Withering Heights: Steve’s Stories

===Day One===
Steve was born. He woke up in a field next to a forest, and woke up knowing many things. He knew his name was Steve, and knew that he needed to survive. To make tools, build a house, kill animals for their meat. He knew he needed to do that before nightfall, because night was dangerous. He knew why: Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers. So he started preparing. He used some wood he found to make a workbench, a crafting table, so he could craft his basic wooden tools. He made an axe, a sword, a pickaxe. Steve then went and tried to chase down a cow, knowing he needed the meat. He killed it, and got some leather and meat. Not bad. He chopped down trees with his axe, and had constructed a little wooden shack by sunrise. He turned a piece of stone he had found into a little furnace, and cooked his food. He lit his house with a torch, so he could see and make a stone sword. 
Steve decided he wanted to know what was out there, what he was up against. He opened his door, and saw one immediately. A giant spider tried to jump on top of him, and he slashed at it, getting it off. Two zombies groaned, and a skeleton aimed its bow at him. With a price, he learned that creepers explode, and how to deal with different monsters. However, Steve was not ready to deal with all of those on his first day in the world. He went back into his box of a house, and ate the steak he had cooked, feeling better. Steve had had his first day, and he thought it was successful. He had learned a lot about this world, but there would be a lot more to come.
===Day Two===
When the sun rose, Steve was not surprised to see the zombies and skeletons start to burn. Soon they collapsed in piles of bones and rotten flesh, and he could go outside. The spiders became neutral, and the creepers went off to mind their own business as long as he didn't get too close. 
Steve knew that it would not be good for him if he kept surviving by chasing down the lone animals and waiting out the night in his box, so on his second day, he decided he would do something to fix that. He looked around, and eventually found what he wanted: Wheat seeds. He used a hoe to plant them next to a lake, and waited for them to grow. Meanwhile, Steve cut down more trees and used them to make some fences, which he used to make a little pen that he would later use to keep animals. He also learned that his tools would break very quickly, and he soon should get an upgrade. In this strange and still mysterious world, wheat grew quickly, so around sunset, he harvested it, replanted it, and started looking for some animals. He lured a cow into its pen, and next a sheep. Steve used some other seeds he had found to also get some chickens, and by nightfall, he had a small animal farm, and was satisfied. And this night, he wouldn't sit in his house. There was a cave opening nearby, and he would go explore it to see what kinds of resources he could get. He used his charcoal torches to light it as he went, and stopped to make more out of the coal he had found when he ran out. Steve mined some pieces of iron ore with his stone pickaxe. Then, he ran back to his house, and used his furnace to smelt the ore pieces into ingots. And this night, he wouldn't just be waiting it out or sleeping uncomfortably on the floor. He used his wool to make a bed, and for the first time in his life, lay down to sleep.

===Ironstand===
Steve found a village. This time, it was in the desert. This desert village was a large, thriving one, with rows of golden wheat, a strong iron golem, and many professions of villagers. He was excited, because he had a new chance, a chance to help this village, not help it get destroyed and pillaged. The last time he had found a village, it had been lost to a raid, and he couldn't save its inhabitants. This was a new start, and he started by communing with the villagers, getting to know them. They had heard of him, and Steve knew that villagers, Illagers, and many others saw him as a legendary warrior, a person that had single-handedly stopped raids and slain dragons. That was not actually true, and Steve told them that. He was not that good at stopping pillagers, and had never slain the Ender Dragon. He learned from the villagers, and they thrived under his care. Steve put up a wall along the village, and set up nether portals and minecart roads. He gave the villagers Redstone, and helped them build larger, better, more modern houses. Steve made minecart elevators and secret mines, and even got better at stopping raids and pillager patrols. And last of all, he gave this village a name: Ironstand. Steve learned a lot from the village and villagers, but he would learn even more many years later, when one of those villagers rose up to save the world.
