I wake up to find myself lying on a grassy plains. All I know is my name and where I was yesterday. I am from the western side of California and spent most of my time surfing. I remember I surfed for a full day and then, reaching the final shallow part of the ocean, my surfboard scratched against a bottle. I was confused when I got it. I peered through the glass and saw a note. My first thought when I saw it was, this better not be a map to treasure or something or I will put this in the shredder and take all the pieces and burn them in a fire and roast marshmallows or something like that. I clearly wasn't in the mood for an adventure that day. I just liked my simple life of surfing. I opened the bottle anyway and saw that it was written recently (as typed on a computer). I started reading, and was confused. This is what the letter said.
Ian, I wrote this letter to warn you of something that can end up good or bad depending on your adjustments and survival skills. Tomorrow, when you wake up, you will not be in your room, in your bed. Instead you will be in a mystic land that has as much potential as you. I picked you because of your athletic abilities and the mind you have. You are one out of 10 people i will pick for this amazing adventure. You are the only one I have picked right now but when you arrive, keep an eye out for more people. From, The N
I looked around to see nobody I know. I wondered who that mysterious N was. I tossed the thought aside and put the note on my towel. Then I surfed the rest of the day. At 10PM, I went to my cozy apartment and slept. My dream was about the weird note I found and a huge giant silhouette of a man throwing me up In the air. Right as I was about to hit the ground, I woke up and ended up here.
Day 1-2 I was a little drowsy when I woke up but snapped to my senses when I heard the most evil and malicious noise I ever heard in my life screeched in my ear. I looked to where the noise was coming from, preparing to defend myself and stood eye to eye with a cow. I was relieved but made a mental note not to be freaked by anymore cows. I looked down to find another note from the N. It told me how to survive the creatures of the night, (I was thinking wolves or bears at the time) and how to build a simple wooden house. I looked at the diagram of the 2*2 house that was only 3 blocks(as the units are, me equaling 2 blocks high) high and said, " Screw this horrible shack. I need comfort, not boring. I looked around and saw a forest to my left, a desert behind me, snow to the front, and an ocean to my right. I followed the instructions toward the trees and stopped in front of them. The note said to punch the tree a few times and it will break. I tried it out and surprisingly, my hand didn't break from punching a tree as hard as I could. The only thing was that my hand was a little sore after. I punched the tree (I am so glad nobody else was around or I would earn the nickname tree puncher, at least it's better than tree hugger) until part of the log broke. I was now disoriented because gravity didn't affect here. There was a tree above me and a stump in front of me and the tree was floating instead of tipping. I went back to the note and it said next I had to draw four boxes where I was standing then draw another box to the right of the four squares. I did that and then the instructions said just to place the log there. I was doubtful that this would do anything but then again, I did just break a tree with my fist and there is now a floating tree. I put the log in one of the four squares I made and on the other side popped for planks of wood. It was about 1 block high and was in the shape of a cube. I took 4 of them before the log ran out of wood to use. I collected more logs and went to the ocean. I looked at the sky and saw the sun halfway through the sky. I started to place the planks as a walkway out to the deep ocean and then made a floor and a couple of walls and a second floor and finally a roof. I saw the cow taking cover on the second floor. He actually jumped up my crude steps! I looked outside and saw a couple of sheep. I didn't have anything to sheer it with so I hit it a few times hoping the wool sticks to my hand. It did! I now have 3 pieces of wool after hitting a couple sheep. I went back inside and said hi to the cow on the second floor. It was then I named it the only thing that fitted it... Nightmare. I built the 5 squares I needed and then put 1 plank per square besides the fifth since nothing would happen when doing that. I got a box that seemed wooden with some other material for the sides. I picked it up and placed it to my left. I looked at it closely and saw that it was an extenuated grid! I no longer needed to draw my work space. I then put three planks under the three wool and got a bed on the other side. I took the bed and put it down next to my workbench. Then I combined some sticks with three planks and got a pick. I went outside and to a cave to the right. It was covered in ice. I started mining some stone and then found this black ore with stone stuck into it. When I mined it, it took longer then stone but I noticed that when I jabbed the ore with my pick, some of the ice around me started to melt. I collected the rest of the ore and went back home. At home, I could see in detail what I got. It looked like the stuff you put under the grill. I remember the name of it since I only forgot about my past, not my language. I combine it with sticks at my workbench as I call it and got torches. I stuck them around my house, and made sure that i replaced the wood with stone where the torch was placed so my house wouldn't be in ashes and would find poor Nightmare dead. I went upstairs and created some wooden cups and drank some of nightmare's sugarless milk. Note to self, find sugarcane and create sugar. I went to bed with nightmare next to me. I was happy with the successful day I had. That is when I heard moaning of something that sounded like “BRAINSSSS!!”. I stayed Inside the whole night while there was knocking on the door. By the gargling in it's voice, I knew it was not human, or at least, not anymore.
Day 2-1
I knew I eventually fell asleep, because I woke up. The knocking stopped and when I looked out the little door window, nothing was there. I went back to crafting and crafted myself a furnace made out of cobblestone. I placed it next to my workbench. I saw I only had four more spaces to place something along the bottom of the wall. I created a couple of chests and put two of them next to each other. They seemed to merge together when I placed them. I put some spare wood in the chest (3 stacks of 64) and 1 more stack in a pouch I found on the ground. While doing that, I noticed something, I was hungry and there was nothing to eat. I looked around to see nightmare eating grass and soon to come back inside. I looked towards the ocean and saw 3 squids and a fish. I also saw a random arrow and a bone. I grabbed the arrow and the bone and used the arrow as a harpoon to catch a fish to eat. When catching it, I cooked it in the furnace and had a delicious meal of fish. Suddenly, I saw someone appear out of nowhere. I went toward it and helped it up. "IT" was actually a She and she was struggling to get up. I asked if she was okay and she said, "ya just a little tired. Wait! I'm not at home in bed! Where are my mom and dad?! Who are you?! WHERE AM I!?". I said, "It's okay. Just calm down and relax. I am Ian. I will get you anything you need besides pizza, home, or medicine. Oh and for toiletry, go wherever you want out in the forest. I am not a professional plumber.". The girl looked at me with tears in her eyes. She took 3 deep breathes and told me her name was Christina. She is 15 years old, (same age as me) and lives in the east coast. She also surfs and she also has a talent in most throwing games. I told her my back-story as well. I left out the note for now. I had suspicions ever since the knocking last night. I heard a moo coming from my house. Christina whimpered clearly as afraid of Nightmare as I was when I first met him. I led Christina inside to meet Nightmare. she laughed when she saw what made her so scared (she does have a pretty nice laugh). She got out of her lagging pit and saw my bed. I said, "you can have the bed, I will just sleep on the wood. I will make an extension later. We can both work on it later. Just don't make a basement. I don't want the whole house to flood. Oh, and by the way, don't let nightmare eat the sheets off the bed. I learned the hard way last night.". I gave Nightmare a dirty look and he seemed to say, "It's my natural instinct. I can't help it if I am a cow". I went to the mine a bit with a stone pick and got a new material which looked like penny brown metal stuck into stone. I found 7 pieces before I went back for night-time. Before I went to sleep, I found another note from the N.
Ian, I see you found Christina, the second one picked. Her skills are with mining and fighting. Her weakness is her reaction to bad situations. There will be another one coming tomorrow. Make sure to find him tomorrow. From, The N
Then I fell asleep.
Day 2-2
10 minutes later, I was awakened to Christina who just heard the sounds I have heard the other night. I sighed. I already knew that once she starts, she doesn't stop. I stood from the wood I was sleeping on and a terrible scent of rotting flesh made my face scrunch. In. I looked to the doorway and saw a green skinned monster with arms out, trying to get in. His face was rotting with mold. I reached for my sticks absentmindedly and created the slots. I created a second workbench and placed it in the middle of the room for now. I then placed a stick and 2 cobblestone above it. The ending result was a stone blade with cracks going down the sides of the handle. It felt just right in my hand. I opened the door and let the zombie in and then stroke it with my sword. It now had one leg missing. I tore off the rest of the limbs and the final blow decapitated him. With a poof, his body vanished. I looked around to see blood everywhere. I sighed again. All I wanted to do was go to sleep. I cleaned up the blood and found feathers. Did the zombie drop this? It really didn't make any sense. I picked it up anyway. Then I layer my sword on the ground. I instantly fell asleep. Of course, I woke up in another hour because I forgot to close the door. TWANG An arrow passed right by my head. I came face to face with a skeleton with loose bones that crackled and had blood dripping down his quiver. This wasn't going to be good. I grabbed my sword and held it up and an arrow hit my sword. I looked at it in amazement. Did I really just blocked an arrow from a bow with my sword? I didn't know I was skilled enough to do that. No time to think about it though because more arrows were coming. I hit the skeleton four times, almost ready for my fifth when my leg suddenly gave out. An arrow went right through my left kneecap and blood was pouring out both sides. The skeleton was still shooting. I put aside that I was shot and hit him the final time and he fell as usual. No blood from him though. Just me. I prayed that Christina stayed up there with Nightmare so there wouldn't be a big deal about this injury. I pulled with all my might to get the arrow out. Then I saw the items the skeleton dropped. An arrow and two bones. I remember earlier today I found the exact drops outside near the ocean. I crawled outside to catch a little fish so I could have something to eat and not go starving and got seven fish. I'm definitely getting better at this because I was injured and caught seven fish. I was so hungry that I ate one raw (which is not too tasteful). I cooked the rest. While waiting for them in the furnace upstairs, i saw my wound had become better already. I ate one more fish and my wound was gone. I didn't have time to think about it because I had a mess I had to clean up. Luckily, Christina was still asleep when I was fighting and fishing. I cleaned all of it and then closed the door in a hurry. Then I finally went back to sleep.
Day 3-1
I woke up, back aching from sleeping on the floor. I went upstairs to get Christina to find her sitting next to Nightmare, eating the fish. She must of been hungry because there were only two pieces left. I said, "Better save some of that for later. Grab some planks from the chest and make a surfboard. I think it's time to get back in the water." I had some experience on making surfboards because on the day when I got the note, my board broke and the lifeguards showed me how to make a new one. After making mine and waxing it with butter, (it pays of having a cow living in your house) I had to help Christina with hers. She seemed better about this place today and actually enjoyed it. It was nice hanging around with her when she wasn't whining. She was doing well surfing while I was trying to catch more fish. Just then, I heard a terrible hiss. I looked behind me to. See a spider with four horrible red eyes. I braced myself for his attack but he wasn't aggressive. I pet it and caught more fish. I was getting lucky today because I caught 20 fish. We could now have three meals a day if this keeps up. I saw a person lying on the ground and ran over to him. I knew this time that it was a him since the N's note told me it was a him. I helped him up and saw a boy that was about 8 years old and seemed to weigh less then a five year old. I asked him what his name was and he said his name was John. John was a little freaked about this situation in the beginning but not like Christina. I definitely liked this kid. He is definitely not here because of athletics. He lived in Breckenridge, Colorado. I told him that my house was full for the moment but if he went to the forest to get logs, he could build a house wherever he wanted. He went to go get wood. I had a feeling that he was going to build his house in the snow area. I went to the desert to get sand. I remember more now about my past. Only parts at a time. One thing I remember is to make glass, you had to burn sand. I went to get sand and realized that this would take forever. I went home to make a couple stone shovels and then took measurements of my floor. It was a 10*40 house and it would take a lot of glass to do what I had in mind. I went to get 3 stacks of 64 and went to put one stack in the furnace and the others in a chest. I checked on everyone to see how they were doing and then went down to the mine.
Day 3-2
At the mine, I found a cave behind a wall of coal. I placed torches while I walked around and then I heard a “sssSSS”. I turned around to see a green thing with four legs and the look of pain forever implanted on it's face. Then everything went black. I woke up to see Christina and John peering over my body. I was lying on the grass where I started. All my stuff gone. When the... “thing” exploded I had died. I don't know how but I ended up back here. When Christina saw that I woke up she said, "Ian! What happened? We thought you went down to the mine but then we saw you lying down here." I told them my about my adventure in the mine. I told them that. I had to go back because I left my stuff down there. Then I left towards the mine. When I got to the place that I had died, I saw my items lying on the ground. I picked them back up, saw more of the brownish material to mind, I remember the name now, iron, and left the mine. Back at my house, Christina and John were talking about my incredible reappearance. The weird thing was that they were worrying about it more then I was, and I was the one who it happened to. I decided to experiment with the iron for a bit. I put it into a furnace to see that it burned and leftist there. After a couple of minutes, I took out bars of iron. I mined 11 iron in all. I felt a little sick from the death and rebirth. I dragged my feet towards the nice soft bed. I fell asleep right away. That night, I had another vision about the N. It was about the rebirth effective had. The N was towering over me in an all black suit with a black fedora covering his face. He spoke like no other being could. His voice both angelic and also threatening. The N said, "Your respawning portion has seemed to make you a little ill. That is the effect when you die in this land. Your punishment is to lose everything you carry and the effect of giving you a cold that lasts about 8 hours. Try to be careful next time you run into those monstrosity of a creature you saw. The name of it is simple because it is what it does. It's called a creeper. Tell your friends about this warning. Now I bid you farewell.". Then the giant silhouette turned into a giant creeper and blew up. I woke up drenched with sweat. Day4-1 I will tell you what happened this morning in two versions, a simple version and a more...detailed version. Here is the simple version, Wake up, flirt with Christina, go fishing, surf, hang around with nightmare, eat, got to spawn to check if anybody came yet, nobody yet, went back to house for some milk, go see the new addition that I had secretly worked on with nightmare, took a bath, (didn't want to smell like a bum now would we) ate, checked spawn, and went for a noon stroll around the snow. Now here is the detailed version of what happened this morning, I woke up to see that the pain in my gut was gone. All that was left was some grumbles but that could of been from the absence of eating lunch and dinner yesterday. I went outside to see the perfect site I could ever want to see in the morning. Christina was surfing the biggest wave I have ever seen, and I have seen some pretty big waves. When Christina got back to land, I gave her a standing ovation. I complemented, "bravo, bravo. I loved the style, the beauty, the flow, and that was just your hair! The surfing was amazing!". I saw her cheeks started to get a pinkish tint. Her light brown hair flowing through the breeze, the sparkling blue eyes which fit her as perfectly as cheese and crackers. It truly was the most amazing site I ever saw and probably ever will see. I told her I would be fishing so she wouldn't have the chance to see me in that dazed state. I went fishing with that perfect picture in mind, if I could of caught a fish for 10 things I thought she was wonderful at, I would never go hungry again, and neither would my grandkids. I let the thought go as felt a big pull from the spear that almost made me lose my grasp. I yelled over to Christina and John for more support. Christina ran over and put her arms around my stomached and pulled with John grabbing the spear with me. I tried focusing on pulling hoping it would stop me from blushing. Of course, nothing could stop me from blushing at that moment. After a few tugs, a huge tuna fish popped out. The thing was literally the size of John. I had a feeling that we wouldn't need to go fishing for a long time. After fishing, I grabbed my board and went over to the beach. I paddled out far enough that I would be able to catch one but, still close enough to see if the wave was good or not. I found a perfect wave and started a furious front-stroke towards the beach. Then I stood up and was even able to reach my hand out to touch the water surrounding me. Three incredible experiences in about an hour. I was on a roll! After surfing the huge wave, I felt like I needed a break. I went into my house and saw nightmare at the furnace looking up at me with an expression which I take for, "all the glass is done." I checked in the furnace and sure enough, there were 400 piles of glass from the sand I had collected yesterday and the sand in my shoes from walking on the beach certainly helped a lot. I then made a hole in the floor and put wood down under the block behind it until the wood pillar hit the bottom of the watery floor. Then I put ladders where the wood was and went down under for as long as I could hold my breathe I then placed glass along the perimeter of the bottom of my house until a glass wall was built. Then I filled all the water in the glass with dirt or cobble. Then, I broke every non-glass block. I then replaced the sand at the bottom with wooden planks. I had successfully made an underground water room for Christina. There was only one thing left to do. I took some of my iron and created a iron headband. Then I carved designs following the moments we had together. I then put a little engraving on it. I wrote, to Christina, the pure awesome that overcomes everything and everything in it's way. From Ian. Good thing my hands don't shake. I placed it onto of her newly made bed with blue covers and a blue pillow. After that was taken care of, I went outside to check if the next person spawned yet. Surprisingly, it didn't. I then went inside to get some milk to calm down before the big surprise. I then walked outside to John's new house, which looked comfortable. Now it was time for my surprise to Christina. I told her to follow me. I lead her to the house and opened the door. I looked at her and asked, "notice anything new?". Christina then saw something that was abnormal in the design. She went over and saw a trap door. She climbed down the latter into her new room. She was shocked. I could tell by the look on her face. And then her eyes rested on the engraved headband. Before presenting it, I had put a rose on the tip to make her look what she seemed to me. Christina flipped the headband over to find the engraving. I knew when she read it because I saw the pink tint on her cheeks. Then she ran over to me and hugged me. She whispered in my ear, "thank you." After that, Christina ran outside to tell John what I had done for her. I went back upstairs and created another story for the bathrooms. I made a shower out of some of the extra iron from the helmet and a drain from a piece of gold I found lying on the floor from the explosion underground yesterday. The hot and cold water knobs were made out of glass. I then stripped and got in the bath. The door was iron and could only be opened when nobody was in there. After about an hour, I put some fresh clothes on and went downstairs to check if anybody spawned yet. Again, no luck. I then walked past John's new house and then saw something on the ground. It was another note from the N. The note said that he was still choosing the fourth and needed an extra day. It was fine with me. It wouldn't ruin my perfect day.
Day4-2 I finally got the nerve back up to do something more geared towards adventure then the creative side of my activities. I grabbed a stone pick, a jagged wood sword, a few handful of torches, planks, and coal. I went towards the mine and stopped at the entrance. I stared down into the cavern, the natural beauty filling peace into my heart and soul while the evil creatures of the dark are making me be careful of my surroundings. I went to the half lit cave where I had died the day before. I started placing the torches again to light the area. I went deeper underground as the pathway got steeper and steeper that I had to use half of my planks as ladders. Along the way, I got all of the iron that I saw and ended up collecting over 100 iron ore! I then ran out of torches. I stared into the darkness and saw a light coming from a far wall. I went over to investigate the light to feel the heat rise dramatically. The heat came from magma flowing out from several different spots creating a pool of lava. I saw a red material next to the lava. I tried to mine it and nothing was happening. I never got anything from it. I placed a crafting table and created a slim but strong iron pick. I tried again with more of the red material that I keep finding. This time, red colored dust dropped out. Behind that red ore, was a glassy object with a light blue tint. I remember vaguely that this was called a diamond. They are a really rare and strong material that people use mostly for decoration. I will make better use of it, I thought in my head. I mined it to find a vein of 7 diamond! I stopped and went back into the darkness of which I came from, I saw my torch path and went up to the surface. I then went to do my afternoon surf routine which involves wiping out a few times as nightmare was trying to "hang 8". I am pretty sure that I am the first person who successfully taught a cow how to surf for at least a 45 second round. I then went back to bed, ending this perfect day.
Day 5-1
Ever smelt a ton of iron ore into ingots? Don't, it takes hours! Christina was out mining and John was working on a improvement to his house. I kept glancing out the window for the newcomer but he didn't spawn yet. I finally got all the iron smelted and stored. I grabbed some torches and a pick and ran down to the mine looking for Christina. I traveled through the cave where the creeper blew up. The hole is still there but i didn’t pay much attention to it. I went to the place i found the diamond’s at and went past it. There were new torches on the walls now. I followed them to a large cave. Christina was there lying in the center of the cave, with blood oozing out of her legs. Next to her were 3 arrows. Against the wall straight ahead were a pile of bones. I ran up to Christina and kneeled down next to her. I knew she wasn't dead because she wouldn’t be here but she was unconscious. I ripped off part of my shirt and wrapped the pieces around Christina’s wounds. She regained consciousness for a second, weakly said, “Ian?” and went back to being a more than half-dead lump on the ground. I quickly went back up and yelled for John to come back to the cave. John asked, “What’s wrong? Where’s Christina?” I said, “No time! Just hurry!” John and I went back down to get Christina. I didn’t trust her being unconscious and alone for the zombies to get her. We still don’t know if she would just re-spawn if she dies. When we got to Christina, she looked pale. John and i both picked her up and started to carry her up out of the cave. I remembered when the skeleton shot me and i ate some of the fish, the wounds i had disappeared. Maybe the same thing will work with Christina. after we got her to the house i grabbed a fish from the chest. i gave it to Christina having to make her chew and swallow since she was unconscious. Luckily she was only unconscious for the first bite and ate the rest herself. It was getting a bit awkward feeding someone who you like... A LOT, while they were unconscious. After Christina was all healed up, she went to bed without another word.
Day 5-2
While Christina was resting, I was sitting on a chair I brought outside and waited for the next person to spawn. After about 5 minutes, a girl appeared out of thin air. She was asleep on the ground. I knew that she would wake up at any second so I ran to get John. When I came back with John, the girl was already awake. I went up to her and said, “Hi.” I am getting worse at this greeting stuff by the day. The girl just sat there with wide eyes. I noticed they weren’t exactly teary. That meant either she was the kind of person who is good at sudden situations or she was frightened by something behind me. I looked back and saw a creeper closing in! I grabbed John and the girl without hesitation. I ran back to my house, dragging John and the girl behind me. (I’m not the best escort am I?) I rammed open the door and threw John and the girl at a chair. I quickly found a sword in a chest and ran out the door, straight past the creeper. I ran into the forest and quickly turned around. The creeper was closing in. I gripped my iron blade tight with both hands and braced myself. The creeper sizzled as it got closer but i hit it with the iron sword and knocked it back, while taking a few steps back myself. It stopped sizzling for a moment and then came after me again. I swung at it a second time. I missed and the creeper started to sizzle more. I ran back a few more feet and swung at him again, this time slicing one of his four legs. It came even closer! I swung the final blow with all my might and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. In it’s place sat my prize. It was a grey dusty looking thing. I picked it up and started to remember science class. We did some tests on gunpowder. It was the same substance. I put it in my pocket and walked back home. When I got there, John was helping the new girl clean some wounds she had during my very fast tour of the way to my house. I walked up to her and said, “Ha, um sorry about that. Anyways what is your name?” (I deserve the Nobel Prize for smooth-talking don't I?) The girl said, “My name is Emily thank you very much! You just come up to me and drag me around. I suppose I should thank you though. You did get me away from that... That, um, thing. You should have been a little more careful then that though. These will hurt in the morning!” This is some thank you party isn’t it? If she were any more annoying, Nightmare would’ve ran away from that noise coming from her mouth! “John, show Emily here the basic rules. Teach her how to build and craft and to mine. I’m going to need some sleep.” I went up to my room after John and Emily left and found a note sitting on my bed. It said, Dear Ian, As you could see, the fourth person has arrived. Emily’s strong points beside her mouth is her delicate fingers for trap making. If that fails, then she would probably nag enemy’s to death. Knowing Emily, it would work too. Now Ian, I understand you got some gunpowder in your pocket. Keep it safe. Find four more and soon you will have the ultimate device for destruction. Keep it and make another one. Once you have 28 of the item of destruction, you will be ready for the final task I brought you here for. 280 in all and you and your friends will lead the way into the ultimate battle! The next time I will speak to you is when you have 5 gunpowder to make this item. From, The N.
I swear these notes are getting weirder and weirder. I moved the note aside and went to sleep.
Day 6-1
I woke up to a big surprise. At the end of my bed was a trey with some bacon, a bucket of water, and mushroom stew on it. I was confused, but food is food. I inhaled everything in minutes. I lifted the bowl and under it was a note. The first thought that came through my head when I saw the note was, Another note from The N? How much time does this guy have? When I opened the note, I was in for a pleasant surprise! It wasn’t from The N! Even better news was it wasn’t from Emily! Better news from that, it was from Christina!! The note said, To Ian, I felt that I didn’t thank you enough for the room you made me. Now I feel worse for not thanking you at all for saving me. So I made you a gift. This gift has 4 parts to it. The breakfast was 1 of the gifts. Get ready for the other 3. From Christina.
I didn’t know what to think after that note. (I must be really love-sick if I never know what to say after Christina does something.) I went downstairs to see another note. What’s with all these notes? This one was from The N again. It said, To Ian, Explore. Go out of the areas you are used to. All I have to say is explore. From, The N.
That was the shortest note yet. I can tell The N was trying to make it longer. I hope that means there won’t be another note tonight. I decided to do the exploration tomorrow. For now I decided just to go surfing. I got my surfboard and ran to the water. I paddled out into the ocean, scanning for a wave. In the distance, I saw a short bump rolling in. The bump got bigger and bigger until It met my board. I stood up and let the flying sensation fill my body. I leaned to the left where the wave was closing and made my feet do a sharp twist to the right. I was in the tunnel of water now. It was a race. Either the water catches up and I wipe out or I beat the water and surf until I hit the beach. I leaned forward, trying to go a little faster. I quickly looked back and saw the tunnel disappearing behind me. I was almost out. I saw the tip of my board made it out onto the wave. Then the middle. And the back. The wall of water hit the back point of my surfboard. I lost balance for a second but caught myself. I twisted my feet to the left and went back staring at the shore. The wave ended and I hit the beach. I decided to cut down more trees. I had a project in mind.
Day 6-2
I went into the forest with my trusty axe and started cutting down trees. I cut tree by tree until I had so many logs that my pack was about to blow. I planted the saplings and went back to my house. I stored the logs into the chest and realized I couldn't fit all of the logs in there. I refined 2 logs and made a small chest. I put the chest up in my room and stored the rest of the logs. This project won’t start yet. I went outside to see another person lying on the ground. This one was a boy. I went over to see if he was all right. He sat up and introduced himself, “Um, hi. My name is Trevor and WHERE THE HELL AM I?” That was a good question considering that I had no idea where we were. Anyway, I told him about our mysterious appearance here. Of course I left out the notes. I told him to see John, who turned into my newbie trainer, to show him what to do here. He left. I was getting a little hungry so I went and got some fish. I noticed that we had this fish for a while and it hasn’t gone bad yet. It hasn’t been frozen and when we cooked it a few days ago, it stayed warm! At the furnace, there was a note.
Dear Ian, I decided to make some changes to this world. Now you won’t be healed when you eat but instead you will lose hunger when you eat. Once you are full, You will start healing. Also I decided to put a type of village out by the desert. Go see it when you have a chance. And one more thing. Watch out for Endermans. They will destroy your house. From, The N I wonder what an Enderman is. I’ll probably find out at night. I thought about getting somebody like Christina to come with me to the village, but I decided against it. I wanted to see if there was anything dangerous before the others went. I headed out through the desert. I was walking through the sand when I thought I heard someone cry in pain. I looked behind me and all I saw were cactuses. I shrugged it off and kept making my way towards the village. After a while, I saw a house. I ran towards it. Eventually I started making out some forms in the distance. When I got closer I saw that the people were wearing brown shirts and their hand were put together right in front of their stomachs. I went up to them and noticed their gigantic noses. The noses were so big that it covered their mouths. I wonder how they ate. I went up to one and said hi. The villager just looked at me. I was really confused. “What’s your name?” I asked. It finally said, “we are testificates. We rule the villages. You are allowed to trade with us. You are allowed to get crops from our farm. And you are allowed to live here. You are not allowed to hurt us or destroy our houses. Then we will unleash the wrath of the iron golem on you.” “what is an Iron Golem?” “The protector of our people. They help us defend from our worst enemy, Zombies.” “where is this Iron Golem?” The testificate pointed to the farm. There was a gigantic metal man with the same noses as a testificate. It had vines running up its back and he had a rose in his hand. “Can they talk?” I asked. The testificate said no. I heard a scream from behind me. I turned around and saw Trevor looking in fear at the giant metal man. “Trevor! What are you doing here! You’re supposed to be with John!” “Where are we! What is that thing?” “This is the Iron Golem that protects the testificates or villagers or whatever you call them from zombies.”

Day 1-1
I wake up to find myself lying on a grassy plains. All I know is my name and where I was yesterday. I am from the western side of California and spent most of my time surfing. I remember I surfed for a full day and then, reaching the final shallow part of the ocean, my surfboard scratched against a bottle. I was confused when I got it. I peered through the glass and saw a note. My first thought when I saw it was, this better not be a map to treasure or something or I will put this in the shredder and take all the pieces and burn them in a fire and roast marshmallows or something like that. I clearly wasn't in the mood for an adventure that day. I just liked my simple life of surfing. I opened the bottle anyway and saw that it was written recently (as typed on a computer). I started reading, and was confused. This is what the letter said.
Ian,
I wrote this letter to warn you of something that can end up good or bad depending on your adjustments and survival skills. Tomorrow, when you wake up, you will not be in your room, in your bed. Instead you will be in a mystic land that has as much potential as you. I picked you because of your athletic abilities and the mind you have. You are one out of 10 people i will pick for this amazing adventure. You are the only one I have picked right now but when you arrive, keep an eye out for more people.
From, The N
I looked around to see nobody I know. I wondered who that mysterious N was. I tossed the thought aside and put the note on my towel. Then I surfed the rest of the day. At 10PM, I went to my cozy apartment and slept. My dream was about the weird note I found and a huge giant silhouette of a man throwing me up In the air. Right as I was about to hit the ground, I woke up and ended up here.
Day 1-2
I was a little drowsy when I woke up but snapped to my senses when I heard the most evil and malicious noise I ever heard in my life screeched in my ear. I looked to where the noise was coming from, preparing to defend myself and stood eye to eye with a cow. I was relieved but made a mental note not to be freaked by anymore cows. I looked down to find another note from the N. It told me how to survive the creatures of the night, (I was thinking wolves or bears at the time) and how to build a simple wooden house. I looked at the diagram of the 2*2 house that was only 3 blocks(as the units are, me equaling 2 blocks high) high and said, " Screw this horrible shack. I need comfort, not boring. I looked around and saw a forest to my left, a desert behind me, snow to the front, and an ocean to my right. I followed the instructions toward the trees and stopped in front of them. The note said to punch the tree a few times and it will break. I tried it out and surprisingly, my hand didn't break from punching a tree as hard as I could. The only thing was that my hand was a little sore after. I punched the tree (I am so glad nobody else was around or I would earn the nickname tree puncher, at least it's better than tree hugger) until part of the log broke. I was now disoriented because gravity didn't affect here. There was a tree above me and a stump in front of me and the tree was floating instead of tipping. I went back to the note and it said next I had to draw four boxes where I was standing then draw another box to the right of the four squares. I did that and then the instructions said just to place the log there. I was doubtful that this would do anything but then again, I did just break a tree with my fist and there is now a floating tree. I put the log in one of the four squares I made and on the other side popped for planks of wood. It was about 1 block high and was in the shape of a cube. I took 4 of them before the log ran out of wood to use. I collected more logs and went to the ocean. I looked at the sky and saw the sun halfway through the sky. I started to place the planks as a walkway out to the deep ocean and then made a floor and a couple of walls and a second floor and finally a roof. I saw the cow taking cover on the second floor. He actually jumped up my crude steps! I looked outside and saw a couple of sheep. I didn't have anything to sheer it with so I hit it a few times hoping the wool sticks to my hand. It did! I now have 3 pieces of wool after hitting a couple sheep. I went back inside and said hi to the cow on the second floor. It was then I named it the only thing that fitted it... Nightmare. I built the 5 squares I needed and then put 1 plank per square besides the fifth since nothing would happen when doing that. I got a box that seemed wooden with some other material for the sides. I picked it up and placed it to my left. I looked at it closely and saw that it was an extenuated grid! I no longer needed to draw my work space. I then put three planks under the three wool and got a bed on the other side. I took the bed and put it down next to my workbench. Then I combined some sticks with three planks and got a pick. I went outside and to a cave to the right. It was covered in ice. I started mining some stone and then found this black ore with stone stuck into it. When I mined it, it took longer then stone but I noticed that when I jabbed the ore with my pick, some of the ice around me started to melt. I collected the rest of the ore and went back home. At home, I could see in detail what I got. It looked like the stuff you put under the grill. I remember the name of it since I only forgot about my past, not my language. I combine it with sticks at my workbench as I call it and got torches. I stuck them around my house, and made sure that i replaced the wood with stone where the torch was placed so my house wouldn't be in ashes and would find poor Nightmare dead. I went upstairs and created some wooden cups and drank some of nightmare's sugarless milk. Note to self, find sugarcane and create sugar. I went to bed with nightmare next to me. I was happy with the successful day I had. That is when I heard moaning of something that sounded like “BRAINSSSS!!”. I stayed Inside the whole night while there was knocking on the door. By the gargling in it's voice, I knew it was not human, or at least, not anymore.
Day 2-1
I knew I eventually fell asleep, because I woke up. The knocking stopped and when I looked out the little door window, nothing was there. I went back to crafting and crafted myself a furnace made out of cobblestone. I placed it next to my workbench. I saw I only had four more spaces to place something along the bottom of the wall. I created a couple of chests and put two of them next to each other. They seemed to merge together when I placed them. I put some spare wood in the chest (3 stacks of 64) and 1 more stack in a pouch I found on the ground. While doing that, I noticed something, I was hungry and there was nothing to eat. I looked around to see nightmare eating grass and soon to come back inside. I looked towards the ocean and saw 3 squids and a fish. I also saw a random arrow and a bone. I grabbed the arrow and the bone and used the arrow as a harpoon to catch a fish to eat. When catching it, I cooked it in the furnace and had a delicious meal of fish. Suddenly, I saw someone appear out of nowhere. I went toward it and helped it up. "IT" was actually a She and she was struggling to get up. I asked if she was okay and she said, "ya just a little tired. Wait! I'm not at home in bed! Where are my mom and dad?! Who are you?! WHERE AM I!?". I said, "It's okay. Just calm down and relax. I am Ian. I will get you anything you need besides pizza, home, or medicine. Oh and for toiletry, go wherever you want out in the forest. I am not a professional plumber.". The girl looked at me with tears in her eyes. She took 3 deep breathes and told me her name was Christina. She is 15 years old, (same age as me) and lives in the east coast. She also surfs and she also has a talent in most throwing games. I told her my back-story as well. I left out the note for now. I had suspicions ever since the knocking last night. I heard a moo coming from my house. Christina whimpered clearly as afraid of Nightmare as I was when I first met him. I led Christina inside to meet Nightmare. she laughed when she saw what made her so scared (she does have a pretty nice laugh). She got out of her lagging pit and saw my bed. I said, "you can have the bed, I will just sleep on the wood. I will make an extension later. We can both work on it later. Just don't make a basement. I don't want the whole house to flood. Oh, and by the way, don't let nightmare eat the sheets off the bed. I learned the hard way last night.". I gave Nightmare a dirty look and he seemed to say, "It's my natural instinct. I can't help it if I am a cow". I went to the mine a bit with a stone pick and got a new material which looked like penny brown metal stuck into stone. I found 7 pieces before I went back for night-time. Before I went to sleep, I found another note from the N.
Ian,
I see you found Christina, the second one picked. Her skills are with mining and fighting. Her weakness is her reaction to bad situations. There will be another one coming tomorrow. Make sure to find him tomorrow.
From,
The N
Then I fell asleep.
Day 2-2
10 minutes later, I was awakened to Christina who just heard the sounds I have heard the other night. I sighed. I already knew that once she starts, she doesn't stop. I stood from the wood I was sleeping on and a terrible scent of rotting flesh made my face scrunch. In. I looked to the doorway and saw a green skinned monster with arms out, trying to get in. His face was rotting with mold. I reached for my sticks absentmindedly and created the slots. I created a second workbench and placed it in the middle of the room for now. I then placed a stick and 2 cobblestone above it. The ending result was a stone blade with cracks going down the sides of the handle. It felt just right in my hand. I opened the door and let the zombie in and then stroke it with my sword. It now had one leg missing. I tore off the rest of the limbs and the final blow decapitated him. With a poof, his body vanished. I looked around to see blood everywhere. I sighed again. All I wanted to do was go to sleep. I cleaned up the blood and found feathers. Did the zombie drop this? It really didn't make any sense. I picked it up anyway. Then I layer my sword on the ground. I instantly fell asleep. Of course, I woke up in another hour because I forgot to close the door.
TWANG
An arrow passed right by my head. I came face to face with a skeleton with loose bones that crackled and had blood dripping down his quiver. This wasn't going to be good. I grabbed my sword and held it up and an arrow hit my sword. I looked at it in amazement. Did I really just blocked an arrow from a bow with my sword? I didn't know I was skilled enough to do that. No time to think about it though because more arrows were coming. I hit the skeleton four times, almost ready for my fifth when my leg suddenly gave out. An arrow went right through my left kneecap and blood was pouring out both sides. The skeleton was still shooting. I put aside that I was shot and hit him the final time and he fell as usual. No blood from him though. Just me. I prayed that Christina stayed up there with Nightmare so there wouldn't be a big deal about this injury. I pulled with all my might to get the arrow out. Then I saw the items the skeleton dropped. An arrow and two bones. I remember earlier today I found the exact drops outside near the ocean. I crawled outside to catch a little fish so I could have something to eat and not go starving and got seven fish. I'm definitely getting better at this because I was injured and caught seven fish. I was so hungry that I ate one raw (which is not too tasteful). I cooked the rest. While waiting for them in the furnace upstairs, i saw my wound had become better already. I ate one more fish and my wound was gone. I didn't have time to think about it because I had a mess I had to clean up. Luckily, Christina was still asleep when I was fighting and fishing. I cleaned all of it and then closed the door in a hurry. Then I finally went back to sleep.
Day 3-1
I woke up, back aching from sleeping on the floor. I went upstairs to get Christina to find her sitting next to Nightmare, eating the fish. She must of been hungry because there were only two pieces left. I said, "Better save some of that for later. Grab some planks from the chest and make a surfboard. I think it's time to get back in the water." I had some experience on making surfboards because on the day when I got the note, my board broke and the lifeguards showed me how to make a new one. After making mine and waxing it with butter, (it pays of having a cow living in your house) I had to help Christina with hers. She seemed better about this place today and actually enjoyed it. It was nice hanging around with her when she wasn't whining. She was doing well surfing while I was trying to catch more fish. Just then, I heard a terrible hiss. I looked behind me to. See a spider with four horrible red eyes. I braced myself for his attack but he wasn't aggressive. I pet it and caught more fish. I was getting lucky today because I caught 20 fish. We could now have three meals a day if this keeps up. I saw a person lying on the ground and ran over to him. I knew this time that it was a him since the N's note told me it was a him. I helped him up and saw a boy that was about 8 years old and seemed to weigh less then a five year old. I asked him what his name was and he said his name was John. John was a little freaked about this situation in the beginning but not like Christina. I definitely liked this kid. He is definitely not here because of athletics. He lived in Breckenridge, Colorado. I told him that my house was full for the moment but if he went to the forest to get logs, he could build a house wherever he wanted. He went to go get wood. I had a feeling that he was going to build his house in the snow area. I went to the desert to get sand. I remember more now about my past. Only parts at a time. One thing I remember is to make glass, you had to burn sand. I went to get sand and realized that this would take forever. I went home to make a couple stone shovels and then took measurements of my floor. It was a 10*40 house and it would take a lot of glass to do what I had in mind. I went to get 3 stacks of 64 and went to put one stack in the furnace and the others in a chest. I checked on everyone to see how they were doing and then went down to the mine.
Day 3-2
At the mine, I found a cave behind a wall of coal. I placed torches while I walked around and then I heard a “sssSSS”. I turned around to see a green thing with four legs and the look of pain forever implanted on it's face. Then everything went black. I woke up to see Christina and John peering over my body. I was lying on the grass where I started. All my stuff gone. When the... “thing” exploded I had died. I don't know how but I ended up back here. When Christina saw that I woke up she said, "Ian! What happened? We thought you went down to the mine but then we saw you lying down here." I told them my about my adventure in the mine. I told them that. I had to go back because I left my stuff down there. Then I left towards the mine. When I got to the place that I had died, I saw my items lying on the ground. I picked them back up, saw more of the brownish material to mind, I remember the name now, iron, and left the mine. Back at my house, Christina and John were talking about my incredible reappearance. The weird thing was that they were worrying about it more then I was, and I was the one who it happened to. I decided to experiment with the iron for a bit. I put it into a furnace to see that it burned and leftist there. After a couple of minutes, I took out bars of iron. I mined 11 iron in all. I felt a little sick from the death and rebirth. I dragged my feet towards the nice soft bed. I fell asleep right away. That night, I had another vision about the N. It was about the rebirth effective had. The N was towering over me in an all black suit with a black fedora covering his face. He spoke like no other being could. His voice both angelic and also threatening. The N said, "Your respawning portion has seemed to make you a little ill. That is the effect when you die in this land. Your punishment is to lose everything you carry and the effect of giving you a cold that lasts about 8 hours. Try to be careful next time you run into those monstrosity of a creature you saw. The name of it is simple because it is what it does. It's called a creeper. Tell your friends about this warning. Now I bid you farewell.". Then the giant silhouette turned into a giant creeper and blew up. I woke up drenched with sweat.
Day4-1
I will tell you what happened this morning in two versions, a simple version and a more...detailed version.
Here is the simple version,
Wake up, flirt with Christina, go fishing, surf, hang around with nightmare, eat, got to spawn to check if anybody came yet, nobody yet, went back to house for some milk, go see the new addition that I had secretly worked on with nightmare, took a bath, (didn't want to smell like a bum now would we) ate, checked spawn, and went for a noon stroll around the snow.
Now here is the detailed version of what happened this morning,
I woke up to see that the pain in my gut was gone. All that was left was some grumbles but that could of been from the absence of eating lunch and dinner yesterday. I went outside to see the perfect site I could ever want to see in the morning. Christina was surfing the biggest wave I have ever seen, and I have seen some pretty big waves. When Christina got back to land, I gave her a standing ovation. I complemented, "bravo, bravo. I loved the style, the beauty, the flow, and that was just your hair! The surfing was amazing!". I saw her cheeks started to get a pinkish tint. Her light brown hair flowing through the breeze, the sparkling blue eyes which fit her as perfectly as cheese and crackers. It truly was the most amazing site I ever saw and probably ever will see. I told her I would be fishing so she wouldn't have the chance to see me in that dazed state. I went fishing with that perfect picture in mind, if I could of caught a fish for 10 things I thought she was wonderful at, I would never go hungry again, and neither would my grandkids. I let the thought go as felt a big pull from the spear that almost made me lose my grasp. I yelled over to Christina and John for more support. Christina ran over and put her arms around my stomached and pulled with John grabbing the spear with me. I tried focusing on pulling hoping it would stop me from blushing. Of course, nothing could stop me from blushing at that moment. After a few tugs, a huge tuna fish popped out. The thing was literally the size of John. I had a feeling that we wouldn't need to go fishing for a long time. After fishing, I grabbed my board and went over to the beach. I paddled out far enough that I would be able to catch one but, still close enough to see if the wave was good or not. I found a perfect wave and started a furious front-stroke towards the beach. Then I stood up and was even able to reach my hand out to touch the water surrounding me. Three incredible experiences in about an hour. I was on a roll! After surfing the huge wave, I felt like I needed a break. I went into my house and saw nightmare at the furnace looking up at me with an expression which I take for, "all the glass is done." I checked in the furnace and sure enough, there were 400 piles of glass from the sand I had collected yesterday and the sand in my shoes from walking on the beach certainly helped a lot. I then made a hole in the floor and put wood down under the block behind it until the wood pillar hit the bottom of the watery floor. Then I put ladders where the wood was and went down under for as long as I could hold my breathe I then placed glass along the perimeter of the bottom of my house until a glass wall was built. Then I filled all the water in the glass with dirt or cobble. Then, I broke every non-glass block. I then replaced the sand at the bottom with wooden planks. I had successfully made an underground water room for Christina. There was only one thing left to do. I took some of my iron and created a iron headband. Then I carved designs following the moments we had together. I then put a little engraving on it. I wrote, to Christina, the pure awesome that overcomes everything and everything in it's way. From Ian. Good thing my hands don't shake. I placed it onto of her newly made bed with blue covers and a blue pillow. After that was taken care of, I went outside to check if the next person spawned yet. Surprisingly, it didn't. I then went inside to get some milk to calm down before the big surprise. I then walked outside to John's new house, which looked comfortable. Now it was time for my surprise to Christina. I told her to follow me. I lead her to the house and opened the door. I looked at her and asked, "notice anything new?". Christina then saw something that was abnormal in the design. She went over and saw a trap door. She climbed down the latter into her new room. She was shocked. I could tell by the look on her face. And then her eyes rested on the engraved headband. Before presenting it, I had put a rose on the tip to make her look what she seemed to me. Christina flipped the headband over to find the engraving. I knew when she read it because I saw the pink tint on her cheeks. Then she ran over to me and hugged me. She whispered in my ear, "thank you." After that, Christina ran outside to tell John what I had done for her. I went back upstairs and created another story for the bathrooms. I made a shower out of some of the extra iron from the helmet and a drain from a piece of gold I found lying on the floor from the explosion underground yesterday. The hot and cold water knobs were made out of glass. I then stripped and got in the bath. The door was iron and could only be opened when nobody was in there. After about an hour, I put some fresh clothes on and went downstairs to check if anybody spawned yet. Again, no luck. I then walked past John's new house and then saw something on the ground. It was another note from the N. The note said that he was still choosing the fourth and needed an extra day. It was fine with me. It wouldn't ruin my perfect day.
Day4-2
I finally got the nerve back up to do something more geared towards adventure then the creative side of my activities. I grabbed a stone pick, a jagged wood sword, a few handful of torches, planks, and coal. I went towards the mine and stopped at the entrance. I stared down into the cavern, the natural beauty filling peace into my heart and soul while the evil creatures of the dark are making me be careful of my surroundings. I went to the half lit cave where I had died the day before. I started placing the torches again to light the area. I went deeper underground as the pathway got steeper and steeper that I had to use half of my planks as ladders. Along the way, I got all of the iron that I saw and ended up collecting over 100 iron ore! I then ran out of torches. I stared into the darkness and saw a light coming from a far wall. I went over to investigate the light to feel the heat rise dramatically. The heat came from magma flowing out from several different spots creating a pool of lava. I saw a red material next to the lava. I tried to mine it and nothing was happening. I never got anything from it. I placed a crafting table and created a slim but strong iron pick. I tried again with more of the red material that I keep finding. This time, red colored dust dropped out. Behind that red ore, was a glassy object with a light blue tint. I remember vaguely that this was called a diamond. They are a really rare and strong material that people use mostly for decoration. I will make better use of it, I thought in my head. I mined it to find a vein of 7 diamond! I stopped and went back into the darkness of which I came from, I saw my torch path and went up to the surface. I then went to do my afternoon surf routine which involves wiping out a few times as nightmare was trying to "hang 8". I am pretty sure that I am the first person who successfully taught a cow how to surf for at least a 45 second round. I then went back to bed, ending this perfect day.
Day 5-1
Ever smelt a ton of iron ore into ingots? Don't, it takes hours! Christina was out mining and John was working on a improvement to his house. I kept glancing out the window for the newcomer but he didn't spawn yet. I finally got all the iron smelted and stored. I grabbed some torches and a pick and ran down to the mine looking for Christina. I traveled through the cave where the creeper blew up. The hole is still there but i didn’t pay much attention to it. I went to the place i found the diamond’s at and went past it. There were new torches on the walls now. I followed them to a large cave. Christina was there lying in the center of the cave, with blood oozing out of her legs. Next to her were 3 arrows. Against the wall straight ahead were a pile of bones. I ran up to Christina and kneeled down next to her. I knew she wasn't dead because she wouldn’t be here but she was unconscious. I ripped off part of my shirt and wrapped the pieces around Christina’s wounds. She regained consciousness for a second, weakly said, “Ian?” and went back to being a more than half-dead lump on the ground. I quickly went back up and yelled for John to come back to the cave. John asked, “What’s wrong? Where’s Christina?” I said, “No time! Just hurry!” John and I went back down to get Christina. I didn’t trust her being unconscious and alone for the zombies to get her. We still don’t know if she would just re-spawn if she dies. When we got to Christina, she looked pale. John and i both picked her up and started to carry her up out of the cave. I remembered when the skeleton shot me and i ate some of the fish, the wounds i had disappeared. Maybe the same thing will work with Christina. after we got her to the house i grabbed a fish from the chest. i gave it to Christina having to make her chew and swallow since she was unconscious. Luckily she was only unconscious for the first bite and ate the rest herself. It was getting a bit awkward feeding someone who you like... A LOT, while they were unconscious. After Christina was all healed up, she went to bed without another word.
Day 5-2
While Christina was resting, I was sitting on a chair I brought outside and waited for the next person to spawn. After about 5 minutes, a girl appeared out of thin air. She was asleep on the ground. I knew that she would wake up at any second so I ran to get John. When I came back with John, the girl was already awake. I went up to her and said, “Hi.” I am getting worse at this greeting stuff by the day. The girl just sat there with wide eyes. I noticed they weren’t exactly teary. That meant either she was the kind of person who is good at sudden situations or she was frightened by something behind me. I looked back and saw a creeper closing in! I grabbed John and the girl without hesitation. I ran back to my house, dragging John and the girl behind me. (I’m not the best escort am I?) I rammed open the door and threw John and the girl at a chair. I quickly found a sword in a chest and ran out the door, straight past the creeper. I ran into the forest and quickly turned around. The creeper was closing in. I gripped my iron blade tight with both hands and braced myself. The creeper sizzled as it got closer but i hit it with the iron sword and knocked it back, while taking a few steps back myself. It stopped sizzling for a moment and then came after me again. I swung at it a second time. I missed and the creeper started to sizzle more. I ran back a few more feet and swung at him again, this time slicing one of his four legs. It came even closer! I swung the final blow with all my might and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. In it’s place sat my prize. It was a grey dusty looking thing. I picked it up and started to remember science class. We did some tests on gunpowder. It was the same substance. I put it in my pocket and walked back home. When I got there, John was helping the new girl clean some wounds she had during my very fast tour of the way to my house. I walked up to her and said, “Ha, um sorry about that. Anyways what is your name?” (I deserve the Nobel Prize for smooth-talking don't I?) The girl said, “My name is Emily thank you very much! You just come up to me and drag me around. I suppose I should thank you though. You did get me away from that... That, um, thing. You should have been a little more careful then that though. These will hurt in the morning!” This is some thank you party isn’t it? If she were any more annoying, Nightmare would’ve ran away from that noise coming from her mouth! “John, show Emily here the basic rules. Teach her how to build and craft and to mine. I’m going to need some sleep.” I went up to my room after John and Emily left and found a note sitting on my bed. It said,
Dear Ian,
As you could see, the fourth person has arrived. Emily’s strong points beside her mouth is her delicate fingers for trap making. If that fails, then she would probably nag enemy’s to death. Knowing Emily, it would work too. Now Ian, I understand you got some gunpowder in your pocket. Keep it safe. Find four more and soon you will have the ultimate device for destruction. Keep it and make another one. Once you have 28 of the item of destruction, you will be ready for the final task I brought you here for. 280 in all and you and your friends will lead the way into the ultimate battle! The next time I will speak to you is when you have 5 gunpowder to make this item.
From,
The N.
I swear these notes are getting weirder and weirder. I moved the note aside and went to sleep.
Day 6-1
I woke up to a big surprise. At the end of my bed was a trey with some bacon, a bucket of water, and mushroom stew on it. I was confused, but food is food. I inhaled everything in minutes. I lifted the bowl and under it was a note. The first thought that came through my head when I saw the note was, Another note from The N? How much time does this guy have? When I opened the note, I was in for a pleasant surprise! It wasn’t from The N! Even better news was it wasn’t from Emily! Better news from that, it was from Christina!! The note said,
To Ian,
I felt that I didn’t thank you enough for the room you made me. Now I feel worse for not thanking you at all for saving me. So I made you a gift. This gift has 4 parts to it. The breakfast was 1 of the gifts. Get ready for the other 3.
From Christina.
I didn’t know what to think after that note. (I must be really love-sick if I never know what to say after Christina does something.) I went downstairs to see another note. What’s with all these notes? This one was from The N again. It said,
To Ian,
Explore. Go out of the areas you are used to. All I have to say is explore.
From, The N.
That was the shortest note yet. I can tell The N was trying to make it longer. I hope that means there won’t be another note tonight. I decided to do the exploration tomorrow. For now I decided just to go surfing. I got my surfboard and ran to the water. I paddled out into the ocean, scanning for a wave. In the distance, I saw a short bump rolling in. The bump got bigger and bigger until It met my board. I stood up and let the flying sensation fill my body. I leaned to the left where the wave was closing and made my feet do a sharp twist to the right. I was in the tunnel of water now. It was a race. Either the water catches up and I wipe out or I beat the water and surf until I hit the beach. I leaned forward, trying to go a little faster. I quickly looked back and saw the tunnel disappearing behind me. I was almost out. I saw the tip of my board made it out onto the wave. Then the middle. And the back. The wall of water hit the back point of my surfboard. I lost balance for a second but caught myself. I twisted my feet to the left and went back staring at the shore. The wave ended and I hit the beach. I decided to cut down more trees. I had a project in mind.
Day 6-2
I went into the forest with my trusty axe and started cutting down trees. I cut tree by tree until I had so many logs that my pack was about to blow. I planted the saplings and went back to my house. I stored the logs into the chest and realized I couldn't fit all of the logs in there. I refined 2 logs and made a small chest. I put the chest up in my room and stored the rest of the logs. This project won’t start yet. I went outside to see another person lying on the ground. This one was a boy. I went over to see if he was all right. He sat up and introduced himself, “Um, hi. My name is Trevor and WHERE THE HELL AM I?” That was a good question considering that I had no idea where we were. Anyway, I told him about our mysterious appearance here. Of course I left out the notes. I told him to see John, who turned into my newbie trainer, to show him what to do here. He left. I was getting a little hungry so I went and got some fish. I noticed that we had this fish for a while and it hasn’t gone bad yet. It hasn’t been frozen and when we cooked it a few days ago, it stayed warm! At the furnace, there was a note.
Dear Ian,
I decided to make some changes to this world. Now you won’t be healed when you eat but instead you will lose hunger when you eat. Once you are full, You will start healing. Also I decided to put a type of village out by the desert. Go see it when you have a chance. And one more thing. Watch out for Endermans. They will destroy your house.
From,
The N
I wonder what an Enderman is. I’ll probably find out at night. I thought about getting somebody like Christina to come with me to the village, but I decided against it. I wanted to see if there was anything dangerous before the others went. I headed out through the desert. I was walking through the sand when I thought I heard someone cry in pain. I looked behind me and all I saw were cactuses. I shrugged it off and kept making my way towards the village. After a while, I saw a house. I ran towards it. Eventually I started making out some forms in the distance. When I got closer I saw that the people were wearing brown shirts and their hand were put together right in front of their stomachs. I went up to them and noticed their gigantic noses. The noses were so big that it covered their mouths. I wonder how they ate. I went up to one and said hi. The villager just looked at me. I was really confused. “What’s your name?” I asked. It finally said, “we are testificates. We rule the villages. You are allowed to trade with us. You are allowed to get crops from our farm. And you are allowed to live here. You are not allowed to hurt us or destroy our houses. Then we will unleash the wrath of the iron golem on you.”
“what is an Iron Golem?”
“The protector of our people. They help us defend from our worst enemy, Zombies.”
“where is this Iron Golem?”
The testificate pointed to the farm. There was a gigantic metal man with the same noses as a testificate. It had vines running up its back and he had a rose in his hand. “Can they talk?” I asked. The testificate said no. I heard a scream from behind me. I turned around and saw Trevor looking in fear at the giant metal man. “Trevor! What are you doing here! You’re supposed to be with John!”
“Where are we! What is that thing?”
“This is the Iron Golem that protects the testificates or villagers or whatever you call them from zombies.”
