The Smile

===== Random note =====
This creepypasta was made to finish my previously deleted page that I had forgotten :/...
== Info ==
The Smile, or known by other players as "Smiley". Is an entity with an all black skin, with small white eyes, and and a big smile. Smiley will stalk you for a while and mostly stay hidden, but will still be noticeable, and taunts you multiple times before attacking, Smiley can teleport, chat, laugh in game, and even manipulate programs and your device. He currently has no known weaknesses but maybe in another encounter we might discover a weakness. He cannot communicate properly and often misspells words he says. Going too near to Smiley will result in him teleporting away, and reappearing after a few minutes. It is unknown what Smiley's origin story is, but we hope to discover it in the future. 
== First Encounter ==
It all started when I came across an old version of Minecraft on the internet. I wanted to play game as it was back in its early days because minecraft didn't really feel like the classic minecraft anymore, I thought the new mobs were too detailed and stuff. So I downloaded minecraft 1.12 for free from a kinda sketchy website and loaded up a new world in singleplayer mode.
At first, everything was normal. I spawned in some grassy hills, then I mined for stone tools, built my first base, and started to explore the world. Everything was doing great! I even found a village nearby. But 1 hour into my playthrough I see this message in the chat, "𝕀𝕧𝕖 𝕘𝕠𝕥 𝕞𝕪 𝕖𝕪𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦." I was a bit creeped out when I saw this, but since it was from the internet, I thought it was just some mod installed and the people who uploaded this version trolling me. Since it was 10 pm, I decided I would sleep and find and delete the mod tomorrow. 
The next day I opened minecraft only to see this message on the title screen, "𝕄𝕪 𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕤𝕡 𝕠𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕚𝕤 𝕒𝕓𝕤𝕠𝕝𝕦𝕥𝕖, 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣." I thought it was just the mod and since I was too lazy to delete it, I opened my world and continued playing. While I was walking to the cave I mined in before the screen started randomly changing color, I went farther, and it stopped. It was annoying so I went to another cave, mined some coal, and went deeper. Then I saw some strange symbols appearing in the chat and those eerie cave sounds in the wind. Nothing creeps me out more than those freaking cave sounds so I ran out of the cave. 
I tried to ignore these strange stuff and I went back to my base, but then I encountered Smile. It looked like a black figure with white eyes and a red smile, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to go near, but it just disappeared. After all that, I still thought it was a mod. Now really annoyed and creeped out, I closed the game, and went to the files. But I didn't find any mods, instead I saw a text document reading "𝕃𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕤 𝕓𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕒𝕥ℍ 𝕞𝕪 𝕤𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕖, 𝕚 𝕒𝕞 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥ℍ𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕒𝕣 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕪𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕕𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟 𝕥ℍ𝕒𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣 𝕥ℍ𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕖𝕖ℕ." I couldn't believe this was real and I thought the version was cursed, was this a demon or something? why me? I legit didn't know anything. 
I was thinking of deleting minecraft but I was curious to what would happen if I played again. So I opened it again, and I spawned inside my house, and I went to the village nearby, but something was off. The villagers disappeared, I went farther and I saw a rose and and iron ingot on the ground, the same thing you get when you kill an iron golem. Then I noticed at the corner of my eye, inside a nearby cave, I saw the entity again. I tried to run away, but no matter how far I traveled, it always seemed to be there, watching me. I started to see it more and more often, and it was always either the corner of my eye, or just out of sight. I would hear it laughing softly in the distance, and sometimes it would leave cryptic messages in the chat for me to find. I began to refer to it as "smiley" because I didn't know what else to call it. 
As time went by, I became more and more paranoid. I would hear its laughter even in my sleep, and I was sure it was watching my every move. I tried to change my render distance to avoid encountering it, but it seemed to always be one step ahead of me. So I decided to go to the glitchy gave, while I was inside the cave the screen color kept on changing randomly, but then it stopped, and I heard a soft giggling coming from behind me. I turned around to see the Smile standing there, its red smile and rotting teeth shining brightly in the darkness. I was frozen with fear, my keyboard wasn't working, and I couldn't move. I watched as it slowly approached me. Then, everything went black. I woke up, in my bed, but the game was still running on my pc. I frantically checked the chat, but there was only one message: "𝔻𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕥 𝕞𝕪 𝕤𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕖.", and the game crashed. My wallpaper has changed to a dark background with text in the middle saying "𝕋ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕚𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕥ℍ𝔸 𝔼𝕟𝔻". 
From that day on, I never played Minecraft again. I gave the entity a name, The Smile, and I never spoke of it again. But I know that it's still out there, waiting for its next victim. His laughter, echoing in my very mind.
