"Ughh"
A flood of water hit me straight in the face, making me groan in surprise. I slowly opened my eyes, trying to focus on my surroundings. As my vision cleared, I noticed I was laying on my stomach on some kind of beach. Surrounding the beach was a lake, and a massive forest. I slowly sat up, stretching my arms. The water looked beautiful. It sparkled in the sun, and I could feel the cool breeze coming from it. For a moment, nothing was wrong.
Wait a minute, was sand supposed to be shaped like squares? I took a quick look around me, and noticed that everything seemed to be made out of cubes. And then the events of yesterday came flooding back to me. I had been sucked into my computer.
After the initial shock went over, I started to think rational about it. There was no way that it would be physically possible for a guy of my size to enter a laptop screen. I had never heard of a case where a player had been transported into the game he or she was playing. It was totally, completely nuts.
It was a dream. That was what it was. Of course, a dream. That would make perfect sense. I must have fallen asleep in front of my computer, and I was now dreaming about Minecraft.
But a small part of me told me that this was actually happening. That I had been sucked into Minecraft. But that would be impossible, wouldn`t it?
Suddenly, I noticed something. I was wearing a backpack. I took it off, and opened it up. As I opened it, a grid appeared over it. The grid was split into several smaller grids. One grid consisted of a 2x2 square, probably meant for crafting. Another grid contained some armor icons. The last grid was filled with empty squares, probably supposed to resemble my inventory.
"Ahh, I guess it`s no use thinking about that now. For now, let`s focus on getting resources", I told myself as I closed my backpack. The basic resource of Minecraft was wood. And how did you get wood? You… punched a tree…
"Aww heeeeell no!" I looked skeptically over at a random tree in the forest. So I was just supposed to… punch it? With my bare fist? Wouldn`t that hurt as hell? As I headed over to it, I tried to think of another logical solution other than to bang my fu**ing fist at a tree. But I had to get wood in order to craft anything. So it seemed like the only option.
"Well, here goes nothing I guess", I mumbled, as I took a deep breath. And punched the tree as hard as I could. At first, I was expecting massive amounts of pain to spread through my fist, but to my surprise, I didn't feel hurt at all. The tree on the other hand, had a large crack in it. After a couple more punches, a large chunk of wood disappeared, leaving behind a smaller version of itself. Shaped as a cube, of course. And the tree was now magically floating in the air.
"Well, I guess this is Minecraft, after all", I laughed.
I bent down, and picked up the little cube of wood. A tiny number was floating next to it, displaying 1. It probably meant that I had one block of wood. I opened my backpack, and placed the block of wood inside one of the empty squares. Sure enough, it popped into it with a satisfying pop-sound. I dragged the block over onto the crafting grid, and it showed me that I could craft a stack of four wooden planks. I grabbed the wooden planks, using them to create a workbench.
After some minutes of deforesting, I managed to make myself a wooden sword, a wooden pickaxe and a wooden axe. Suddenly, I noticed how incredibly hungry I was. My stomach was aching for food, and I looked around me for something to eat. Over in the distance, I spotted a lonely cow eating some grass.
I sneaked my way towards it, making sure not to make a sound. When I finally got close enough, I rushed towards it, wooden sword in hand. The poor thing didn't stand a chance. I stabbed my sword straight into its side, causing a small fountain of blood to ooze out. The cow let out a shriek of pain, and fell down onto its knees. It disappeared with a small puff, replacing itself with white smoke. And on the ground was a piece of meat and some leather.
"Huh, that's weird", I said to myself. "I can`t remember the animals in the game bleeding?" Then I realized something. That cow didn't look like the cow from the game. This cow looked like an actual real-life cow, not a cow made from cubes. And when I thought about it, the main character of Minecraft, Steve, looked like a man made from a small set of cubes. When I looked down at my body, I still looked like a normal person, and my body wasn`t… well… blocky.
I picked up the meat and put the leather in my inventory. Back home, I could never have eaten raw meat. I gagged just by the thought of it. But here, in Minecraft, things were different. The meat looked… delicious, even uncooked. Before I had a clue what I was doing, I had eaten the entire piece of meat. Raw. And I actually enjoyed it. Yeah. This game is pretty f**ked up sometimes.
I spent some time running around, killing animals and gathering wood. The shadows from the trees around me grew longer as the sun gradually sunk lower and lower on the horizon. Nighttime was approaching, and we all know what comes out at night. The monsters. And I wasn't exactly feeling fit for a fight against zombies and living skeletons. I quickly headed towards the nearest mountain, hoping to find some sort of shelter.
Sure enough, in the mountainside, I found an empty cave. The sun was dangerously low now, and I could almost feel the temperature dropping. Creepy noises could be heard all around me, and I quickly barricaded the entrance to my little cave. After lighting it up with torches made from charcoal, I plopped down my crafting table. Putting in the necessary ingredients, I crafted a bed, and placed it down next to me.
I jumped in under the covers of my newly created bed, which was surprisingly comforting. The torches kept my little cave warm enough to survive in, and the warmth felt good towards my skin.
"I guess this is really happening, huh?" I asked myself, feeling sleepier by the moment. "Stuck in Minecraft… I couldn`t have made that up even if I tried"
I could hear low zombie growls coming from outside my makeshift wall, but I knew I was safe. And after a while, they started feeling like a lullaby, slowly making me sleepier and sleepier. The last thing I thought about before I drifted away into unconsciousness, was how tasty that cow meat had been. And I hadn`t even cooked it.
