Spawned to Die

by rowenar11

Steve, a strange person with no past, appears in the middle of the forest- at the worst time convenient, when everyone in Minecraft is still afraid of the spawned. In order to find out who he is, Steve must either travel to a mysterious college or help a girl with a personal vendetta against the End. I don't own the game Minecraft, I only own my story!

1. Chapter 1

"Welcome... to Minecraft."

Steve opened his eyes. All he saw in front of him was darkness, but as his eyes adjusted, he could vaguely see the outlines of trees. He looked around, but that was all there was. He appeared to be in a forest at night.

"Hello?" he shouted. "Anyone here?"

Suddenly, he heard a hissing in the darkness, and saw the faint silhouette of a rectangular creature. It was shorter than him, but somehow seemed menacing.

"Hello? Who are you?" Steve asked the approaching menace. It didn't respond.

Suddenly, the creature began flashing. Warily, Steve backed up. Then white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he heard a huge boom. Yelling, he made a leap to the side. When the flash disappeared, there was only a crater where the creature once stood. Steve had avoided the worst of the explosion, but lights still danced in his eyes. He blinked.

All of a sudden, he heard the snap of something elastic, and an arrow flew towards him. He ducked under it and started running in the opposite direction. More arrows flew after him, and he could vaguely see purple eyes looking at him from all directions. Another creature exploded behind him. Then with a hiss, a black spider landed in front of him and attacked. One of its fangs narrowly missed his arm, and yelling with panic, he hit it away. Then he began his running once more.

Steve heard a yell, and something ran in front of him, pulling him to the side as an arrow flew towards him. The arrow missed him and hit the figure in the arm. The strange person yelled, "Run! RUN!" as more monsters started to close in.

Steve obeyed, frantically tearing through the trees and avoiding monsters. Soon, the figure was at his side, running gracefully and holding what appeared to be a sword. The person pulled him behind a tree and they stopped, gasping for breath. After a few minutes, the person took a stick-like object from a bag on their back, then put it on the tree. Immediately, the tip started glowing, and Steve realized it was a torch.

Curiously, Steve looked into the figure's face, now fully illuminated, not realizing that one look would change him forever.
