There are many things a person can forget in their life and most of the time the person them self doesn't even know they forgot something. Now there are exceptions to this where someone remembers something vaguely and that memory is on the tip of their tongue but they can't reach it. But one thing that someone should never forget is their own name. Sadly that was the case I was in as I sat against a tree looking at the flickering flames of a fire as I recalled how I had lost my name and ended up where I was currently at.
~Flashback One Week Ago~
One moment I was in my house laying down on my bed and within the next moment a searing blinding light had filled my vision. As I tried to figure out what was wrong with my eyes I felt my body shifting as an immense pain soon followed as my body felt like it was being torn down and then reconstructed. Eventually the pain faded and along with it so had the blinding light.
The first thing I was greeted with as my vision returned was seeing that I was in some sort of glass tube and nearby so were other people. I had a moment of panic as I wondered why I was here and how before I calmed down and tried to assess the situation I was in. As far as I could see there was hundreds of people in tubes and I had a feeling that the amount I could see was only but a fraction. The second thing I noticed was everything besides the people seemed sort of blocky from the stone floor to the walls as there was no ceiling most annoying part was how the block like room seemed oddly familiar until I remembered where I had seen this from.
Before I could think anymore a loud boom echoed through the air and with that noise a giant floating figure appeared that I instantly recognized. The blue jean, with the lighter blue shirt, and those pure white eyes were dead giveaways to who this figure was and I felt a wave of fear and oddly excitement rush through me as I gazed at him.
"Greetings mortals." His voice boomed out. "I am Herobrine and I am sure all of you are wondering what happened to you so I have come to explain. You are currently trapped in Minecraft and for those of you who don't know what that is then you're out of luck. I am an entity like being of Minecraft and I enjoy to see people suffer and that is where you come in. I have kidnapped you all from your homes and families for one sole purpose and that is a bloody deathmatch.
"Deathmatch?" I muttered to myself. If that meant what I thought it was then we were basically screwed and the worst part was that I was oddly excited by this. I began to wonder why I had no heard outrage shouts from the other people that were nearby before I looked up and saw that the tubes we were in were blocked off no doubt acting as a noise canceler.
"The deathmatch will only end when one person remains and only that one person will leave. Now since I am the evil being I am I have also decided to take one precious memory from each of you and the only way to regain that is to kill at least another ten players." I immediately began to rack my memory trying to find a clue to what I had forgotten eventually fed up with it and thought 'Come on think _ think!' As I thought that I realized that I had forgotten my own name.
"There are currently sixty-thousand of you trapped in Minecraft and only one can get out." Those words regained my attention and I felt fear rise in me but still the excitement from earlier continued to rise. "Out of all of the people here only one-hundred have played Minecraft so if you find one your either saved or screwed." I smirked as he said this since if there was only one-hundred people with experience then I would have a a better chance. "You will now be teleported to the surface with a distance of ten-thousand blocks between you and the nearest players. Remember the only way to escape is to kill."
~Flashback End~
It had been a week since that happened and from the moment I got teleported to the surface I went to work. I had the luck to be spawned in a snow biome which happened to be my favorite so that saved me the time finding one. I had immediately rushed over to a tree not caring about anything else as I slammed my fist into the tree. In hindsight I should have seen the pain coming as I clutched my pain riddled fist as I let out a string of curses. I looked at the tree and wondered just how I would get the needed wood before I looked up and saw the nighttime sky.
Now any rational person with half a brain would be panicking at this but I just grew a grin as I came up with a plan. And luckily the local wildlife seemed to want to cooperate as a creeper sneaked up behind me. After almost being blown up three times I finally got the stupid green mob in-between a set of closely packed trees which started the second and hardest part of the plan, I had to somehow make the creeper explode and not die in the process. Deciding to risk it all I had rushed forwards and jumped the way as the creeper expanded and reached its peak. The explosion that followed was deafening and while the blast radius was small the shock wave was not as it launched me at least ten blocks away.
Luckily the explosion had not broken any of my bones but I knew I was going to feel this in the morning. I struggled my war forward and was satisfied to see that I had around half a dozen wooden blocks floating on the ground. I picked them up as I realized that I had no idea how to craft. Usually if I wanted to do it I would pull up the interface but this wasn't a game any more. I had noticed the absence of a HUD in front of me as I couldn't see my hunger or health. I figured I could tell myself if I was in pain or hungry but what annoyed me was that I was unsure if I had a inventory.
I stood there looking like an idiot as I held one of the small wooden pine logs in my hand as I wondered what to do. I had the sudden urge to crush the block in my hand so I did. I was pleasantly surprised to see that when I opened my hand and saw that the logs had turned into planks. I grinned as I squeezed the four planks again and watched as they turned into a crafting table and from that moment I knew I would beat this game.
During the week that had passed I had managed to secure multiples chests full of wood and cobble and I also had a decent supply of coal which was currently fueling around twenty furnaces. I had yet to build my house due to the fact that the one I wanted to build was going to need a couple thousand stone bricks which was why I had my current furnaces. It was a boring process watching the cobblestone smelt so I had decided to relax for a bit as I thought about the most random things.
While I couldn't remember my name I still remembered clearly everything else about myself and those memories actually made me glad I had gotten selected for this deathmatch. I had a dull boring life with few entertaining moments but now I was stuck in one of my favorite games. Sure I was scared by the fact slightly and I was scared at the fault of killing others but I was still happy I was here.
The sound of the soft grass being walked upon hit my hears as I stood up and brought a stone sword out. I knew whatever it was a enemy mob as I had slain all the nearby peaceful ones earlier to get a surplus amount of food. I readied myself as I scanned the treeline looking for the enemy before I saw a flash of white. This unnerved me as skeletons were more grey than white but I just shrugged and played it off as a trick to the eyes. I now readied my sword in a defensive stance to block any incoming arrows that were more than likely about to fly towards me. Another flash of white caught my attention and I decided to rush forward as it was better to play offensive against a skeleton.
I burst from the treeline and tackled the enemy but that all seemed like a blur to me as I held my sword above it's neck. And that was when I realized what I had tackled had a neck. My eyes widened as I looked down at what I had tackled and saw that instead of tackling a skeleton like I thought I had, I had instead tackled another player who was staring at me with fear.
So I hope you liked the first chapter to this! Not sure if I should continue this or just delete it as this just came up in my mind one day so I decided to write it. But if you do want me to continue please leave a review as they fuel my energy to give a crap about writing.
