Chapitre 1: Chapter 1.Minecraft: loading new world
It was a beautiful day outside, where the rivers were lazily running through the hills, the trees covered the earth with rich branches that left shadows all around them, and the animals were living in peace with nature.
Suddenly, something different disturbed the peace, a black spot appeared out of nowhere in the air, it was plain and mesmerizing at the same time, it didn't stop just there it grew bigger and bigger when suddenly as it stared it stopped.
Out of the black spot a man was roughly thrown out, he was not a normal man, he was tall, wore a plain white shirt and some black pants, he had brown hair, brown eyes, and the most unusual thing, he was made of squares. But he wasn't the only one like that, the trees were made of squares, the earth had the shape of a square, and even the animals had the edges of a square.
It was a world made of squares.

I opened my eyes only to be immediately blinded by the sun.
"Ugh* why is the sun so strong? and why-.... Is that a tree from Minecraft?"
Suddenly I stopped rubbing my eyes and looked confused at the tree of a popular game from my childhood, after a few quiet minutes trying to understand what had happened I started to look around only to see that everything was cube-shaped.
"Did I watch too many Minecraft videos and now I'm having dreams about it?"
That could be possible since it wouldn't be the first time when I binge-watched a show or a game and went to sleep quickly afterward. And if I didn't finish the series, my mind would try very hard to continue that activity even in my sleep.
But still, this one felt different.
"Maybe I can even open up my inventory *Ha Ha"
*POP*
Suddenly a gray window appeared, which took me by surprise.
"What! Is this my inventory? and it's empty, who would've thought."
I say this to no one in particular, but this action alone managed to calm my nerves which were slowly rising.
"Well, let's go and have some fun until I wake up! "
I got up on my feet and went to do one of the most essential steps of the game, which was getting some wood.
The tree was not too far from me, and with excitement that I didn't know I had, my punch went full force at the defenseless tree trunk.
"AW! Why did it hurt? Isn't this supposed to be a lucid dream?"
Then the new reality struck me like a brick. I wasn't dreaming, I felt pain, I'm alive in this bizarre world. How did I get here? my memory is a little fuzzy but I don't remember dying like other characters.
But I put a stop to that train of thought because I knew it was not the time for me to panic but take action and build a shelter before night. I looked at the position of the sun, it was right above me, which meant that I only had half of the day before it was dark.
I looked at the tree again with determination.
"With pain or not I still have to get wood. Sorry tree, nothing personal. "
Then I started to punch the block like a madman, until all of a sudden the block of wood disappeared with a simple pop sound, leaving the tree floating mysteriously in the air, ignoring the laws of gravity that I was so used to. Still in pain, I looked around to see where the block was, but with no luck.
I then remembered that I had an inventory now, so I quickly opened it and there it was, a piece of Oakwood occupying one of my previously empty slots. On the upper right corner, there was my crafting 2 x 2 square, where I quickly put the login, and converted it into 4 planks, then out of those I took 2 to craft 4 sticks.
" I may be desperate to work quickly, but that doesn't mean that I should work stupid, I don't know if I can nor do I want to find out if I can destroy my hands handicapping myself, so I'll use a stick to be safer"
My inventory was a 9 by 4 square with two separate smaller squares beside the inventory tab that represented my hands. I dragged the stick to my right hand, and out of nowhere I had a straight stick with the length of a meter, it felt unnatural but beautiful.
I swung the stick at the tree block with newfound force, but instead of the wood cracking like expected, my stick snapped into two to my great surprise.
"So sticks are not indestructible as in the game, they're more like a real stick in a way. Maybe it would work if I stabbed it instead of swinging at it?"
And I raised my hand with another stick, and stabbed the top of the log with it, and to my relief the stick didn't break, and a crack appeared on the wood block.
"Yay for my fists, but time is ticking so should quickly upgrade to the wooden axe, but for that I the crafting table. Don't know how that would work, but this is Minecraft now, so I shouldn't question it."
I broke the rest of the tree down and started to prepare the crafting table while waiting for the leaves to decay.
After it was done and placed on the grass, I started to notice something different. The crafting table looked more 3D, I mean I am in a 3D world in general but the texture in the game was just a cube with an image on it so it didn't feel too real, but the one in front of me had depth, it had design and texture to the touch, it even had some tools beside it that I could pick it up.
I tried to take one for a closer look, but then an invisible force stopped me from taking it more than one block away from the crafting table.
"So I can't use those as a weapon, I can only use them for crafting in some way. But first, let's see if I can make the axe in the first place. "
I put the recipe in the 3 x 3 squares, 2 sticks, and 3 wooden planks, then like magic a holographic arrow appeared pointing to a wooden axe placed in a square.
I tried to grab the axe, but my hand went through the image like it wasn't there.
"Hmm, maybe I should use those tools around the table? "
I picked up a hammer and hit the center square of the recipe, the sticks and planks started to deform and merge, but it wasn't completely done, so I hit it a few more times, and then a wooden axe appeared out of nowhere on top of the crafting table.
"Wow! I didn't expect that to happen, and -AUCI! The edge of the blade is pretty sharp, even if it's made from wood."
With the new tool at my disposal, I started then to cut down more trees around me with more ease and efficiency, and even though I could see the durability going down, I didn't need to worry since I could always make a new one.
Slowly the sun started to go down, I decided to stop collecting and start building my first shelter in this new world.
Quickly I opened up my inventory to see my progress.
-70 Oakwood
-23 sticks
-10 Apple's
"Even though I had to make another axe, that was a pretty good harvest if I say so myself! But now I'm hungry and thirsty, looks like this world isn't like the Vanilla Minecraft that I know of, I should look for a source of water now, then I'm going to build around it. "
After I broke the crafting table, I started to wander through the woods searching for my next location. Luckily for me after about 10 minutes of wondering I started to hear the noise of running water, I quickly got there and saw a 3-block-wide river.
With a smile on my face, I started to get closer to it.
"Not too small and not too deep, this is perfect for me! "
But even with this stroke of luck, It was a bit of a challenge for me to drink since I didn't have palms or a bucket where I could hold the water, so I had to get on all fours to drink it directly from the source, hoping that the water was drinkable.
After I had my fill, I ate two apples and started to look more closely around me to see what kind of place I was now.
It was a small clearing surrounded by woods, and the river running through the center of, it was the perfect place to start a small base.
" Ok, let's start building then! "
I quickly made a 5x5x3 tall house cube out of wooden planks, with a doorframe facing right towards the river, but quickly after I placed the door to fill the space.
The newly placed door didn't have windows like in the game, instead, it was smooth wood down. Maybe it's better this way since I don't want to be shot by a skeleton through them.
After everything outside was done I went inside where it was dark, and that didn't make me too comfortable, I didn't have torches to light up the place, and I didn't know if mobs could even spawn there like in the game.
So the only choice that I could think of at the moment was to use slabs on the floor to stop my growing anxiety.
Outside is slowly getting darker and darker, and even though the door looked very sturdy I didn't trust it too much, so I put some planks on the door leaving space only for my hand to go through where I can freely open the door.
After everything was done I crashed on the wooden floor in exhaustion. I'm in a different world, a video game world on top of that, and I don't even know how I got here! Why I'm I even here? Will I be able to get back to my home planet?
Slowly my mind grew tired like my body, even though I used an axe to get materials that still made me exhausted. With a bed or not, I'm going to sleep, tomorrow me is going to deal with the rest of the problems.
I closed my eyes and sent my mind into the sweet embrace of sleep.
