MINECRAFT CREEPYPASTA

Chapter 3~ Life on "glitch"

Well,  as I exited the menu, I was shocked. Flabbergasted. Call it what you will. But in my containment unit was a mutilated, bloody, miserable Notch-skinned mob. I panicked now, pausing the game and calling for my bigger brother. He was a computer nerd, and he played Minecraft also. He would know what to do, I hoped. 

He walked in my room and saw that thing in glass, and suggested I trapped a zombie and changed the zombie texture. I told him I didn't, and I proceeded to show him my start menu. I demonstrated my "glitch" difficulty, and even had him play with it. I had his attention now. So he pushed me out of the chair and started opening all my minecraft files, searching textures, names, mobs, everything.

But... Nothing was changed. It was all normal code, just the same as his copy. I figured it must be in the code players can't see, but my brother just called me an idiot. As we went back to my paused save, the mutilated Notch thing was gone. In it's place was air, but the tiles in glass were splattered with blood.

My brother looked out all my windows, and saw, instead of regular mobs, bloody ones. He gave the game back to me but I begged him not to leave, because I am the wuss in the family. I explored outside, but not even the creepers took interest in me. Their usual green shades and hues were now mixed with dark splotches of red and green; I assumed it was it's own blood and other creatures' as well.

I came along a pure white cow eventually, his skin stained with blood. I punched him to see what would happen, and he died in one hit. He dropped nothing, but my game froze. Then the menu opened, and went straight to options. I saw the difficulty was now set on "Murderer."

My brother once again took over. He told me to go do something while he screwed around with my file. I saw he was taking notes as he went through codes and played the game.

Later, as he called me back in, he showed me the notes. I saw in the options that the difficulty had changed this time to "Monster." I assumed the game was calling the player a monster from killing, but I wasn't sure. I looked over my brother's notes, and most of it was save code that had recorded my strange world. I did pick out a few major things, tho.

Monsters lost all interest in me, and were everywhere, day and night. They were always covered in blood, and died with one punch.

Some random blocks would have blood on them, and when a mob was killed, it would stain several random ones around it with red goop.

No mobs ever dropped anything, and they seemed to be miserable. As if they had no reason to live and took the punch as a gift.

My brother had seen one other Notch, but it was dead. It was lying on the ground in the largest radius of bloody blocks found, and it was covered in blood. 

I knew now this was no glitch, someone hacked my game. Come to think of it, accounts have been getting hacked lately. This was probably from horrible passwords and what not, but what if there was a hacker out there? What if some bastard was doing this to other people? My brother and I took this bloody world as an opportunity to see if there was something out there, something that lurks and none of us wants to meet.
