New World

by juan.nacholibre

Arthur received a modpack from an unknown user for him to try out. Who would've thought that this particular modpack could transport him to another world that was similar to the game but different in some ways. Join Arthur on his journey of discovery as he tries to find a way back home while uncovering secrets and mysteries that shroud the land of Terra.

Prologue

"Alrighty then. Took you an hour, but I guess that's just how huge modpacks are."

Arthur clapped his hands when he heard the familiar sound of a download being finished in his headphones. He stretched out his arms and leaned back on his reclining gaming chair, relaxing his aching back after an hour of waiting for the download to finish.

He was given a PM by someone he didn't know that they were trying to make a modpack specifically for him as a gift. Apparently this person was a huge fan of him, strangely enough. Even though Arthur knew that he had gained a bit of fame from online community and the game itself, it wouldn't go to the point where he would actually get a privilege of being given a personal modpack.

But Arthur accepted it anyways. His knowledge of mods was from the ones in 1.7.10 which were pretty outdated. Now with the current update of Minecraft, lots of new mods were created and old mods were updated to be compatible with the new ones. He was informed that the mod pack made for him was compatible with the current update, and it contained most of the mods for that current update so it was a good way of trying to learn the mods.

"You go there, and... Yosh![1] Now we're ready." After moving files for a bit and fixing the load order, Arthur opened up the launcher and launched the game.

He was then met with the main screen of the game... but something was a bit strange about it. Under the titular name of the game was only one button instead four or five.

However, Arthur wasn't surprised by this. There were some instances of modpacks altering how the game works so this wasn't much of an eye-opener. What amazed Arthur however, was how the game was running so smoothly and his system unit weren't making dying sounds. Why would he expect this to happen? This was because this modpack contained a whopping 507 mods!

It was already a miracle that his whole system hasn't fried itself yet, and it looked like it won't happen anytime soon so for the meantime Arthur was safe.

Seeing that singular and innocent looking button waiting to be pressed, Arthur grabbed hold of the mouse and clicked on the [Enter World] button.

And then everything turned black.
