Dread Menace

== First Encounter ==
Early in the morning, I was playing Minecraft. Browsing through the oldies of the game. Feeling nostalgic all over. I had quite an obsession with previous editions, like Beta 1.7.2 and the Alpha versions. But I don't think I'll ever be able to look at those a second time after the events that took place there.
I was roaming around the seven seas in a boat, looking for new places to explore. I came upon an island like no other. There was no such thing as green grass. Everything looked dull and lifeless. Trees were scarce. These weird stone formations filled the land.
At first, I simply thought it was a cool new biome from the days of old. I just didn't happen to notice. So, I snapped into adventurer mode and rowed around the island to investigate. I spotted this peninsula with flickering torches, and I couldn't resist the temptation of moving towards it. But as soon as I set foot on the ground, my boat drifted away by itself. Something fishy was going on there, but I kept going.
In the middle of nowhere, poof, this house made of cobblestone comes into view. It looked really messed up. There weren't even any doors or anything. The whole structure was tiny and barely had enough space for me to stand. There was only one torch illuminating the room.
I was freaked out by then, but curiosity soon overcame fear. At the back side of the house, there was a mine extending into the deepest depths. There were traces of mining, but as far as I knew no one else had ever played in my world. It was strange, but I went down anyway to see what was up there. I shouldn't have done that.
The mine was like a labyrinth, cobblestone bridges stretching over big abysses and many leftover clumps of ores from previous mining activities. I continued to move but then felt this really bad urge to get back to my house stat before things got any worse. So, I got out of the mine and headed home.
When I returned, the crops in my farm were trampled and plucked out. They were all neatly planted when I left, but now the part of my farm where the crops grew was completely trashed. I just thought hungry animals had been messing around with the plants. I tried to forget about it and went back to mining.
But then I noticed that a couple of blocks used in my construction site were missing, even though I hadn't touched them. It didn't make sense, and it scared the heck out of me. I couldn't ignore these unexplainable phenomenons anymore.
My mind flashed to the weird house I saw. The one that I didn't build. I hurried back and saw a figure, placing a button next to a newly placed iron door. The suspense was too much for me to handle. I couldn't believe what was happening. Was someone hacking my game? Was it a glitch? Or maybe one of those crazy alternate dimension stuff? I knew later on that the figure was called 'Dread Menace'.
I slowly backed up, then burst into a print until I felt secure. I didn't know where else to go. My thoughts wandered over to the creepy house and mine. So I decided to take shelter in the mine temporarily. Equipped with a torch, I weaved my way through the twisted tunnels until I reached a weird chamber.
The Dread Menace was there, flickering like crazy. I could hear echoey whispers, like voices of ancient ghouls talking, but I couldn't make out their words, if they were capable of normal human speech. I slowly walked towards Dread Menace. I raised my fist. He whipped around. His teeth were planted in my player's face.
I panicked and ran away, my fingers stiffening, heart skipping a beat. I steered myself into a cliff, then fell down for what seemed like forever before dying. 
If you're searching for it, stop immediately. You're asking for your own death...
