Stepping up onto a small pile of stone blocks, the virus glared down at the monsters of Minecraft, the hatred coming from inside him so intense he noticed it was making his eyes glow ever so slightly. He could hear cat-like cries from behind him, coming from the cave entrance. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw one of the pale white ghasts hovering near the tunnel entrance, its nine long tentacles writhing like snakes. Its babe-like face peered into the cave, looking for the one that had called it to this spot.
“Yes, my friends, I called you here,” the virus said in a loud voice. “The NPCs in the village below have waged war on the monsters of the Overworld and killed your brothers and sisters.”
The clicking of the spiders accelerated as their anger drove their mandibles faster. Zombies moaned and wailed and the cat-like cries from the ghasts turned angry and full of rage.
“The NPCs will not accept monsters as equals and want Minecraft all to themselves,” he lied, his eyes glowing brighter as his hatred for the villagers blossomed. “They have vowed to destroy you all…down to the very last creature.”
The moaning of the zombies turned to growls as the creepers hissed, so agitated that their ignition process started for an instant before stopping.
“I have given the zombies and skeletons the power to move through the light of day without burning under the sun,” the virus said, his voice dripping with anger. “Now I will give you all the power to win this war.”
Closing his glowing eyes, the virus reached out with his mind and felt for the AI code driving his now hateful existence. As he did this, his hands began to glow a pale sickly yellow. The color slowly crept up his arms. Kneeling, he plunged his hands into the stone he stood on, extending his awareness into the software that ran Minecraft. Gathering all his hatred and need for revenge against the NPCs, the virus injected these feelings into the monsters of the darkness, filling their minds with an unquenchable rage.
The virus smiled as feelings of malevolence filled the minds of the creatures in the rocky passage and all across Minecraft.
Opening his eyes, he saw all the monsters before him take a step back. Holding a hand up in front of his face, he saw that it was bathed in a harsh white light. His eyes were glowing even brighter as his rage grew.
“Soon, we will destroy them all,” the virus said, his voice echoing off the tunnel walls.
Looking across the collection of creatures, the virus smiled, then closed his eyes and reached out for the boundary at the edge of the digital universe he was trapped in, the void. The idea of being confined to a Minecraft server caused his anger to grow even brighter until his eyes were burning like two little suns.
I have to get out of here…I cannot be trapped in this server forever, he thought. If I can’t get out and destroy…then I’ll just have to destroy the server from within.
The ghast howled a cat-like cry that jolted the virus back to the present. As he opened his eyes, a single terrified skeleton stepped forward.
“We will do as you command, but what do we call you?” the monster asked. “What is your name?”
My name…Yes, what is my name? That fool of a blacksmith asked me the same thing. He said that they were named after their task…but what is my task, my real task?
Glancing to the newly-transformed ghast, his evil hero, he realized what he was to do on this server.
“My name…is based on my task,” the virus explained. “I will be the one to create heroes for the creatures of the darkness, heroes to command the legions of monsters against the NPCs and bring the villagers to their knees.”
He paused to glare at the mob, his eyes now completely white, their glow illuminating the deep recesses of the tunnel.
“My name, you ask?” He looked at the ghast, his first evil creation, red eyes painting the rocky walls with a crimson brush. Smiling, the virus turned back and faced the multitudes standing before him.
“My name will be Herobrine!”
Not The End, but The Beginning!
Gameknight999 Minecraft Network
Here is an image from the Gameknight999 Minecraft Network. This is a public Minecraft server made for kids and readers of my books. We don’t tolerate bullying, cussing, stealing, griefing, or anything that hurts the community. As a result, people help each other, just as Crafter or Stitcher or Hunter or Digger or Herder would expect.
This server was setup by our server/plugin/Minecraft ninja, quadbamber. Check out his YouTube channel; it’s called LBEGaming, and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/LBEGaming. He is a wizard with all things Minecraft and this server would not be possible without his hard work!
There is a Survival server, Creative server, KitPvP server, as well as others coming soon. Below is an image from the first spawn we had built for the server. It is a great image, taken by quadbamber. He used some advanced shader packs to get the great sky and water effects as well as the haze in the distance.
The IP address for the Gameknight999 Minecraft server is:
