Corrupt

This story takes back to a few months ago when I first started playing Minecraft Java edition, Now I had played bedrock a lot when I was younger but I decided to switch it up, But this new experience wasn’t what I thought it was
Note:This story isn’t real but it does tell of how people still encounter their loved ones after death
== How I Encountered that thing ==
In just a few months ago when I first ventured into the world of Java Edition, it was September 21st, and I had just returned to school after a brief break. The evening held an unexpected surprise as my mother handed me a laptop, eager to show me something special. Little did I know, this small gesture would kickstart a nostalgic Nightmare.
After setting up the laptop, I wasted no time in purchasing Minecraft, diving headfirst into the game that had been with my for years. I began to explore, building my first humble abode and delving into the depths of the virtual world in search of resources.
As I gradually familiarized myself with the game mechanics, my creations grew more elaborate. I lost myself in the intricate process of crafting and building, expanding my house and honing my skills.
After a while of playing I began to see some stuff appear in my world, My first encounter was of an odd structure, it seemed so…familiar but I couldn’t remember what it was, it had been that long.I decided to head off and continue the next day
It was a half day which was lucky as I didn’t want to bother spending my whole time in school, when I got home I decided to hop straight back on Minecraft,After booting up my world things looked different, My house was destroyed, well not all of it only a few small wooden blocks remained, Next to it was a chest with more wooden blocks.
>Corrupt has joined the game<
Before I could even begin to investigate, a player named "Corrupt" joined the game. I was puzzled as I hadn't added anyone to my world and questioned how this individual gained access. 
Corrupt? What an odd name, I didn’t have people added at the time and I was confused how he got in my world
>MillionD007:Hey,How are you and how did you find my world?<
Attempting to communicate, I typed out a message, but received no response at first. Ignoring the mysterious player, I attempted to log off, only to find that nothing was working.
>Corrupt:Finish the house to continue<
>MillionD007:Dude, what are you on about, my game is bugged or something<
>Corrupt:Finish the House Aaron<
Suddenly, a message from Corrupt appeared, demanding that I finish building the house to progress. My heart sank as the player addressed me by my real name, Aaron. Panic set in as I wondered how this person knew my identity. Was it a friend playing a trick on me, or something more sinister? Reluctantly, I decided to confront Corrupt, only to receive a stern command to complete the house
>Corrupt:FINISH THE HOUSE<
>MillionD007:No I’m done for today, Goodbye<
Feeling unsettled, I refused to comply and bid farewell to the game for the day.
Its The 23rd now, After my encounter with that player I feel like he forgot about me,I hoped back on after school,After hoping back on my world I was spawned into a long corridor made out of cobblestone, but the block looked old, like the old model of cobblestone, couldn’t turn off the game or even my laptop so I was eventually stuck.
<Corrupt:I have a surprise for you,Keep walking>
With nothing else to do, I found myself walking down the endless corridor. The passage seemed to stretch on for hours, the eerie sounds of the cave echoing around me in a haunting loop. Suddenly, I came face to face with Corrupt himself. He wore the Steve skin, but his hands were coated in blood and his eyes and mouth were hollow and dark. Without warning, he began to chase me through the corridor, his speed surpassing my own.
His relentless pursuit took a toll on me, dealing a significant blow to my health. But in that moment of desperation, a surge of adrenaline propelled me forward. It felt like a race against time, with Corrupt always one step ahead. As I turned a corner, I managed to elude him and reached the end of the corridor.
What awaited me there left me speechless. Before me stood a memory from my past - a younger version of myself, immersed in the Xbox 360 Edition Tutorial world with my friends. Their voices filled the air, their laughter and conversations echoing in the void. The nostalgia brought tears to my eyes, a bittersweet reminder of happier times.
But as the atmosphere shifted, their laughter twisted into screams. Their virtual avatars warped and disintegrated before me, fading into nothingness. The overwhelming wave of emotions left me reeling, unable to comprehend the surreal scene unfolding before me.
And then, Corrupt emerged once more, embodying my childhood character, the Cave Spider in a suit. His featureless face stared back at me, a chilling reminder of the darkness that lurked within. In that moment, the lines between reality and nightmare blurred, leaving me to confront my deepest fears and regrets.
>MillionD007: How did you know this? Why did you do this?<
>Corrupt: I wanted to show you that they were gone.<
>Corrupt: They were killed just after leaving your house that day.<
>Corrupt: You continued to see them every day because of me, Aaron. They never made it home.<
>MillionD007: ...<
>Corrupt: Cathal, Dylan, Ben - they were all just illusions.<
>Corrupt: You were never there for them. They lived so close, yet you never bothered to save them.<
>MillionD007: All this time... they were nothing. I've been talking to nothing for years. My whole life, people have called me crazy, and it's all because of you, you sick freak.<
Before I could respond, Corrupt let out a blood-curling scream, crashing my computer. I rushed downstairs to my neighbor's door, pounding on it until the mother answered.
Aaron: Please, is Dylan here?
Unknown Mother: Aaron, it's been years. Dylan died outside your home. I thought you would remember.
My heart sank. They were really gone. I returned home and spent the rest of the day locked in my room, processing the shocking revelation. 
It has been a full month since the incident, and I have managed to move on from my encounter with that…thing. To pass the time and distract myself, I have been immersing myself in playing Minecraft. I have been revisiting some of my old maps, only to discover that Corrupt had left behind files for my worlds. It's a mystery how he was able to obtain them, especially since my Xbox was no longer in my possession and the files had been erased. This may very well be the last connection I have to him... at least for now.
