How's it going guys, I'm Back! It's been a few years, and I definitely lost my motivation to write for a minute there. I will be starting this new story that I have been thinking about. This will be a Minecraft mob talker mod x LitRPG. May transition to modded Minecraft but will start as vanilla other than the mob talker. If you are back from my previous stories please let me know, makes me really happy to see past readers back! Hope you all enjoy it!
Return of Steve
Chapter 1: Finale
Blinding light and an explosion are all I can remember when I come to. Greeting me as my eyes open is a pitch-black sky, my only thought wondering where all the stars went. Sitting up only confused me more. All around me are black pillars and what look like bodies. The ground feels surprisingly hard, some kind of white stone that feels very durable. My eardrums must be destroyed, as it is deathly silent except for a slight ringing. Starting to get my bearing I look around a bit more to figure out where I am. Sounds come rushing back all of a sudden when I hear the loudest roar I've ever heard. Turning to the sound, a large black dragon is swooping by. And yes I mean dragon when I say it, nothing else I could think of describes it as well. Seeing that awe-inspiring view allows me to remember how this situation happened!
-2 days earlier-
Waking up in my bed, I jumped up right away. Today is the day we start preparing for the biggest day of our lives. We will finally finish our final objective and finally be safe. Running over to my sink, well the best I can do in this world. 3 years ago I woke up in this strange world. Everything is made of blocks, from the grass to the sky to even the animals running around. Looking in my mirror, which is just 2 glass blocks, I see an average-height white male looking back. Black hair unkept from sleeping on, more on the muscular size from daily exercise since coming here. Brushing my hair and my teeth quickly, I don my Enchanted Iron armor. "Damn, this armor never gets more comfortable," I think to myself. The uncomfortability is expected since the armor like everything else is made of blocks. Leaving the house I ran into Jennifer, my neighbor.
"Good morning Nick!" Jennifer says as soon as she sees me. "We'd see each other earlier in the morning if you'd come to stay the night!"
"Good morning Jen, Still not looking for a relationship though." I retorted quickly, She has been trying to get me in her bed since we met. She is nice enough, blocks just do not do it for me. Jennifer looks like what a standard woman would look like made out of blocks. Dark hair wearing a pink dress, just really do not swing that way.
"I'll get you one of these days." She said slyly while winking. "Oh, Ben wanted you to stop by once you woke up!"
I shot back thanks and then lightly jogged to Ben's house, the Chief of our little village. Ben shoots me a greeting. Once we get past the pleasantries, He jumps right into the main goal of the meeting. Finish planning our attack on the end and ender dragon!
-Present-
I suddenly remember what was going on, we had planned this attack for weeks now. Even then, looking around I see that we have failed. Most of the villagers that came with us are down on the ground not moving. Ben was still standing with his sword out but had a weird purple glow to him. Two blocks to his right I see more of the purple particles on the ground. From a Previous encounter with it, I know it's the Dragon's breath attack and Ben does not have much time left. Standing, I go to move towards Ben to help. After one step my legs give out and I fall to my knees. Defying all odds, Ben manages to hit the dragon in the wing. Veering to the right, the dragon loses control of its flight and crashes into one of the black pillars that stick out of the ground. The dragon stirs once when it hits the ground, then stops moving. Ben sees me up and moving and throws his sword into the air in victory! All that movement causes Ben to cough. Pulling his hand away I can see the amount of blood from where I am. Wobbling for a second, Ben tries to steady himself and fails. I try to force my legs to move, but end up crawling over to Ben.
"Ben! Can you hear me? You will be alright!" I yell while grabbing his body. Chills run through my body when I feel how cold he is already.
"W-We did it, It is finally over. The mobs won't be able to do anything anymore. P-Promise me you will take care of the village," Ben says between labored breaths.
"Don't talk like that, we both are gonna make it back, You need to lead the village," I say while crying, Ben has protected me for 3 years now. He's the closest I have to a father in this world.
"We both know I–" Coughing up more blood, Ben very weakly says "We both know I won't make it, You will be a great chief I believe in–" Those are the last words and breath out of Ben's mouth.
I sat there with Ben for about 5 minutes just crying and cursing this world. I try to pull myself together and set Ben down. Standing up, I grab my sword and start walking towards the portal that appeared.
*Clap Clap Clap*
Pulling my sword from the sheath, I spin around. Greeting me is a block man. Wearing a cyan shirt and dark blue pants, he doesn't look out of the ordinary. Except for his eyes, Rather than having pupils, his eyes were straight white.
"Who are you?" I warily stare back at him.
"That is not important, What is important is that you failed. You were supposed to be entertaining and fight me after the dragon. The dragon was just to take out the rabble you brought with you. But look at you! Can barely stand on your own. This will not do" The strange man did not give me time to even respond or think about the situation. His voice radiates in a way that doesn't allow me to respond. With me frozen in fear or whatever this is, he continues " This time I think you will redo it with a few more twists to see if you can come out more powerful and fun." I stood there flabbergasted, here we were fighting for our lives and this man was just trying to have fun. I go to retort but he cuts me off. "Let's incorporate the princesses and a new way for you to gain power! That should be fun! We will have to get rid of those memories so you don't have too many advantages. Good luck Nick and Hopefully you give me a challenge this time!" With that being said, The man teleports out of my view and I feel a Sharp pain in the back of my head. My vision starts closing in as the ground gets closer. The last thing I hear before passing out is the man again.
"Hopefully the Princesses don't finish you off before I see you again, If they do you wouldn't have been fun anyway!"
With that, My vision fully closes and I lose consciousness.
Hope you all enjoyed this opening chapter! This will be a regressor story without the memories of the past! Herobrine is the one in control, Will our hero come out more powerful or will he fall to these princesses? Stick around to find out and Leave any input, it truly helps and motivates me to keep writing!
