Tartarus

Ghosts, entities and hackers can enter Minecraft and cause strange anomalies in the game. 
But can mythological gods do it. Surely not, right? 
Well, they can, as I learnt the hard way.............
==Introduction ==
Hey guys, I am Tyson, and I have come up here with an extremely strange theory.
So in case you guys don't know, the Nether is basically the Minecraft version of the Underworld. True, Hades, Persephone etc. don't exist in Minecraft. But also, monsters live here. Ghasts that shoot gunpowder projectiles at you, annoying zombie piglins that attempt to attack you, if you hit them by mistake, and of course, greedy piglins, who know nothing except gold. Beds explode, water sizzles, lava everywhere. Nobody would want to build a house here in the first place.
But, did you know, that there is a place, in the Nether, which contains horrors so terrifying, they would make Herobrine, Null, Entity 303, Billy, bobby1545 and the rest of the creepy dudes mentioned on the website seem like a baby cartoon. (no pun intended). A place so horrid, that you would wish you were never born. All this, coming from a hole in the Nether......
Tartarus
Yes guys, you read that right. Its Tartarus, the darkest part of the Greek Underworld. How it managed to wriggle its way into Minecraft, however, is not known. However, Tartarus, arrives for a few unlucky people. And I was one of the unlucky people, which driven by curiosity, saw putrid and horrendous things, and nearly went insane. Thankfully I am sane and mentally healthy and have managed to remember the story.

==Introduction==
It was a dark winter night, and unusually, there was a strong supercell snowstorm that day, and hail pounded on the windows, I could see a large wedge tornado in the distance, and snow fell to form a 3-ft thick layer with embedded hail which lasted throughout the day, thanks to the frigid night. I could not go to play outside due to the severe cold outside, so I basically went inside and hit the Discord icon. It loaded, and I found my favourite server, Minecraft, when suddenly a strange user named Percabeth69420 messaged me. Here is the transcript: 
Percabeth69420: Hey! 
ItzTyson: who the ruddy hell are you? 
Percabeth69420: Hey don't worry, I am not your enemy.... 
I hear you play MC 
I have a gift. I will give you a extremely good minecraft seed, which will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. 
ItzTyson: Should I block yo- 
Percabeth69420: 68 65 66 6C 65 73 68 6F 66 74 61 72 74 61 72 75 73 
ItzTyson: YO, WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT 
Percabeth69420: the holy seed, i must go 
 
And with that he blocked me, without any reason, I tried to add him multiple times, but a error kept showing up, and finally, the next thing I saw, that his account was deleted. 
==The Seed==
Naturally, I was extremely curious to try out this seed, and it seemed genuine enough. So, I hopped on to Tlauncher, loaded Minecraft 1.19, and pasted the seed in the seed bar and hit "create world". What I saw next frankly surprised me, as there were many obvious (but not bad) differences in the world.
Firstly, the graphics were too realistic. I mean, it looked like the seed had a sort of inbuilt shader. The strange thing was that my potato laptop wasn't overheating. Normally, in ordinary worlds, my laptop would lag and overheat, and then crash after a few minutes of running. But, here I was with shaders, and my laptop was running as smooth as butter. 
I passed it off as a update by Mojang/Tlauncher, and went on to cut some trees, when suddenly, somebody appeared in the doorway with a laptop (in real life). I was about to freak the hell out, when I found out it was my friend from next door, Nico. He had a black aviator jacket on him, which explained how he was able to come out in the extreme cold. He happened to catch a glimpse of my screen and said, "whoa, how did you crank up those graphics, I thought your laptop was gonna explode". I then told him, that I was given this seed by a stranger on Discord, when his expression hardened suddenly. He told me that he felt uncomfortable about this world, and something wrong was going on, when he whipped out his laptop and started Minecraft Launcher (he had real MC, unlike me who had cracked version). He told me to open to LAN, and I sure did. He joined my world, and came straight to my MC house and started building his own room. It became night, when I suddenly noticed an extremely strange thing, a blow that left me baffled. 
All the mobs were passive
I first noticed this, when it became dark, and Nico and I were down in the caves, and had found a vein of iron and some coal, we were about to whip out our stone pickaxes and, without warning, a creeper came into our vicinity and, naturally we freaked out, I accidentally bumped into a creeper, and immediately, I noticed that the creeper did not even make the "sssss" sound when it was about to explode. Instead it just passed away, as if we never existed. I whipped out my torch light, and due to the light, I was able to come near the creeper, and it took no notice of us. Nico, meanwhile, swore that he saw a zombie almost passing by him, and despite him being in full sight of the zombie, it took no notice of him and went away. We were immediately alarmed, when I had an idea that made me feel stupid for freaking out. I thought it was just some temporary glitch, and it would be fixed away soon. We however, did not pay much attention to the strange behaviour of the mobs, and went on mining as usual, we got 44 raw iron and 64, 27* coal, after mining some other caves, and went up to the surface and to the house, to smelt the ore, when suddenly Nico's phone rang, and he said "Damn bro, I have to go home, my parents are waiting for me, I will play from home tomorrow. See ya tomorrow." And he immediately left. I closed the laptop, and with a uneasy mind, jumped into the bed and slept. 
*This numbering is used as the maximum no. of items in a stack in 64, in reality, I got 91 coal. 
==Next Day==
I simply woke up and went to school, as the cold had subsided a bit, and Nico came to sit in a nearby desk as usual, when he made a strange comment.
"Have you ever heard a noise in the night"
"No, why?"
"Because yesterday, after going to bed, I heard an otherworldly noise. It sounded like a freight train passing very nearby"
"bruh, must be a dream. Let's talk about it later"
After school, we both went to our houses and started up Minecraft. Today we were supposed to get some diamond, and Nico had managed to add some of our friends to the server. There were about 40 players in the server. Will, Charles, John, Terry were among those who joined. Upon joining, they immediately said, "whoa, how did you get those extreme graphics" without paying attention to the fact that their PCs weren't overheating. I was generous and gave Will some iron. I crafted a Iron pickaxe, a sword, and some armor. I went to the caves and some of the players decided to follow me, when out of nowhere, I found a diamond vein. The strange fact was that the vein was extremely large and looked more like an asteroid embedded in the mine, than a regular vein. I was astonished, and immediately started mining the diamond. However, I soon found out, that the diamond ore was getting broken faster by the pickaxe, than it should have, and despite having mined nearly a dozen stacks of diamond, my iron pickaxe's health was fully green and didn't even break. I was immediately shocked and suddenly to my surprise, I heard a terrifying noise. It sounded like a freight train passing by, along with a lot of screaming. Will's character recoiled in terror, and on the Discord call, could hear him say "what the f*** was that".
I then decided to start mining obsidian, which was when things started to get out of bounds.
I found a lava pool, and asked Nico to give me a water bucket, and soon, I doused the lava out, this was when everything got strange. 
The screen went very dark, and suddenly out of nowhere, I saw two glowing red eyes, as bright as headlamps staring at me. Suddenly, the screen went back to normal, and Charles was freaking out about a ghost. I simply decided that strange things happened in this seed, and it was a good idea to ignore them. I mined the obsidian, and soon, I, Nico, Will, Charles and some random guys went down to a deep mine. Nico and Will had planned to build a deep-earth quarry, which would mine 10,000 blocks a hour, so we needed a ton of redstone for that. I and Charles had however, snuck off to build a nether portal nearby. I was soon finished, and lit the portal. I jumped into the portal, ready to enter the Nether.
==The Nether==
The first strange thing I saw upon entering the Nether, bafflingly, happened when I joined it. 
I saw a giant ancient debris structure sticking out from the ground. I happened to spawn within a basalt biome, filled with basalt spires, which seemed more surreal due to the shader-like effect of the seed. I was immediately joined by Charles and Nico, who had found out what we were up to. He whipped out his pickaxe and started biting away at the Ancient Debris structure, which looked like a giant mushroom sticking out of the ground. When I decided to go explore a bit, I saw something which left me appalled.
All the mobs were passive. Again.
The ghasts didn't even shoot fireball projectiles, nor even did the hoglins try to loot us for gold (which we unfortunately didn't have). Everything in this area seemed to ignore me, as if wary of some malevolent force in the Nether. I tried to dig in a bit to the matter, when the Minecraft theme music changed to.......
Roblox Horror Music.
Yes, that "tung-du-du-dung-dung-dung" sound played. I was immediately struck by this strange change of music, as I was totally certain that Minecraft never uses Roblox music for theme songs. This, however was not all, for I almost got a mental breakdown when I heard Nico say, "What's that vault in front of us?". I turned around, and sure enough, I saw a vault which must have been wide enough to accomodate a Woodland Mansion. Foolishly triggered by curiosity, I decided to call the others and sure enough, they came, and we bolted down that vault. 
The Vault
I went down the vault, and I was surprised at how dark it quickly became, the walls had a purplish tint, as if veins were present in the walls. It took me over a few minutes to get to the bottom of the bit, when at once, two things nearly choked me with shock (which I had got too much)
Firstly, there was a large, gaping pit which was so large that I could not see the size of it, though I was sure it would have encompassed 5 biomes with still room to spare. The walls now looked gory red, as if they were coated with blood with black blocks of unknown material embedded in small groups among the wall. It looked mid-dark.
Secondly, I heard a strange, squelching sound, as if thousands of pieces of slime were swimming about in the pit. Nico, aroused by curiosity, sneaked over to the pit, and what he saw, was so horrifying that it would make Herobrine seem like a baby hero.

I sneaked over and saw bloody lumps of flesh moving about on a dark obsidian surface, it would have been over 200-300 blocks below, but I could see it clearly as if they were next to me. They were oozing blood and spurted the red liquid at the walls of the pit. The shader-like effect of the shader only made it much more realistic, and unfortunately, disgusting to witness. I got a flashback about something I had learned in History lesson earlier that day, which had something to do with giants and gods, but I could not clearly remember.
Nico, however had unpleasantly reminded me about what might have been better not to know.
"Kronos"
I was immediately flabbergasted about the name. I had learned that Kronos, the Titan lord had been cut up into pieces by Zeus in Greek Mythology and his pieces had been thrown into Tartarus. I could not, however, know why would Minecraft introduce such a gory update. I only had some time to ponder upon, when I heard strange words that might have sounded like this.
Agó, o Krónus, sykóthike plírus epó tan Káta.
I, however, managed to understand these words and they were in a language older, than even Ancient Greek 
"I, Kronos, have fully risen from the Nether"
Without warning, I was sucked into the pit, along with my friends. I, landed on one of the Kronos-flesh lumps, which was unpleasant, given the disgusting *squelch* sound I made, and the lumps looked unnaturally realistic. I caught sight of a dark door, made of a unknown material not present in minecraft. And we made a dash for the door, unaware of how many horrors we would face.
== Adventures of Tyson ==
Upon opening the door, I first saw two things.
Firstly, the landscape was made up of red-tinted obsidian, and was filled with mobs, which looked horribly deformed than their counterparts in the Overworld. I managed to see a Iron Golem, which looked like it was made of magma, and a zombie with white eyes and numerous blood gashes on its body. The render distance was extremely far away. There were red-concrete stalactites hanging from the ceiling. I knew this was...... Tartarus.
Secondly, there seemed to be monsters. Not just ordinary block monsters in Minecraft. These mobs looked straight out of a Stephen King fantasy, I happened to see a bloody worm roaming the ground making disgusting noises, and a creepy crawly spider crab roaming about, and tons of other horrors I wouldn't mention here.
I realized I was standing on a platform that must have been a few blocks away from the surface. Foolishly, being lulled into false security by the fact that no mobs would harm me, I jumped, which proved to be the biggest mistake of my life.
All the mobs chased me. 
I had to sprint away at full speed without any obstacles, an deformed creeper nearly got within 5 blocks of me, but I managed to evade them, and I saw something that seemed otherworldly. I was standing on a canyon made of a blue glowing material not found in Minecraft. I saw an endless, inky black void below me. Chaos, I thought. I decided to make a jump for the void, and what I saw, nearly made me jump out of my seat (in real life).
I saw a giant house, more like a mansion, large enough to accomodate 5 woodland mansions. I luckily landed on the porch of the mansion, when another pang of information made me jump out in fright.
The Mansion Of Night, I remembered, it contained things so terrifying, it was better to encounter Herobrine than to enter this Mansion. But since I had no choice, I had to open the door, and what I saw, very nearly made me gasp.
(EXTREMELY GORY AND DISTURBING INFORMATION AHEAD, PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY SCARED)
The floor was splattered with blood and from the obsidian ceiling hung multiple pieces of flesh. I looked down and saw multiple entities. I catched a glimpse of an entity that suspiciously looked like SCP 087-B, white eyes, bloody grin and black skin. I also saw multiple gory creatures, a creeper with a creepy smile and bloody skin, an Iron Golem with fleshy texture on it, as if iron was replaced by flesh in its body, a horribly deformed gory spider and multiple creatures which are too disgusting and gory to describe
Then a dark, looming figure appeared in the mansion. Upon closer look, I saw that it was wearing a blue-glowing helmet, a dark red robe and had red eyes and totally black skin. Then I heard a deep-pitched, metallic voice that clearly said-
I, Kronos, have fully risen from the Nether
It was at this moment that my laptop crashed, and shutted down, I tried opening it up for a few hours, but to no avail. I, tried using the phone, but to my dismay, found that the Wifi was obsolete. It was at this moment that I managed to glimpse a dark figure outside the window. I screamed out loud, and it ran away immediately. 
== The Next Day ==
I went to school and saw that nearly a half of the class was absent. I talked to Will about this, and he said that something strange was going on. Nico had a strange story to say. According to him, when his laptop crashed, he felt a rigid hand shaking him, and hovered in the air for a few seconds and falling to the ground. After school, I went to Charles' house, and saw something unexpected. Charles was hanging from a ceiling fan. I could not find any suicide note about this, so I assumed it was a murder by a unknown person. I was scared, when I saw a dark figure enter the room, and was about 10 feet tall, and he said "You should not be here". I was freaked out and ran out of the room, and out of the house. I bolted for my house, and successfully managed to load up my PC. However, when I started Minecraft, it simply crashed with a error message "666: You should not be here". I talked to my mother and she said that she had heard a scream in the middle of the night (which, happened to be mine). I had to delete Tlauncher, and reinstall it again. However, I saw to my dismay that all the worlds were deleted. I then decided to convert the seed into ASCII. I found out that " 68 65 66 6C 65 73 68 6F 66 74 61 72 74 61 72 75 73" was the hexadecimal of "The flesh of Tartarus". I decided to create a new world and play Minecraft with my remaining classmates. I had to check the seed twice so as to never repeat that terrifying mistake ever again
The End
