== Introduction ==
Hi, my name is Sam. This is the story on how I encountered aliens in Minecraft.
== Chapter 1 ==
I am 12 years old, and I live with my brothers and my mom. My dad had to move out of the house for work, leaving my mom to take care of us. It was 2 months ago, when 1.20 was first released. I got onto my PC to start a new 1.20 world, and gathered my resources to start a base. I played for 7 hours, and I was about to make the finishing touches to my rooftop, until I saw something unusual. It looked like a UFO! I thought it was just a Phantom, so I continued making the finishing touches. 
UNTIL.... I heard an explosion in the game, followed by a blood-curdling, otherworldly noise. My heart raced as I noticed a beacon beam pointing out in the night sky, illuminating the darkness in an eerie glow. A sense of dread crept over me, but curiosity pushed me forward. I gathered my gear and went to investigate it. As I was walking through the dense forest, shadows seemed to dance around me, whispering hauntingly.
In the distance, I noticed something standing on a tree for a few frames, just long enough to see a ghastly face staring back at me. But as quickly as it appeared, it vanished into the darkness. My heart pounded in my chest, and a cold sweat trickled down my back. 
Finally, I reached the crash site, where I saw a sign. It said "AOLF OHCL HYYPCLK". My mind raced with fear and confusion, as I realized that it was not just a simple message but something far more sinister. I didn't know how to decipher it, and the enigmatic message remained unsolved, haunting my thoughts.
Suddenly my screen started flashing to static, blinding me for a moment. Panic surged through me as I found myself unable to move in the game. Strange alien symbols flickered across the screen, and an overwhelming sense of dread enveloped me. I heard more alien noises, guttural and alien, as I started seeing a floating Flatwoods Monster wannabe flying towards me, its hollow eyes staring into my soul. Fear paralyzed me as it got closer and closer, its eerie glow casting an unnatural light around it.
The air grew thick with tension, and I could feel the malevolence emanating from this entity. My in-game character couldn't escape, and I helplessly watched as the horrifying creature closed in. My mind screamed for escape, but my body remained frozen. Then, with a sudden burst of static and a bone-chilling screech, my game crashed.
The room around me seemed to darken as if the in-game terror had leaked into reality. Goosebumps covered my skin, and I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. It was pretty late, but I couldn't sleep. Fear lingered, and I couldn't shake the chilling encounter I had just experienced.
Since that night, strange occurrences started happening around the house. Unexplained noises echoed through the halls, and sometimes I caught fleeting glimpses of that pale, otherworldly face outside my window. I tried to convince myself it was just my imagination, but the sinister presence was unmistakable.
Now, whenever I dare to play Minecraft, I can't shake the feeling that something lurks in the shadows of the game world, waiting to break free and haunt me forever. I'm trapped in a bone-chilling nightmare, and I fear that it won't end until I uncover the meaning behind that cryptic message and confront the malevolent force that entered my world that fateful night.
So, beware, fellow Minecraft players, for there are things beyond our understanding, lurking in the dark corners of the game, waiting to claim their next victim. May you never stumble upon the unknown horrors that await those who dare to delve too deep into the secrets of Minecraft's twisted reality.
== Chapter 2 ==
The next morning, I went to get breakfast and hesitantly shared my chilling encounter from the previous night with my brothers and mom. Their expressions turned grim, but they dismissed it as a mere bedtime story gone awry. Despite their attempts to reassure me, I couldn't shake the lingering fear that the horrors of the game had somehow followed me into reality.
After finishing breakfast, I couldn't resist the pull of curiosity, and I logged back into Minecraft to see if I could find any clues. To my surprise, I was back in my base, but something felt off—wrong even. As I stepped outside, the once bright sun turned into a sinister red hue, bathing the world in an eerie glow.
Static filled the screen once again, and cryptic text materialized in front of me. My heart raced as I tried to make sense of the Caesar ciphers. Panic started to set in; it felt like the game was trying to communicate with me, but its intentions were far from benign.

The message was an ominous warning, but I couldn't understand what it meant. The game returned to normal, leaving me unsettled and unsure of what to do next.
Determined to distract myself from the unsettling events, I decided to mine for diamonds. Ahead of me was a dark, foreboding cave. I entered cautiously, and as my torch illuminated the darkness, I caught a glimpse of white eyes staring back at me from the depths. My blood ran cold, but before I could react, a disturbing image flashed on my screen. When my vision cleared, I found a trail of torches laid out before me, leading to a mysterious tower that definitely wasn't of my doing.
The sun had vanished, replaced by an ominous night sky. I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched as I approached the enigmatic structure. My heart pounded with trepidation as I pushed open the creaky door. In that brief moment, a hooded Flatwoods Monster wannabe appeared at the door, its empty eyes drilling into my soul, before vanishing into thin air.
Ignoring the unsettling encounter, I ascended a ladder to the roof, hoping to find answers. But as I reached the top, my screen glitched, distorting reality around me. My mind swirled with confusion and fear as I struggled to make sense of what was happening.
Without warning, the game crashed again. I rebooted my computer in a state of unease, only to find myself standing in front of my base once more. This time, I was utterly paralyzed, unable to control my character's movements. My eyes widened in horror as a familiar beacon beam pierced through the sky, targeting my beloved base.
In an instant, my entire creation was obliterated, leaving nothing but scorched earth and despair. The figure of the Flatwoods Monster like creature appeared on the ruins, and chilling words appeared in the chat.

As the figure started advancing towards me with an unnatural, glitchy motion, my heart pounded in my chest. I was trapped, helpless, and the terror was all too real. It moved closer, its menacing intent clear, and when its ghostly form made contact with my player, my screen went pitch black, and Minecraft's window abruptly closed.
I was left staring at my blank computer screen, trembling with fear and uncertainty. The game world's terrors had broken the boundaries between virtual and reality, and now I was left wondering if the sinister presence had found a way to cross over permanently. The bone-chilling nightmares of Minecraft had become my waking reality, and I feared that I might never escape their haunting grasp.
== Chapter 3 ==
I am trapped. I don't know how I got here. I remember entering the atmosphere of the third planet in this solar system, which is said to inhabit intelligent life. Next thing I know, I'm here, lying amongst the debris of my shuttle. In a barren, desolate, blocky landscape, with no signs of life anywhere. Something's wrong here. I feel it. There is an eerie, haunting presence in this world. It's corrupting me. I get up. It's nighttime. I leave some signs around, hoping some of the native life will find them. I hear footsteps. I turn around, but see nothing but the desolation and the vast darkness. The eerie feeling is growing stronger. My limbs feel not... mine anymore. I'm slowly going insane because of this planet, I'm sure! I never should've applied for the mission. There it is again! The footsteps! I want to turn around, but my body doesn't obey me. I feel sleepy. As a robot, I'm sitting down, leaning against debris. I hear the footsteps again, but I'm too tired to be curious. I close my eyes and just before everything goes black, I see a face, with a haunting grin. I realize it. That face is taking control of my body and is eradicating my mind. I try to fight back, but to no avail. I'm drifting away into nothingness. So this is... what dying feels like.
