Notice: I add in different things to this story like Heart Flowers and stuff. I'm not sure if this is going to be included into Minecraft or not, but I just felt that it'd be cool to have Heart Flowers to heal yourself at will.

?'s point of view:
I woke up in my bed, yawning quietly as I clapped my hands, turning on the light in my room. It was a Friday morning and I had Christmas break coming up. Today was the first semester's final exams at my school and I was prepared for them. I quickly took my blanket off of me as I ran over to my dresser and began picking out my clothes. I smiled, pulling out my folded uniform as I tossed it on the bed. I took off my night shirt as I threw it into the dirty hamper in my neat bedroom. "Swish." I said, smiling as I took off my pants next revealing my... Let's just get over with it. No one wants to hear about me undressing myself. I quickly threw on my uniform, a white button-up shirt, black dress pants, and my black leather shoes. "Hmm... Which tie should I wear?" I thought as I held up my white tie and my blood red tie. "Hmm... Red." I said before putting it on. I grabbed the remote for my television and turned it on as I put on my black denim jacket. I quickly changed it to Channel 3 and watched the news for the weather. I smiled as I saw two of my friends who had recently graduated from college doing the news. "Elek, Kathy, Mitsuki and Stein sure are great." I said, smiling as my reddish-brown eyes glowed with happiness. I leaned on the shelf as I smiled at them, sliding my fingers through my long black hair.
"... Along with the mysterious disappearances of billionaire Johnnothon Ethan Spirit, his son, who goes by the same name or Junior has also gone missing. These disappearances have begun ever since the re-release of Minecraft, a game that was created over 900 years ago by the company MOJANG. Sources say that these disappearances have something to do with that game's release. But for now, let's go over to the weather with Elek. So what's it look like over on your side, dear?" she asked, turning as her blue hair whipped with her, her pink eyes glowing with happiness as she looked at her boyfriend.
"Well today it's another global snowfall, even down here in New Honolulu, where we're looking out for different events. I'd recommend not going on the thin ice of lakes, rivers and what is known as the ocean. There's a possibility of a snowstorm, so I'd recommend standing next to a hottie..." Elek said as he got glared at by his three female co-hosts. "... S-so Stein, what's trending?" he asked as the red-haired girl smiled.
"Well actually other than the re-release of that game Kathy was talking about I'd say that things are really heating up on 'A Little Birdie Told Me' about that fight at Ikaros High yesterday between two youths apparently ending quickly when other students joined the fray simply to pull the other away." the girl said, smiling before grinning at Elek. "So what about you Elek, I hear you're close with one of the boy's brother." she said as he sweat dropped.
"Yeah, he's a friend, that's it." Elek said, smiling as he looked at the map.
"Didn't you get any information on it from him?" Kathy asked as he shrugged, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry girls, he didn't even know about it, and he goes to that school. Apparently he was in the library reading at the time." he said as they sighed. "Well, what's up with sports, Mitsuki?"
"Nothin' much." a pink haired girl said, sighing with a smile. Nothing much has happened in college or worldwide types of sports. Even hockey, nothin' much there either." she said.
"Well, might as well go to your other part, Suki." Kathy said with a smile as the girl nodded.
"Fine, it's only for the audience." she said, putting on her glasses before smiling at the camera. "Welcome to my other segment 'News In Haikus' where I describe what Kathy said, but instead with a haiku." Mitsuki said as I smiled at the television before turning it off. I sighed happily, walking toward the door before my big (and not to mention adopted) brother Lukas burst in, his short, ruffled, black hair shaking as he walked in, holding a mug of black coffee, a glass of orange juice and a plate of blueberry waffles in his hands. He smiled at me as he stood in his clothes. He wore a tan jacket with black lines all over it, black cargo pants, black sneakers and a white shirt under his zipped up jacket as he set the food on my desk. "Rise and shine little brother, mom said to bring you your breakfast." he said, smiling as I walked over, picking up a waffle.
"Thanks Lukas." I said, smiling at him as I bit it.
"You ready for the tests today?" he asked as I shook my head, the waffle still in my mouth. I took it out of my mouth as I began talking again.
"Nope, but can everyone ever be completely ready?" I asked as I put my contacts into their case and threw it into my backpack. I then grabbed out my glasses and put them on, clearing my vision as I looked up at my slim brother. I quickly put my backpack on as I grabbed my black coffee and took a sip, allowing the warm liquid to slide down my throat and tease the taste buds of my mouth. "You ready big brother?" I asked as he nodded, smiling.
"Where's Scy?" he asked before I pointed up. The albino girl was sleeping in the top bunk of my bed as she scratched her stomach. She snored happily, smiling as she drooled slightly. I sighed, shaking my head as I walked over to her.
"Scyther?" I asked, climbing up the ladder as I looked at her. She smiled, snoring louder as I closed her mouth, wiping her drool on my sleeve. "... She's so cute." I muttered to myself as I heard Lukas snicker. I immediately began blushing as I looked at him. "Sh-shut up! Siblings can't get married, and so what if I think my big sister's cute?" I asked, blushing deeper with each second passing.
"Oh little bro." he said, smiling as I hopped down, looking up at him. He suddenly put an arm around me and looked out at the snow. "You have a lot to learn about women; and besides, she's your adopted sister. You both can kiss and st-"
"LUKAS!" I shouted, punching him in the arm. "I don't like Scyther like that!" I shouted as he chuckled. He walked out of the room with a grin.
"Whatever Howl. Just get her up and meet dad and I at the car." he said with a grin before closing the door. I blushed deeply as I climbed up the ladder again, looking at Scyther as she slept in a rather... Lewd way. I blushed, watching as my eyes trailed down her bare arm and to her wrist. I couldn't stop blushing as I realized where her hand was... It was under her sleeping pants and in her panties. I blushed deeply, quickly looking back at her as I slipped a strap back up on her one-piece dress that she often wore when slept.
"Scy... Rise and shine." I said quietly as I shook her. She groaned adorably as she swatted my hand away, hugging her pillow with her hand and arm before I sighed, leaning forward as I pressed my rough lips against her forehead. I heard her groan again before I pulled away, seeing her eyelids slowly flutter open as I could see her red eyes staring at me. Her face suddenly turned a shade of red like that of her eyes as I smiled. "Good morning Death's Scythe." I said, smiling, not noticing that she had removed her hand from her panties. "... I saved you some breakfast," I said, pointing to the other waffle on the plate and the orange juice. "... Well?" I asked before seeing her frown angrily.
"Y-y... YOU IDIOT!" she shouted before punching me in the face, sending me falling down the ladder, my glasses landing on her bed as I landed on my rear. I groaned, holding my spine as I looked up at her. She was blushing deeply, hands crossed in front of her flat chest. "Y-y-you better not tell anyone that you saw me with my hand in my panties!" she said before hearing someone walking by.
"We already know you sleep like that Scyther." we heard our adopted mother call out as she passed by our room. Scyther blushed even deeper as I snickered. She growled, throwing my glasses across the room as I got to my feet.
"Hey!" I shouted, catching them just in time before putting them on. "C'mon Scy! Don't go throwing my glasses everywhere!" She grinned, hopping off of the bed as she began eating.
"Why? You look better without them." she teased, grinning at me as I blushed deeply.
"Sh-shut up and get dressed." I said, blushing as I walked out, slamming the door behind me. I sighed, holding my backpack as I stared at the staircase in front of me. "... I really hate this mansion." I said, sighing as I walked over to the stairs and set my hand on the rail. "..." I lifted my hand and looked at it. "Not rich, not poor... Just..." I said, sighing before seeing someone standing at the end of the stairs. I walked past her with a sigh as she tapped my shoulder.
"Good luck today Percy." she said as I nodded. I looked at her as I took notice of what she wore. She wore her favorite green t-shirt and blue, faded jeans. As usual, she also wasn't wearing shoes, instead just wearing her stockings so she could slide on the floors.
"... Thanks Lexi." I said.
"Y'know..." she said as I turned around.
"... I'm sorry for yelling at you last night, Lexi." I said, apologizing to my adopted mother as her green eyes glowed with surprise. She quickly held a strand of her own hair as she looked at me.
"... It's fine Percy." she said, petting my head as Scyther walked out of our bedroom, wearing her school uniform. She wore a white dress shirt under a white school-jacket, outlined with black with a matching ruffled skirt that reached her knees. Below that she wore short stockings that reached her knees and her shoes, which had a small area near the heel that made her a bit taller. I then looked up at her and blushed lightly, seeing the thin red ribbon she wore like a tie and the long red ribbon I bought her for her birthday last month to hold her long, beautiful and white hair up. I blushed deeply, staring up at my adopted sister as she put her bag on her shoulder and slid down the rail with a smile before landing on the bottom.
"Ta-da!" she said, smiling as Alexis petted her head.
"Good luck today Scy." she said as Scyther smiled up at her.
"Thanks mom. Bye!" she said, smiling as she ran off toward the garage.
"..." I began walking again. "... Hey... Lexi?"
"Yes Percival?" she asked as I looked at her. "Is there something you wanted to speak with me about?" she asked, her chrome green eyes staring into my soul.
"... Do you... Want to spend time with me after school? I mean... Like we used to when I was a kid?" I asked as she smiled happily, nodding.
"Of course son." she said, smiling as I ran to her, hugging her quickly before running off to the garage without another word. Despite the fact that I couldn't see her, I could swear I could feel her smiling at me with a tear falling from her right eye. I quickly ran into the garage and stopped at the black motorcycle to my left before dropping my bag and hugging, petting and baby-talking to it.
"Who's a good girl? Did you miss me? I know you miss breaking the rules of the road with me, don't you Ebony?" I asked as the handles turned, seeming to face me as a ghostly neigh was heard. "That's right, I know Ebony!" I baby-talked, smiling at it as it rubbed up against me and neighed. Scyther rolled her eyes, snickering at me as I hugged the motorcycle, smiling happily.
"Remember to use protection when you start screw driving each other. I don't want to see any nuts or bolts when you play with your handlebars." Scyther said as she and Lukas burst into laughter. I pouted at them and hugged Ebony again as the motorcycle neighed.
"Don't worry Ebony, they just don't understand how we feel. They don't know our love." I said, smiling as I hugged the motorcycle. I smiled, rubbing my face against the seat before a man with short brown hair walked in. He had bandages on his hands, legs and feet. Over that he wore a denim jacket and shorts.
"Hey there you guys, are you all ready for school?" he asked as we all nodded, smiling. "Good." he said as we all walked over to his white van. (ALWAYS TRUST A MAAAAAAAAN IN A BIG WHITE VAN! :D) We all got in as he started the car. "Ikaros high, here we come." he said as he drove out of the garage and into the snow. I smiled, looking out at the winter wonderland as he drove us to school.
"Thanks for driving us Sam." I said, smiling at my adopted father as he nodded.
"No problem you guys. I just want to make sure you're all ready for the tests. Did you all eat breakfast?" he asked as we nodded. "Okay." he said as he stopped in front of the school and smiled at all of us as we all got undid our seat belts. "Alright, I'll see you guys later. I've got to work another shift today, so your Uncle Hamartia will be here to pick you guys up, alright?" he asked as Lukas held up a finger and spoke.
"A-actually I was gonna go and meet up with Elek and Xenn after school." Lukas said as Sam nodded.
"Be back by midnight." he said as Lukas nodded.
"I'm gonna be spending time with Isabella, Victoria, Julie and Lauren." Scyther said as Sam nodded to her.
"Same time for you, young lady." he said with a smile as she nodded, smiling. "And what about you, Howl?" he asked as I looked down.
"... Dimitri and Serah have got a date tonight... And probably having sex right after... So I'm kinda alone." I said, staring at my feet. "... I'll be here for Uncle H to pick me up." I said as he nodded.
"What about Seth, Shi-no, Rakka and Nethed?" he asked as I shook my head.
"Seth's going with Julie to America, Shi-no Rakka, and Nethed's going back to Shibuya for Christmas break." I said as he sighed.
"Haunt?" he asked.
"Travelling with Andrew, Lily and Valerie." I replied.
"... You know... Sometimes friends tend to drift... And the-"
"Okay shut up!" I said, getting out of the car. He gaped looking at me. "Don't you think I know that? Everyone I hang out with is leaving to go be with their loved ones!"
"... Howl, I know wha-"
"Gosh! You act like I'm gonna become some stupid shut in because I have no dream. No dreams, no hopes for the future, no nothing! I'm fine without a dream! Dreams are for people who can waste their life chasing after them instead of accepting the harsh reality that not everyone's gonna be rich and famous! I HAVE no future!" I said angrily as he looked at me.
"Howl, I understand what you're going through. I've been alive for the pa-" he began.
"Shut up!" He opened his mouth to speak before I interrupted him. "No! Don't even try to relate to me! I'm sorry for killing you that time; I'm sorry you're Undead now, but don't you fucking tell me that we're the same! We're nothing like each other. You had a normal life and joined the army to fight for your country thirty-thousand years ago! I was born like this! Zombies and Eaters are two different species, so don't even bring that up!" I said, taking off my glasses and shoving them into my pocket before I ran off.
I sighed, leaning along the wall of the back of the school before wiping my eyes. "... I'm sorry Sam... If I weren't an Eater then maybe people would like me... Ever since Kindergarten and that one event... I didn't mean to eat all that food... I was just so hungry..." I whispered to myself as I wiped the frozen tears from my face. "... No one can understand me." I said before feeling someone tap my shoulder as I looked to my left. I looked up and into silver eyes I had come to look up to.
"Hey there Howl." He said as I looked up. "... You alright?" He asked, noticing the look of sadness on my face.
"... I'm fine." I said, putting my glasses on as I saw his young face and brown hair. "You don't have to check on me all the time, Dimitri." I said as he put an arm around my neck and began to noogie me.
"Ah, c'mon dude. You're one of my best friends, how can I not?" he asked as I pushed him away. "... You don't look too good. You're pale." he said as I frowned.
"I get it. I'm Caucasian. Deal with me being white. So what if I'm the whitest white boy you know?" I asked as the tanned boy chuckled.
"I didn't mean it like that... I mean, you look like Death himself."
"I look nothing like Xenophon's father." I said as he sighed, patting my head.
"You look like you're getting sick." he said as I sighed.
"... I haven't eaten in three years... I'm almost to the end of my life because of my lack of nourishment."
"Stop talking like a Vamp." He said, elbowing my arm.
"I'm serious... If I don't eat in a day, I'll be dead." I said as he punched me in the arm.
"Hey... Just go find some food. I know you can't survive without a certain type." he said as I sighed.
"... Fine... I'll just go find something to eat after school." I said as we walked into class and got to our seats. The rest of the day was pretty normal until Gym class after our test, where our teacher, Quill Estuans Pinnam, or Mr. Quill was having everyone play on the ice rink as I sat in the stands, holding my stomach. "... So... Hungry..." I said holding my stomach as it growled loudly. He came over, sitting next to me and looked at me, taking off his purple helmet as he sat down, unzipping his pink jacket before putting it around me like a blanket.
"You alright?" he asked as I shook my head.
"So... Hungry..." I muttered, looking up at him as he gasped.
"You remember your medical condition is bad, right?!" He asked as I nodded.
"... I'll find some of the food." I said as he nodded.
"You'd better." he said as we watched class go on. "I don't want you dead before you turn 16." He said as I smiled.
"... Thanks Quill." I said as the school bell rang. I gasped, grabbing my bag as I left him his jacket and darted out. I couldn't let Uncle Hamartia see me. I couldn't let Sam and Lexi see me... If they saw how pale I was and how sick I was getting, they'd flip! I dashed out of the school before running out behind it and to the back door. I quickly opened my laptop and turned on the internet connectivity on my phone so my laptop could use the internet. "... I don't want to eat again... But... I need this chance to say goodbye." I said before typing away on the notepad.
"Dear family,
This is to you all, Lexi, Sam, Scyther, Lukas and Ebony... I... I'm sorry for not telling you all... But I've run out of years... I've been lying, saying that I have been eating... But the truth is I haven't... I'm sorry for lying... I just... I didn't want to remain as the monster I am..." I typed, tearing up as my heart broke. "I... I wanted to tell you all... But I'm tired of eating! All I do is make him stronger every time I do. I don't want to say goodbye... But... This is the only way..." I read aloud, crying as I looked at the screen. "... Goodbye." I typed as I wiped the frozen tears. I sighed, quickly using my computer's printing function as I placed the note inside of my pocket. "... I can't face them again... So I might as well waste the rest of the time I have left in this world." I said, saving the note as "Goodbye Everyone..." as I opened Minecraft.
"... Might as well see what all the talk is about." I said, reaching into my bag as I took out the headset. "... Is it safe, I wonder?" I said, placing on the helmet as I looked at the screen. "Heh... Is it like Sword Art Online? I wonder if there's a girl like Asuna in Minecraft... But what if there was a blacksmith girl like Lisbeth?" I thought before blushing. "... Stupid anime crushes." I thought, smiling lightly as I plugged it in. "... Was there instructions to this?" I thought as some popped up in front of me. "Oh... A voice activated password?" I thought, leaning against the wall with the computer on my lap. The snow was freezing cold as the snowflakes kissed my skin gently. "... Hmm... How about..." I stopped, waiting for it to open the password box. "Goodbye." I said as I smiled, closing my eyes as I felt myself suddenly enter the world of Minecraft.

A minute later in Minecraftia...
"... Huh..." I said, looking at the place. There were blocks upon blocks everywhere as I approached a small spring. "... Huh..." I said, scooping up some water. "Went from a single-player to somewhat multiplayer to MMO..." I muttered, sitting on a block. I sighed, looking at my reflection in the spring. "Huh... I won't be seeing you ever again." I said, looking at my avatar's face... It was the simple "Steve" look as I scratched my chin. "... I like this better than the pale skin I usually have." I said before hearing a quiet screech through the air as I ducked, avoiding what appeared to be a Diamond Battleaxe. "... Damn... Already fighting new guys." I said, standing up as I kicked the guy away, quickly scaling a nearby mountain to avoid him. "Pick on the new guys why don't you?!" I called out as I looked back at him. I noticed that he looked just like me, except his eyes were a pure white, no pupils, no irises... Just the white of an eye. I growled as I reached the top and stood there, between a cliff and him as he arrived. "I didn't want to do this... But it looks like I'll be alive for a little longer!" I shouted, slamming my fists together before screeching at him. He grinned, throwing his ax at my face as I opened my mouth... Nothing happened to me as his ax still flew. "AH! My Eater fo-GAH!" I shouted in pain as I took the ax to the face and shouted in pain. "AH! IT HURTS!" I shouted in pain before he walked up, kicking me and grabbing his ax as I fell down the mountain, grunting in pain as I looked at my Hearts. "... One heart left?" I thought as he disappeared from the mountain. "... What the Hell?" I asked, standing up as I walked over to a Heart Flower. I picked it up and placed it in my mouth, eating it as I felt it slowly heal me. "... Now where'd he go?" I asked as I looked up, noticing him standing on the top of a tree, grinning at me. "What the Hell!?" I shouted as he jumped down. I closed my eyes as I felt his blade touch my head.
.
.
.
I blacked out after that.
A few hours later...
"... Huh?" I thought, looking at the world, seeing cubes and perfectly symmetrical squares of dirt everywhere. "Whoa. I must be going insane... Again." I said to myself as I walked up to a small pool of water. I washed my face and looked around. "Yep, like I said... Insane." I said as I stared into the water again. I gasped as I looked at the water. My breaths began growing heavy as I looked at myself. My scar on my nose was there, along with the scars near my ears. My skin was pale white again and I saw my uniform. I looked down as my long, black hair fell over my eyes, the braid undone as I screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAH! WHAT'S THIS?! MY BODY?! WHAT IN HELL?!" I thought, looking at my thin arms as I punched myself... Hard. My nose began bleeding as I bent back down, washing my face and eyes in the water as I began panicking. What the Hell was happening?! I gasped as I heard something approach. It made a hissing noise that sent a deathly chill up my spine. "... I'm not dying again in this game..." I thought as I waited for it to get closer. I suddenly did a spin, flinging my fist at it as I felt it connect with its face. I stood up, getting ready for a fight before gasping.
"Ow! What the Nether is wrong with you?!" I heard a girl say. I looked down and saw a girl around my age with orange hair and was wearing a Creeper jacket. "I was just kidding around!" she said standing up.
... Well shit.
What a HORRIBLE start! :D
