Chapter 1: Saved
When my eyes opened, I saw Notch standing there.
"I'm dead, right?" I asked.
"No." Notch replied.
He slapped me across the face.
I looked around.
We were still in the nether.
"I defeated the pigmen." Notch said.
"Let's make a temporary base."
I started gathering the red stones.
"What is this stuff?" I asked.
"Netherrack." He replied.
"If lit, it burns forever."
"Are we going to build a house out of it?" I asked.
"Yes." Notch said.
We built a miniature fortress.
After an hour, it began to look like a castle.
"We are probably going to stay here for a while." Notch said.
"So be prepared."
I finished lighting the last Netherrack and sat down.
"Netherrack looks nice!" I said.
"Not really." said Notch.
"I am going back to the real world to craft some dispensers."
I watched Notch re-enter the portal that we came from.
"What am I going to do without you?" I asked.
He was already gone.
I walked back to the base and sat on a brown block.
I tried to get up.
I was stuck.
"What is this?" I yelled.
A ghost shot a fireball from the sky.
I had to act fast, but I was stuck.
I pulled out my bow and arrow, and shot at the ghost.
It seemed that the arrows just phased through it.
I pulled myself free and fired another volley of shots.
No luck.
I grabbed an axe and chucked it at the ghost.
The ghost easily dodged it.
I had to hit it from close range.
I grabbed a fishing rod from my bag.
I caught the ghost in its tracks.
I reeled it in but it shot a fireball at me.
I lost my grip and fled into a cave.
I tripped and fell down a dark passage.
