Chapter 1: House

Ray's POV

I swung my gold axe at the tree, little bits of bark flying off of the tree as the blade of my axe cut into the flesh of the tree with a thud. The side of the tree separated and out came the log I had cut out from the trunk. I picked up the small floating log that spawned after the chunk of the tree came off from the body. I needed more wood so I decided to cut down the rest of it, leaving all the leaves to float as I headed back to my house.

The house was medium in size and was built in the middle of a clearing, it was mainly made of oak wood, the top of the house was built from wood stairs. The windows were large, and were covered with glass panels. The front of the lane had a small garden that held potatoes, carrots, radishes and watermelons. Lanterns hung from the ledges above the door, which was a beautiful dark oak engraved with symbols and figures that represented my adventures. The last noticeable thing about the house was the large fence that surrounded the house shielding it from the outside world.

I felt relieved to have the house in my sights, you don't want to be stuck stranded in the middle of the forest at night, monsters, they lurk through the night.

I opened the fence closing it behind me and stepped inside of the house, I headed into the crafting room, I placed the blocks down on the craft table only in one block, I turned the raw wood into planks of wood, I stacked them into my chest and left the room, I'll use them tomorrow.

I climbed up the stairs and entered my room. I lifted the covers of the bed and slid under the sheets, it was comfortable, almost like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. As my eyes closed, I had a feeling someone was there or at least watching me, but I pushed the thought far back into my mind letting myself let go of consciousness and falling into a deep sleep.

Huh my dream kinda smells like fire wood, that's strange, a familiar fire smell stune my nose. I took in a deep breath coughing as ash and smoke filled my lungs. I shot up from the sleeping position, to see fire spreading all around my room, the fire lapping at the sides of my wood house turning it to ash.

As fast as I could I grabbed my diamond armour and weapons, the ceiling was coming down and fast. I bolted out the door only to watch my house burn and I couldn't do anything about it. Not many of the monsters were nearby as the fire drove them away. I fell to my knees in despair and sadness as the fire illuminated the dark night sky.

When morning rolled around I found myself pushing myself off the grass, I guess I fell asleep, in armour..., well who cares I should check my house. It was completely burnt down, nothing was left, it was just ash.

I had to create a new shelter before night. As I walked around the house looking for anything that survived, I noticed a pair of footprints that lead away from my house. The sheer anger I felt when I saw them is unmeasurable, someone had burned down my house, purposely. I was so mad that I didn't even come to realise that I wasn't alone, that there are others. I grabbed my sword that I left sitting beside me on the grass and started following the footprints.

The sun started to go down as I reached a cave where the footprints lead to. I cautiously shuffled into the cave slowly and quietly. There was a turn in the cave, on the other side I could hear the crackle of a fire and the footsteps of someone or something. I clutched my sword harder and readied the weapon in front of my chest. I could feel my heart beating, begging for revenge. With one last deep breath I turned the corner.

On the other side was a person-ish thing that stopped walking around at the sight of me, it had a greyish white hoodie-like-shawl hanging limply around its body, they had the hood on but I could still see a few black hairs poking from under its hood. The skin was black and it would glitch almost if it wasn't real. Those gleaming red eyes flamed with pure hatred.

I clenched my teeth and took a defensive position, this person or thing lit their fists on fire and started firing fireballs, they teleported after every shot. It might as well have been raining fire as I was getting hit by fireballs, barely being able to dodge one after the other. I used the diamond sword to deflect some of the fireballs that I couldn't dodge. I used the small space to my advantage. I jumped from one wall to the other until I was on the same level as the other person.

The sword was like my extended arm, I gripped the handle till my hands hurt, with one final boost I brought my sword through the other person's chest, we both landed on the ground on our feet with a thud.

I watched as this thing had a smile plastered on its face even after being stabbed, the smile grew wider and wider and small chuckles filled the room, those chuckles turned into laughs, they ripped the sword out of their chest and threw it onto the ground behind him, it's blood looked more like black code spilling out of it's chest.

It was shocking to say the least. Its health regenerated instantly. I forgot that if I die I die for real, I had forgotten to set a respawn point, so if I die i won't be able to respawn.

They're hands started to give off the orange hue, even before I could react its fist collided with my stomach, the force of the hit slammed me into the cave wall, even leaving an indent.

The being grabbed my neck and slammed my body into the wall repeatedly. I struggled against their grip, clawing uselessly at their hand that was quickly heating up. I could already feel the blood against my tongue, if he keeps this up he'll kill me.

I spat the blood out of my mouth to the side, I could feel another wave of blood rushing up my throat. The being held me against the wall, its hands burning imprints into my neck, lifting me a few inches off the floor, it's grip tightened. Black spots entered the sides of my vision slowly blurring out. My armor was cracked and scratched in multiple places, blood was running down the side of my forehead, probably had a cracked rib or 5, and the adrenaline was slowly being replaced with fear.

I tried kicking off the wall, it resulted in me getting slammed into the wall once again.

I couldn't stop the intrusive thoughts about my death. I took a peak at the health bar above my head. I was at 2 hearts now.

I needed some way of getting out of this death grip. I looked around for anything useful. I could feel the hand around my neck loosen just a bit, and that was the break I needed. I pried the hands off with the last of my remaining strength, I knocked the other entity over, and bolted for my sword.

They got up and it's hood came off, the entity's hair was jet black with specs of code littering the top, its eyes were fully black leaving only the red pupils to stare back at my soul. The skin was a dark shade of grey, and it looked like a male.

The being growled, a low rumble came from its throat, blood loss was getting to me, my eyelids were heavy as I fought to keep my eyes open. My legs buckled under the weight of my body. I used one hand to keep myself propped upright and the other to hold the sword.

"303!" a new voice came, my eyelids were already half way closed and my mind was hazy so i didn't register the voice as someone else.

All I could hear were loud bangs, explosions and shots being fired. The ground rumbled with each shot that was being taken. I couldn't think straight, my mind fogged up with all my thoughts scrambled. I tried to get up but immediately fell over, I was losing my grip on consciousness.

The cave was coming down fast, I could hear the shattering and the falling of rocks that hit the ground. I couldn't force my body to get up, with all the rest of my energy used up.

Just before I passed out I could myself being lifted off the ground, I pried my eyes open, only to see 2 glowing eyes looking down at me, just before everything went dark.

A/N this was the end of chapter one, and there it is I guess, I have no idea if 303 actually has fire powers, butttttt.... Who cares? Anyway I'll see you next time, I update pretty slowly so we'll see.
