With my back against the door, I waited and thought. I had injuries that would be considered near-fatal, but somehow they didn't bleed or even hurt at all. I peered through the door and saw the spider that could have killed me. It was big for a spider and had glowing red eyes that were fixed right on my door as it continued to jump and screech with anger.
Turning around to my workbench, without thinking I put two planks on a stick and in moments made a wooden sword. With a hit towards the door it immediately swung open and invited the spider. It took a few slashes, but he curled over and withered away, and dropped two flat pieces of string. I collected these, and before I could wonder what these would be good for, I heard another noise. It sounded something like "bbrains...." and gargling sounds from only I could imagine. A blocky world with skeleton archers, spiders, and zombies? It seems either insanity is sinking in, or I need to figure out how to get out of this nightmare.
While putting 7 sticks in an "H" formation and creating two ladders, I decided to dig into the ground to see what kind of ore I could use to survive. I dug with my shovel, then with my pickaxe when I hit stone. I discovered iron ore, a peach colored mineral that I had to upgrade to stone to collect. I used 8 of the stone I collected to make a furnace, and used coal to smelt the iron ore cubes I obtained.
Because of my strange super powers, It was apparent I didn't need to heat rock to extreme temperatures to create a sword, I could make one with my bare hands! Burrowing more of my mineshaft, I reached a cavern, and when I put a torch in the dark abyss I saw something terribly strange. Half in the darkness there was a green creature with four tentacle-like legs, and on its face was a wide-eyed look of pure horror. Its look was suddenly fixed on me as it started charging forward. I turned around and ran, but was too slow. With a hissing sound, there was an explosion and all I saw was nothing but red and spinning.... spinning..
With a sudden intake of breath, I found myself standing on sand with a pool of still water right beside me. The same place I awoke less than two days before. It appears every time I'm killed I appear at this spot. Interesting...
On my way back to the shelter, I noticed two things: there were no zombies, skeletons, spiders, or those weird green things around at all, and they seem to have been replaced with farm animals. I saw a herd of cows, and I became intimidated. "Are they friendly?" I thought timidly. But my fears seemed unnecessary as the cows just looked at me, then continued to meander and occasionally moo. I utilized my punching abilities to see what would happen. It yelped in pain, then continued as if nothing happened. I then started to punch the cow until it keeled over and disappeared, and in its place were two flat pieces of leather hide. Continuing past the rest of the cows, I noticed a herd of pigs, and I proceeded to kill them to obtain porkchops.
When I found my wooden house, curiosity got the best of me as I climbed down the ladder to the cavern where I was killed. I found that my corpse seemed to have disappeared, and there was a sizable crater that opened up the cavern to another entrance. All of my items were scattered across the stone floor and the crater that the creeper created.
To be continued....
