It is no more.

[MiningWithTea]

Finally a story that shows a character originally from Minecraft with its real aspects: a program. Usually, people write as if it was another demension, and not as a cybernetics adventure. At least I've never seen anything like this! I loved your story.

Wow..all i can say, i mean the way you described the mans adventure into the unknown, how you point out the odd things such as trees having no affect from gravity and crafting wooden axes. You found the true minecraft and wrote it into an amazing story about his odd way of surviving. You sir tapped into the vein of mystery behind minecraft, the being dumped into the strange world of minecraftia and the odd things that inhabit it. I Can't wait to see some more

I wouldn't call it bumping. It is more like showing your appreciation.

I am working on the next installment currently. I don't think that Steve will reach the End very soon, at least not until there are more features added to improve the End. But, the Nether should be in the near future.

[BackyardFilms]

Nice work.  I think you captured the essence of the game.  I look forward to the upcoming chapters.

[Homem Pigman]

I enjoyed that read. You managed to describe the initial Minecraft gameplay in seven neat chapters, yet you filled it with more details and a dramatic touch. Simple and clean, that's how I like it. I also appreciate you didn't throw in Herobrine and Notch - those are the two bug flaws that most people use in their stories.

Keep writing

EPIC, but char stands for character, so that shouldn't be his last name.

[Thre3zekiel]

Interesting story, clearly you are not a fan of V8. LoL!

[Zontafer]

I liked it! Oddly, I'm seeing ? for what I think to be apostrophes? Quote: This is a series of journal entries written from Steve?s? standpoint.

But why not? It doesn't necessarily have to mean character.

Plus what if the author intended that

Thanks Homem. Yeah, Herobrine and Notch will never be in the story. Besides, how could I have introduced them into the story? Herobrine walks up to Steve and says, "I am really not a bad guy. Here, to show my friendly-ness, here's a fruit basket and a Walmart gift card." Notch walks up to Steve and says, "I created this whole world. Pretty cool, eh? Now, go away and survive while I watch you from my computer screen." It wouldn't have worked.

Yes I realize that. But I decided that it would be a good last name because his skin is labeled "char". Besides, I thought that would be a interesting last name and it hasn't been used yet (as far as I know). Also, I couldn't think of a last name; and I wasn't going to have his last name be "Notch".

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean that I am not playing 1.8, then your right. I enjoy the progression of the game.

Yes, I have seen that. I think that some computers don't translate the script correctly and it replace's " or ' with a ?. I will go back and re-wright the apostrophes and such if you want.

Yes, it was intended. But I didn't think that it would have beem noticed.

It will be in a spoiler according to section.

Beginning

Spoiler:

This is a series of journal entries written from Steve's standpoint. I have put the entries into spoilers so that this would not take a lot of space. Enjoy the adventure.

Journal Entry 1

Spoiler:

A crack of thunder is heard; a beam of light, and that was all. I got up in the middle of a valley, very confused, "Where am I? Have to check my vitals, okay, they look fine. Clothes are a little tattered, but that's okay for now. I'm not hungry, but that won't last for long! Well, whatever has happened, I will have to cope and move on. The sun is still in the sky, I have time to construct a crude shelter for me to live in. Hmm, the whole world seems to have a square-ish look to it, why is that?" I walked on, thinking and admiring the beautiful landscape. I found a staggering mountain range that seemed to surpass the skies limit. Not knowing where I was, I climbed the mountain to see what the surrounding area was like. To the north, I saw a majestic pine forest lush with dark green leaves. To the south, I saw an endless desert filled with cactus and dead shrubs. To the east and the west was the mountain range that I was upon. Now that I had my bearings, I figured the best bet was the forest; it had a lot of wood that could prove to be useful in my survival.

Scaling down the mountain wasn't difficult; I found a waterfall and flowed with it down to the bottom of the range. I traveled a distance until I reached the pine forest. It was truly magnificent. Not wanting to waste time admiring, I started to harvest wood. When I "landed" (I suppose) in this land, I had a lack of tools; so I had to use my hands to their best extent. I began to hit the tree with my fist, but I didn't know why. "Smack, smack, crack!" A piece of wood fell from the tree, but the tree remained standing. I harvested another piece of wood from it, nothing. "The tree, as a whole, was not affected by gravity; but pieces that were 'chopped' were affected and they fell to the ground. This is very odd." After I gathered a sufficient amount of wood, I built my crafting table. (I don't know why or how I am able to figure out how to make these things; it just comes to me, like it was preprogrammed into my brain. I'm guessing these thoughts emerge from my subconscious.) "Hmm? Turn wood into planks, planks into sticks, arrange them like so, and I got a wooden axe? A wooden ax?!?! That isn't a very intelligent thing to make; but if it works, I should go with the flow." With my newly created axe, my collection of wood has doubled, and I soon collected a stack of 64 wood pieces. "Now I am able to construct a small hut until I can figure things out. What's this? There is a pit of lava over there; that would make a descent light source as long as I don't fall in." Cautiously, I walked up to the pool and started construction of my house out of wooden planks around it. I finished it with a wooden door. It looked like a wooden rectangle, but it was only temporary.

There's the first journal entry, I have to go to school soon, but not sure when because of writing sol, 2 hour delay and a weird time to get there. Please be sure I got things right, i.e. quotations (") and let me know how it is so far grammar-wise.
