Chapter 21

The World

Ever heard of a game called Dark Souls?

I got the second game a while ago, but I only started playing recently. It's a hard game, but growing stronger and killing bosses is really satisfying. Also, I'd like to apologize for the delays in chapters that keeps happening. I get busy quite often and sometimes I don't get time to work on chapters at all, for almost the whole week.

But enough of my excuses, let's keep going!

A server admin?

"You wouldn't become a real admin immediately though." JoshJ said.

My ears perked up, the intail shock would have to wait, this is what I wanted to know. Is there really such things as tier admins?

"What do you mean?" I asked. "Am I going to become like, half an admin or something?"

He shook his characters head. "No, I mean you're going to have to become a third-tier admin."

I knew it, there several tiers of admins, now I need to find out what the difference is.

"There are four tiers of admins," JoshJ explained. "A third-tier admin is someone who has recently joined the admin ranks. They will have higher tier admins watch over them and teach them how to work as an admin. Once you've proven yourself, you become a second-tier admin. This rank gives you more freedom, and more control over the server, but you still are monitored and have to prove your a value to the server by helping people in the community. Then there's First-tier admin, which no longer needs monitoring, they have almost all control an admin can have and can use exclusive admin areas freely."

"So there are rules about admins and what they can do right?" Vanessa asked from behind me.

"Yes, that's true." JoshJ said. "When you begin the work of an admin, until First-Tier. You cannot build homes of your own, this is so we make sure admins don't grief and cause trouble to players. An admin, cannot be biased in decisions and choose what is best for the server in problematic situations, and admins are in no way allowed to hurt, kill, or extort other players for anything like land or items. Breaking these rules can send you down the ranks f admins and even strip you of your admin status."

Thinking about the rules reminded me of MindMoldy. He ended up breaking all of those rules when we encountered him; he threatened us so he could have our land, tried to kill me and Vanessa, and harmed me and my mineshaft in the fight. That guy was lucky we didn't report him. Then a thought crossed my mind after thinking over his explanation.

"You said there were four admin tiers right? You only listed three." I said, he looked at me for a second before responding.

"Right, I had forgotten, silly me. The finale tier of admins is known as a Top-Tier admin. However, you can't get this tier by simply working hard. Top-Tier admins are the most trusted people in the server according to the server owner. This server only has four Top-Tier Admins and one owner. Top-Tier admins have the most control over the server, and can even ban players without the need for a consensus like most First-Tier admins require. They also get some small perks for the title as well. For example, they get a purple name above their head."

Purple name...

This guy was a Top-Tier Admin. I didn't know what to do now, I had gotten all of my answers and all that's left is figuring out if I want to be an admin on this server or not. Being an admin did sound nice, but it came with a lot of responsibilities I wasn't sure I was up for. I didn't know what to decide on.

"You seem like you need time to think," JoshJ said turning his back and. "I'll be back on the server in about 5 days, you can give an answer then. Right now I need to attend some work with Brandon once he gets back." he began walking before he stopped and turned around. " Right, I didn't say it before and it seems like you didn't catch on, but I am also inviting Torch to be an admin as well. So have a good day." with that, teleported away.

"M-me, an admin?" Vanessa said from her laptop. It was true, I couldn't imagine Vanessa as an admin with her shy attitude when it came to new people. However, if she wasn't shy around other people, I'm sure she would do a great job.

"Well, I think you can do it. However, I definitely think we need time to think about this." I said. Vanessa looked at me and shook her head quickly. "T-thanks, but being an admin just isn't for me."

"I know what you mean," I replied. "as fun as it sounds, I don't like the idea of the training. I want to use the server to build and stuff like in a normal game, I don't want that responsibility if those are my restrictions."

I looked to my screen and noticed we were kicked out of the server, the text on the screen read.

"Sorry, can't let you stay there, but contact me at this email if you have more questions: JJosh1234 "

"At least I have a way to turn him down immediately." I thought to myself.

"Alright Vanessa, let's go back on the server and try and get more materials. I want to visit the nether and see if people have destroyed or not."

"Sure thing Andrew." Vanessa replied. A few hours passed before we decided that it was time to log off. We were only missing obsidian at this point so I hoped that we could travel next session. I decided to email the top-tier admin and turn down the invitation.

10 minutes after a sent an email to him, I got a reply.

"I understand your reasoning, but I seem to have miscommunicated something to you. I asked if you wanted to be the admin of a sever not this server. I must have forgotten to say that."

"Then which server did you mean then?" I asked. Soon enough I received a reply.

"I want you to be the admin of The World server."

The World server?

"I don't know that server, what is it?"

"Really? I guess you must not have been in the news for a while. The World server is the biggest server in all of Minecraft. It runs and lets everyone in the world go on it since it's the only server that has the ability to translate any language into whatever language your game is set to. That's why it's called 'The World' because people everywhere on the globe play it."

Me? An admin of a server like that?

"How can you make me an admin of a server like that if it's such a important server?"

"Well that is because I am a top-tier admin of that server as well, the owner of the server is my brother."

What was this guy?

"I apologize, but I must go run some more errands. You still have five days to give an answer."

What was happening today?

After some time processing the information I was given, I finally remembered Vanessa was in the living room watching TV, I had to tell her about the news I received. I walked downstairs and found her on her laptop, with a concerned look on her face.

"Something up Vanessa?" I asked. She jolted up from her seat and closed her laptop.

"A-Andrew! S-sorry, I was just... uh, reading the news!"

She was a horrible liar. However, I didn't want to snoop if it was something about her family.

"Oh, alright. I just learned about The World server." I said, and explained the situation. She definitely seemed more focused on whatever she was looking at before.

"O-oh, well that means your problem from before is away! I bet you could be a great admin there." she said, her face could very clearly show that she was worried about something.

"Yeah...," I replied, I was about to say something before Vanessa cut me off.

"I just checked the fridge and we are out of some food, so I'm going to go out and get some okay?

"Alright..." I replied, and Vanessa quickly grabbed her stuff and left the house.

She was obviously lying, I went to the fridge to find all of the foods still there. What was she planning? I had to follow her. I grabbed my things and ran outside. I found Vanessa and began to trail her, soon enough we reached the park. It was easier to stay hidden since the sun was gone by this point, and Vanessa stood underneath a lamp post. Then, three older men came from all sides.

"Wha- where's my brother?" she asked one of the men.

That girl... what was with her and her asshole of a brother?

"Sorry little whore, but we need to take you home now." one of the men said.

The three men closed in on her.

"Please... no I don't want to go back, I just want to see him again!" Vanessa said, vainly trying to move away from the men concering her.

It was about time I showed them what happens when they mess with my Vanessa.

So, this happened huh?

This section is mostly here because I spent most of the day watching fighting animation on YouTube, and I missed writing fighting scenes, so the nest chapter is going to be mostly that.

Also, another thing I should definitely mention before I leave you guys without a chapter without explanation.

Summer school starts Monday, and because I choose a class that will probably require a lot of focus and studying since I want to pass that class. So I doubt I will be able to write very often. However, maybe I'm wrong about this and this won't change a thing about and chapters won't be delayed. All depends.

So please look forward to the nest chapter.
