Monday
The guards were rough, I got pushed around by a bunch of guards in SWAT gear and SCAR-Ls, I was with a group of six other kids I barely even know. Why was I even here again? We were all handcuffed in a briefing room sitting in front of the roughest seargent i've ever seen. "You young men may have made some bad mistakes in life" said the seargent. "Fortunately you are all being given a second chance" he said. "A world needs your help urgently, and if nobody stops it, it will surely lead to our doom. He unbound us and lead us to a teleportation pad. "Any questions before I send you on your adventure?" he asked. Nobody had anything to say so he flipped the switch and sent us to another world.
I'm Steven, but you can call me Steve for short. I'm a 13 year old kid who loves video games and basket ball. I was busted for taking an X-Box from a micro store and I have been in Juvie for a month or so. I was happy to finally leave my cramped juvie cell but i'd do anything to go back because I am not prepared for what is going to happen!
We were teleported into a world made entirely of blocks, Minecraft. We've all talked about it before, being trapped in Minecraft, but this is actually real. I'm here with six kids, Kaelab, Colbalt, Logan, Michael, Jonah, and Aria. We were lost in a forest for the first night, so we did the usual; punch some trees, get some coal, construct a shelter, but it was WAY harder than it was to do in the game. Things were alright but then it was bad when things started getting dark. A ton and I mean a TON of zombies and skeletons started swarming us, and we did the best we could to fight them off with stone tools but it was no use. We decided to book it and hide in a basement of an abandoned house. I found a chest with an iron swords and some beef jerky; an item we didn't have in the game. We all ate some because we were pretty hungry and exhausted from fighting. We spent an uncomfortable night huddled in a damp corner.
Tuesday
The next morning we made our way out. I had an iron sword and a piece of jerky. The rest had only stone tools. We found a very beat up mossy cobble road, and an abandoned forge with 36 iron ingots, a godsend since we had no other gear. We all made armor and weapons so we won't get clobbered at first sight. We walked along the road and talked about stuff, about how we found beef jerky even though there was none in the game, about plans for the night, and about why does this place need our help, Zombie apocalypse? War? Herobrine?
We stopped for the night at an abandoned log cabin, It must've been a sweet place at one point. There was a watchtower, a derelict farm with wheat which we harvested from, and a basement which we went to spend the night in. There were actually 7 beds in there and a bow and a book I can write in (I am writing in it right now!) I didn't feel like sleeping on the floor again. We ate our dinner of bread and the last of our jerky and went to sleep. There were no mobs tonight.
Wednesday
The next morning we were up. Kaelab and Logan were talking about why this world needs help, they deduced that there was once people who lived here, and the reason this place is so empty is the reason we all need help. They don't know anything else. There were no mobs at night, but we were charged by the fastest zombies ever. I stabbed one in the stomach while it was doing a running jump and it died instantly. Kaelab shot one in the head, he was a good shot because he shot the school, so we decided he got to have the bow. I then beheaded a zombie wielding an enchanted iron sword, Sharpness II and Unbreaking III and in great condition. We were all swarmed until we got hit by a healing potion. A young man riding an incredibly fast horse threw it killing most of the zombies. His soldiers finished them off.
"Thanks a lot" i said in graditude. The soldier said not to worry. "I am the commander of the Legion of Valkyria, Commander Zach." "Get on my horse and ask questions later." Zach grabbed me and took me on his horse, we went fast. I asked him "Why does this world need help". He answered with a smirk, "Well, it's a long story but i'll tell you if you want it." "We are struggling to survive out here, the mob attacks have been bad lately. We are against the forces of Herobrine who is seeking world domination" At the world "Herobrine" I perkedup. Herobrine?! Are you serious?!
Oh yes, I've cut him in the face a month ago, he fled. He's really powerful. "Well no shit!" I said out loud. Zach went on to explain everything we needed to know, how this world has more advanced items, foods, enchantments, and monsters than the original game. He also explained that when you died here you die in real life, this is real life but just another world. He also explained some of the monsters, Jumpers which are the fast charging zombies that dealt slightly less damage than real zombies, Mega creepers which can devastate a whole town in an explosion, Archidons which are skeletons clothed in Adurite armor, an exceedingly hard metal, with obsidian tipped arrows so sharp, that one can easily take care of a platoon of soldiers.
After a couple hours on horseback we arrived at Anatolia, a fortified walled city, the military headquarters of the Valkyrian Empire. We were lead to the inn. "This is where you will be staying for now, you will be building a house for all seven of you tommorow". We ate dinner in the dining hall and went to our room to talk for a bit. "You know this place isn't so bad, Anatolia is actually nice, said Aria". Mike chimed in, "Anatolia must be the target of plenty of attacks, you see those walls and soldiers?! They must b... BOOM"
At this moment there was an explosion, We went out to the wall to investigate. There were ranks of jumpers who we easily killed. Their running jumps made it possible to put your blade out and let them ram themselves into it. Zach lead the elite squadron out to attack. He used an extremely large sword and cut through swathes of zombies, I may ask him what he is using. I cut down a zombie and he dropped an obsidian sword. It was actually just a bit stronger than diamond and slower, but had 10,000 durability, roughly 6 times of diamond. I charged into battle dual-wielding my enchanted iron sword and my obsidian sword and did short work of the zombies. At the end of the night I laid out the spoils of war in front of me; An obsidian helmet, a Malachite pickaxe, Obsidian tipped arrows, 15 emeralds, 2 diamonds, and an Archidon bow. The rest of us got some pretty sweet gear too, Colbalt killed an archidon and is now wearing its adurite armor and wielding its bow, Aria has a Stun Baton, a scabbard which stuns the enemy when struct. Logan has enough diamonds to craft himself a full set of diamond armor, and some for us. and Colbalt has an interesting item, an end pendant which increases strength and speed.
Zach came in and told us that all our items we gathered are actually pretty low tier. Diamond is actually very weak in this world, and Anatolia has much better materials to work with; Redsteel, Bluesteel, Endersteel, Arkenium, Malachite. And Valkyria isn't even the most powerful nation in Gaeodia(the name of the world), There are even more powerful nations across the ocean which we have not come in contact with yet. We were all shocked at this information. I almost forgot to ask him; "What is that sword you're using?". "This, is my black endersteel megasword enchanted with Sharpness V and Unbreaking IV It is so large that you need a strength pendant to lift it, basically what Colbalt is wearing, but stronger" We were too tired to say anything at all, so we went back to the tavern to wash the blood and guts off and have a good nights rest.
Thursday
We woke up to some birds singing and sunlight streaming down on our faces. The smell of freshly baked bread and eggs filled our room. I decided to leave the bedroom. I startled the innkeeper. "Woah, didn't expect you up so early! I made you some bread and omelets if you want any". Everyone woke up and went to eat with me, we ate talking about last night and sipping on some beer kept in massive barrels. The innkeeper leaned towards me giving me a piece of advice, you need an advanced crafting table to create anything obsidian and up, an Axum Forge, he gave me a stone crafting table with bluish markings and diamond tools on it. "This is the last one I have, but I feel like I should give it to heroes like you!" We thanked him when General Xander, one of Zach's soldiers busted through the door.
"Hello" he said, "Today we will be building a house, We have chosen the perfect plot of land for you." He led us to a plot of land with a few chests of materials and a shed. "Help yourself"he said as he waved goodbye. We began planning and adding input on how the house should be; A fountain right here, a master bedroom over there, a garden right in the front, a bomb shelter in the basement, we built on and on until we got this;
Our house had a stone wall around it. There was a wooden watch tower so we could shoot anything who tried to attack us. In the house we built a spacious cabin, There was a fountain in the front yard and a garden in the backyard. Inside we had 4 rooms, two of us in each room and 3 in the master bedroom. There was also a luxurious living room and a spacious kitchen. (There was actually furniture in this world, we had a whole bunch in one of those chests Xander gave us). We also dug out a basement with a living room, an armory, a storage room, and a panic room for when things get really
bad (it wasn't going to get that bad, at least not on our watch, we just built it just in case). We were tired and lounging in the living room when General Xander and Commander Zach entered, "What a nice house you have, over here" they said. "We came to check things out, we are having an expedition tommorow to Azbakan Crypt in the Nightsong Range. I looked toward the mountain range looming above looking for an adventure.
Friday
We were woken up by Xander knocking on our door. We were offered a breakfast of ham sandwiches and apple pie. The whole army came in obsidian and malachite armor, wielding their swords and bows. Zach gave a quick summary of what we were supposed to do."Our scouts have found the source of the mob attacks! We will march and destroy them" he pulled out a map. He pointed to a square marked in the Nightsong mountain range. "This is what we are attacking! The monsters inside are tough! Get on your horses and let's go!"
At his command we left riding on horseback. The mountain range wasn't too far off, probably eight-thousand blocks. The mountain was very precarious and cold though, Kaelab saw an archidon guard and shot it dead, picking up it's armor and an adurite dagger for close range combat. We found the entrance to the Azbakan Crypt, a very large hole carved into the rock. We lashed up our horses at the mouth of the dungeon and entered. There were stairs carved into the rock along with a bridge carved over a massive seemingly bottomless pit. As we walked on a pathway, an Archidon shot at Kaelab but he reacted quickly, blocking the arrow with his dagger and shooting it dead. We heard a rumble and thousands of jumpers came and covered us. The unit walking in front formed a phalanx with their shields. Anyone else with a shield put it over their head. Zach charged and knocked hundreds of them into the pit using his massive sword. I dual wielded my obsidian and iron sword and cut them down slowly. A mega creeper came up to me, it was a red, muscular burning abomination smelling of gunpowder. Kaelab shot it dead with his bow and I collected its drops. Some adurite shards.
We walked our way along the dungeon killing any zombies that might stand in our way. We then found the big fish, the Lord of the Undead, a massive wither skeleton sitting in an arena. He was capable of striking anyone with his adurite maceball killing anyone that might stand in the way, and also spawning in wither skeletons, jumpers, and mega creepers. The whole army was at his feet, all two-hundred fifty of us. Kaelab shot three arrows at him at once, but that only did a little bit of damage. It made him angrier and he lunged at us with his maceball. Zach jumped up and struct his face with his megasword three times and did significantly more damage, but only made him angrier, he let out a big roar and we all kneeled back. I tried to climb onto him by sticking my swords into him and slashing him, but he got so angry that I had trouble holding onto him, it was like riding a bull. He kicked Logan who had his shield raised, but got knocked back away from the rest of the group. We felt a massive wave of jumpers come at us in all directions. They were no match for Zach's megasword but there were thousands. I realized this had to end, if we went on like this we would all die. Suddenly a wave of energy filled my body. I leapt in the air on top of the Lord's head, and struct him multiple times. This brought him from half his health down to none in a rage-fueled rampage, he vanished in a puff of smoke.
When it cleared there was a massive pile of items. It was like when someone opened a pinata, people were taking items left and right. I got an obsidian chestplate, leggings, boots, A diamond sword, some XP bottles to enchant it, a golden apple, fragments of his adurite mace, some obsidian. Suddenly Xander opened a chest among all the loot and shouted "QUIET!" We all stood and listened, he was reading an adventurer's notebook. It said that he was a man from Verdania, a continent west of this continent, Oborona. It also explains that Azbakan Crypt was an ancient Dwarven city, a now extinct race, and how it was conquered by Herobrine two hundred years ago. We listened intently and looked at eachother. We headed back to Anatolia to get some rest as it was a rough battle.
