I left the village early in the morning and went to find some breakfast. This time, I ate some roasted pork and decided to take a bath in the nearby lake. My mother would be proud of me, if she could see me right now – I was cooking (or sort of), I remembered to wash up and I even cleaned after myself in the hut.
The water was bright blue and, although, there was not a proper beach, the terrain was descending gently and I was able to enter the water without great difficulties.
There was no fish or any other animals around and I took my time swimming around and enjoying the clean and cool water. That was the moment when it hit me – I had no idea how to get out of here. I mean, I had been in Minecraft almost five days now and still did not know how I got here in the first place.
Those thoughts brought me down considerably and I exited the water to sit on the shore. I even cried a little, imagining my mother and all the little things she does for me.
Lost in thoughts I did not see another monster coming my way. After my adventure last night, I was very cautious about the scary Minecraft mobs, so when I saw the green Creeper approaching me, all I can think about was to run, and run fast.
Stay away from me… please, stay away from me…
The Creeper was only five or six blocks away from me and was starting to hiss loudly. This time, however, I knew what to expect. My girlfriend had taught me that these creatures would hiss, flash and explode when close to a player.
Therefore, I had no time to lose; I needed to run as fast as possible, to get away from it.
Fortunately, I was able to gain speed and put a distance between us. God, what would happen, if I get killed inside Minecraft?
I will need to be more careful in the future and stay away from mobs that may hurt me in some way. Now I was sorry, I had spent so much time laughing and making fun of my girlfriend, instead of learning something about the Minecraft world.
My life here would have been much easier, if I knew more about the creatures that inhabit it and the way things worked here.
Chapter 6
Friday – Caves drive me crazy!
Thursday night I was not able to find the village. It was as if it had simply disappeared. I suppose that after I run from the Creeper, I lost my way and now was not able to find the only place where I felt safe.
This was a big problem for me, as I had no orientation or something to point me the right way.
I wandered around until it started getting dark and finally decided to sleep in a cave that I found, while searching for the village.
The cave was not a big one, but at the far end of it there was a small passage that probably led deep into the mountain. I was cold, as the mountain was covered in snow and, although, there was a waterfall of lava nearby, I hesitated going there.
I had heard multiple horror stories about lava and what it can do, so I stayed away from it. The night was going to be very cold, but I hoped that my Minecraft clothes would be enough for me to survive it.
I was afraid of falling in the lava and this time actually dying. So, the cave looked as a good option considering the alternative. I went inside and simply laid down, as I had no means to start a fire or light a torch (it never occurred to me to use my laser vision).
I did not sleep at all that night, as from both outside and inside the cave were coming strange and very scary sounds. I could recognize the hissing of the Creeper and the yell of the Enderman, but the rest were a mystery to me.
Minecraft was a dangerous place, especially during the night and I was beginning to learn that I was not equipped to deal with it.
In the morning, after a crazy night, I considered going outside, but my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to explore the cave. Now, that I could see, it was easy to find a fallen branch and make it into a torch with my laser vision (now that I had a whole night to think about it).
I walked into the tunnel that started at the end of the cave and saw that there were multiple tunnels that leaded in different directions. It was exciting, but I was also a bit afraid. I knew that most of the monsters lived in the dark and what better place for them then than the caves?
I choose to explore the middle tunnel and for the next half an hour walked amidst grey and black blocks. I could tell that I was going deeper underground, until I saw the light. The tunnel had another natural entrance that faced some deep and dark ravine. What was I thinking of?
I traced my steps to the place where the tunnel separated into two smaller ones and this time chose a different direction. I could feel myself getting tired and scared with each new step, but the hope that I would see the sun was still there.
After what seemed like ages my tunnel ended into a dungeon, where I can see a monster spawner. Now, this was scary! It was one thing to face a single monster, but to face a group of them, was too much for me.
That was about it. I did not even wait to see what kind of monsters were coming out of it, before running towards the exit of the dungeon. It was a long run that left me exhausted, but finally I saw the light.
I found myself high in the mountain, with multiple animals walking around. Okay, so far so good. It was still sunny outside, so no monsters in sign.
I promised myself that I was never going again inside a cave. If I remembered well, I could find there many useful things and materials, but truth be told, I had no idea how to collect them (once again, my inexperience was showing).
Therefore, no more cave exploration…
Chapter 7
Saturday – I am useless…
What should I do now?
After a few days spent in the Minecraft world, I found out that my survival skills do not go much beyond breathing. That is absolutely right. I was almost killed twice by hostile mobs, lost the only place that I reminded me of home and almost get myself killed in the caves.
And to think that in my world (the real one) I was a real bad ass, with many friends and awesome qualities. I was the best basketball player of my class and not a bad student, considering the rest of my friends.
But here… here I was no one… Even the rabbits, I ate, were more brave and equipped to survive here.
Look at me now…
I had no home, no food, no other human friend (or animal, for the matter), no way to get out of here and no means to protect myself.
I was very much like a newborn baby that needs someone to take care of it.
Therefore, I spent the whole day lying around and feeling sorry for myself, while desperately trying to remember something that can help me to survive.
Saturday Evening
By the time I was ready to start crying, I remembered that Minecraft players usually can fly and look at the world around them from above. I thought that it would be really cool, if I was able to see around myself and find some safe place or at least my lost village.
So, I stood firmly on the ground and started jumping. At first nothing happened, but then I felt that it was working. When I reached a certain high I could feel my body floating in the air and when I moved my legs I started moving in the direction I was looking at.
This right here was the only bright moment in my day. I flew higher and looked around. I could see far away, where the mountains disappeared in the clouds.
Below me there were trees, mountains, plains, hills, lakes and small islands. I could see also multiple animals wandering around and even a few monsters. But, there was no sign of my village or any other shelter for me.
The night was coming… what was I supposed to do now?
I was desperate, but still had a little hope that I would find my village.
Funny how that works, isn't it? A city boy like me was trying to find a small mountain village inside Minecraft, so that he can hide inside a hut.
I just hoped that life had no more surprised for me, because this one was big enough.
This is how my first week in Minecraft ended…

T
he Second Sunday – How do I find the way out?
After a crazy night and even craziest morning, I decided that I should focus on finding my way out of here. Therefore, no more explorations or wandering about, what I needed was to find a way to get out of the world I created.
This time, however, I would make sure to search methodically and not to lose my way. I was kind of excited, to tell you the truth. Who would not have been in my place?
The fear of never going home again was still there, but now that I had a plan, I felt a lot like Superman. It is true that I had only laser vision, but that was already something, right?
I used my power to mark the rocks and trees, I met on my way, so that if I had to go back or lose my way again, I would know where I was. It was kind of cool and I felt a lot calmer now that I had a plan.
But… Mineomania was a cool world, but it was not mine…
