"Okay, Grim," Dan said as he examined the desert before him, "we're going to get the stuff Dr. Trayaurus needs, and then we're going to kick Denton's butt."

The skeleton dog barked excitedly and began circling Dan rapidly.

"Haha, you're a lot cuter up close than on a computer screen. Hmm…since we're already in the desert, I guess we should go and get the sand and cacti." The young Minecraft player looked down at the sand below his feet. He bent down and hit the closest sand block. It shrank instantly into his hand. "Huh, that seemed easy enough, but how do I…?" When he tried to put the block in his pocket, a vertical rectangular image of his inventory appeared before him, just like in the game. "Whoa, cool." He placed the block into an empty slot and the image disappeared.

"Bark! Bark!" Up ahead, Grim was circling a couple of cacti.

"Grim! Way to go!" He gathered three of the cactus blocks, which surprisingly weren't as prickly as he thought. "Alright! This is going to be a breeze!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Dan spotted something green coming towards him and did a double take. It was a creeper. Normally, he wouldn't be fazed by the green creature, but that was mostly because it was just a game. Now that Dan was in the game itself, the creeper was practically the same size as him. It hissed menacingly as it walked on its four legs. "Uh oh, looks like we've got company, Grim." He quickly grabbed the diamond sword Trayaurus had given him from his inventory.

Grim barked and leapt at the creeper. He bit the creeper in the side and bared his teeth, emitting a growl that sounded to Dan more like an actual wolf. The creeper flashed red as a sign of damage and jumped away from Grim.

"Good boy!" Dan called as he ran up and slashed the monster. Before it could muster up the chance to explode, Dan made the killing blow. With a final hiss, the green four-legged creature fell down and turned into a puff of smoke, leaving behind a pile of gunpowder. "That actually wasn't too bad," Dan said, sheathing his sword. He placed the gunpowder into his inventory. "Three down…nine more to go. Oh boy…"

Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm still figuring out , but I think I'm getting somewhere. This is an old fanfic I had archived in my old phone back when I was really into DanTDM's Custom Mod Adventures. I don't know a whole lot about Minecraft, so I usually ask my brother for help with the details. To be honest, I'm not so sure if this one will be good (or finished) but we'll just see what happens. Thanks for reading this far!
