Steve walked out of his open door, smiling as the bright rays of the sun shone into his eyes, signifying a new day. And judging by the smell of burning flesh and bones, as well as an occasional scream of pain, it meant that he didn't need to worry about any mobs who had gotten to enthusiastic when trying to reach him.
So our miner went his daily routine, searching for supplies, finding minerals and above all surviving. Which he performed with a bright smile on his face.
Yep nothing could go wr-
Steve lurched forward into the tree he was cutting down, his head banged against the bark. There he felt an object that entered from the back of his head and the tip of said object coming out of his forehead. Instead of dying from having an arrow in his head or at least worried for his health, Steve just groaned in annoyance.
He summoned his sword, ignoring as a another arrow pierce his right shoulder. He turned away from the tree and casually deflected another arrow. Indigo eyes looked around him and saw the archer who was firing the arrows.
Standing underneath a tree, shading her from the sunlight was a smirking skeleton, at least if the bow and arrow along with the skeleton hat was an indication to her mob type.
Once more he groaned, walking towards the woman responsible. 'Her again' he observed in his head, easily deflecting arrow after arrow as he walked closer to her, who was firing them at a surprisingly rapid rate the closer he got.
As soon as he noticed he was within range, he bolted towards her and swung his sword downwards, causing her to stumble with the sounds of clanging bones. Steve didn't give her a chance to recover, he kept swinging his sword, interrupting her attempts to back away or to nock her bow.
One final blow killed the woman, she fell to the floor with a bone like clank, before dissolving into mist, leaving behind- you guessed it- bones, which Steve picked up. He then resumed going about his day.
Until another girl jumped from above.
"Ow" the fangs of the girl sunk deep into the back of his neck, her weight pushed the miner to his knees. Of course that didn't stop Steve from smacking her with flat side of his axe.
Without the girl pushing him, Steve rubbed the wound in irritation wincing slightly. "So, did I get ya?!" The attacker asked with a sharp grin showing his spider like fangs, obviously ignoring the glare he was giving her, it was almost at glaring as the sun in her eyes.
Steve brought his sword up and thrust it down, missing the girl just as she rolled to the side. The girl gave a hiss and bared her fangs before pouncing at him aiming for his neck again, her face however met with Steve's fist instead.
The girl jumped back and landed on her feet, slightly dazed. And couldn't much more than that when the miner ran her through with his sword, before he followed up with his violent hacking. She cursed to herself as Steve dealt the finishing blow and caused her to dissolve into mist.
Steve grumpily picked up the spider-eyes and the silk before resuming his day, again.
One daily routine later.
Steve picked up the final logs of wood for the day, the sun had set, the moon was rising and he could hear some zombies beginning to spawn. Best to get out of here before a mob takes an opp-
An arrow caught him right in between his eyes, sending the man stumbling back from the force. The arrow was quickly yanked out with his left hand, before he absorbed it in his inventory. He looked to the source, and let out an exasperated groan when he found it.
A skeleton was riding on the shoulders of a spider, both of them were smirking mischievously, somehow they managed to stand without trouble. Spider Jockeys, or at least the current form of them, were very annoying to deal with. When he thought it couldn't get worse he noticed that they were same skeleton and spider he had just killed that morning.
"Hah finally we got you" Both of them said at the same time. Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he contemplated on going peaceful, but went against it, he could easily handle these two. He opened his eyes, which widen when he saw the two were just two blocks in front of him.
"Hiya!" The spider announced "Biya!" The skeleton followed with rapidly firing her arrows. Steve dodged the arrows, moving from side to side. When he managed to get close the spider lunged forward, the skeleton gave a small "whee, while Steve gave an "AUGH" when she bit his face.
The miner backed off, the skeleton-spider duo did the same. Steve looked at the duo and just groaned again, "Well at least they act as their supposed to" he muttered to himself, he charged forward catching the two off-guard and swung his sword, strong enough for the two to be sent back two blocks, knocking them on their backs.
While the two recovering Steve took action, he turned around and ran, right towards the safety of his home.
Once the two on their feet, they pouted as they realised their target had run again. "Man that Steve no fun, whenever something hard comes up he just runs" Skeleton complained, getting off spider's shoulder.
"I know, he's also so quiet and boring, sometimes I think he can't even talk" added spider, she walked towards a nearby tree and proceeded to climb it so she could sit on its leaves. Skeleton cracked her neck and slung her bow behind her.
Then both of them grinned "Oh well, we'll just get him next time" both of them laughed.
Farther away Steve shivered, as a cold feeling crawled up his spine.
