"Where am I?" I think to myself as I appear in a strange environment. "Where is everyone? Wait. Is that a cow? And there's a pig!" I am just so freaked out right now that the simplest things are amusing me. But then, I heard a voice in my head.

"Well, hello there Steve." Who is this, and how does it know my name.

"Who are you? And where am I? I've never seen a country like this. Everything is made up of blocks!" I just rambled out the questions.

"I am Notch. I will help you survive. You should start by getting some wood."

"And how am I supposed to do that? I don't have an axe."

"Just use your hands."

"But… that's impossible!"

"Trust me."

"Fine, but you are paying for the hospital bill when my hands are broken." I walked up to a tree. When I started hitting it, I was surprised to see cracks in the wood. Eventually, I broke down the tree. "Now what?" I asked Notch.

"Now… you craft."
