Loading world...

Steve has went through a lot; defeating dragons, slaying 3 headed flying skeletons made from souls of the damned, slashing all seeing guardian fish underwater, stopping the attempts of the pillagers at conguering villages, traversing hell and back, exploring monuments left by long lost civilizations. Plunging deep in the dark to find elusive diamonds, tiptoeing around the mighty warden.

But the danger and the thrill of never knowing what might happen always overcame the creeping feeling of fear, failling and coming back with more knowledge and gear to better take on these challenges. Discovering the wonders of this blocky world was what made Steve's life fun.

It was truly fun, oh so fun, being met with surprises at every corner. Each mob, strutcure, block, biome, weapon, ore, boss and dimension fascinated Steve to his very core, urging him to see more, have a little bit more fun.

But repetiveness and dullnes is poison for fun, it might still have fragments of wonder in the first few dozen times seeing it but time would always drain every drop of fun in everything, slowly becoming a boring chore, the epitome of fun.

After hundreds of attempts, by pure trial and error fueled by nothing but curiosity, Steve managed to truly conquer this world standing at the peak of knowledge, mastering and optimizing every aspect of this game, sharpening his combat prowess and adaption to overcome new challenging enviroments curtesy of the world generation. He truly was unmatched

But being at the peak is lonely and that deeply resonated with Steve, nothing could stand in his way, he knew how they worked, every single counter and interaction they had. The challenges slowly became chores and he grew bored.

While readying himself to once again defeat the ender dragon in record time with a masterplan in mind for maximun efficency while the world generated. When the world was finally completed and Steve spawned in he couldnt believe his eyes

Instead of the green grass and hills with some farms animals and a distant small village he was accustomed to step foot in he was meet with a fountain sparkling clean pristine water behind him, stone roads and flashing sun, tall houses and establishments serving as walls for this unusual village, oversized lizards pulled carriages behing them and villagers without their signature big nose and crossed arms walk around minding their own bussines, some even running trade stalls

Some even had animal like features on them! Steve could only stare on his surroundings with child-like wonder, itching to discover and learn more of this new envirroment. Without much thought he wandered off the city looking around to bask in this never seen before beauty, almost completely unaware to the side glances he received from the habitants of this place, weirded out by his blocky look.

Worried whispers and terrified screams were heard by Steve, 'does this place also has pillagers?! They must be attacking this place' he thought while he sprint jumped to the location, a mob of onlookers covered the scene in the middle of the street. He managed to get through them to find a human child about to get hit by a speeding carriage pulled by oversized lizards.

He immediately sprung into action while the crowd grew horrified for the kid, jumping to the child to grab him out of the way, rolling away to the safe sidewalk with the child relatively unharmed as the carriage passed by. When Steve stood up all the onlookers started clapping their hands and cheering him up.

Steve didnt really know how to react as the crowd sang him praises, he never found himself in this situation before.
Steve wondered if he should just walk away and continue to explore this weird place but his line of thought was broken as he felt a cold sensation on his shoulder.

Steve looked behind to see who wanted his attention, it was a man completely clad in iron armor with an iron sword on his belt.

"You have shown true courage and quick thinking in saving that child from being run over by the carriage. Your actions were swift and decisive, a testament to your bravery and selflessness. I must say, young sir that i never saw before, you have certainly earned my respect." His voice was quite muffled but Steve was able to hear what he said.
