What Are The Odds?
“Fuck-*HIC*-ing hell…”
I muttered to myself. I had just come home from a day at the casino. I had come in with 5 dollars as spending money, and almost left with 50000 if not for the casino invalidating my win due to “Dealers Mistake”...
I grabbed my necklace and pulled it off. It was a dice, a D20 to be exact, from my late grandfather, who had died yesterday. With solid black iron body, and numbers carved into it in a fancy font
“I Wonder how much I can pawn this off for…” I mumble to myself absentmindedly, before taking a swig from the bottle in my right hand and laying on the home couch
I had sat on the remote and turned on the tv by accident. Turns out that there was a kids show on… who airs a kids show this late at night!?
“It would *HIC* be nii~ce to live in a cartoon world… no taxes, no violence, no worries…” As i talked to myself, the idea seemed to grow more and more appealing, i then mutter something to myself
“Norm-*HIC*-ally, heirlooms are super secret treasures that awaken into systems after conditions are met… well, in cultivation novels at least” i say without thinking, as i begin to smirk to myself
“If i get a 20, then i get to go to that weird cartoon pony world” I say to myself, before throwing the dice onto the table in front of me…
“20? Nice" I say to myself. My luck is usually so shitty, but that was nice… if only I could use this a few hours ago…
I kept staring at the dice, waiting for something to happen. I take a swig of my booze
“Should have expected thi-” i get interrupted by a flash of blue light, as i look down at the dice and see it beaming with a strange ethereal glow… before passing out
“Ughh…. My fucking head, how much did i drink last night?” i say to absolutely no one, habitually reaching for my glasses on my bedside table… before feeling something brush up against my arm as i move it
“Grass?” i say
“Where the fuck am i?” i realise that my eyes are crystal clear, and putting a hand up to my face, i realise i slept with my glasses on… and without changing into more comfortable clothes, so im still stuck with a suit on
I look at my hand… or rather hoof now and begin to freak out a little, before calming down and trying to think through this naturally…
I try to recall anything about everything that happened yesterday
And slowly, i start to piece together the parts
“I got isekai'd? Into that kids horse show?” I felt a rush of unparalleled relief wash over me
A world as comfortable as one that kids are meant to watch and observe, can't possibly be violent, so im safe… I think… I mean, why would anyone allow something violent on air for kids to watch, right?!
“Anyway, so im a horse now, how very… ahh whatever, shouldn't i have a system or someth-”
*BLIP*
I hear a blipping sound, much like the sound arriving from a phone notification
I look at the light blue panel that Just entered My vision

“Wow… how pitiful…”
I try getting up awkwardly
“Well this isn't that hard…” I said to myself. Well horses are born with the ability to walk, so it makes sense if I have the brain of the horse I should be able to instinctually walk, or rather, it's helping me learn to walk. Or at least that's what i assume, because then it wouldn't make sense how easy it is to walk
“Why does everything look fucking giant?” I say, walking forward aimlessly
The trees were massive around me, and the grass was so long it reached my knees… do horses have knees?
“growl” I hear a snarl from behind me, and looky there, i spot a wolf…
Wait a wolf?
The wolf figure walked out from the shade of the trees and into my field of vision, as i see that it was made of… wood? Okay, thats not very normal
Maybe I should've watched the show BEFORE accidentally wishing myself into it…
I’ll do more research next time I get isekai’d via magical family heirloom
“Uhh… good doggy?” i say, before it leaps forwards towards me
I felt time stop
Not figuratively, literally
The world greyed as i stared at myself from a third person perspective
I was a horse… wait a second, i don't really look like the horses from the show, my proportions were off slightly and i was overall much smaller…
“weird…”
I examine myself. My face looked oddly human for a horse, and surprisingly… feminine? Did I get genderbent? How many more cliches will there be? Anyway. I had long black hair mane with an orange tint, and a light pastel purple coat. As well as a marking on my ass.
“D20?”
It was the same D20 that sent me here… it was currently facing upward with 1
I could see my ass because my clothes were currently too big for my body, and had almost fallen off…
The white dress shirt i had on also fit loosely… it looked kinda cute though to be honest
Thankfully, my glasses still fit nicely on my face
Looking over to the panel, I begin to read
[Dodge “Timberwolf” Strike? Stat Used: Reflex. Need 12< ]
A phrase entered my mind that i instinctively understood as some form of activation command…
“...Roll for Reflex?”
[D20+0]
A dice appeared in front of me, looking exactly like the one on my ass… and it floated in the air, rolling
[14]
I felt time resume as my vision returned to first person, and I rolled out of the way. I stared at the ground that had come into contact with the Timberwolf's claw…
And then i booked it
What, you thought I was going to stay there and fight? I barely understand how this system works, I can't possibly use it to my advantage in this situation!
Time stopped again
[Run from “Timberwolf”? Stat Used: Speed. Need 15< ]
“Roll for Speed” I Say instantly, i've begun to understand this system a bit…
[D20+0]
The dice began to roll.
[CRITICAL HIT! NAT 20]
My pants had completely flung of my body at this point, only my crinkly, oversized, white dress shirt helping cover me, as i ran with all my might
Each step seemed to flow into the next fluidly, as if it was rehearsed millions, no, billions of times
I seemed to run at a speed completely impossible for me naturally
I kept running and running and running, and before i knew it, I was out of the forest, but because i wasn't looking where i was going, i tripped on a rock on the ground and knocked myself out
Yeah, not my proudest moment
Time stopped yet again
[Stay Conscious? Stat Used: Willpower. Need 13< ]
“Roll for Willpower” spouting the activation phrase
[D20+0]
Its only a 13, right? Easy roll
[CRITICAL MISS! NAT 1!]
Fu-
