Fall of Hermitcraft

Grian grew up only knowing Hermitcraft, in a perfect little bubble with his friends and older sisters, Pearl and Gem, where their only limit is their imagination and death is only a temporary setback. But as he gets older, he starts noticing things. The paranoia of Pearl, the strange trips that Xisuma goes on constantly, occasionally even bringing back a new Hermit. But something seems off about the reclusive Admin's trips.

Pearl isn't unfamiliar with the cruelty of the Gigaverse. She watched as a corrupt Admin took hold of her home server, infecting its people with a deadly virus that spread like a wildfire that took her, Gem, and Grian's parents. Then Xisuma and the Hermits came and tore it all down, saving her, Gem, and her brother in the process. She's done her best to protect Grian from the truth, but she knows that she can't protect him forever. And after they stumbles across a dangerous secret, their time only shortens.

As the fire of rebellion burns in the outside world, sides must be chosen and sacrifices made. But all is not as it seems, and a mysterious force keeps a firm eye on the Gigaverse...
