The Mask

== Survival Starts ==
One day we decided to play minecraft with my friend . My friend wanted to enter 1.16.5. I didn't offend him and set the version to 1.16.5. I didn't like dealing with things like seeds, so I ignored them. I waited for my friend to come. But before he came, I wanted to look around. There was a village. There were 2 Blacksmiths in it. I was really lucky, I think I found the best seed I've ever come across in my life just off the top of my head.
My friend came. I told him there was a village nearby and there were 2 blacksmiths. He was as surprised as I was and said let's go to that village right away. I accompanied him to the village and together we started looting the village. We looted all the chests and anything we thought would be useful. The Black Smiths brought a lot of iron, obsidian, armor, swords, etc. We could easily develop with these, so we decided to build a house somewhere far away. Somewhere where the mines are abundant...
We've been walking for 15 minutes. My friend and I still couldn't find a good place to build a house. There is no good place to build a house in this forest, but suddenly we came to a snowy biome completely covered with ice. But we couldn't build a house here either. But we had to cross this biome and we arrived at the biome. My friend and I decided to leave to increase our chances of finding a good biome. 
We moved as far away from each other as possible and if we find a nice settlement we will let each other know. At the moment there is nowhere to build a nice house, but I keep walking around. I have been walking for 30 minutes and I am still in this snowy biome. Why is this biome so big? 
Just when I was fed up, my friend suddenly said "Hey man! I found something, you have to see this!" I think he found a village or some other structure. I asked him what he found and told him I needed coordinates. My friend said "I found an igloo. When I go downstairs in the igloo, there is a strange item on the counter. I don't know if something like this existed before, but you should see it." and then he gave me the coordinates. If he found a village or a StrongHold, he would probably say he found a Stronghold or a village, but what he found was probably an item. Because he said he found it on a bench in the bunker under the igloo. I was getting really curious, I was running and trying to get to my friend as fast as possible.
== The Mask ==
When I got to my friend, I came across an igloo and after I entered the igloo and opened the trap door, I went downstairs. There was my friend downstairs and there was a strange player mask on the counter. I asked him, "Did you do this?" He said no and that he hadn't touched the item until I arrived. I was weirded out for a moment. The player mask looked scary and it was forbidden to cheat in this game, so my friend and I couldn't get that mask by going into creative mode. My friend said he wanted to buy that mask. I said okay. My friend slowly took that mask. He said the name of the mask was "Ghastly". He wanted to wear it but I said stop, we don't know what will happen if we wear this mask. And I told him that we shouldn't trust so easily because there was never such an item in the game. My friend said that I was right but that it was just a game and the most that could happen was what happened. I thought about it for a while and agreed to let my friend wear the mask. 
My friend suddenly put the mask on his head. When he put the mask on, he was in the head of my friend's character. He said that nothing happened and that it was just a mask. Just when I was about to relax, my friend said "wait a minute". I told him what happened. He said, "I can't get the mask off." He said that even though there was no "Curse of Attachment" on the mask, even though he clicked on the mask, he could not get it off his character. I knew something would happen, but my friend said "I think I'll continue the game with this mask now XD". Since the mask didn't do any harm to him, I didn't wear it much anymore. 
We walked for 30 minutes and finally found a very nice settlement. There were plenty of caves around. My friend wanted to build the house by the sea and I agreed. We started to build a small Survival House with 2 floors. The house was not going to be very big so it took a short time to build it. Next to the house we built a small field and an animal farm and even a Fisherman's hut. We had built a very sweet and beautiful house and we were ready for mining. We weren't planning to go to the Nether until we had built a complete set of diamonds. But when everything was finished with the house it was night time and we decided to go to bed. 
Morning came and we got ready and headed straight to the nearest mine. We searched for diamonds in the cave for at least an hour and managed to find 22 diamonds in total. But it wasn't going to be enough for the two of us, so we were going to go home and rest for a while and then go back to the mine. When we woke up, I looked at my friend and suddenly I got nervous because I noticed a change in the mask that my friend was wearing and couldn't take off. 
A strange liquid of the same color as his eyes was flowing from the black eyes on the mask.
== The Mask : Second Form ==
I said to my friend, "Hey, what happened to your mask?" My friend, I think he didn't know what had happened and he was trying to look at himself with F5. My friend said, "What happened to my mask?" But sure enough, the mask had changed. Before there were only 2 black eyes on the mask, but now there was a strange black liquid coming out of those 2 eyes. We started to get scared and we realized that something was not normal. My friend said, "I still don't feel like we've been harmed. Let's keep our spirits up and go to the mine." He said. We set off to go to the mine, but seeing my friend with that scary mask didn't make me feel comfortable.
We went into the mine, this time we stopped for 30 minutes and found 14 diamonds, but my friend said that I think there was a problem with his keyboard, because he noticed that his character would suddenly look in a different direction or go in a different direction. It's probably a normal keyboard error, but I couldn't think normally after that mask. I told him that it might have something to do with the mask. My friend agreed with me because he was scared. I asked him to continue in the mine for another 15 minutes and he agreed. We managed to find 2 more diamonds and returned home. Since the diamond set was not enough for the two of us, we made it half for now and upgraded tools such as axes and pickaxes to diamonds. We were quite advanced, but no matter how much we improved, we could never understand what this mask was about.
The next day I noticed that the black liquid flowing out of my friend's mask from his eyes had increased so much. We were both curious to see what would happen in the end, but at the same time we were nervous. 
== The Mask : Third Form ==
We decided to search for this mask on the internet, but we didn't find any results. This mask was very mysterious and I think we are the first to come across it. My friend told me that every time the mask changes, he feels like his control over the game slowly disappears and it's as if something else is preventing him from playing his game. It was clear that it was because of that mask. But I didn't even know how to take it off. My friend tried to kill himself, but although all his items were gone, only the mask was not gone from his inventory when he died. We still didn't understand how to get rid of this mask, so we stopped doing things like mining and made it our goal to search for this mask.
As the first people to encounter the mask, we wondered how it could be in minecraft, but we couldn't think of anything. What we thought the most was that every time the face of the mask changed, it took control of the person wearing the mask. We don't know how many times it will change. But my friend thought that if he deleted his account and logged back in from another account, maybe he could get rid of the mask. As much as this made sense to me, I told him not to delete his account for such a reason, maybe we could get rid of the mask for another reason. But I was not that hopeful. We searched for the mask for days and days. While trying to remove the mask one last time, something happened to my friend's character...
My friend suddenly said, "It's moving by itself again, I'm not doing it, and it's taking longer this time. Hey help! This thing is going on."
== The Mask : Fourth Form ==
This time the mask gave my friend's character full control for a longer period of time than before. I was desperate, so I said to the mask, "Hey! Leave my friend alone, I don't know what you want from us, but it's time for you to go! Go now!" I knew it wouldn't work, but my friend's character, the mask, suddenly turned to me. But his face was different than before. It was as if the liquid flowing from his eyes had taken a shape and formed a mouth-like structure, but he looked very scary and I had the feeling that he was going to destroy me, and he was going to.
The mask, in this new frightening form, suddenly started chasing me. Now I was sure, my friend had completely lost control of his character and now a stupid mask was controlling that character and now it was chasing me! I didn't know where to go so I ran to a random place. I ran for a while hoping that my friend would regain control but no, the mask had taken over my friend's account and I guess he doesn't plan to let go. I hid somewhere and texted my friend from another messaging app. He wasn't responding, so I was going to deal with this mask myself. But I think it was obvious that the mask was more powerful than a normal player.
So I tried to fight the Mask and the mask started running at me with scary demeanor and killed me in one hit. That's when I realized there was nothing I could do and my game crashed before the "you're dead" menu popped up. No matter how many times I tried to get back on the server, I couldn't get back in.
