STEVE'S POV
They say knowledge is power. They say that you cannot have achievement without sacrifice. And in this story of my life this will be no different. For many years I have tried to grasp an concrete understanding of this world but with no avail. But the most powerful, most terrifying effect this world has brought upon me, is that for the long time I have been here, I have always thought this world was empty. That I was alone. But all that has changed. This is the story of my life. My many days and nights of torment knowing I might never see my family again if I couldn't find a way back home. My victories. My losses. My fights. My prosperities. My loves. My hates. My many thoughts about this strange world. And what a world, where ecological and scientific boundaries fail at each others back, with deserts on one front, tundras on another. Where mountains meet jungles, which meet plains,forests and oceans. where the day is fair, and the night is cold and scary. This is my story.
It starts with one man. No,I can't say that. He wasn't a man. I dont know what he was, but I did know he was pure evil. He looked just like me, believe it or not, but this was not just some rogue clone from a mod or something, he was real, sentient, independently thinking. His, no,it's name would bring any player to his or her knees.
Herobrine.
When I was young, back in 1.2.5, I was told that Herobrine had once been real, but was defeated in 1.1.2 by his brother Notch, to stop him from destroying the world. Other people said he was a glitch in the code of the game, others said he was just a legend, and never existed at all.
But now I know.
Its now 1.4.7, and I'm seventeen Minecraft years old. I punch wood. I kill mobs. I mine diamonds like anyone else. But people knew I had something else in me. Something amazing.
So, now, lets get on with it. My story. Actually up to one part, it's kind of boring. So I'll start at the most exiting bit, and explain along the way.
The nuke was reaching the final two minutes of its countdown. The mountain it was perched on was hard to climb, and I knew I could never get to it in time. The bomb, put there by mobs allied with Herobrine, would go off soon. This would set off a chain reaction, setting off other nukes in the area and kill every plant, animal, or player in their radius. I had to do something. Then I had an idea. The mod that introduced these nukes also had teleporters! In fact, there were some on the hill and on the ground near me. If I could hack into the frequency...
"ONE MINUTE TILL DETONATION" came an electronic voice. I was shaking now. I took a couple of circuits, and lashed them together with wires to craft makeshift transmitters. I jumped on to the teleporter and hoped for the best.
And it worked.
"TEN SECONDS"
Ok, I was doomed.
I started to run away, but hit a vat of helium coolant, knocking it over onto the nuke. The computer shut down moments before the nuke exploded, before freezing solid.
''How dare you, insolent wood puncher!'' came a voice from above.
I say voice, when I mean a sound like a microphone attached to a radio that hasnt been tuned for a full update, and thrown in an ocean biome. It was scratchy and almost like static. I'd know it anywhere.
''This isn't the first time I've ruined your plans, so stop being such a hater!'' I shot back. ''You're never going to win!''
''Oh, but I already have..."
I didnt understand this until I was shot in the back.
A skeleton was shooting me with a bow and a barrage of arrows flew toward me. I managed to dodge most but some hit me in the leg and arm. I felt blood trickle down through a grate at my feet. Badly wounded, I did the only thing I could. I angled myself perfectly, despite the wounds, and jumped off the mountain into a snow biome. Down into the freezing water.
It was around this time that the helium coolant boiled away, and the countdown resumed.
''FIVE''
''FOUR''
''THREE''
''TWO''
Just then, the remaining helium coolant poured out into the water, right on top of me.
''ONE''
The last thing i remember is that the lake froze solid.
