Todd's POV

I wake up, nauseous. What happened is the first thing that comes into my mind. Minecon. Headset. Pain in neck. What happened after that. I suppose I fainted. I open my eyes. I see the sky. I notice it's light blue. The colour seems unnatural. Then I notice that I'm staring at the sun without hurting my eyes. My nausea fades away, and then I notice it. The sun is square. "WHAT!" I scream. I get up and see that I was right. I'm in what appears to be minecraft. How? What? Is this a dream? But, it feels too real. I get up, feeling both weird and excited. Well, whatever this is, let's just play.

I'm in a small plains, surrounded by forest. I walk to the closest forest and punch a tree. Ouch, that hurts more than expected. I knock it more gently and after a few knocks it see it starting to break. This is really weird. The texture is like wood, but it's cracking like it's made out of glass. With gentle punches it starts to show little cracks, but after I continue they spread over the rest of the block. And then the block shatters, implodes, and leaves behind a cute little wood block.

Then I start wondering how to pick it up. Like, I don't have a magical inventory to put it in, right? I touch the item and poof, it vanishes. But it's not gone. I feel energy moving through my body from my hand up to my hearth. Suddenly a picture appears into my mind. An empty inventory with 1 wooden block. Is this just a thought, something I imagined just because it seems logical? Or is it, like, the real thing?

I decide to cut down the rest of the tree first, and I start to get a little more comfortable with punching wood. Ok, now I have 6 logs. Or I feel like I have them at least, as they all vanished. Now, I have to switch to the right slot. I just imagine switching through my 'hotbar' and, to my surprise, it works. "I'm like a badass ninja, able to fully control his surroundings by using only his mind. Yeah!" I think, and apparently I also said it out loud, as I hear a voice behind me.

"Yeah, like you're the one doing that. It's just happening because the game is coded to do so." "Aaaah!" Then I turn around and see Josh laughing. "Dude, don't scare me like that." I say. He laughs even more. "You should have seen your face, I scared the crap out of you." I can't help but also start laughing.

After a while we calm down, and Josh starts talking. "So, you also ended up in this place." "Yeah, everyone is probably somewhere around here. I wonder how?" "It's really strange. I've just been walking around, I see you have already demolished a tree." "It's not like anyone's gonna miss it. But yeah, you can punch trees in this. I was just about to try to do something with it." "Something like your secret ninja skills?" I turn red and he starts laughing. "Man, he's gonna keep making fun of me with this for years." I think, remembering all the times I did the same thing to him. Then I try to turn the wood into planks. And poof, there are my planks. "I throw some at him and say "Well, I haven't seen you doing anything yet. Here, make a crafting bench." "Well," he says, clearly unsure how to do so, "ok, I'll try."

I watch him try for a few minutes, and then I start cutting down another tree. After that I turn it into planks and make a workbench out of them. When I get back to Josh he has just found out how to craft, and proudly he shows me his planks. "Now all I have to do is turn them into a crafting table." "Not necessary," I say as a throw down mine, "I've already made one." "Aw c'mon. I had just about figured it out myself." Then he realizes that I'm laughing at him. "Whatever, let's make some tools."
