Chapter 2: Surviving our First Night and a Message from Notch

I picked up the book and noticed that the cover was made of leather instead of cardboard or whatever book covers are made and the pages didn't look like normal paper. The pages seems to be made with other kind of material. I looked at my friends and took a deep breath and opened the page. The first page said Intro by Notch, The God of Minecraftia.

"Intro by Notch, the God of Minecraftia. Weird isn't Minecraftia the name of minecraft world and isn't Notch the guy that created the game?" I asked

"Yeah, but minecraftia isn't real it's just a game." Said Sean.

"But if were in Minecraft then you don't think what happens in the game will happen now right." Asked Briel.

"I don't know maybe that's why he put swords in the chest as well." I said.

"If we are in Minecraft then we need to get resources and a place to stay before night comes." Said Sean.

"let's read this first this might explain why we are here." I said.

I opened the book again and started to read it out loud.

Intro

By Notch, The God of Minecraftia

Hello, you must be wondering what you're doing here and how you can get home. I assure you what I'm doing right now is going to help you in the long run. My name is Notch and yes I am the God of this world and rule everything that lives within it. I did not bring you here if you were thinking it, but I do know who did. Long ago when I first created this world I had two sons one was Steve and the other was Herobrine. The two of them helped me create this world Steve created the villagers and the animals and Herobrine tried the same thing instead created monsters thinking that they will be good instead turned into evil monsters and attacked the villagers. I told Herobrine to stop his creations or they were going to kill everything. He started off by creating zombies, skeletons, and spiders. Soon he created this green creature he called it a creeper. It would walk around and as it got closer to you it would his and explode. He then created the enderman a tall black figure that would teleport and steal things. It was the perfect thief. Right before I stopped him he enough time to create one more creature it was the ender dragon. King of the end and all so the source of where the enderman come from.

I confronted Herobrine and asked him why he was creating so many evil creatures. He told me that he wanted to be just like Steve and create as much as he did. He explained to me that he was jealous of Steve because I loved him more than Herobrine. Out of anger he made the first move and attacked me not having the strength and power like me he was quickly defeated and created a portal out of obsidian and through him in. There was nothing there it was empty, but still having his power he created a world of fire and death he called it the nether. I told Steve to create new creates that we appear when monsters would attack the villagers he called them Gollum's they were massive and made of pure iron. They had a distinct to attack all kinds of monsters and were passive to other mobs. So that if anyone attack it would get a reality check and get crushed.

Even with Herobrine trapped he wasn't finished he had created new creatures in his prison that were deadly. He had created five new creates that were in the nether they were the Ghast, Blaze, Zombie Pigman, Wither Skeletons, and the Wither. Ghasts; were flying creatures that would cry when it would shoot a massive fire ball at you from a distance, the blaze; were small tornados of fire that would fly around and shoot smaller balls of fire at you, the Zombie Pigman; men that are part pig and part zombie are passive to all mobs and are very greedy but if you attack it or steal any resources from that realm they all would turn hostile to you with golden swords. The Final two are the most deadly the wither skeletons are taller and faster than regular skeletons, their bones are stained black from the fire and ash from this world, instead of using a bow like the regular skeleton they would use stone swords. When his you would have a strange effect that would eat at you until you finally you just wither away. The Wither it different than the wither Skeleton the only way it will appear is to take three wither skeleton skulls and put them on top of four soul sand put into a T. The creature will have three head that would shoot smaller skulls at anything in its path. It was created to kill all the good creatures in the land.

I realized that the Gollums were not enough to protect this world that is why I created the game of minecraft. It allowed people from your world to take control of these vessels to help defend the innocent people in my world. My plan worked for the time being soon though the players discovered how to create the portal to the nether and with it a way for Herobrine to send his new monster here to kill everything. I tried to stop the players from going through the portal, but they wouldn't listen they release the monsters into my world and soon Herobrine was release and took control of this world. Soon Steve needed help to fight off the monsters so I created a person to help him in this fight Sarah she had the same powers as Steve and Herobrine, but had a different ability I did not intend to give her. She had the ability to see the good in people. Yes including Herobrine. The three of them fought for seven days and soon Herobrine was on the brink of defeat. Sarah now the wife of Steve was about the kill Herobrine and stop him for good, but her ability kicked in and she saw that there was still good in him and let him go. He was able to escape to the nether and stay there.

I destroyed the portal so that he couldn't come back, but with time his power grew and soon he had more power than Steve and Sarah combined. He attacked again and defeated both Steve and Sarah, they were forced to flee into the wilderness never to be seen by anyone again. With his new power and control over the world he ruled it with an iron fist. Many revolted against him even the players but none could defeat him. Soon the people gave up and submitted to his rule.

I needed to find a new kind of weapon before Herobrine took over this world I noticed that some players and the heart and soul as strong as, or even stronger than Steve and Sarah. So I created a backup plan I would choose the people that had the heart and soul of this magnitude and I found you three. I am still searching for others to help you in the journey, until then David you are the new ruler of this world I'm giving it too you. Your friends are going to help you rule this world rely on them and ask them for advice. Now Sean and Briel this is your part, you two are to help David in this adventure in any way possible.

I need your help to defeat Herobrine and save this world from destruction for I fear that his plan is to spread his power from this world into yours. Find Steve and Sarah they can help you I hope. Ill send help when I can.

I believe in you,

Notch, The God of Minecraftia

"Well guys you heard it let's get to surviving. We're not going to defeat Herobrine with the equipment that we have right now." I said.

We walked over to these group of trees that were nearby and I thought how are we going to cut these trees down without an axe. Then I thought if this is like the game then I wonder if it will break if I start punching the tree. I took one punch and crack opened up into the trunk. I looked at my friends and they did the same. I punched the tree again and the crack got bigger and bigger until finally the tree fell over into smaller logs. They grew small enough to the point that I can care fifteen at a time and I still feel like I can carry more. Sean came over and looked at the work we have done.

"What do we do now? How do we progress from here?" Sean asked.

"I don't know we have to somehow turn these logs into planks right? So maybe there is an inventory crafting slots," I said.

We sat down and got to thinking of ways to use our inventory we were just stumped. We tried everything until Briel came over to us with a wood axe in her hand.

"How did you make that?" Asked Sean.

"I made with a crafting table that I made. You guys couldn't figure out that all of the crafting is like mental. An invisible inventory opens up and allows you to craft whatever you need until you make a crafting table." She said.

"Mental. Why didn't we think of that? Good thinking. No pun intended." I said.

We went to the crafting table and put our logs inside and soon they turned into planks. After I turned some of my planks into sticks so I can make the basic tools that I'll need. When we collected a couple of stacks of wood we moved on to a clearing close by where we can see all around us. Sean was in charge of the foundation and the floor, I was in charge of the walls and the doors, and Briel was in charge of make the doors and furniture. After we were done making the walls me and Sean went looking for a cave to get stone, coal and iron, and Briel went to look for animals for us to eat. Quickly we found our first cave it was very dark but I could see in the distance was a small vein of coal ore on the wall. I walked over to it and started to mine it out. There were sixteen coal ore so I have half to Sean so we can make torches.

Right when we lit our torches we realized we were not alone ten zombies were staring at us with hunger in their eyes. One zombie stepped forward he was wearing Gold leggings and he had a big smile on his face. You could see his rotting teeth and the smell in the cave was getting stronger as he got a little closer.

"Now why have two human's decide to wonder into my domain didn't you hear that whoever enters my cave never comes out." The Zombie said.

I was completely stunned I have never heard a zombie talk even in the game. This has never happened before.

"Before we kill you do you have any last words?" Asked the Zombie.

(Whispers to Sean) "Quickly make two stone swords we need better tools than these. Ill distract them. (Talking to The Zombie) Yes I do actually let me introduce ourselves my name is David and this Sean were players just trying to survive were actually new to this world. So maybe if you don't mind then we could just go and never come back."

(With a Deep Laugh like the one from the Ghost king in Lord of the Rings) he said, "Didn't you here anyone that comes in doesn't come out."

"Well then let us change that shall we." Said Sean as he throws me a stone sword.

We charged the Zombie with the armor and we cut him down in the confusing we started to make our way to the surface with nine zombie's right on our tail. As we ran out of the cave the zombies stopped at the edge of the sun light. I realize its Minecraft, zombies will burn in sunlight so we were safe for now. We made our way back to the clearing and seeing that Briel was waiting for us on the front porch.

"Where have you two been I've been waiting for a long time? The sun is going down soon I was getting worried." She said.

"We ran into some trouble that might come here tonight so we need to get ready." I said.

We ran into the house and make a sword for Briel and a furnace and cooked the food the she hunted. As the sun went down I could see dark figures appear in the tree line I couldn't see who they were but I could tell it was the zombies. We stepped outside and I threw a torch out so we can see our attackers. As light illuminated their faces nine zombies rushed the house with arms out stretched. I looked at my friends and I have a loud battle cry that seemed to sound like the scream from one of the Hercules movies. I stabbed the first zombie in the head as Sean ran past to cut the head off the other. Briel with speed and her Karate moves took on multiple zombies at once soon the zombies were defeated and on the ground we these small orbs of green light. They looked familiar then I realized that they are the experience that we would get from killing things in the game. I picked one up and it disappeared into my hand. All of a sudden a rush of knowledge came over me and I could tell that my friends were experiencing the same thing. When it was over I lifted my sword and felt like I could so many different things with it. I slashed the sword like have been using a sword for years.

As we went back inside the house and sat down on the chairs that Briel made we realized that we are truly in this world. While we were gone Briel made three beds for us so we all just went to sleep too exhausted to do anything else.
