Early in the morning, around 8 am, I got up and started my daily routine. What I didn't know yet, was that that day would change my life. As I was going about my morning, I noticed that I needed to go out to my farm to harvest the crops I'd planted. I went out to the large arm a few kilometres away.

By the time I was heading back to my cottage, I noticed an odd light coming from my house. As I got closer, I realized it was a fire. I didn't know how it happened. The only thing I could salvage from the fire was my ender chest, with my set of netherite armor, tools and a water bucket. It also contained a few ender pearls. Luckily I had my food back at my farm. I lived on my own out in the middle of nowhere so I really couldn't sit around and mourn the loss of my cottage. I went behind my house to the smaller shed-like building behind it made out of quartz and obsidian. Residing in that shed, was a nether portal.

I entered the portal and started collecting netherrack and quartz. While I was mining through the netherrack, I ended up mining into a path already carved into the netherrack. I really didn't have anywhere else to go since I'd abandoned my home. So I followed the path. Yes. I do know that it sounds dumb, but I really wasn't thinking much. My home did just burn down after all.

As I followed the path in the netherrack, it came into a clearing. With another path. A wider one. So I continued to follow it. The path came to a nether portal I hadn't seen before. So I went through it. Because I could. Was this a good idea? Probably not. Do I care? No.

When I exited the portal, I was in a place I'd never been before. There were quite a few large buildings around me, and several smaller ones as well. As I looked around, I noticed a taller guy with blonde hair behind me. I took a better look at him. He wore jeans and a faded green hoodie. Covering his face was a white smiley face mask. To be honest, the mask kind of freaked me out. The man came up to me. "Who are you?"
