"Each world has its own story. Even if you tried to get a story from me, I wouldn't be able to tell you half of it. There is so much life in each build and block, and each event has told their own tale. But it has to start somewhere." Fate has the oddest ways of getting people together. It might tear your world apart as you know it. It might give you loss and grief. It might even show you a side that you never knew you had. But it does all this for a reason. What is that reason? Well... You'll have to find out. This is the origin of how Hermitcraft came to be. Just remember-- Every end of a story is a new beginning for another. - Some information before you start the story: - This story takes place before Hermitcraft officially started, so maybe 7-8 years ago or so. - Despite this, though, the world is set in 1.13/1.14. - If you die, it's permanent. There are no respawn mechanisms. - The backstories for each character are based around events that happened in Season 6, which might not be relevant in seasons to come. - The total word count for this story is 49,001. It was originally published on October 16, 2019. - I try to mention each Hermit at least once, but I might have missed some. DISCLAIMER: This book does hint at a bit of shipping. I write ships based on the Hermits' Minecraft personas and not their actual IRL selves. None of this content is meant to offend anyone, it's purely a writing hobby. If any of the Hermits find any of my content disrespectful or uncomfortable, I have no problem in taking it down. With all that being said, enjoy the story!

COVER ART IS NOT MY ART!!! I REPEAT, COVER ART IS NOT MY ART!!! CREDIT TO @EvochiProtiv ON TWITTER FOR THE ORIGINAL COVER ART!!! EDITS MADE BY ME FOR THE COVER ART!!! ----------- He was done. Done being used and abused by everyone around him just because he was younger and more naïve. Well, that naivety and innocent trust he had is gone. He was done being walked all over. He finally understood what made Wilbur snap... what turned his honey brown eyes to that insane crimson... cuz he had gone off that same deep end. And all it took was the betrayal of being exiled by his now ex best friend and the torment of his abuser. OR The villain arc we all wanted from Tommy during the exile arc LOL MILESTONES: #1 Villain TommyInnit - 10/28/22 LETS GOOOOOO MY LITTLE STORY IS POPPING OFF!!! #1 TommyInnit Needs A Hug - 10/30/22 Pooooog :D He really do need a hug tho-
