A lone wolf strayed across the plains, unaware of the watchful eyes observing its every move. The small gray and white furry beast padded across the ground, head held high to sniff the air. Almost time. Then, suddenly, the wolf froze, whipping around to stare at the bush its hunter was crouched behind. And…go! The hunter of the wolf vaulted out of the bushes, wielding his bow expertly. The wolf yipped and recoiled from the hunter, yet unwilling to attack. The hunter thought to himself, You’re gonna have to do something.

He grabbed his bow and nocked an arrow, pulling back with firm hands. Aiming straight at the wolf, the hunter let go of the arrow and let it fly, hitting the wolf right in the forehead — but not killing it. The wolf barked and growled, its eyes immediately turning red. The hunter took a step back as the wolf hurtled towards him and quickly fired another arrow at the wolf. Oops, all out of bones. The arrow hit the wolf’s paw this time, causing it to stumble. But the wolf swiftly regained its composure and sprang off the ground, intent on killing the hunter. 

Looks like I can’t use my bow anymore! The hunter dropped his bow and drew his sword, slashing upwards just in time. The wolf yelped and fell back, its body flashing red as it died. The hunter cautiously walked over to the limp creature and watched as it disappeared in little white clouds. Two orbs of XP appeared in place of the wolf, and the hunter ran over the orbs to absorb the XP points.

“I wish that wolves would actually drop something,” the hunter said in real life. “I mean, is wolf meat really that overrated?”
The person who controlled the Minecraft hunter was named DiamondBlade28 — well, at least, that was his Minecraft username. DiamondBlade had been playing Minecraft for about six months now, and he had to admit that he had made pretty cool buildings. On Survival mode, he ruled. He was a master of surviving in the Minecraft world, and he had memorized the info of nearly every hostile mob. Nothing could survive him — well, he wasn’t exactly sure yet about that fact. He had never actually been to the End, because he still hadn’t found enough endermen and it hurt him to admit that. But he did have a pretty good idea of how to kill the Ender Dragon. And nothing annoyed him more than ignorant users who kept asking everyone how to do this and how to do that. He despised griefers and made sure to hide all of his bases and homes well to prevent griefers from finding them.

DiamondBlade28 rolled his eyes and moved on through the plain. Right now he was trying out a seed for a large village, and apparently it was located somewhere here. But all he saw was rolling plains. Ugh, DiamondBlade typed out to no one in particular — he was in single player mode, so he wasn’t quite sure why he was commenting. Maybe he just wanted to express his annoyance. This place has absolutely nothing!

Not true! came a response from some guy named Creeper671.

“What the heck?” DiamondBlade demanded of his computer. “I thought I was on single player!”

His computer did not reply.

This is single player. How are you on? DiamondBlade typed to Creeper671.

Creeper typed back, No clue. Com is glitchy. There was a pause, and then another comment from Creeper: At some cool village. Found like five emeralds — cool blacksmith!

Coming; where is it?

I’ll come find you

DiamondBlade typed OK and sprinted through the constant hills and grass, looking for the other user. A minute later, a user with a creeper-like suit on— well, of course it’d be a creeper — appeared over the horizon. Is that you, Creeper? DiamondBlade typed.
