PROLOUGE
"Where am I?" A strange voice echoed. The man who made this sound, was none other than the devil himself, Herobrine. Herobrine had just awoken, and found himself in total blackness. He had desperately searched around, until suddenly, he stopped. He grasped his head, where what looked broken horns rested on his head. "Notch…i'm coming for you" Was the last thing he said, before a massive explosion shook the earth.
CHAPTER ONE
THREE WEEKS LATER.
Daniel McGarden awoke to the sound of chirping birds. He slowly opened his eyes and realized "It' Saturday!" He screamed, jumping out of bed. He surveyed his room. It was a 6x6x6 cube made of oak wood. Directly to his right, his double chest sat awaiting. He had a 4x4 bookshelf pushed against the wall. It held everything from Legends and Lore of Xenothan to DIARY OF A 8-BIT WARRIOR. He walked over too the entrance of his room and stepped out. As he walked down the stairs, he smelled chocolatey deliciousness. "Waffles!" He screamed sprinting down the stairs. Somehow, he tripped over the last step and fell face first into the kitchen. He groggily stood up and looked around. The 9x9x9 cube was made of the of oak wood, but it was different in many ways. There were kitchen supplies and batter everywhere, creating an excessively big mess. He walked over to an oak table and sat down. "Hey there son," his dad, Tom McGarden said his blue eyes twinkling. His father was a very fit man, with a scruffy beard and immeasurable kindness. "Hey dad, are you making waffles?" Daniel replied. "Yes, I am," his dad replied. "Do you want some?" His dad asked. "Yes!" Daniel replied. "Well too bad, they're mine." His dad said. "Whaaaatt?" Daniel moped. "Just kidding," his dad said. He then walked over too Daniel and placed a tower of steaming hot waffles in front of him. Daniel started tearing into the waffles with a vengeance. His dad, trying too to avoid flying bits of waffle said "Daniel, we need to talk," Daniel, looking up at his father noticed he was wearing his enchanted ultmanium armor. It was a hundred times stronger than diamond but was enchanted with Thorns X for offense. "Sure dad, what's up?" Daniel replied cautiously. "We're going to Kenzack." His dad said gravely. "Dad we have to go through The Endless Woods! Have you lost your mind!" Daniel screamed, completely forgetting his waffles. "There has been a suspicion that one of the Six Creatures of Undeath lives there!" Daniel continued. "It's the only way to keep everybody Safe!" His dad screamed. "Do you think I want to go there!" His dad said. "But dad- "Daniel started to say. "No, you're going whether you like it or not," His dad said. "Arrrrrgggghhh!" Daniel screamed, running up the stairs and replacing the entrance to his room with wood blocks. Daniel muttered to himself in his room. "Dad, going through the freaking Endless Woods is a death wish, have you lost your mind!" He continued muttering like that for another hour when he heard a knock at the front door. "I'll get it!" Daniel screamed, mining the wood blocks, and racing through the house. When he arrived at the front door, his dad was nowhere to be seen. He opened the door anyway. It was Nigel. He had been Daniel's best friend since they learned how to talk. "Here Daniel, for the trip," Nigel said handing him something wrapped in a blanket. Daniel wondered how Nigel knew about the trip but dismissed the thought as soon as it came to his mind. He opened the blanket and found an Enchanted Diamond Sword. "Oh Nigel, you didn't have to get me this," Daniel said. "Yes, I did, you could get killed at any time. But this could save your life." "Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence, you could get killed at any time." Daniel replied snarkily. "Seriously, 95 deaths have occurred in The Endless Woods." Nigel replied in a huff. "What enchantments are on this sword?" Daniel asked. "Sharpness V and Fire Aspect II." Nigel said. "Wow," Daniel said. "Want to walk around?" Daniel asked. "Sure," Nigel said. Daniel and Nigel walked over to Tattoo's and Who's . The tattoo parlor just down the street. When they entered, the accustomed bell ringing, they surveyed the area. It was an 8x8x8 cube made of brick. To there right, designs covered the entire wall. At the back, there was a chair. To there left, the was a marble counter from which a young man stepped from. "My name is Connor, are you here for a tattoo?" Connor had yellow eyes like a cat, a little bit of stubble on his chin, and a very tan body. "Are you a cat demi-human?" Daniel asked. "Yes I am," Connor replied. "Okay," Daniel said while looking at the designs. He eventually picked a firey skull on his arm, and a black and purple dragon on his back. "Please sit in the chair and I will give you the rules." Connor said motioning with his arm to the chair in the back of the shop. Daniel obliged. "One, the tattoos can be dispelled at any time." Connor said. "Okay" Daniel said. Daniel felt tingling on his arm and back. "Please look in the mirror." Connor said. Daniel did as instruct and sure enough, there was a dragon curling from his side to his neck and a skull on his arm. "Thank you," Daniel said. "My pleasure, that'll be five gold coins." Connor said. Daniel dug around in his pocket and found seven gold coins and handed them to the man. "Keep the change." Daniel said as they exited the parlor. "Where do you want to go next?" Daniel asked Nigel. "The bookstore!" Nigel declared dragging Daniel behind him. When they found Lex Libris, the bookstore. When they entered the 25x25x25 wood square, they were faced by rows and rows of bookshelves. Nigel immediately ran into the shelves leaving Daniel alone. He also ventured into the bookshelves. He found the latest diary of an 8-bit warrior book called: bound by blood. He started reading it. It was interesting, and he soon became lost in the book. Just as he finished reading it, a loud explosion shook the building, knocking Daniel off his feet. As he sat up, his ears ringing, he saw a man in a black cloak step through the gaping hole in the bookstore wall. Ten other men stepped through after him. He saw the owner run up to the man in the cloak. The owner was stabbed through the gut, and poofed. Suddenly, rough hands grabbed him and pulled him up. It was his dad. "We have to go!" His dad's gruff voice sounded in his ear. "But Nigel," Daniel said. "He's dead, come on let's go!" His dad said. "He can't be dead," Daniel said his eyes brimming with tears. "He's not dead I don't believe you!" Daniel screamed, tears streaking his face. "Daniel, we have to go!" His dad's urgent voice sounded in his ear. "No, I'm not going anywhere with you!" Daniel screamed, breaking free of his dad's grip, and punching him in the face. Suddenly, before the fight could escalate, something hit Daniel in the back of the head, knocking him out. When Daniel awoke with a throbbing pain in the back of the head, he realized he was tied up in a 9x9x9 carriage made of wool. Surprisingly, his dad was tied up with him and was still asleep. He heard a voice behind him "Aah, so you're awake now." The figure strolled around him and got right in is face. "My name's Jack, and you're going to obey me." Jack was dressed in diamond plate armor with an aether-stone broadsword slung across his back. "No chance," Daniel replied. "What did you say?" Jack said. "I ought to- "Jack started. "I'll take it from here Jack." An unknown voice said from the shadows. Jack scrambled away from the voice and ran out the door that Daniel had not noticed. Then the figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Herobrine. "Well hello Daniel," Herobrine said. Just as he was about to ask Herobrine how he knew his name, his dad chose that exact moment to wake up. "Son I just want- "His dad started to say but stopped when he saw Herobrine. "Well well well, what do we have here?" Herobrine said. "I see food," Herobrine said and stabbed his dad through the gut with a black and white scythe. "Dad!" Daniel screamed as his dad hit the ground and poofed. Herobrine looked over to Daniel. "I guess I could eat you to," Herobrine said. He brought his scythe down but Daniel moved in such a way that the scythe cur his bonds. He then leaped up, diamond sword in hand. "It's over Herobrine!" Daniel screamed. "Oh? The rat has a weapon," Herobrine said. Daniel wasted no time and charged him, swinging his sword. Herobrine easily blocked his swing and slammed Daniel in the chest withhis fist. Daniel flew backward and landed in a heap. He shakily got up and ran towards Herobrine. He dodged underneath Herobrine's swing and stabbed him in the chest. "You really think you could kill me?" Herobrine said, totally unfazed that there was a sword embedded in his gut. Daniel frantically pulled the sword out of Herobrine's gut and edged backward. Herobrine , seeing the advantage, ran forward swinging his scythe. Daniel frantically ran backward, before he tripped over his own feet and landed on the grass. In a moment, Herobrine had pinned Daniel on the ground. "Just give up now, and you will get a quick painless death," Herobrine said. "I'll… never… give up!" Daniel said and, his arms started moving in a glowing pattern without his control. Herobrine looked schocked. It eventually formed a massive glowing cannon that blasted Herobrine up into the sky, "How did you learn thaaattttt!" Herobrine screamed as he flew head over heels away from Daniel. Daniel suddenly felt woozy, and the last thing he saw was a person emerging from the underbrush.
CHAPTER TWO
Daniel awoke to find a blonde-haired man standing over him. "Waah!" Daniel shouted, flailing around. "Relax, I don't want to hurt you," the man's soothing voice said. "Why should I trust you?" Daniel asked. "Because I saved your life," the man said, and pointed down to a wound on his midsection. "Oh, okay what's you name?" Daniel asked. "Kyle, my name is Kyle," the man said. "Okay Kyle, could you help me up?" Daniel asked. "Sure," Kyle said and pulled Daniel up. "Uh, quick question, where are we?" Daniel asked. "In the exact same spot, you fell down," Kyle answered. Daniel looked around. Sure enough, his Diamond Sword was lying a few blocks away, and the carriage was burning. He turned back to Kyle. "You ready to go?" Daniel asked. Kyle snorted. "I've been ready since you got up." Suddenly, a blue box appeared in front of Daniel. It read:
LEVEL UP!
Your level has increased to two!
1 Stat Coin
1 Class Coin
3 Skill Coin
"What's wrong?" Kyle asked. "Um, I apparently leveled up?" Daniel said. Suddenly, a sound like nails on a chalkboard combined with an insane man screaming, came from behind them. Daniel felt his blood run cold. "Run!" Kyle screamed, and sprinted away into the underbrush. "Wait for me!" Daniel hollered, and sprinted after Kyle. They sprinted through the underbrush for what felt like hours, the screeching noise persistent. Suddenly, they saw a bright light shining through the trees. They sprinted out of the forest and saw a gigantic stone castle looming up ahead. It had six towers, each occupied by guards. Then the thing ran out of the forest. It was made up of limbs, each grasping at invisible things. Its core, was a bunch of tangled micro-blocks, forming a disgusting mouth. Suddenly, an arrow struck the monster in its core, causing the monster to cry out in pain. A guard yelled down from above, "Hurry, come inside while it's distracted!" They heard a massive door opening. They hurried inside. The castle was a small town with a cobblestone street leading away from them. Suddenly, a man landed beside them. "My name's Alex, and we have to get you guys somewhere safe!" The woman exclaimed and raced down the street. Daniel and Kyle followed. They eventually arrived at a 9x9x9 obsidian shelter with double iron doors. Alex pressed something, and the doors swung open. Daniel and Kyle hurried inside. Alex followed them. "What are you doing?" Daniel asked. "I've been asked to protect you," Alex said. "Oh, so Kyle, about the Coins…," Daniel trailed off. "Ah, so we're bringing this up again," Kyle said. "Okay, so you have five stats. Strength, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Dexterity. If you, as an example, put one point in strength, you will become stronger." "Ah, I get it, if you put one point in a stat, you will be stronger, smarter, have more magic power, and be very hard to hit." Daniel said. "Exactly," Kyle answered. "So, with your Class, it is your profession, your skillset." Kyle said. "Ah," Daniel replied. "So, your skills, are something that someone may use to deal extra damage, or protect someone," Kyle said. "Got it," Daniel replied. "How do I use the Coins?" Daniel asked. "Just hold it in your hand and think of the thing you want," Kyle instructed. Daniel did as instructed and pulled out the Class Coin. He put it in his hand and thought, class. Suddenly, a glowing blue screen appeared in front of Daniel. It held a bunch of Classes. He saw everything from barbarians to wizards. As he looked through it, one class caught his eye. It read:
REAPER
Emerging from the shadows, the reaper stabs a man in the back. The reaper, fights a demonic warlord with nothing but a sword. The reaper casts a death spell that destroys his opponents. The Reaper is a mix of rouge, Fighter, and Wizard. The reaper levels slowly, but in high levels, the Reaper is almost untouchable.
Daniel read the page over several times and could not believe his eyes. Reaper is a mix of classes! Daniel thought to himself. This is my class. Daniel thought and selected Reaper. Daniel was suddenly surrounded by a bright light. "What's happening!" Daniel screamed. "You're changing into your class, don't worry it will be over in a second!" Kyle screamed back. Suddenly, the bright light dissipated. Daniel examined himself. He had on black leather armor that covered him head to toe. He also had a black cape that covered his head and went down to his feet. He looked in his inventory and found five throwing knives and a sword. Suddenly, they heard a scraping sound across the roof. One long tentacle wormed through the blocks and grabbed Alex, pulling him up out of the shelter. "AAAAGGGH!" Alex screamed, and then they heard churching and tearing sounds. Daniel was horrified. But he steeled his nerves and pulled out his sword. He ran over to the iron doors, and after many attempts, finally got them open. He ran out screaming, and then stopped dead in his tracks. The houses were burning, and there were monsters everywhere. Kyle ran out behind him. Suddenly, a spear pierced Kyle through his head shooting him backwards. "NO!" Daniel screamed, running over to Kyle. But when he got there, there was just a spear lying on the ground. Daniel looked back at the monsters, and saw red. He charged forward, pulling out his swords, and stabbing them into the nearest monster. The monster poofed, but Daniel didn't care. He pulled out his throwing knives, and threw them at the monsters. They hit dead center and poofed five monsters. Daniel ran over and snatched up the knives, and threw them at another group. They poofed more monsters. He stabbed a monster with his swords, poofing it. All the monsters turned towards Daniel. Daniel jumped into the sea of monsters. He slashed and hacked, poofing the monsters. Xp flowed into him like waves. He was a killing machine, killing the monsters. Eventually, he stood in the middle of an empty castle. Daniel looked around. There were no monsters in sight. The red haze lifted. Daniel suddenly felt tired. He walked over to a partially destroyed building and sat down. Daniel then slipped in unconsciousness. When Daniel awoke, he looked around. The castle was still destroyed. So, it was not a dream, Daniel thought to himself. He sat up and yawned. He spotted something interesting. Is that a horse stable? Daniel thought to himself. He walked over and found it was in fact, a horse stable. He looked around, and found a jet-black horse. He walked over and petted it's nose. The horse whinnied and rubbed it's nose against him. He spotted a chest and opened it. It held a saddle and a stack of apples. He placed them both in his inventory. He walked back to the horse and pulled out an apple and offered it to the horse. The horse gobbled It up. He walked into the cage and put the saddle on the horse. The horse whinnied and snorted, but calmed down when Daniel fed it another apple. "What should I name you?" Daniel thought aloud. "How about Shadow?" Daniel asked. The horse slammed into him, knocking him down. "Okay, you don't like the name Shadow. How about Nightmare?" Daniel asked the Horse. The horse nuzzled up against him, neighing. "Okay Nightmare let's go!" Daniel hollered and mounted his horse. He kicked his heels into the horse, and raced away from the castle, into the unknown.
CHAPTER THREE
Daniel gripped the horse's reins, slowing it down. Daniel hopped of his horse and looked around. He was in a forest with massive 60-block high trees. Daniel lead the horse over to a tree and tied the horse there. Daniel climbed up the tree using the branches, searching for a place to rest. He eventually found a massive branch and laid down on it. Daniel pulled out two pictures from his inventory. The first one he looked at, was when he and his dad went on a vacation to Eden. Daniel remembered Eden as a place filled with beautiful waterfalls and resorts. The picture had Daniel laughing, as his dad was hugging him, his eyes sparkling with laughter. Suddenly, Daniel started crying. "Dad, don't leave me!" He cried, tears streaming down his cheeks. Daniel continued crying for a few more minutes, before getting it back under control, and looking at the second picture. He and Nigel had just had a sleepover, and Nigel was crushing Daniel with a hug, and Daniel was laughing. Tears began making there way down his cheeks. "Nigel, you were my best friend in the world," Daniel said, crying. Daniel continued crying, until he laid down and closed his eyes. Daniel eventually fell asleep. Daniel slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a few times, before sitting up and stretching. He felt the bones in his spine crack and pop. Daniel then climbed down and started doing his morning workout. Daniel sat down and extended his knees. He then proceeded to do 40 crunches. After that was done, Daniel turned over and did 40 push-ups. Daniel just barely finished the push-ups and lay there, gasping for breath. He slowly got up and walked over to the horse. Expect, the horse was gone. Daniel searched around the tree and ventured into the woods to find it. After several hours of searching, Daniel gave up and turned back to go home. Daniel looked around. He was lost! Suddenly, an apple hit him on the head. "Ow!" Daniel exclaimed and looked up. There was a monkey chittering above him. Daniel picked up the apple and hurled it at the monkey. It hit the monkey on the head doing nothing to it. The monkey glared at him and hurled a barrage of apples at Daniel. Daniel held his ground, grabbing the apples, and throwing them back at the monkey. The monkey screeched and ran away. "Yeah that's right you better run!" Daniel screamed at the retreating monkey. Suddenly, monkeys appeared out of the branches, all of them glaring at him. "uh-oh," Daniel said as the monkeys converged on him. Daniel found himself hog-tied to a branch, over a hot fire with screeching monkeys all around him with nothing but trees surrounding him. "How do I get myself into these messes?" Daniel asked himself. Suddenly, the screeching stopped. Daniel looked up to see a massive 10-block tall monkey step out of the forest. The monkey was black, with stripes of gold running along his body. It started screeching, and the monkeys listened intently. The large monkey eventually finished. And the monkeys resumed screeching, louder than before. The large monkey stepped forward; Daniel decided to name him Jerry. Jerry walked slowly over to Daniel, when he got there, he stooped down to look at him. Jerry studied him for a moment, then screeched in his face. Daniel gagged at how Jerry's breath stunk. The monkey turned and walked back to the forest. The monkeys looked at Jerry and him. Suddenly, they advanced forward, carrying what looked like knives, and had murderous looks in their eyes. Daniel groaned. "How do I get myself into these messes?" He thought aloud. The monkeys got closer and closer, until they stopped. The monkeys screeched, turned, and ran away. Daniel slowly tuned his head. There was a 5 block tall saber-tooth tiger standing there, growling. Suddenly, thousands of monkeys erupted from the trees, each one carrying a spear. The tiger roared and slashed at the monkeys. Daniel watched in awe, as the monkeys were slaughtered mercilessly by the tiger. Daniel shook out of his stupor, and started wiggling, trying to escape. He wiggled for a few more moments, then gave up and looked around. Daniel saw a knife that a monkey must have dropped while running away. Daniel stretched, reaching towards the knife, that was only a few blocks away. Daniel wiggled and stretched, just barely touching the knife. Yes, progress! He thought to himself. He continued stretching and wiggling, and just as his whole foot touched the knife, the tiger slaughtered the last monkey. Daniel looked up to see the monster growling and walking forward. A bolt of white lightning suddenly flew out of the trees and hit the huge cat. The cat meweld and glared at the trees. Daniel saw Jerry emerge from the tree line, a staff in hand. Daniel mentally fist pumped and thought Thanks Jerry! Daniel then returned to trying to grab the knife. Within a few minutes, Daniel had the knife in hand, and was cutting his bonds. Daniel finally cut his bonds and fell to the ground with a thump. Daniel rubbed his sore wrists and stood up. Daniel saw the cat lunge forward and grab Jerry in it's jaws, killing the monkey. The cat turned to Daniel, it's eyes blazing with hate. "Nice kitty, nice kitty," Daniel said to the cat. The cat roared and raced towards Daniel. Daniel screamed and ran into the forest. Daniel ran through the forest, his food bar slowly depleting. Suddenly, he skidded to a halt. He was standing over a massive water-filled ravine! He looked back and saw the cat racing towards him. Then he looked at the ravine. Then he looked at the cat. Then he looked at the ravine. Finally, he jumped. Daniel plummeted downwards, screaming. He hit the water with a splash! Daniel struggled to the surface, gasping and coughing. He floated there on the rushing water for what felt like hours, the water giving him a ride, while watching his health bar regenerate. Finally, when his health bar was full, he turned over on his stomach, and started swimming. He saw a large piece of wood float downstream. He grabbed onto it and crawled up onto it. Daniel watched the sun go down, and then somehow fell asleep. He woke up with his make-shift boat bumping up against the shore. He slowly crawled onto the land and stood up. He looked around. He was in a massive cave, with precious metals like Lithium carbonite and Admantium sparkled all around him. He steeped farther into the cave, mesmerized by the sparkle. Suddenly, the started shaking, and one part of the cave wall crumbled. Daniel backed away from the cave. Suddenly, a taloned hand grabbed him and pulled him into the cave. Suddenly, glowstone active and the entire cave was filled with light. Daniel looked up, and found himself staring into the Red eyes of a massive, grey dragon.
CHAPTER FOUR
Daniel stared in awe as the dragon revealed itself. It was 40 blocks long, and 20 blocks tall. "What are you doing in my cave?" the dragon asked. It's voice rumbling like thunder. "I-I washed up here?" Daniel answered, his voice a girlish squeak. "Wrong answer!" The dragon roared, and brought Daniel closer to it's gaping maw. Daniel felt his form glitch, and he saw his body turn black, then normal. The dragon gasped, and almost dropped Daniel. "Are you the Knull?" The dragon asked, while staring at him with wide eyes. "Um, who's the "Knull" Daniel asked. The dragon him, and he hit the ground with a crunch. The dragon drew his face within a block of Daniel's and said "You seriously don't know the Knull is?" "Nope," Daniel said. The dragon stared at him again. The dragon said "Yes, you are the Knull, you have the same aura," The dragon said. "How do you know?" Daniel asked. "Simple," the dragon said "I scanned you aura," The dragon continued, as if everybody knew what the heck an aura is. "Okaaay? So what's an aura?" Daniel asked. The dragon gasped, "You don't know what an aura is?" "Yes!" Daniel said. "Okay," The dragon said. "Your aura shows how much power you have, and depending on your element, like say, you were a water element, you would have a blue aura." The dragon said. "You have a very large black aura," The dragon continued. Suddenly, Daniel was overcome with a splitting headache. Daniel suddenly saw something that made him gasp. Herobrine was floating above a large stone castle, while a large horde of black destroyed the castle. Daniel suddenly fell to the ground with the dragon looming over him. Daniel felt an overwhelming hatred towards Herobrine. He looked up at the dragon above him, and asked "Will you train me to defeat Herobrine? The dragon looked down, and said "Yes,"
CHAPTER FIVE
Daniel groaned as he did push-ups with a hundred pounds of stone on his back. "99...100!" Daniel pushed the stone off his back and onto the ground. The dragon walked up to him and said "Shower, then meet me in the dining room," then the dragon stalked off. Daniel stood up, then walked to the showers. The shower room was a simple 6x6x6 stone room with a depression in the center and glass mirrors on the left side. Daniel stripped off his sweaty clothes and walked into the depression and suddenly, water fell from the roof. Daniel luxuriated in the warmth of the water. After Daniel had showered, he wrapped a towel around himself and looked at himself in the mirror. He ran a hand through his white hair. He looked at his gray and black eyes. He then marched over to his room. It was a 6x6x6 stone room with a bookshelf on the left side and a bed on the right side. He walked over to a chest and opened it. He pulled out a black shirt and black pants. He put them on and walked to the dining room. It was a 14x14x14 stone room with a long banquet table. Daniel pulled out a seat and sat down. A few minutes later, the dragon arrived with a few people in tow. They all took a seat, expect for the dragon. "Who are these people?" Daniel asked. "They are people I am training." The dragon answered. Daniel noticed somebody who stood apart from the group. Is that...Nigel? Daniel wondered. Indeed it was. "Nigel!" Daniel said and went forward to hug him. "Daniel!" Nigel said and hugged Daniel. "How are you!?" Daniel said, his eyes beginning to water. "How are you!?" Nigel asked back. "I'm fine," Daniel replied. "Anyway," The dragon said, "we are all hungry, so let's eat!" The dragon said and plates heaped full of delicious food appeared on the table. Everyone started to chow down, until the dragon said "Let's introduce ourselves! Let's start with you!" The dragon continued and pointed to the farthest person from him. "Um...my name is THEBUBBLE2571 and I want to be a hero, an you can call me BUBBLE for short," BUBBLE said. "Excellent!" The dragon said and pointed to the next person. "My name is ChatterBoi534 and I want to get stronger," Chatter said. Then the next person introduced themselves. "My namesh BlehWarrior601 and I want to fight against the demons," Bleh said. "My name is Doomsday warrior9361 and I want to join the army," Doomsday said. Then it was Daniel's turn. "My name is Daniel and I want to kill Herobrine," Those words were followed by a hush all around the room. Daniel felt a slight pressure on his neck, and the feeling of someone blowing on it "My name is The_Seductress and I think it's so brave that you want to fight Herobrine," said a distinctly female voice from behind him. Daniel turned around and saw a girl with blonde hair and emerald eyes. He removed her from him and stood up. He grabbed a plate of food and stalked back to his room. He sat on his bed eating quietly. Why did the dragon take on his apprentices? I know that i'm almost done with my training, but I thought he would finish training me, and then take on another apprentice? Daniel thought about all these things, before giving up and going to bed. Daniel got out of bed extra early, to go practice his sword fighting. Daniel changed into pants and a shirt, and went to the arena. The arena was a 24x24x24 stone circle with a dummy in the middle. Daniel stepped into the arena and grabbed a diamond sword from the rack. He ran towards the dummy, and began a series of slashes and hacks. Suddenly, the dummy reared up and threw a sword at Daniel. Daniel ducked under the sword, and continued to run towards the dummy. When Daniel was close to the dummy, the dummy pulled out a wooden shield and bashed Daniel backwards. He flew a couple blocks in the air, and hit the ground hard. Daniel groaned and slowly stood up. He gritted his teeth, and ran towards the dummy again. He jumped over the dummy's shield bash, and sliced it in the head. The dummy wobbled for a second, then the shield bashed him. Daniel hit the ground and he heard a crack from underneath him. Daniel groaned. He slowly stood up, holding his left arm. The dummy started walking towards him, it's shield ready. It loomed over Daniel, it's shield ready to crush him. The dummy raised it's shield, and brought it down on Daniel. Daniel coughed out blood as the shield crushed him. The dummy brought it's shield back to it's side and turned it's back on Daniel and walked away. Suddenly, the dummy was split in half by a diamond sword. Daniel sank to the ground, his energy exhausted. He slowly stood up and walked over to a chest on the side of the room and opened it. He pulled out a healing potion and drank it. He then walked out of the arena to his room. He walked into his room, and changed into a black shirt and black pants. He then walked into the eating room. He took a seat at the table. Seconds later, everybody else arrived. They all sat down, and Daniel made sure to stay far away The_Seductress. The dragon strolled in, and they all started to eat the food in silence. 20 Minutes later, Daniel finished eating, and just sat there, enjoying the meal. He listened to everybody talking. Daniel was keeping an eye out for The_Seductress. He finally spotted her on the other side of the table, eying him with a hungry look. Suddenly, BlehWarrior601 walked up to him and said
"Why should you be able to battle train?"
"Because I have been the dragon's apprentice longer than you," Daniel answered. BlehWarrior growled, and pulled a diamond sword out of his inventory and pointed it in Daniel's face.
"I challenge you to a sword fight, and if you lose I get to do battle training," Bleh said.
"okay," Daniel said and stood up. He pulled his sword out and ran towards Bleh. Bleh screamed and ran towards Daniel. When they met, Daniel dodged all of Bleh's attacks, and kicked him in the side. Bleh grunted and dropped to a knee. Daniel ran towards Bleh, But at the last second, Bleh brought his sword up and slashed Daniel in the side. Daniel winced, but didn't stop. Bleh brought his foot up and kicked Daniel in the chest. Unprepared for this attack, Daniel fell backwards a block. He saw Bleh coming down with a sword strike but he dodged it and kicked Bleh in the side. Bleh flew backwards 7 blocks and hit the table. Bleh growled and ran back towards Daniel. Daniel blocked the sword and kneed Bleh in the groin. Bleh let a high-pitched girlish scream and clutched his groin. Daniel went on the offense and slashed Bleh in the stomach. Bleh coughed blood and fell to the ground.
"Give up?" Daniel asked.
"N...Never!" Bleh said and reared up and stabbed Daniel in the stomach. Daniel coughed and Bleh withdrew his sword from Daniel's stomach. Daniel fell to the ground with a thump. Bleh walked a few blocks away from Daniel and said
"Guess you're not so strong huh?" And walked away. Suddenly black tentacles erupted from Daniel and wrapped around him. They slowly drew him up and made his feet touch the floor. His eyes were now jet-black with smoke emanating from them. His body was wrapped in black tentacles, and his hair was jet-black and floating as if there was zero-gravity.
"BlehWArrior601 Show your real self!" Daniel said, with a voice that rumbled like thunder. Bleh stared into Daniel's eyes and said
"Sure," in a voice that did not sound like his normal voice. Then a large beam of black and red came down and hit Bleh. When the beam dissipated, Bleh stood there. Except it wasn't BlehWarrior601. It was Herobrine.
"Well Hello Knull, how are you doing," Herobrine said.
"Don't mess around Herobrine, why are you here?" Daniel said, the blackness waving around like it was agitated.
"Why i'm just here to say hello," Herobrine said, putting on an innocent face.
"Seriously Herobrine, if you don't answer then I am going to send you back to your cage," Daniel said , the blackness reaching towards Herobrine.
"That's not nice," Herobrine said, the blackness curling around his legs. Then the blackness flipped him, and Daniel rushed forward. Daniel punched Herobrine in the face, and shock waves rippled out from the spot. Herobrine wiped blood from his mouth and said
"Wow Knull, you have gotten stronger.
"Though not by much," Herobrine said, and punched Knull. Knull flew backward and hit the wall so hard, He broke through it.
"And that's how you punch," Herobrine said and grabbed Knull. Knull devolved from his Black Tentacle Form to his Weak Form. Daniel gasped for air, and thought to himself I shouldn't have tried to use that form. Daniel kicked Herobrine, but he didn't budge. Herobrine then threw Daniel over his shoulder, and strode towards the dragon. Daniel hit the ground with a sickening crunch. Herobrine grabbed the dragon by the neck and began dragging the dragon. Daniel stood up and clutched his arms. He saw Herobrine pull out a black sword, and stab the dragon. Daniel watched as the dragon fell to the ground with a boom. Then he collapsed. He woke up in the stone room alone. He slowly sat up and noticed that his arms were healed. He stood up and looked around. The stone room was in ruins. There was a giant hole in the side of the room, and there were fires everywhere. Daniel slowly walked towards the entrance to the room. He avoided the large pieces of stone falling from the roof, and left the room, still in shock of what happened earlier that day. He walked to his room. When he arrived, he walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out a black and white creeper sweatshirt and blac and white pants, and put them on. When he finished putting them on, he walked over to the forge. The forge was a 12x12x12 stone room with a forge in the center, and a chest on the left side. He walked over to the chest, opened it, and pulled out adamant, obsidian, and neodymium. He placed the neodymium on the forge and heated it.
"Ouch, hot hot!" Daniel exclaimed while pouring the heated metal. When the metal was hot enough, he poured it into the form of two fingerless gloves. Then he placed the adamant into the gloves. The adamant combined with the neodymium so it made fingerless gloves that conducted and stored electricity, while also remaining soft and warm. When the metal cooled, he put them on his hands, and walked over to the forge. He held his hand up and waited. Seconds later, lightning struck the gloves. Daniel then took his hand down. He rolled his hands over, and saw the lightning crackling around around his hands. He then pulled out the obsidian, and placed it into the forge. He waited until the metal was hot enough, then he poured the metal into the mold of the sword. Once the metal cooled, he broke the metal out of the mold, and lifted the sword up. It was about the size of a normal sword, but the blade was almost two blocks long. He sheathed the sword on his back, and then walked to the food storage. The food storage was a 10x10x10 stone room with chests piled everywhere. He walked over to a chest, and opened it. He pulled out 64 mutton,64 beef,and 64 cookies. He placed all that in his inventory, and then left the food storage. He walked into his room and opened a chest. He then pulled out 5 stacks of emeralds. He placed those in his inventory, and left his room. He walked past the forge, food storage, and the dining room until he came upon a set of double iron doors with a lever on the side. He flicked the lever, and the door opened. He walked past the doors, and then walked into the cave where he had first met the dragon. He walked towards the opening of the cave, and the river. When he first met the dragon. When Daniel reached the entrance of the cave, he slammed down a crafting table. Daniel then crafted 4 wooden blocks, and made those wood blocks into a flat piece of wood. Daniel then unsheathed his sword, and got to work on cutting the wood. After several minutes, he was finished. He had shaped the board into the shape of a surfboard. He had taken the excess wood, and placed them under the board, making fins. Daniel then hauled up his board, and started running towards the river. When Daniel got near the river, he noticed that the water level was 20 blocks lower than when he had first arrived. Daniel ignored it, and jumped. He placed the board under his feet, and hit the water with a splash. When the air cleared, Daniel could be seen racing away from the cave. Daniel that a rock was directly in his path. When he neared the rock, he grabbed it, and swung around it. Daniel whooped with excitement. Daniel kept riding the fast-moving water, until he heard the sound of water crashing together. It was a waterfall! Daniel rode the waters until he hit the waterfall, and he fell.
"AAAAAAHHHH!" Daniel screamed as he fell towards the water. Suddenly, Daniel noticed the surfboard falling next to him. He grabbed the board, and swung himself on top of it. He waited until the board was about to hit the water, and he jumped. Daniel hit the water, and sank. Daniel slowly looked around underwater. There was nothing in sight but water. He swam towards the surface. Daniel gasped for air once he hit the surface. He slowly swam over towards the surfboard, which had somehow fallen right next to him. He grasped the board, and pulled himself onto it. He was wet, cold, and shivering. He slowly paddled with his hand, but stopped almost immediately. The current was still pretty fast, so he laid down on the board, and felt the sun's rays beating down on him. He slowly felt warmer, so he began to paddle again. He paddled like this for several hours, until it got dark. Then he just laid there. Daniel stared up at the starry sky, and eventually fell asleep.
CHAPTER SIX
Daniel woke up to the board bumping up against the shore. Daniel groggily got up, and hopped on shore. He put the board in his inventory, and started walking in a random direction. He continued walking, until he saw a village in the distance. Daniel was wide awake, and he could see the village was overrun with mobs. Daniel broke into a full sprint, and ran toward the village. Daniel ran into the village, and saw all the villagers hiding in their houses, while the mobs destroyed the village. Daniel held his hand up, and lighting struck it with a tremendous boom. All the mobs turned their heads to look at Daniel. Daniel ran towards then screaming. The mobs screamed back, and ran towards Daniel. Daniel the lightning energy in his hands, and expelled it in a massive blast that took out at least half of the mob army. Daniel drew his sword, as the first creeper reached him. He stabbed the creeper and flung it, causing it to explode and destroy another group of creepers. Suddenly, Daniel felt an arrow pierce his thigh. Daniel grunted with pain, but kept moving. Suddenly, a huge beast hit him, and sent him flying backwards. He looked up, and saw a dragon without wings leering at him. The Dragon roared, and raised a claw, ready to slice him in half, but Daniel punched the dragon in the face. It didn't do much damage, but it was enough to startle the dragon, allowing Daniel to escape. He drew his sword, and stabbed the dragon in the back. The dragon screeched, and sliced Daniel with its talons. Daniel felt his HP go down by five hearts. He groaned, and fell backward. The dragon took advantage of his moment of weakness, and bit him on the shoulder. Daniel screamed, as he felt poison enter his system. Daniel pulled the sword out of the dragon, and used a skill. It was called Vertical slash. The sword swung down on the dragon, causing the dragon to lose some health. The dragon screeched in pain, and threw Daniel five blocks away. He landed on top of one of the villager's houses, and rolled over, groaning. Daniel reached into his inventory, and pulled out a HP potion. He chugged it, and stood up. The dragon was trying to bash down a villager house, but Daniel leaped off the roof, drew his blade, and stabbed it into the dragon's neck. The dragon, already having low health from Daniel's attacks, hit the ground with a thud, and began to dissipate, dead. Daniel looked around, and found all the mobs burning. He then realized, that the sun was up. He thought to himself, That dragon had to be at least Iron class. You see, Mobs are identified by class. Regular minecraft mobs, are Leather class. Mobs slightly above that, are Iron class. Stronger mobs would be Gold class. Super strong mobs would be Emerald class. The mobs that reign over the biomes would be Diamond class. And "The Six Creatures Of Undeath" would be Netherite class. The dragon, was in between Iron and Gold class. Daniel thought about all this, while all the villagers streamed out of there houses, thanking him.
"Thank you so much for saving us!" They all shouted.
"It's fine, no big deal," Daniel said, "Nonsense!" a villager shouted,
"You saved our lives! We have to repay you!"
the villager continued shouting, and lifted up Daniel, and ran towards a house. Daniel, having incredible strength, could have just broken out of their grip, and ran away. He decided against it though. The villagers arrived at a small, two story house. They dumped him there, then left.
"Well, that was weird," Daniel thought to himself, then cautiously walked into the house. When he walked in, he was greeted with a five block hallway, leading into a living room on the right, and a kitchen on the left. He slowly walked into the kitchen. It was a 5x5x5 cube, with a stove on the right, and a sink on the center, and a kitchen island in the center. He walked past the kitchen island, and arrived at the cabinets. They were small 3x3 rectangles, with trap doors covering the inside. He walked out of the kitchen, and into the living room. It was a 7x7x7 rectangle, with a coffee table in the center, surrounded by couches and loveseats. He walked out of the living room, and walked up the stairs that were at the back of the house. He climbed up the stairs, and found a shower room, and two bedrooms. He walked into one of the bedrooms, and found a bookshelf pushed to the right of the room, covering half of it. On the left, there was a double chest and a crafting table. In the center, there was a bed. Daniel sat down on the bed, and placed the items from his inventory into the double chest beside the bed. He walked out of the bedroom, and into the shower. 20 minutes later, he walked out of the shower feeling refreshed. Suddenly, he heard someone walking down the stairs. He hid in the shadows caused by the night, and listened. When he was sure the thing was not going to walk up the stairs, he slowly made his way down the stairs. He slowly stepped off the stairs, and looked into the living room. There was a person sitting in a love seat, facing away from him. He slowly walked towards the person, ready to defend himself if need be, but the chair spun around, and said
"I've been expecting you,"
