1282 Words
When he opened his eyes, he was staring at the open blue sky. Kurohito seemed confused, maybe he's still half asleep and is dreaming still...
"What... did I just saw the sky, no that can't be it..."
He ponders
He tries to rub his eyes, to get a clear view. Because it can't be... there's no way he would see sky above him, last he know he was in his house sleeping and it did had a roof on top.
Perhaps he's still half asleep he thought.
"That can't be it... I was sleeping in the bedroom, how can there be sky up above... maybe.. maybe I'm still dreaming.."
He thought to himself.
He looks again... fiercely turning his head left... then right... while making a confused and concerned look.
But what he saw was not a mirage, there was indeed sky above him.
He gets Startled, gets up from the sleeping posture. Sitting on the ground...
He looks around him...
The whole world is different.
"WHAT THE HELL..."
He shouts...
"This is not my house... wait this isn't even Japan"
"Where the hell am I"
Shouting, but there's no one to reply.
He gets up and starts looking around and touching things to make sure this is real. But it can't be... right?
The world is made of cube the trees are made of cubes even... even the clouds are made of cubes.
"Am I dreaming..."
He thought
"I don't think this is really happening..."
"I'll try punching myself, if it doesn't hurt then it's definitely a dream... Yea I'll do that"
Confused as to where he is, he comes up with a plan.
Kurohito prepares himself to endure for a punch.
"Now... 1... 2... 3... and... Pun.c.h."
He punches himself with all the strength he has.
"Oouuuch......"
"That hurts... that hurts a lot.... that means I'm not dreaming this is all real..."
"All of what I'm seeing is real..."
The punch did damage to him, shown by a UI pop-up in the connor of his eyes.
...
[After some time]
He was still processing everything up to now.
He doesn't know how this happened because all he remembers is sleeping at night in his house.
What happened after and before that he can't seem to remember.
"I don't know what's happening, all I know is that, this is not normal"
"I need to find my way out of here"
"As I'm looking around I feel like I've seen this world before, but can't remember... When..."
"The world is made of cubes... where have I seen cubes before..."
He tries to remember this world trying to go through all his memories... But nothing comes to mind. Until a sheep walks Infront of him. Then a burst of memories comes to mind.
He remembered where this place is.
A memory where he used to experience this world with his friends... but the memory is to blurry...
"Aaaahhh.... I remember it now... this is... this is the world of MINECRAFT"
He gets filled with excitement...
"Yea... I used to play this game a lot"
Now getting over excited.
"But can't remember when..."
Excitement fading away.
"But anyways, I now know where I'm now so I should try to survive this place."
"Because I know it will be dangerous at nig...h..t..."
He's tone gets low as he sees the sun setting. The blue sky slowly turning blue then red then black. Meanwhile he's face slowly turning from exited when he found where he was to scared because he knows night is dangerous..."
He starts running towards a forest to gather wood to get started as Monsters may start spawning at any moment now.
"I should hurry and get some tools going... I haven't played Minecraft for a long time but I still remember stuff."
"I need to chop down a tree first... all the way to the top and shouldn't leave any floating blocks."
"Then craft a Crafting Table and some sticks"
"To craft a Wooden Pickaxe to mine stone"
"For that I should find a small cave with exposed stones..."
"But first of all I don't even know if I can punch a tree or not"
"And how do open my Invento..r..y"
As he says inventory a UI pops up Infront of his eyes like he was playing in VR.
"I guess that's how..."
He got surprised by that.
"If this works now I'll try punching a tree..."
He punches a tree
Again...
And Again...
And Again...
Until the block completely breaks...
"Ohh.. Ok so this does not hurt my hand, this works like Minecraft logic."
"So now I'll go along with what I said before and get some tools going..."
...
Then to mine stones he enters a small cave. Slowly entering and mining stones, he crafts stone tools. As he was leaving the cave a swarm of Zombies starts walking towards him.
"Ouchhhh..... what hit me..."
He shouted in pain...
He turned around...
And immediately starts running for his life when he saw that it was a Zombies...
"Ohh... no... no... no..."
"It's a Zombie, in a normal game of Minecraft I wouldn't have ran, I would have killed them..."
"But.... here it's different, I don't know if I'll respawn when I die..."
"And I'm not willing to Experiment it either."
"Maybe it's like a normal game and I will respawn... But... what if, there's a possibility it's in Hardcore."
"Which will mean if I die... it's Game Over."
He's running while thinking to himself, dodging any and every mob that comes in his way.
"I'm getting tired by running for this long..."
"I can't run forever, I'm also getting hungry..."
Getting tired...
"I should stop now and dig a hole to stay there till morning comes..."
"Maybe I can even rest like this..."
Kurohito digs a hole and buries himself.
"I feel ashamed doing this... as a Veteran Minecrafter I shouldn't be doing this... I'm better at this game then this."
"But at the same time I don't wanna die"
"I'll try sleeping, I don't know if it'll work without a bed or not, but I'll still try..."
Kurohito closes his eyes and lays down to sleep... he fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, the outside noise of Monsters seems to have been gone. It's quite now.
"Huh... did I actually fall asleep, you can fall asleep without a bed?"
"Well then I should dig out of here, and see if it's actually day or not..."
He digs out of the hole, and to his suprise it is actually Day. And there are no Monsters around, seems they all despawned.
"Huh.. so I can fall asleep without a bed... well that's good."
"That'll mean I don't have to carry a bed around..."
"But waking up... I'm hungry... I should get some food."
Then he goes on a hunt and kills every Chicken, Sheep, Cow or Pigs he encounters. And builds a small starter hut for him to live.
He crafts some furnaces to cook all the meat, craft a bed anyway because it's more comfortable in it. Makes a wheat farm, catches some animals too for meat supply. Builds a mine to gather resources like iron and coal.
He lives his life comfortably, completely adapted to his new lifestyle as if he is playing Minecraft completely forgetting that he's stuck here.
"I don't have to worry about food..."
"I don't have to worry about shelter, as I built this amazing house..."
"I even got lots of good ores by mining in the mine I created..."
"But... but..."
"But I feel like I'm forgetting something..."
"hmmmm... what is it..."
"I did forgot something...right?"
"Well nevermind I'll remember it someday"
