Hi guys, I know it's been ages since I updated but summer was suprisingly busy and then school started but I will try to write whenever I have free time or night's with no homework. I have mid-year tests coming up in some subjects though so that week I'll be unable to write. Other than that I'll write most on every third weekend because the other two weekends I'm with my dad and those are usually busy or just sort of not the type of time you write. However I won't go months without writing again!
As I woke the next morning I was able to explore for the first time. I feared the outdoors but had a leather chestplate now and a stone sword. As I stepped out it started to rain and I knew this was going to end badly. I felt my gut start sinking back as I passed a burning tree that had been struck by lightning. The light was good since the rainclouds had darkened the sky and the tree reminded me of the day when my first house was raided by monsters. I sprinted onward and began feeling more hungry as I plodded along. About fifty blocks later I saw a light in the distance. I assumed it was fire but as I drew nearer it became clear that this was torchlight.
When I was next to the light I realized that lots of medium well-built houses with slanted roofs and strange people inside. One building seemed to stand out because it appeared to be on fire. I ran over as if in an attempt to help with only a few tools and bad armor. In the back I saw a chest. Naturally curious (I mean who wouldn't open a chest in a creepy village when they had a really bad feeling about the whole thing) I opened the chest. Much to my surprise I discovered that in it was an iron sword, iron leggings an apple some bread and a few ink sacs. I ate the bread immediately to cure my ever growing hunger but saved the apples and put on the new armor.
Weirdly enough the armor weighed the same. I felt as if I was wearing no armor at all. Then the rain began to clear which seemed like a good omen at the time. Until of course I heard deep guttural moans coming from the dark. Zombies I thought to myself as the first emerged from the dark. I leapt at it and managed to land two blows before it punched me once, knocking me back and causing mild pain. After another rush at the Zombie and a few more hits it fell to the ground and some weird looking meat popped into that weird little pocket of space-time. Then I felt another blow hit me from behind and realized another Zombie had come from the other side. I hacked at the Zombie until it too fell to the ground dead.
After that I just ran. I sprinted as fast as possible back towards my house. Ignoring the pain and zombies that attacked me as I went. When I reached my house I felt as if I was about to die. I hadn't realized how far I had travelled and realized that the pain was not from zombies but from starvation. It racked my gut in brutal waves and sent pangs through my body. I grabbed one of the apples from the pocket of space-time (which for the sake of convenience I am calling inventory now) and gobbled it down. After the apple I wasn't starving but was definitely not full. I ate another apple from inventory. This cured my hunger completely and started to make me feel less likely to die. Then I lay down to sleep after a long day. I promised myself to return to the village tomorrow and see what other wonders it had to offer.
So now that you've read this chapter please tell me what you think. Also, sorry if the first paragraph is showing up weird. If it is it's because for some reason the formatting didn't transfer over. Also, if you read this and want your character to be worked in if possible pm me with your username and a description of your skin as well as if you'd like to be good or evil. You can submit through review but I will give priority to anybody who pms. Also, there is no guarentee that your character will be worked in since it needs to tie in with the main plot of the chapter/story. It may just be a brief chat or glance in the distance and a chase
