Torches, placed at regular intervals along the tracks, lit up Daniel's face as he thought about what the message could mean. It could just be something general, like building plans or a chance to discuss the current lack of resources their server was suffering. Or it could be something more serious, like the possible threat of war.

A rival server, The Kingdom of Mythril, had been looking for a way to expand their borders, as their server, although having one of the largest populations in the universe, was one of the smallest servers in the universe.

But would they go to war?

That was the question that Daniel assumed Z was going to ask when he got there. He needed to have an answer before then.

The minecart grinded to a halt, stopping deep beneath one of the largest castles in the universe, the pride and joy of Daniel's server, Moriamuri – which everyone just called Muri. The castle had been built centuries in the past, for the king of the time, but it was now used as a home by the Admin.

Greeting one of the villagers who guarded the many entrances to the castle, who Daniel sadly didn't know the name of, he started ascending the many steps that led to the living quarters of Z.

After god knew how long, Daniel finally made it to the top of the stairs. Walking into the enormous meeting room that housed the entrance to the quarters, he looked around for Z. Nowhere. He walked up to the door, and pounded his fist against it.

"Z? Are you in there?" he shouted, and he heard a muffled sound from within the room. After a couple of seconds, the door opened, and a head poked out. Z smiled awkwardly at him, her black hair sticking up, just generally a mess, and Daniel could easily make out the fact that her left eye was bright green, completely different from her brown right eye.

"Hey, Daniel," she said, and Daniel's eyes widened.

"I swear to fucking god, if you're having sex right now," he began to say, and another head poked out from behind the door, but this time closer to the ground.

"Hey Daniel," Sasha said, her white hair tied back in a ponytail. He couldn't see anything beneath their necks, and Daniel just shook his head in disappointment.

"You wrote that note no more than an hour ago. You couldn't have waited?" he asked. Z stayed quiet.

"Finish whatever it is you're doing. I'll be waiting out here."

When the two came out of the quarters a little over fifteen minutes later, Daniel was sprawled out on top of the table. He sat straight up, at the sight of them, and Z shrugged at him. This only caused him to give them a dirtier look. Z was wearing a tight black leather jacket and dark blue jeans, and Sasha was wearing a white shirt and black shorts.

"What did you call me here for?" he asked, and Z's face became dark. Daniel already knew what it was.

"They've finally done it. They've declared war. Not even threatened, just straight up declared war!" she screamed the last word, and Daniel stepped back. The only person that he knew of that wasn't at least a little bit scared of the Admin was the general of the server's army, and her girlfriend, Sasha, but even she stepped back at this outburst.

"We just have to close down the portal before they get anyone in here," Daniel said, and Z nodded in agreement, but she was still obvious angry.

"I guess we had better head out now then," Sasha said, Z and Daniel nodding in agreement. They left within minutes.

They walked through the small town that surrounded the castle, and out into the dark forest that surrounded the entire village and castle. Luckily, it was day, so they didn't have to worry about any of the monsters of the world attacking them. The path that led through the forest eventually led to the original spawn of the server, where the portal back to the Hub World was.

"How do we close the portal?" Sasha asked, and Z shrugged. Daniel shook his head for the thousandth time that day.

"You're the bloody admin. You should know about these things," Daniel said, as he started searching for the hidden symbol that would allow for them to seal the server from the outside universe.

After several minutes, the sound of the portal activating startled Daniel. He looked up, and saw that Z and Sasha had already drawn their swords. A flash of light, and then the sound of someone hitting the ground with a thud.

It was someone that Daniel didn't recognise, and by the looks on the other's faces, they didn't know who it was either. The unknown player climbed to his feet, short blonde hair dirtied from where he hit the ground. He looked up, and jumped back in surprise at the three players looking at him, weapons raised.

"Who-who the hell are you?" he asked. "Where am I? What the hell happened to my bedroom?"

Daniel shook his head in dismay. A newbie.

"Who are you?" Daniel asked, and the boy – because that was what he was, he couldn't have been older than sixteen – looked at him.

"Al-Alex. Where am I?"

"You're in Minecraft, Alex. Good fucking job, you played the game too much. Now you're stuck."

Alex's eyes widened in horror, but Daniel stopped him.

"Actually, you might be able to leave. Try. Just imagine your bedroom and go there."

Alex tried. Nothing happened.

"Well, sucks for you. You're stuck."

After sealing the portal, Daniel walked over to where Alex was sitting on the ground, his head in his hands.

"You okay there, buddy?" he asked, and Alex shrugged.

"I had wished for this, but I didn't actually think it would happen. So this is Minecraft, eh?"

"Well, there are other servers, but for some reason this one is yours. You can't change that, unless you find a new server, but you can travel to others." Daniel paused. "Well, you would be able to, except we are in a war right now, so you won't be travelling anywhere for a while. Not until we have peace."

Alex nodded, a worried look on his face.

"But, hey. Look on the bright side! Unless another player kills you, you can't die!" Daniel said, and Alex smiled sadly at this.

"Well," Daniel corrected himself. "You can die, but you'll respawn, so it doesn't matter."

"It will hurt though."

I'm liking where this is going. Sorry if you're uncomfortable with the very sexually explicit scene there (that was sarcasm). Tell me what you think of the story so far. I like it, but I feel like I've introduced too many characters too quickly. To be fair, I've only introduced like five, but that still feels like its too much.

Review, favourite/follow if you want. Do whatever, really. It's your choice.

But you should review, even if you hated it. But tell me why, not just being a d*ckhead.

Also I need names for Servers. AND you can submit OCs for this story if you want.
