It was the middle of the night, and Alexander Bubberz Cobb was sitting in a hole in the ground. Of course, it wasn't hard to see why - this was the time when zombies, skeletons, and other scary things roamed the land. But Alex, unlike his "friends" from school, was a coward. He crafted weapons not to smite monsters, but only to gather food in times of need. He was more concerned with settling into his new private hell than slaughtering all that stood in his way. He just wasn't ready for this. But as the tradition went, students who finished school in Minecraftia were sent off on their own to live in the vast wilderness, and there was nothing Alex could do about that. He watched the moon rise above the horizon from his crude makeshift shelter.
What could be in store for me?
A pair of purple eyes glared at him in the distance, as if to answer his question, and he immediately covered up the top of the pit with a plank.
Looks like I'll have to wait down here for a while.
So he waited. And waited some more. He stuck a torch in the "wall" to brighten up the place, and made sure it wouldn't burn him or his clothing. Fire, he thought, would turn out to be a serious threat, especially for someone living in a forest like he was going to. As anyone would while sitting in a hole, Alex got bored quickly. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Finally, he fell asleep, forgetting about all that was out to get him.
Hi there! Thank you so much for reading this first chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. I won't beg for reviews in exchange for new chapters, but leaving one will certainly help me in my writing. Again, thank you! :)
