The Repeating Game

== EDIT #1: Introduction ==
I enjoy summer break way too much. You know, no school, no paperwork, no homework, and best of all, you can do whatever you want. Go to the pool, go to a roller coaster ride, eat a lot of food, and of course, even chat and play video games without any interruptions. Like I said, summer is awesome, but what's summer without anybody to spend time with? And that's where my friends come in. I have 5 friends, named Lucas, Evan, James, William, and Samantha. We were all gamers, and mainly attended events that we didn't know we were going to win or not. But we did them anyways. My friends have been with me ever since we kids, so we're all childhood friends, and we usually like to hang out. However, since James moved over to his vacation house over the summer, we decided it wouldn't be fair to hang out without him in real life, so, we decided it would be best to play one of our favorite games: Minecraft. The good ol' blocky sandbox game that we used to play since 2013. Samantha texted to James in our group chat on Discord, "Hey James! Wanna play some Minecraft?" I remember us all joining the server we made and getting on a Discord call. The server we had was extremely huge, with statues, mansions, houses, and even villages.
We first started off by going mining off in our mineshaft. Who knows, maybe we could find diamonds. Our goal was to try and make an underground village or something like that. Apparently William (who was into the "fantasy" genre, decided it would be cool) wanted to make it amazing and very unique. We didn't know what to do at first, but hey, that was what we usually get into. We get an assignment we don't know how to do, try doing a few steps of it, and then get the hang of it. We managed to find 10 diamonds, which wasn't so bad. We even mined out some more space for our underground village, which was harder than I expected. Seriously, it's like a giant hole. After that, we got out of the cave, handed each other some food, and ate. I put all the loot we got from mining in my Ender Chest, and then after a long game of Hypixel Bedwars, we decided to call it a day, and we all went to bed.
The next day, I got onto my computer, and I got a notification on Discord. I then saw Samantha type in our group chat, "Hey James! Wanna play some Minecraft?" I didn't think too much of it at first. Sure, she said that yesterday, but she addicted to social media and stuff, and could always type the same thing. Then, James typed back, saying he'd be on. My friends saw this and also agreed to join. I also participated. When we joined, everyone decided to go down to the mineshaft. I thought, "Okay, this isn't serious, just a coincidence. We can do anything in Minecraft, so who says we can't go down the mineshaft we made ourselves?" 
It was normal at first while going down the mineshaft, until, I arrived at the spot where I used to mine yesterday. The spot was patched up, and at that point I was getting concerned. Did someone patch it up when nobody was watching? I mean, it was possible, right? However, once me and my friends went over to where our underground village was supposed to be, the blocks me and my friends mined were all gone. Now, I know what you may be thinking here, "Maybe someone patched it up also when you weren't online," but no. Me and my friends almost stayed up until midnight, and judging by how much space we cleared out, it would take more than one person to at least return everything to where it was, in fact, even if it was one person, they'd at least make it unfinished, because they'd be too tired. I mean, we were playing almost up until midnight, right? I wanted to ask my friends, but decided not too when my friends didn't even pay attention to what was going on. Did they not know? I finally decided to just ask them, it wouldn't hurt to try after all. It was better than nothing anyway.
"Hey, is anyone gonna mention that the space we cleared out yesterday is now patched up again?" I asked.
My friends were confused.
"What do you mean, we never logged onto Minecraft yesterday." James said.
"I'm pretty sure we were all still doing work, I mean, summer did just start." William added.
"Are you feeling okay?" Lucas asked.
"Dude, did you hurt your head or something?" Evan questioned.
"Nevermind." I replied.
Okay, now things were finally starting to creep me out, after I mined out the space for the village, we each gathered 10 diamonds in total. It was the same number of diamonds I got yesterday. "Could you store them in your Ender Chest?" Evan asked. I felt a sense of dread. I slowly walked over to my Ender Chest. At this point, I was praying that my diamonds were still there, and was scared half to death when the diamonds I got yesterday were gone. Did someone steal them? No, that wasn't possible, this was an Ender Chest. If one person tried stealing my stuff, it would just convert to their own stuff that they put in their Ender Chest. I didn't know what to do, so I put the diamonds in the chest, and went outside. The next hours were us doing the exact SAME things as we did. Even when we were playing BEDWARS everything was the same. Every single one of my friends and OTHER players did the exact same tactic, there was no doubt about it. I didn't even feel like playing anymore, and was relieved when we all left the game. I didn't want to sleep, but in the end, I felt my eyes getting heavier, and I drifted to sleep. I'm going to be updating this soon, maybe the next day, but it only matters if something bad happens. I gotta go to school right now.
== EDIT #2 ==
Alright, now things are starting to get more weird. I went into my school, and I eventually met up with my friends. I decided to ask them again on why they were saying things yesterday, and how other players in games did the exact same thing. However, I was shocked to hear William say:
"Dude, none of us were on Minecraft."
I decided to ask them about Discord, and see if they could explain anything about that.
"Um, Im sorry, but I wasn't online at the time." she said.
I was even more frightened when everyone confirmed that they weren't online on Discord, and Minecraft. Was this because of the game? I mean, this all started after a game of Minecraft, right? I don't know, that's just what I'm thinking. I really want to know what's going on. But at that time, I only had the question: If my friends weren't online, who was I talking to in Minecraft and Discord? After school, I got onto my PC. I wanted to do an experiment. I quickly got onto Minecraft. I wanted to see if my "friends" would log on. Fortunately, they did. After we got onto a call, I decided to confront them, but then I noticed something seemed off about the server. Some blocks were distorted. "Hey, why are the blocks glitched out?" Evan asked. "Am I lagging?" Lucas asked. This didn't make sense. Did they break out of the loop? I decided to play along for now, and my fake friends were starting to get creeped out. It was weird, because they acted so.. human. 
I didn't know what was going on anymore, was this just a prank? No. My fake friends joined right when I logged on the server, and my real friends wouldn't know unless I let them see I was playing Minecraft on Discord. I made sure to deactivate my game display, so they HAVE to be fake. "Okay," I said. "Since the game is lagging, let's just play some other time, alright?" 
Everyone agreed, and we hopped off the server. I was left pondering on what to do next. Was the server becoming corrupted? I didn't know at that point. However, I was shocked when my computer started back up again automatically. I quickly rushed over, not knowing if I should turn it off or not. Once my computer was loaded up, it took me to the server me and my friends played on. What the heck was happening? At this point I had had it. I went over to William's house, and I burnt it down. If they wanted to mess with me, they could try. Maybe if my fake friends acted like my real friends they would be concerned. But, none of them joined. Not a single one. After a few minutes, I almost logged off. However, I heard my phone ring.
I picked it up. It was Samantha. 
"Hey! Quick! Come to William's house right now!" she said. I could tell she wasn't calm or anything, but what was I going to say, "yes?" for all I know, this could be the fake friends trying to lure me in. However, I know that my fake friends haven't shown themselves in real life, only in voice calls, and in Minecraft. I was still freaking out at the point though, and said, "Okay, be right there." I didn't know why I did it, but I think I was too scared to say no. Before I knew it, I was getting in my car, and driving up to William's house. He lived pretty close to me, so it only took a few moments to get there. I think I was on the road for 9-10 minutes. I didn't want to show up late, but I was still scared. When I arrived at his house, almost everything seemed.. burnt. I was quickly stopped by a firefighter, who encouraged me to stay put. I saw Evan, Lucas, and Samantha. They were all worried about the house. It turns out the fire didn't leave too much damage, and the house could still be repaired. Then, I saw William. Me and my friends rushed over to him. "Dude! You okay?" I asked. William didn't say much, he just simply nodded. 
The police then came and asked William how the fire started, which he stated he didn't know. After some time, the police discovered what caused the fire. It was set on the outside wall of William's house, with a flint and steel.
The police searched everywhere for the culprit, and asked the neighbors if they saw who did it. The neighbors didn't know, but some people said that the fire just appeared out of nowhere. At that point I didn't know what to think, I was starting to lose it. Then, men in black came towards me. They asked me if I could talk to them privately. I didn't want to say no, so I agreed. They pulled me aside and took me to the back of the house, where there were footprints, possibly of the culprit's. They said that they wanted to examine my shoes with the footprints. I did what they asked, and when my shoe lines matched, I was panicking. Did I do it? Did I want to kill my own friend? But then, something unexpected happened. Instead of arresting me, one of the men in black said, "Huh. Alright, well, we'll just put a search team on your Minecraft game." and then they walked off. I didn't know what happened. After taking William to the hospital to make sure he was okay, we all returned home. I saw the agents leaving my house. I got onto my computer, and logged onto Minecraft. I got onto the server, still curious if the agents got rid of my problems. And they did. The server was back to normal, no glitches, no bugs, no errors. All normal. My friends didn't join, and I was the only one online. 
I didn't know what those people did, all I know is that I'm the only person that knows what just happened. Those agents said that even if I told anyone they wouldn't believe me, and I know they were right. So I'm now resting at home, not knowing what to do. I guess now I'll just sleep, and maybe forget this thing ever happened. Hopefully nobody else experiences this. I just hope this all over.
