The Brine Apocalypse

The Discovery

There is always one thing Notch and I always fight over: territory.

While Notch is looking for more, possibly "safer" land, I am trying to make more safe land for my minions, since his players would never stop destroying mine. In revenge, I turn human civilizations into monster havens. Trust me, they like both the lands and the havens until one player just has to come around and destroy everything.

While he has the players to roam around wherever they please, I'm stuck with small areas that I have to force my way through. He just has to call me and my fellow minions monsters when his players are the ones destroying the surrounding areas and killing anything in their path. If anything, it's not the player, but the "monster" that is rightfully where they should be. Sure, I see a few players who respect nature around them, and I give them a little thank you note. And I make sure they know it's from me.

So, what do I do on my free time? Nothing. Just walking around aimlessly, trying to see something good in the world. I'm tired of seeing war. I'm t--.

My train of complaints were cut off short when a flash of grey from behind me caught my attention. I jumped and looked at it as strange noises filled the air. I was startled, shaking like a kid in the dark. Was this a new monster? A boss?! My body felt lighter at the thought of a new way to get rid of these blind peasants.

Before I could control myself, I jumped through it. Within seconds, I was in a new world.

I looked around, seeing that I was in a dark corridor that lead to light. The air was thick with dust and something rotting. I felt a chill go up my spine as wind whipped through the area. I just happened to look up to see someone's pants, just there was blood on it, and it looked like pants that belonged to a player that didn't have legs.

I sighed and looked toward the lit area. I didn't understand what was going on, so I just simply walked out of the corridor.

There were so many players. So many... wait. Are these players? I don't sense any code off them. Are they that good at hiding it? What is even go--?

"Hey!" I jumped as I hears someone shout. I turned to see a male... whatever they are walking up to me, barely able to walk in a straight line. I would have laughed if I had known what was going on. He stumbled over me, the smell of spoiled food coming from him, making me gag as he spoke in a slurred accent, "you're the guy who was sleepin' wit' my wife, weren't you?"

I felt my eye twitch as I backed up. I instantly knew that he wasn't in his right mind, thinking I would sleep with something that would marry something stupid enough to eat bad food and stumble around.

"Yeah. I've seen ya wit' my wife." He then went into a long monologue of cussing and gibberish before trying to punch me.

Almost carelessly, I grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it, making him fall to the ground with a scream of pain.

He wretched, "you'll pay, you--."

I turned my back on him and walked off silently. A new anxiety was going through the roof. Is this the new monster? Players can easily kill it. Maybe there are tougher versions of this one? I hope so. While thinking all this, I tried to figure out how to cross the dark grey solid that was being flatten the strange metal minecarts that, for some reason, had no need of railings.

I watched them all, just not knowing what to do. Soon, what I first thought was a witch came up to me, "excuse me, young sir, but do you need help with anything?" It was an elderly female, or at least I think she's elderly. Her dress was pink with what I can only think of as dark pink roses on the hip, though the air around her was pretty thick with flavored air of some sort. What did she put on herself? Some potion to try attracting me?

I shook my head, despite my lack of understanding of what's going on.

She nodded, "God bless you." She then hobbled off, the man that I had hurt earlier not too far from her.

The man pushed her out of the way, making her fall to the ground and yell in pain as he looked in my direction, "there you are!"

Simply not wanting any of it, I looked to the dark solid and metal minecarts to see that the minecarts had stopped. I took my chances and ran through them. I didn't want to be confronted so soon. I just needed some time to--.

I was caught off, yet again, by another external problem. This time, it was something hitting me. All I knew was that my feet were out from under me and some glass shattered, making my back feel like a thousand little glass shards broke my skin before being thrown to the ground in front of me. I blacked out for a moment, only to emerge from it to see the same guy that I was trying to escape from on top of me.

He raised a fist and was only an inch from my head when someone else tackled him. He fell to the ground with an angry cry.

I tried sitting up when three or four creatures came out of nowhere, pushing me back down to the ground.

One of them, a young female, gently put her hands on my shoulders, "hey, hey. Don't move. You're going to be okay."

No I'm not... when I get home, I'm so dead...

An older female gently put her hand on me, "what's your name?"

I nearly choked as I said my own name for the first time in forever, since my fame is through the roof where I have come from, "H-Herobrine..." if I wasn't about to have an axiety attack about how many creatures are keeping me down, I would have said "ever heard of a book?" But I guess it was a stupid idea to say that out loud when I am being held hostage in plain view.

-----------------

Hey everyone! I'm so happy that I have decided to make this thing. And I know that making Hero hurt in the first chapter would just be so wrong, but I promise I will make sure that he isn't too hurt. So, how does it feel so far? Is it okay? So remember the following:
