And he and a few select kids are the only ones that can stop it.

Prologue

The night sky was clear as I readied my bow. The enemies below couldn't see me as well as I could see them, and I was fully prepared to use that to my advantage. Aiming at the least armored individual; a young woman with shoulder-length red hair clothed in leather armor. I bit back a chuckle. This would be too easy.

I let the Arrow of Poison fly, and it struck clean and true. She was probably more beat up than I thought, because she evaporated into ash before she even hit the ground, dead. I decided not to move from my position in the leaves of the birch tree while my enemies, clearly frantic now, started setting up walls of dirt and torches.

I decided to humor them for a while and let them stew in their fear for a full minute before acting. My enchanted diamond armor's purple magical flare was hidden by the invisibility potion I had drunk beforehand, reminding me that I didn't even need to hide. With a drop cushioned by the leg strength my Potion of Leaping had given me, I began my attack.

Some unwitting guy in iron armor and holding an enchanted diamond sword- how he had that I still do not know- waltzed right under my tree, probably intending to cut it down for resources. My downward slash with my diamond sword of sharpness nearly killed him; his helmet was trashed, and I could've sworn I just saw a cut on his head flash before disappearing, the pain being distributed all over his body as that dull red glow. He blindly started spinning around while slashing and hacking, and I quickly withdrew and notched an Arrow of Decay in. He should probably feel honored. It was pretty hard to make these, and right now I needed him to die before he alerted other members of his group-

CRAP!

I barely danced out of the way of a volley of arrows that utterly decimated the guy I was fighting, which made his stuff drop as loot, which I also had to shy away from. My attraction to the items of my enemy would give out my position, so I took a Potion of Swiftness from my inventory, downed it and began my slaughter.

A few minutes and a short chase later, I had reached the cave where these noobs had made their base. Surprisingly, there was a Nether Portal there! What was even weirder was the fact that it was coated in Bedrock; the hardest material known to Mankind. The bottom of the Overworld was covered in the stuff, as is the top of the Netherworld.

But it cannot be mined.

Passing it off as one of the Gods opening up another one of their portals to explore the worlds, I crept closer to the last of them; he was obviously the smartest or strongest of them; he was decked in diamond armor like me, and his diamond axe glowed with enchantment. His horse, a fine chestnut colored specimen, whinnied softly after the hard galloping while bearing its heavy diamond armor as well as its rider without a single sign of strain. It made me quite hungry to have run all the way here, even with the speed boost. While I was busy taking a good look at my adversary and chewing on a loaf of bread I brought along with me, I made a mistake that would change my life forever; I forgot to time how long my invisibility was to last.

With a surge of invisibility I faded into existence, right in front of the dude, whose facial expression was impossible to read behind that diamond helmet; same as mine, probably. Disbelief. Wonder. Realization. Steeliness.

I swung my sword hard against his axe, making sparks fly and shards of diamond fall on the floor. I ran and jumped high in the air to clear another strike before I knocked him off his horse with a well placed hit. The horse just neighed and backed off into a corner, waiting mindlessly for its master to mount it again. We traded a few blows but when I slammed him with my sword before running at him, I fell into a quickly made pothole. I looked back at my enemy to see him honeycombing the ground frantically while backing out the cave. I growled internally and let lose an Arrow of Poison at him, nailing him just as he turned to run, but then I jumped back to get better strafing space in case he fired back…

…And fell into the portal…
