Chapter 1: A New Awakening

"Shoot!"

I don't know where to go!" I yelled as I went for a deep sprint through a rocky passageway.

The thing closed in on me.

He felt like crunchy leaves. I stood there hunched over, halfway inside of a rock.

Earlier that day

"Steve! School in half an hour!" My mother yelled as I groaned, clearly annoyed.

I slowly crept out of bed and opened my closet and pulled a pair of jeans from my dresser.

I yawned as I swept a clean, white T-Shirt over my head.

My shoulders slumped as I dragged myself to the breakfast table downstairs.

A plateful of pancakes and bacons plopped down in front of me.

I grinned, eager to eat. The breakfast was great, and I walked out the front door to school.

I walked down the dusty, old road.

A tall man with a beard stood against a fence.

He had a diamond in his hand. Then, I did something that I would regret my entire life.

I stole the diamond.

I leaped and swung wildly at him like martial artists I have seen on TV.

He grabbed my by the shirt collar and asked, "What is your name kid?"

"My name is Steve." I replied cautiously.

If my Mom found out that I tried to steal, she would kill me.

"Well Steve." the man said.

"My name is Notch.

You shall be punished for your actions!"

A bright light shined and I woke up in a Forest.

"What?" I asked myself as I looked around.

There were trees everywhere and everything was cube shaped.

A herd of cows took a swim in the river.

I did not know what I was doing here.

Also, where had that guy Notch had gone?

I decided that I was going to survive on my own.

I started punching trees with my fist.

It was fun at first, but after the 7th tree, my hands started feeling sore.

I needed to get an axe somehow.

I chopped up my wood into wooden planks.

My fists were burning by now and it was also getting dark.

I chose to make an axe in the morning and focus on getting ahold of a weapon.

Who knew what was out there in this blocky world.

I broke some of my planks into sticks and pounded the wood into a sword.

I did not know how to use a sword as I was only 13, but I was excited to learn how.
