I had always wanted to play Minecraft. It looked interesting in all the videos I'd seen of it. It was like no other game.
The problem was I had a pretty old computer, and I couldn't afford another one. It was about 5 years old, and it lagged so much, YouTube videos were only barely watchable.
Another problem was money. I had enough money to live by, plus enough to buy things for myself every now and then. Sadly, those things normally costed around $10. I had to wait a month and a half to get enough money to buy Minecraft.
The moment was finally here. I hit the 'Confirm' button. It took a while because my computer was so laggy. It went to the screen where I could choose my username and password.
I was infinitely happy. I chose the username 'Wolverine1337'. Luckily, it was available. I chose my password, did some more stuff for security, and hit the 'Confirm' button. It started to download Minecraft.
I was getting more excited every second. I clicked on the 'Minecraft' icon on my desktop. I clicked the 'Play' button. It started to load. It showed the Mojang logo for a second, then showed me the menu screen of Minecraft. There were two big buttons, 'Singleplayer' and 'Multiplayer'. Since I didn't know any servers, I clicked on 'Singleplayer', then 'New World'. I made it a normal survival world on Normal. I hit 'Done'. It started to load the world. The lag made it very slow. Was it just me, or was the computer emitting a tiny bit of smoke? Finally, the progress bar got to the end.
Images started to flash on the screen, except they were filling my entire field of vision, not the screen. The first picture was a picture of normal scenery. The next picture was the same, except there was a dirt hut. The third picture had the dirt hut replaced with a wood house with a door. The one after that had a little mine in front of the house. The next picture had a farm added to it. The pictures were getting darker and blurrier. The next picture had the farm surrounded in fence. The one after that had an animal farm. There were a few more. The last picture I could see had a Nether portal. I could make out the house getting bigger, but I couldn't see any of the features. It was gradually getting darker until, finally, it went black.
I could feel myself lying down on something with little things coming out of it. Grass, I assumed. I rubbed my eyes. Strange, I don't remember my face being this flat, I thought. I got up and opened my eyes. At first it was hard to see because the light was blinding, but once I could see clearly, I couldn't believe my eyes.
