I stab the zombie in front of me with my iron sword. I am lucky there is no blood coming out of the zombies as I decapitate the zombie. Unlike in the game, the zombies in front of me have arms that can grab me. Their body is still blocky, but there is a detail that the game does not have.
Their claws are sharp, and they have teeth that can tear flesh if I am not careful. I did not need to rely on natural Minecraft healing, as it hurt like a bitch.
"Are you doing okay, Melisandre?!"
I shout while stabbing all the zombies in front of me with my sword. I ensured they did not use each other to climb the wall and run away to lure them away.
"Yes, my lord! However, I have a question!"
I swing my sword to cut the hands that try to pull me over.
"Ask away."
I thrust my sword, stabbing the neck of the zombie, and swing to the side to cut its head off.
"Are they the others?!"
"Nope! They are an imitation of the Others! The real deal will be more intelligent and stronger than these guys. They will not die with a normal sword and arrows."
After saying that, I create a stone pillar with me on top, remove a TNT from my inventory, and prime it using flint and steel before throwing it outside the wall.
"Fire in the hole!"
I shout, and a few seconds later, the TNT explodes and kills a lot of the zombies. I take out another TNT, prime it, and throw it out the wall. I did not have much TNT; only seven were left in my inventory. I need to ration them and hunt more creepers for their gunpowder.
I destroy the pillar and use my sword to kill more zombies near the wall.
===
After a couple of hours of fighting, the zombies are finally gone. I lean over the wall and release a sigh as my eyes look at the cube moon above me.
"My lord."
I look to the side and see Melsandre walking toward me. She is very useful in the fight. She makes sure to kill the zombies that manage to sneak past me and attack me with their claws and teeth.
Not only that, but she also stands there fighting instead of running away from the scene, which looks like coming out of your nightmare.
"What is it? Also, how are you? Is there any injury?"
She shakes her head and says.
"No, my lord. The undead did not reach me. However, the skeletons almost hit me when I focused on the one underneath me."
"Right. That's good."
"Can I ask if you fight them every single night, my lord?"
"Hmmm? Not really. Once in a while, I will go underground to sleep and let the sun kill them. However, I need to kill them as much as possible."
"Can I ask the reason why?"
I look at her and say.
"Because it makes me a little bit stronger each time I kill them."
EXP is a little bit different than in the game. Instead of just numbers, it strengthens me the more I have them. It also makes me weaker the more I use them in enchantment. Because of this, I decided to gather them as much as possible, so I did not need to worry about getting too weak.
Of course, the EXP is not my overall power. It is a boost or a buff that can disappear the less EXP I have. I can still get stronger the old way, and the EXP will add more to it. I am still training in the old way while gathering EXP to become more powerful. I need all the help I can get to survive in this cursed world.
"I see. This world is truly a blessing from the Lord! He gives you a test but makes sure to reward you. As expected of our lord."
"Right."
I will tell her that it was not her God who gave me this power but rather the God of Death of this world.
"Anyway, help me gather all the loot outside."
"Hmmm? Do you mean the flesh, my lord?"
"No. Not the flesh but rather the bones, string, and spider eyes. We did not only fight zombies, after all."
"I see. Then I shall gather them all."
"Here." I gave one of the torches in my inventory. "Take this. It is dark outside."
She nods, and the two of us leave the wall.
===
"Finally!"
I shout in happiness as I see blue light coming from the cobblestone.
"Diamond!"
I dig around the diamond and see there are seven diamonds. Seven diamonds! I can make an enchanting table, pickaxe, and a sword with that amount of diamonds! After days of mining, fighting, and fishing, I finally got diamonds, and it was my last day here.
I shake my head and run up the stairs back to the surface, where I can see Dany and Melisandre playing with the sheep and pigs.
"Vy!"
Dany shouts when she sees me and starts to run toward me. I laugh a little, run toward her, and pick her up. I hear her laugh as I spin her around and let her sit on my shoulder. I look at Melisandre and say.
"Thank you for taking care of her, Melisandre."
"It is not a problem, sir. Lady Daenerys is a pleasant child to take care of."
With her looking after Dany, I could focus on mining, and I did not need to be careful to wake her up while mining.
"That's good. How is the farm?"
"They are doing great, my lord! As you commanded, I plant medical herbs on the eastern side of the farm and plant fruit trees on the western side."
"And how many of them did you manage to harvest?"
"With the help of the bone meal, I manage to harvest one small chest full of them."
"Perfect! We can sell them when we get out of here. I will take them and sell them when we have a good foundation. Good work."
"Thank you, my lord! When do we leave this place?"
"Hmmm? We will leave this place just before the sun above us. A few hours from now on. Why?"
"I want to offer a sacrifice to Lord R'hllor before we leave this place. I want to thank him for the blessing he has given us."
"Right. You do that."
For the past month, she has been busy not only taking care of Dany but also building a temple not too far away from my farm. While in here, she gets a small amount of the ability of a Minecraft player. What I mean is that she can take out items from the inventory, but she cannot take the ones that are already outside the inventory without carrying them to their full weight.
She can carry the cobblestone straight out of the chest, but she cannot pick the stone that she or I place on the ground. The only exception is a chest, as according to her, the chest did not weigh much, only a few kilograms at most.
Not only that, she also did not have an inventory like me. That means she needs to carry a small or large chest around if she wants to build something.
I shake my head and release a sigh. This is it. This will be a new start for Dany and me. I will make sure to give her a good childhood, unlike in the show and book. I will also make sure she does not get into the deep end like in the show.
I will make sure we have a good life.
