Welcome back everyone to a brand new art of the story! Now I hope that it would be the same batch of readers as last time, and if you are new and you hadn't read the last part of the story, go do it. The story goes on and on, and you might be confused if you dropped in halfway. Anyway, good luck and Game On!

Hakime POV

I tried starting up my phone, thinking that it wasn't possible. The last time I checked, which is probably 2 weeks ago, it is at 17%. It should have been dead already, but I was greeted by an infinity symbol replacing whatever should have been beside the battery symbol.

"Guys," I turned to the others and waved my phone. "This is impossible, right? I mean, having infinite battery,"

Duncan took the phone from my hand and started inspecting it. "This is impossible," He said after a while, returning the phone. "But this is Minecraft; everything is not logical,"

We punched down a few trees and made a crafting table after we woke up. It was until then that I realize that punching trees hurts a lot. Also, all the wood we got disappeared in a puff of smoke as soon as we stepped close to it. At first, we didn't know how to make a crafting table until Aquarius reached up and swiped her index finger down, like she's using an iPad. A few dots came up, and Aquarius explored every one of those dots until she found the inventory and the crafting grid. I'll admit that the way she did the first gesture was like Sword Art Online. Maybe she watched that too.

We are waiting for Rob and Jason to come back with as much cobblestone as they could get with 2 wooden pickaxes each. None of us want to go through punching wood with our bare hands again, so we tried making our wood last. 4 pickaxes could get us enough cobblestones for stone swords, at least, and maybe a little extra for stone pickaxes.

"Hey, guys," Rex looked up after a while. "Notch mentioned a few gods that only exists in mods. What if this world is like a modded world?"

"Where Notch picks out bits of this world to make the Minecraft right now?" Vikk asked. "Maybe you're right, dude,"

A short while later, Rob and Jason came back with quite a lot of cobblestone. After arming ourselves, we set off in the direction where Sky and Jason saw a town. It should be alright if it is just villagers. They don't usually care what we do in their village; they only cared for themselves.

As we travelled, Mitch and Jerome murdered some animals. We thought that they would go up in smoke like the game, but instead we have to kill it, like in real life. We tried our best to remove their meat and skin them, but we could only do one-fifth of it. It's tiring but at least we have enough food.

We approached the town. It has a medieval-style gate, but beyond that are modern-looking houses. We saw villagers and humans beyond the gates, minding their own businesses. Once in a while, we would see iron golems passing. They are more terrifying than those in the game. They have thick chain-like arms, and they are all spattered with dried blood and, strangely, different bright colors. Maybe the villager kids and human kids did them. Whatever.

"Mum!" One of the villager kids saw us outside the gates. "Mum! There are people out there!"

The mother looked up from her knitting. Her eyes widened as she saw us and whispered something into the ears of another female human nearby. She stood up and ran off.

"Uhm, should we run?" Metro hid behind me. "They might be planning to kill us or something…"

A group of soldier approached us. We could've fought them, but our weapons are no match for their iron ones. Plus, they are wearing armor. They'd skewer us before we ever get to hurt them.

"Hybrids," One of the soldiers with fancy-looking armor snickered. "Here to collect tax again?"

"Again?" Lachlan looked blank. "We just arrived here, mate,"

We meant that we just arrived in this world, but the soldier mistook the meaning. "Do you think we would believe your word?" He laughed evil. "Don't even think about it," He raised his spear and yelled at the other soldiers. "Charge!"

"Fuck, shit," Neonz muttered. We did the only sensible thing: we bolted. The whole group of soldiers charged after us, laughing and yelling insults. Most went over my head, since I had no idea what they're talking about. But Aquarius' face got even sour as every insult was shouted. She looks like she would cream the whole group and blend them. And trust me: it is plenty scary.

We ran back into the forest. The trees are low, and the soldiers are riding horses. Unless they dismount, they won't be able to pass the trees. If they stopped to do so, we would be long gone.

And of course, luck wasn't on our side. An arrow sank into Simon's calf, and he yelped as he stumbled. We have to stop and haul him along, and the soldiers took the chance and circled us. We're officially trapped.

"Look at them," Mr. Fancy Pants pointed his enchanted spear at Aquarius' nose. The shifting purple light made her face look even scarier than the time I punched her off a cliff in Minecraft. "The once mighty hybrids. Now they are just a bunch of cowards running away from us. They are weaklings, prey for us,"

"Sir," One of the soldiers pointed at Isaac. "This guy killed my father before. Do I get to kill him?"

"Go ahead," Fancy Pants yawned. "We are going to finish them off, anyway,"

The soldier drew his sword, and grinned at Isaac as he advanced. Two of the soldiers nearest to Isaac grip him tightly to prevent him from escaping. This is all a fudging nightmare.

"I've always wanted to try this," Aquarius put on her crazy smile suddenly. She looked even scarier when she did that. That is the exact expression she gave me after she went back to the cliff and discovered that all her stuff had despawned, including her favorite sword. In a swift motion, she pulled the spear from Fancy Pants' hands and jabbed him in the chinks of his armor. He fell off his horse.

"Run!" She yelled before we even recover from her actions. We burst through the crowd and raced back to the same town, for some reason. The soldier recovered and chased after us, yelling furiously and calling the town guards for backup. The guards tried dropping the gates, but we raced through before it hit us. Aquarius thrusted the spear into some random folks' hand, saying "Happy Birthday," as she did so. We ran further before finding a barn big enough for all of us to hide. We ran in and I hid under a pile of hay. World-class horror, man.
