyes slowly, my vision is blurred as I blink my eyes to clear it. Once my vision is cleared, I see a dirt ground with an oblivion nearby and trees.

"What… the… heck...?" I don't remember passing out in some forest or open fields as I lift my head up to look around weakly and sure enough, I am in some sort of forest. "H-How did I… get here…?"

I place my hand on the ground, grunting as I struggle to stand up. That is before I realize something about the book and the white flash. "Geez… what did that guy… just gave me...?" I sigh as I place my hand on my head to rub it.

Something is… odd as I rub my head, my hand feels hard and I feel like I have no fingers… I hover my hand in front of me and… see it's… instead of hand, I see hoof.

I blink a few times at what I am seeing and want to not believe what I just saw but it still a hoof, not hand. "Ohhh… my god…" That is when I look at my arm which is covered with white fur. Panicking a little, I stood on my legs but I fall on the ground. "Oof!" I grunt as I lift myself up and looks down to look at my legs but… same with my feet, they're hooves.

"W-what am I.!?" I look around quickly before I saw a lake nearby. I stagger towards the lake and looks at it to see my reflection. Instead of me I am seeing in that reflection, I am seeing a horse reflection.

"Ahhhh! What the fudge is going on!?" I back away from the water as I look at myself to see I am in some horse body and I still have my blue hoodie on and I am no longer wearing jeans. "W-Why am I a horse!?" I yell loudly as I panic.

'Calm… down… Janon…' A voice said in my head which makes me stop panicking and tense. That voice… it sounds familiar. 'Panicking isn't going to… help you, you know?' I hear him chuckling in my head.

"Okay man, can you explain to me… why I am like this!?" I shout at him in my mind, gesturing at myself. "And tell me a good reason… to that...!"

I could hear him sigh. 'I said calm… and I'll explain…' I take a deep breath and sigh. 'That's good… now… remember that book I gave you...?' I nod, remembering it well. 'That… book is behind you…'

I look behind me over my shoulder and sure to his word, the same book which sent me here is there. "Okay, that is the one that sent me here…" I stood up but on all four, which is really awkward as I walk to it, baby steps that is and carefully to not fall again and sits down on my butt… or is it flank? And looks at the book. "This is getting any weirder…"

'Heh, soon it will not… look…' I look at the book as the front cover blurs and it cleared to see a text, whoa… it reads, Equestrian Guidance.

"Wow… it now has a text…" I stare at it in awe, my fear and doubts fade away and replace with curiosity.

'Indeed, this one will be your guide in the world you are in.' the voice said, which makes me wonder about the last part.

"And… where am I?" I glance around, the forest looks a bit… cartoony-like but it's really a little peaceful as I could hear the sound of nature.

I received a chuckle in response before saying. 'You are in the world of Equestria,' Equestria...? That name sounds like coming from a fantasy story… 'This world is filled with magic-' Magic? Seriously? '-and many wonders of the mind. This place also contains creatures, sentient ones are ponies like you in a different species; An Earth Pony, which is you are right now, a Pegasus, a Unicorn and the last is an Alicorn.'

"Alicorn?" I never heard that one, I only know that a Unicorn and a Pegasus are a breed of horse coming from a myth.

'An Alicorn is the combination of all the pony species,' He explain in my head, did he mean combination of an Earth Pony, Unicorn and Pegasus. I would imagine what it would look like. The voice continues on. 'There are other sentient creatures such as Griffons, Minotaur, Dragons, Zebras and many more where they are in different nations.'

"Whoa… all those comes from a myth…" I said in disbelief and amazement at such creatures would exist in this world.

'I would… like to explain more… but…' The voice spoke as I could feel him slowly fade in my head. 'I don't… think I have much… time left…'

"W-wait… you're leaving...?" I frown in concern and worry that I need to know about the rest before I could handle the situation when it happens…

'I'm sorry… my communication seems weaken... but don't worry… that book you have… will guide you… along the way… although… the Equestrian history… will be found someplace in the map at… last page…' I could feel him fade as I feel reassured a little. 'Good luck… and don't worry about… when your parents… decide to call you or… search for you… I'll handle that…' Soon, he's gone from my head.

"S-sir...!? What will you tell them...!?" I grit my teeth in my as I look up at the sky but… I could feel he is gone… "Ughh…" I look down in sadness and concern of how my parents would react if I am gone… wonder what that man would say to them…

I shake my head as I could feel tears fall from my eyes, which I wipe it with my ha- I mean hoof and looks at the book, humming in thoughts. "Hmmm… guess I have no choice but to trust him…" I sigh deeply as I stood up on my legs and pick the book with my mouth. Ughh… this will need some getting used to but hey, I'm a bit open-minded.

I see an empty cave at the distance behind the water fall as I run or gallop but baby steps so I wouldn't fall on the ground with the book in my mouth. Once I am in, I look outside through the water of the waterfall before observing the place in the cave and walks to the corner and sits down, putting the book down in front of me.

"Well… let's get some studying," I open the book with my hoof, geez, this will take some getting used to… I then look at the first page which reads, Role Class. Huh? Guess he forgot to mention this. I start to read the contents of it. "The Role Class is available to any creatures that has some 'Potentials' in them as they would be chosen to this." Hmmm… it looks familiar… but where? Anyway, I continue reading. "The Role Class are Ninja, Combatant, Mage and Ranger." Well… this could get interesting…
