A.N: Wow deadlines are tougher than I thought! Sorry I didn't get the chapter done sooner I was going to post it on Friday but didn't get the chance and over the weekend my grandfather died :-: I didn't know him that much. but R.I.P
"Don't go alone take this!" Obtained the late work badge
I ran down the steps leading up to the citadel or monastery or whatever it's called. I think if I follow this path it should take me directly to the orientation. I walk down the large path seeing multiple crafters most of them looked like normal people but some looked odd. Different clothes and swords most of them looked worn out. I decided to talk to one maybe asked why they looked like that. I decided to talk to a guy his name above his head said, Jack. He had jet black hair and green eyes, he also had a bag slung over his shoulder and a weird green sword held at his belt.
"Hey, are you alright dude?" I asked. These guys looked pretty bad one guy was passed out bleeding from the chest another was on the ground clutching his arm which had no hand. Blah I had to swallow my puke
"Yeah thanks for asking we just were trying to clear the forest for some extra arrows we haven't got a solid metal supply in weeks so we're running out of arrows and we haven't got enough swords for my group, I seriously doubt we can go out there again without us all dying" said Jack with a serious tone
"That seems like a problem. Oh yeah, I forgot my name is Thomas." I put my hand out for him to shake
"Mine is Jack, you know what Thomas? You seem like a noob here take this." he shakes my hand and then tosses me a pouch of coins which gets sucked into nothingness
"Wait where'd it goes?" I look around in a panic
"Jeez, you are a noob huh? Wave your hand and your inventory should appear." he flicks his hand causing an interface to appear in front of him. I mimic what he did and boom an interface appeared that was different from the traditional Minecraft interface. The normal 4 crafting was still there except it had 5 grayed out slots everything else was the same except on the top right near the crafting place there was a small black bar with a coin on the left it said I had 12. I turned around to talk to Jack but he was already walking away. Eh I don't feel like bothering him. I decided to see if I could buy some bread and water and *sniff* *sniff* that's the lovely aroma of meat! I ran down the path towards the smell and yes! A food stand I run up to the shopkeeper the name above his head reads Leo_Sand he's wearing a black and blue bandana and he's wearing a blue hoodie and some red shorts though he looks like he's packing up I can still smell some meat.
"Hey man are you packing up because I'm starving and that looks delicious."
"Yeah, i've got somewhere to be." He said
"Wait wait wait." I step in front of him "Can't you help a fellow crafter out? I mean I've got the money."
"Okay, okay." The man put down some food on the table along with some jugs full of water
"If you want the pork chop it's gonna be 8 coins and i'll toss in two waters for 4 coins."
"Thanks, but um how do I get the money out of the little account thing?"
"Huh, you should really head down to the orientation, it'll help you a lot. What you do is think about how much money you want while your hand is open and it should appear in your hand." I think about withdrawing the coins and 1.. 7… i've got all 12
"Here you go." I handed over the coins and took the meat and water I didn't stay to say thanks. I ran down the large street looking at a couple people as I passed them I kept running until I got to the center. There was a bunch of crafters all spread around. Some alone, some in pairs, and a small amount in groups. There was a podium at the center and guess who was standing there? You don't know you say? Well let me tell you it's Leo_Sand! Yeah, the guy who was at the food stand! While I was standing there confused someone bumped into me causing me to fall down. I looked up and saw the name Aiden_Death
"What is a noob like you doing with a releasing amulet" growled the man
He was wearing a large cloak. He had jet black hair almost like jack's
"Hand it over!" He yelled
"Back off buddy!" I stood up only to get a kick to the groin I fell back to the ground clutching my private part
"OWWW F***** CHEAP SHOT!" I yelled. I got picked up by the man I tried to block myself but
He hit me with a uppercut sending me to the ground again. I was starting to phase in and out and then my vision went to black.
I looked around and…. Oh no not again I was surrounded by black I looked around to see if I there was the same red glint. I turned around and saw a blue ball not as big as my palm It turned into mist and went into my body making me feel stronger. I woke up and stood up with ease I saw the man walking towards me I took a look at my health out of my 870 I only had 500 so punches do a lot of damage. Around my arms there was a blue outline it was very thin but you could still see it. Before the fight one of the chains on the blue ball had a little part complete but now it started over. Is it because I used my powers? I feel all the strength move into my legs I got into a jump position and jumped at the man it felt like a blur all the power moved into my fist and I slammed my fist into the man's knocking him into the ground making him skid a few feet. He got up and looked at me with a death stare. He pulled out a weird looking vase it had a bunch of wrappings around it. He placed it on the ground.
"DIE!" he uncapped the vase It shot up a bunch of ink in the form of a… Dragon?! The ink dragon shot towards me. I felt all my power leave in that punch I watched in terror as the dragon sped towards me only to get stabbed by a sharp red chain in the head. All of the ink dropped to the ground and creepily started to crawl back into the pot. I looked at where the chain was shot from and Leo_Sand had a ballista built near the podium
"Whew, that was close. Everyone! Welcome to the orientation sorry for the little fight there but let's get on with this!" He mined the ballista and it disappeared.
"Everyone look too your right as you see there are a bunch of double chests inside are some basalt rocks and some sticks only take one stack of each!" He called out to all of us. I walked over to a chest I expected some people to walk over to the chest but most of the people avoided me. Eh more materials for me. I opened the chest and right in front of me it opened a interface I grabbed 5 stacks of a grayish-brown rock and 5 stacks of sticks at least the sticks looked like minecraft sticks.
"Alright now hold out two rocks and hit them together!"
I followed his instruction and hit the two rocks together and an interface appeared in front of me it was a five by five thing that was colored like the type of block I had.
"First up is the knife. In the center of your interface use your rock to make a line."
I followed what he said as soon as I made a line the rock in my other hand got a line through the center making it split into two.
"Now on the lines right next to that at the top make a single dot for both sides."
I followed his instructions and the interface closed giving me two knife heads. I continue the process until I use up my entire stack and make 5 stacks of 16 knife heads. I grab some extra rocks and sticks and make them all into knives. So what can I do with knives?
"Knives are essential tools. They are used to make straw which can then be made into thatch which is a block that does not have gravity. Look, in normal minecraft you could make a 1 by 1 wall out of dirt but not in this." The man pulls out some dirt and tries to stack it. It falls right off the stage on a dazed crafter. A lot of crafters start to mutter and talk about the difference
"Sorry, but you get my point! Certain blocks have gravity so you can't just stack them. Now that concludes the orientation. My friend Peter is walking around passing out pictures of how to make the rest of the tools! Good luck and goodbye!" He walks off the stage and leaves the area. Well that was pretty handy. I grab the pictures from Peter and look at the sun. It's about to go down so i'm gonna have to find somewhere to sleep. Wait is that weirdo still following me? I look around too see if he's gonna attack me again. He looks like he's preoccupied with something. I run down a random path. I look at all the buildings and find one that says bar and inn. I think this one is good enough. I open the door and walk in. I see the bartender/inn keep is not there so I do the obvious thing….. I take a key okay okay I know stealing is bad but I need this right now. I look at the key number on the end of it. 12 okay, I go upstairs and look around at some of the different rooms. 15, no 13, no 12, yes right here! I push in the key and twist it causing the weird looking wooden door to open I look around. The room is decently sized with a fireplace to my right. In front of me there is a drawer with a bed right next to it. I lock the door from the inside and go to the bed and sit down. I feel the cold metal of the amulet on my chest. I look at it on the center of the amulet there's a jagged crack going down the entire thing. This is probably because I used the powers with the amulet on. I crawl into the warmth of the blanket. The bed looks the same as a minecraft one. I snuggle around on the bed and let the warmth take me into a deep, deep sleep.
