Lost Souls

Disclaimer, like all pastas, this is FAKE. None of this is real and can never happen in Minecraft. Any form of paranormal activity on Minecraft is either a player pranking you or a mod. Enjoy.

We're taking a turn here. This one is about a Minecraft playing couple, Leon and Amelia Meyer. Note that these main protagonists are Germans and in some parts of the story, they speak traditional German, if you don't understand it, use Google Translate. Legend has it that a strange ghost named the Soul Thief, who possesses unsuspecting Minecraft players' souls. Leon and Amelia weren't aware of this, but experienced the terror of the Soul Thief, and even recorded it live. I hope you enjoy this new story. And do NOT edit this story except for minor grammar fixes.
== Chapter 1: Origins ==
It was 7:00 in the morning, it was a school day. Amelia got the children up and ready to go. After a quick breakfast and routine, they were at school. Leon was playing Minecraft as usual and was looking for iron, and found a large vein in a cave. Then a zombie appeared out of nowhere and killed him. "Verdammte Scheiße!" Leon yelled as he threw his laptop across the room. "Be careful with that, this is the fourth one I have bought for you." Amelia said. Leon picked up the laptop to find a small crack on it. But it was fine anyways. He decided to take a break and help Amelia outside.
After that was done, Leon and Amelia decided to play Minecraft together, despite the Soul Thief's presence on there. They both joined a world together with Leon's childhood friend Elias Schneider, who only speaks German but also speaks some English and just showed up at their house"Grüße Leon! Es ist lange her, mein Freund!" Elias said right after Leon answered the door. Elias was chopping wood at the start so he can craft a crafting table, and already did. "Ich habe eine Werkbank gebaut. Wir können jetzt basteln!" Elias yelled. They then started crafting simple wood tools and started looking for caves.
Strangely, no caves generated in the world, forcing the trio to build their own mine. "Wo sind die Höhlen?" Leon asked. "Ich weiß es nicht. Sie müssen den falschen Samen gepflückt haben." Amelia replied. So Leon started digging a mineshaft for them to get cobblestone and later iron and maybe even diamonds. Then a strange entity passed Elias, but it was too quick for him to see it. Then strange things were happening. It quickly went dark despite the game starting in broad daylight, and it started to rain. Then something sneaked up behind them and knocked them out.
== Chapter 2: The Mind Game ==
Leon awoke to see his wife tied up, and Elias nowhere in sight. Then a man wearing a black cap and a tattered jacket walked by him, and turned out to be an ordinary civilian but possessed by the Soul Thief. "Welcome to your first test," he said. "You have proven to be a great subject. If you want to see your wife untied and free, you must pass this little game of mine. If you fail, she will be put to death immediately."; but all Leon saw was a hallway with an weapon rack. "Go down there, and take the weapon on the right." the man said. The weapon on the left was a dagger. And then Leon was then prompted by a sign to walk into the room on his left. There, he found Elias but more aggressive now than easy going. "Your job is to kill him without being wounded." the man said. "No I will not, Feigling." Leon shouted. "Your life and her life is on the line. Do it or you will have to watch your wife be put to death." the man insisted.
Left with no other choice, Leon decided to attack Elias. The fight only lasted for 10 minutes before he silted Elias's throat with the provided dagger. Then Leon was released from the delusion, back to where he was before he got knocked out. It turned out that Leon, Amelia, and Elias's computers were online this whole time, but not active. They got back on and continued play. But this didn't end here. The Soul Thief was out for souls, and he is not coming out empty handed.
== Chapter 3: The Encounter ==
Leon and Elias were confused, while Amelia was horrified. They didn't know what had happened to them. Leon wandered the world and found a strange house. The trio didn't build a house yet, so this was strange. "Hey, you might want to check this out." Leon said. Elias and Amelia followed him and they saw the house. "That's not supposed to be there." Elias said.
Then an entity ran past Leon. "What? Something ran past me. Who was that?" Leon said. Amelia and Elias did not run past him, and there was no monsters inside the house. Then Leon's computer crashed, and later the other's. But instead of the usual message, it said "Your soul will be mine..." That was very odd. Usually it explains what happened before the crash. "Uhh... something is going on." Amelia said.
Then the lights went out in the house. The lights in the hallway turned back on, and for a split second they saw a man in a hoodie wearing a hockey mask, but then he disappeared and the hallway lights went out. "Is there some sort of blackout?" Leon said. He looked outside and saw it was broad daylight still and the neighbors had their power on. Then the lights turned back on. Luckily, Leon snapped a picture of the man moments before he disappeared. He needed to talk to a myth hunter. Leon eventually found someone who fitted that category, Lucas Black, who believes in urban legends and is also a gamer. Lucas showed up at his doorstep, and greeted him. Leon led him to the living room, and showed him the picture of the masked man. "Hmm... I don't know. It might be the Soul Thief. Legend says that if you play Minecraft on September 13, the Soul Thief will hunt you down and take your soul." Lucas said. Leon was confused, he had never heard of the Soul Thief. "How do I keep him at bay?" Leon asked.
"There is no way to keep him at bay. You just have to pray that he doesn't find you." Lucas replied as he left. That shocked Leon. Knowing that he would be defenseless against the Soul Thief, Leon decided to take matters to his own hands and researched the Soul Thief. Surprising enough, there were many results. He clicked the first link. It showed Leon who the Soul Thief was, what happened to him, and how to keep him away. "The Soul Thief is a spirit of a man who died on September 13, 1874. Anyone who plays Minecraft on September 13 would be killed within a week." it read. Of course Leon wasn't very worried, as he only wanted to know who the Soul Thief was. It was 11:47 PM, and Leon logged off of his computer and told Amelia and Elias about what he found online. "So this Soul Thief wants to kill us?" Amelia asked. "No, he only wants our souls, he's not going to kill us." Leon replied. They decided to stop playing Minecraft for the rest of the day.
== Chapter 4: New Allies ==
Leon, Amelia and Elias went back onto their world and something was off. Last time they were on, it was daytime, but it was nightfall. "There's got to be some sort of explanation for this." Leon said. "Like what? How could the world go from day to night when its been inactive?" Amelia asked. "I don't know!" Leon yelled. "Scheisse, might want to see this." Elias said. They found a house that wasn't theirs, and it was directly next to the makeshift mineshaft. "I don't remember us building a house here, wait did we?" Leon said. "Nein, this house was never built by us." Elias replied. But they found that it was bigger than they expected. The house looked grand, it had all sorts of rooms, had underground areas, and had almost 7 floors. They eventually found two other players in the house, Titus and Evelyn. "Put your weapons down or I will make you!" Titus yelled. "Stop brother! They can help us!" Evelyn yelled back. The three Germans were confused on what was going on, nor did they know that Evelyn and Titus were in the same world as them. "Umm, how did you two get in our world? It was private only to us." Leon asked. 
"We've been here for 3000 years, searching for the Soul Thief. We believe he may be roaming around somewhere." Titus said. He then showed his new friends around the house, all 42 rooms, including a weapons room filled with all assorted of items that can only be obtained by mods. "What is this icy thing for?" Amelia asked. "That's an Ice Sword, it freezes anything it hits on contact." Evelyn replied. Everyone except Elias was amused. He was little more than suspicious of the two quote on quote 'travelers'. The more he looked around the more suspicious he got. How did the house get here? Who built it? How did these two people get here? Nobody knew, but Titus and Evelyn did say they have been in the world, or presumably, seed for 3000 years it seems. 
== Chapter 5: The Meetup ==
Elias got to the point where he could not trust Titus or Evelyn unless he met the two in person. He decided to arrange a meeting between the two along with Leon since he agreed to meet the two. Though little did Elias know, finding this duo would be quite the challenge. "Might be harder than thought." Elias said, "We will find them Elias, we just need to search deep down there." Leon assured. And it turns out that the search only took about 45 minutes, and they finally found the people they were looking for. The two travelers, Evelyn Brown and Titus II, sorceress and knight who were banished into the world of Minecraft by a time traveling teenager under the name Jimmy, so the only way to meet them in person is a little bit of hacking. Luckily, Leon was a former military hacker, and he still uses his skills to ensure combat advantage. "Alright Elias, I'm going to get Titus and Evelyn out of the game, just give me some time." Leon said. Elias then waited until he was done. But then the lights went out again, and Elias heard a knock on the door. 
"Amelia, get door!" Elias yelled. Amelia got a flashlight and walked towards the door, only for it to open itself, revealing some sort of wooden barrel with a written message on it. "Elias is this some sort of joke?" Amelia asked. Elias came to the door and saw the barrel. "Let's open, might find interesting something." Elias said. The two took the barrel inside, and opened it. "Hello!" Titus yelled as he emerges from the barrel. Amelia screamed and ran off while Elias greeted him. "Tight space, but I can get used to it." Evelyn said as she emerged from the barrel. Was this of Leon's doing? Nobody knew, but Leon was still working on the hacking, so it couldn't of been him anyways. Wearing nothing but tattered clothing, Titus and Evelyn decided to take a look around Leon's house. "Very modern, back at home we had to use a furnace." Titus said, commenting on the modern oven. "Yes, oven is very modern." Elias replied. 
"Alright! I'm done with the hacking, they should be-" Leon was going to say but stopped once he saw Titus and Evelyn, in the flesh, inside his home. "Hello there! You must be Leon." Titus said. Leon was shocked to find out that they actually managed to get out on their own. "Anyways, follow to living room." Elias said. He led Leon and the duo into the living room, where they sat down and talked about the Soul Thief. Then the lights went back on and Leon disappeared. "Where did he go?" Amelia asked. "I don't know. Things like this don't normally happen." Evelyn told Amelia. Another mind game was starting, and Leon wouldn't escape so easily this time.
== Chapter 6: The Thief ==
Leon awoke in a completely different place unlike last time. Instead of waking up in some sort of strange hallway, he was in some sort of mental hospital. But Amelia and Elias weren't there, it was just Leon in this mind game. "Where am I now?" Leon yelled. Then a strange figure walked into his room, it was the same possessed civilian, but he was wearing a lab coat and white trousers. "You will meet the Soul Thief himself today. Behave yourself or you will be put to death." the man said, while slowing pulling out a bowie knife. The man got Leon on his feet and walked him into some sort of office, where the Soul Thief was waiting. "You must be Leon Meyer." the Soul Thief said to Leon. "Yes? How did you know my name?" Leon asked. "I know everything about you Leon, everything." the Soul Thief replied. 
Then Leon was led into another room, which looked like an interrogation room. He was forced into a chair and had his arms and legs strapped to it. "Why are you after the Soul Thief?" an unknown man asked Leon. "I am not after the Soul Thief. I don't know who he is." Leon said. "You know who the Soul Thief is, you met him a few minutes ago." the man told him. "I didn't meet him, it was just in my mind. I am not really here right now," Leon said, "I know this is a mind game! You are tricking me into doing something insane!" Leon was then met with a pistol whip in the head and was knocked unconscious again. Leon woke up again in a wheelchair in the infirmary. The Soul Thief was standing before him, along with two other men, who both had holstered pistols on their hip. 
"What should we do with him?" One of the men asked, "Brainwash him, force him onto our side, he will become our finest agent of darkness." the Soul Thief replied while patting the man's shoulder. Leon was shocked. He was captured by the Soul Thief, and now he was going to be brainwashed by him. The man wheeled Leon into another room, while the other man stayed by the Soul Thief's side. Leon was then moved from the wheelchair to a bed, and he was strapped onto it like with the chair in the interrogation room. Leon was then injected with various drugs, including a mind control drug. "You will give in to the glory of the Soul Thief." the man whispered to Leon. "Never." Leon said. 
The man waited for 5 minutes to find that the drugs he injected into Leon didn't work. "Arrgh! Why isn't it working!" The man yelled while kicking Leon's bed. "Because it'll never work." Leon said. "You done with this whole brainwashing act?" he asked. Instead of bothering to answer Leon's question, the man injected more drugs into Leon as a last resort. "You, will, TURN!" the man yelled. "What is taking so long? Are you done brainwashing him or not?" the Soul Thief said in an angered tone. "I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure if these drugs are working on him." the man told the Soul Thief. "Then you are useless!" the Soul Thief yelled. He then proceeded to slit the man's throat with a knife. "You, get his body out of here." the Soul Thief told the second man. The second man took the first man's body and took it into the underground morgue. "When will you learn? You can't brainwash me into working for you mister." Leon said in a mocking manner. Angered, he shot Leon in the head with a revolver. "My servants, find the other man, Elias." the Soul Thief said over a radio. 
== Chapter 7: The Corruption ==
The Soul Thief then decided to crash Leon's Minecraft world to kill anyone left in it, while his servants proceeded to look for Elias. Back in the real world, Amelia and Elias were looking for Leon, but couldn't find him anywhere in town. "I have upsetting news, Leon died." Evelyn told the two once they came back from their search. "Dead? How?" Elias asked. "He was killed in his daymare." Evelyn replied. Amelia broke down in tears, grieving the loss of his husband. But since his body was never found, there was no proof that Leon actually died. "Amelia, you two, we get back to world." Elias said while leading Titus and Evelyn into the so called 'computer lab' in the house. "So this is where it all happened?" Titus asked, "Yes, this is where all the strange things happened." Amelia said while trying to hold back tears. "Cheer up, we don't know if Leon is really dead yet." Evelyn told Amelia. Elias and Amelia logged onto Minecraft and entered their world, while Titus and Evelyn uploaded their conscious into the game to join them. "Well, if it isn't Elias. I am glad I found you." the Soul Thief said. "Back off! Elias is not coming with you!" Titus yelled while drawing his sword. "Oh, threatening." the Soul Thief said in a mocking manner. Little did the Soul Thief know, Elias secretly was recording the encounter.
"Where is our house?" Evelyn asked. "Destroyed." the Soul Thief answered. The entire house was indeed destroyed, no trace of it anywhere. But the mineshaft was still there, although it was covered with mycelium blocks. "What did you do?? Why did you do it?" Titus yelled. "If you give me Elias, I will leave you be, but if you don't, I will remain here." the Soul Thief said. Realizing the situation, Elias decided to leave the game in the midst of this confrontation."You can't escape from me Elias, my servants are still after you, and they will find you and bring you to me." the Soul Thief told Elias in a threatening tone. "You two! Get back to real world!" Elias told the two. Confused, Titus and Evelyn decided to reestablish their conscious in the real world, leaving Amelia to deal with the Soul Thief. "She will defeat Soul Thief, no worry." Elias said. "You sure about that Elias? Amelia might not be strong enough to take him down." Titus asked. Ignoring Titus's concerns, Elias walked Titus and Evelyn into the living room again. "This is TV," Elias told the two, "TV is entertainment."
When Elias turned on the TV, the lights went out, and then they heard a loud scream. Titus rushed back into the computer lab and finds Amelia missing. "Elias, Evelyn, something is wrong." Titus said. "What is it?" Evelyn asked. "Amelia is gone." Titus told Evelyn. Evelyn and Elias walked into the computer lab to find Amelia gone without a trace. "It must've been the Soul Thief, that no good evil doer took her." Evelyn said. "That no good! We must find!" Elias yelled. "No Elias we can't just go in there and look for Amelia, she's already gone." Titus told Elias while trying to calm him down. While there was no explanation of exactly where Amelia went, and there still was no explanation about Leon's supposed 'death', the three are still searching for answers.
== Epilogue ==
Elias, Titus and Evelyn are still on the hunt for the Soul Thief, who is waiting for the right time to strike, while the three are also searching for an explanation for Leon and Amelia's disappearance. Their whereabouts are unknown, but Elias and the duo Titus and Evelyn are searching for answers. The servants failed to find Elias, and in turn the Soul Thief hangs them all as punishment for their failure. Elias uploaded the recording of the confrontation to YouTube, convincing viewers that the Soul Thief has been found, and they were after him. The video managed to rack up at least 350,000 views from all over the world, and many joined Elias in the fight to bring down the Soul Thief with Titus and Evelyn.
