Ignus Fatuus

== Chapter 1: Create New World ==
A few years ago, back in middle school I met one of my best friends. As I want to keep his identity anonymous, I will just call him John.  So, John was really into computers and game design. We first met because he wanted to talk to me about computers. He had a lot of knowledge about them and how they work. He also loved programming. He had multiple programming tutorials that he would watch and follow. Sometimes he would ask me if I could do his homework for him as he wanted to practice programming. There was another thing about John. He was very anti-social and a little creepy. I once caught him electrocuting crickets and ripping their legs off. But since we were still teenagers, I just thought it was just teenage cruelty. Some of my other friends started to hang out with me less because of John but I thought it was just because they were jealous because I was friends with somebody so intelligent and skilled.
We stayed friends for a long time. Eventually I moved away and lost contact with him. I still followed him on his social media accounts and followed him. By high school he had build his own computer. He even made a few games for it.
Eventually I stopped talking to him on social media as well and we both forgot about each other. I went through high school then collage and finally university where I graduated. I got a job and a house. By this point it was a year after graduating. John suddenly contacted me and wanted to talk to me. He talked to me about all the great developments he had made. He had graduated a few months before me, and he had joined some tech company. He had been working on developing on creating an extremely advanced computer. He had been saving money for this project for a few now years. He spent all the money he had saved on this project. He started working on this computer way before he even graduated.
He described in great detail about how long it took for everything to work. He said he also started to study physiology and had another student who was extremely well known for their deep knowing in human psychology. Apparently, they had been working together for a long time on this computer.
John told me how he had implemented some special sounds waves into the computer which would hit a specific frequency that would affect the human brain in such a way that it would seem like they were inside the screen. I had no idea what this meant, and it sounded like ramblings of a man but since this was John, we are talking about I believed his every word.
He told me where he was, and I could come and test out his new computer. I agreed. He sent me his location. He was living in the same town as me. I thought he had stayed in my old town, but I guessed he had moved. And coincidentally moved into the same town as me. I agreed to meet with him within a week because by this it would be summer break. He said it was fine. I tried talking to him about his current life a little more, but he mostly stayed quiet and didn’t want to talk to me that much. He also informed me that other people would be arriving as well so I should probably expect a few more dozen people.
And of course, a week later I got into a bus and went to where he wanted me to go. After a few hours I arrived at what looked like an old office. I called him on my phone and asked him if I was in the right place. Suddenly I saw him peeking out the window and waving at me. I waved back and walked into the office. The place was completely empty. I could hear my footsteps echo across the marble floor. Large areas of the office were completely black. I went upstairs and walked down a long hallway looking for John. I heard him call out to me and I walked in that direction.
I walked into a large room and there standing Infront of a window was John. We shook hands and greeted each other. As we were talking about our lives a short man walked out of a room wearing weird looking headphones. I started to suddenly feel a bit dizzy. When the short man realized I was there he quickly hut the door behind him. I stopped feeling dizzy. John explained that the short man was the phycologist he had been working with. From now on I will call the phycologist Jerry as I want to keep his identity anonymous as well. Jerry looked a little bit nervous. There was something odd about him. John started giving off a weird vibe too. There was something really wrong about this two. It made me a little bit uneasy.
Eventually John also took out a pair of those weird looking headphones that Jerry was also wearing. They both suddenly got these really weird looks on their faces. They started to look really evil. John looked at me and asked if I wanted to see his amazing computer already. I wanted to run but I agreed. Then put on those headphones covering their ears. I asked them why they were putting these on, but they completely ignored me. Jerry opened to door to the room he had previously been in. As the door opened, I felt dizzy again.
As I looked into the room I was hit with a wave of pain. I almost ended up falling over. The room was filled with a strange green light and an awful noise buzzed through the air. My vision started getting blurry and I noticed a bunch of other people were in the room as well. They were sitting on chairs unmoving and stoned face. Wires were attached to their heads, and they were complete unreactive. A few were laying on the ground bleeding from their mouths. I fell to the ground and tried covering my ears, but John and Jerry grabbed me and started dragging me across the ground towards an empty chair. I tried resisting but I was too weak. My eyes felt like they were shaking, and they were tearing up blurring my vision. The last thing I remember seeing was John and Jerry putting me on the chair and attaching strange wires to my head. Then the world around me started flashing colors I could no longer hear, smell, or touch. Then everything around he faded into blackness.
== Chapter 2: Overworld ==
I felt a strange feeling. I saw suddenly standing up. I looked around. I was in a forest, but something was very wrong. Everything was block and weird. I soon noticed that my body was stiff, and I was blocky as well. I thick fog surrounded me at a distance. I realized I could not blink and that was not breathing. When I moved forwards my legs moved like stiff twigs. I could only crouch and when I tried moving my arms, I just did the same repeating motion of punching the air. I was a completely different person. I was wearing a blue shirt and dark blue pants. My skin was now a slightly different shade. And of course, I was pixelated just like the rest of the world.
I finally had an idea on what the hell happened to me. A few years ago, I played this game called Minecraft. It really popular and I remember checking on it and it still being very popular. The place I was in looked exactly like something you would see in Minecraft. Either I was dreaming I was in Minecraft, I was dead and for some reason the afterlife was Minecraft-themed, or that somehow, I was transported into Minecraft. This was very strange. I tried pinching myself awake but I just ended up punching nearby grass causing it to just break into small particles. In front of me was now a bunch of floating green pixels. Then suddenly floated towards me.
Infront of my eyes was a set of nine slots, a few pixel hearts, and a few pixel meat things. They were kind of like eye floaters following everywhere I looked it was a strange feeling. With my though I could somehow control which slot I was selecting. It was a strange feeling hard to describe. I selected the slot with the strange green pixels and text showed up that said “seeds”. I remembered playing Minecraft all these years ago, so I had some idea what was happening. I started walking forward.
I looked around the strange world I found myself in. I looked up at the sky and could see the sun right above me. It was a square and was moving abnormally fast. I remembered that in Minecraft monsters and other nasty stuff would come out at night.
I started walking faster and noticed that he meat things above the slots started turning into black spots. I started feeling hunger. I tried moving a little slower and the meat things stopped diapering. I assumed that must have been the hunger bar and the heart things next to the hunger bar was my lives.
I kept walking forward until I stumbled upon a strange creature. It was blocky just like the rest of the world I was in. It made a moo sound. It was a cow. It was just walking around. I come up to it and observed it. It looked back at me and then walked away. I tried interacting with it but ended up punching it by accident. I could feel the force of the punch of my fists. The cow turned all red for a few seconds and made a loud scared moo before quickly running away.
When it stopped running away, I tried interacting with it again, but I just ended up punching it by accident for a second time causing it to run away from me. I gave up and continued walking. Eventually I left the forest and came across a swamp. There was water here I tried bending over to touch it but ended up falling into it. I got quickly out of the water, and I was instantly dry. This place was very strange.
I navigated around the swamp. I had no problem swimming across the brownish water as the moment I would get on land I would be instantly dry. I kept walking and walking. By this point the sun was setting and I knew I was probably screwed. By food bar was halfway down and I was feeling really hungry. I still had no idea if any of this was real.
I left the swamp biome and entered a large open field. The sun was almost completely set behind the horizon and the moon started to rise. I then saw what looked like a bunch of houses in the distance. I remembered playing Minecraft and coming across something similar. From what I had remembered those were villages. From this distance I could see some houses were destroyed and there was a large castle like structure that was attached to a side of a large cliff beside the village.
I knew this would probably be the only place I could find shelter. I walked closer to the village. The sun was now gone and the only thing illuminating my path was the rising moon. I reached the village and went in. I looked around. The place was filled with other weird stuff like tall stone pillars and the ground was filled with what looked like massive craters. Most of the houses were destroyed only leaving behind the stone base.
Suddenly a bunch of identically looking people jumped out at me surrounding me instantly. They were all holding weird blue shing swords. One of them spoke and asked me if I was real or not. I was a bit shocked and didn’t know how to respond. I started explaining to them how I got here. They cut me off and invited me inside the weird castle structure. They explained to me that the same thing had happened to them. John and Jerry had invited them to test out the new computer.
When they arrived both John and Jerry acted weird around them and then they were taken to a weird green room where they were sat on a chair and then ended up waking up here. They explained to me that they all arrived at different times. Time moved a lot faster in Minecraft. There were around eight of us not including me. The oldest person here had been stuck here for a few weeks. One of the people that got trapped here with us knew a lot about Minecraft. We will call this person Adam. Adam said they were going to teach me how everything worked later but first we needed to survive the night.
Adam explained to me that John and Jerry had modified the game changing it a lot from the original. They added a few new monsters made specifically to mess with us. He explained to me that before I arrived there were two other players that lived in this base too. Both of them were killed by the monsters. They did not respawn basically if you die in the game you die in real life.
He told me that everybody looked the same was because everybody was the default character from Minecraft. The others warned me about the incoming monsters. There was a large window high above the ground. I looked out of it and could see all the monsters spawning in. I knew most of them. There were creepers, zombies, giant spiders, Enderman, skeletons, and others. But what caught my interest were the monsters that looked like us. Some of the monsters that spawned in looked like the default skins.
These monsters had their arms outstretched like Zombies. They moved around like normal people. I saw one of hem approach a creeper. The monster opened its mouth wide like an Enderman and it quickly run towards the creeper killing it with one hit.
Soon these monsters were swarming our area killing ever single living creature. The others explained to me that they called these enemies “Doppelgangers”.
Soon the Doppelgangers noticed our presence. They were a lot more intelligent from all the other monsters. They formed large groups and surrounded the base. The only noises they made was weird gurgling and screaming. I started freaking out. Would I die? What happens to me if I die inside a video game. Will I end up like two bleeding bodies I saw in the green room?
One of the people in the group who I will call Carl noticed I was freaking out he took me to the furthest part of the base where he gave me an enchanted diamond sword to protect myself with. I could feel the heaviness and power of the sword in my arms.
Then I heard a large bang. The Doppelgangers had broken into the base. Everybody started screaming. I had no idea who was who as everybody looked the same. I run and hid in one of the rooms closing the door behind me I was in a large bedroom. I could hear the others battling the Doppelgangers outside the door. I waited at the back of the room holding my sword.
Then one of the Doppelgangers broke down the door and run at me with his freakish mouth wide open. It got up to me before I could react. For a second everything turned red, and I felt intense pain throughout my entire body. The hearts in my health bar almost all disappeared leaving me with one and a half heart. I started hitting the Doppelganger with my sword hit it repeatedly. The force of the hits hit the Doppelganger throwing him away from me keeping it at a distance so it could not hurt me.
After many hits my arms felt weak, and the Doppelganger was still standing. Eventually it died. It fell to its side and disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving behind flesh. The flesh appeared in my inventory. I didn’t want that in my inventory so I through it away. In a panic with my hand, I was able to break the wooden blocks that made the ground. I blocked off the exit. And I stayed there. I could still hear the fighting outside.
I got into one of the beds and the moment it went silent outside I instantly fell asleep with everything fading to black. I woke up the next day instantly. It was a dreamless night. Some of my health had regenerated. I didn’t want to leave the room as I was afraid those things were still out there.
I noticed there was a chest under one of the beds. I broke the bed and placed it elsewhere. I then opened the chest and found a few cookies inside. I ate them which restored my food bar. I no longer felt hungry. As I still had a few cookies I decided I was going to stay inside the room and not go out. I would now what time it was as a weird clock was attached to the wall which showed what time of day it was. I would stay put. I was too afraid to go out.
So, I stayed inside there. I was in that room for two days completely alone. The only light was coming from torches that would never go out. On the third day I had only a few cookies left. I know I would not survive long on these, so I risked it and broke down the two blocks and I walked out of the room.
The base was in ruin. Everything was destroyed. All the others were nowhere in sight as well as the doppelgangers. I started looking around the base to see if any of them hid like me. I found some chests and took some food and armor from them. I looked out the window and saw that the landscape was completely empty. I walked downstairs and then found an entrance to the basement. I went into the basement and found myself standing in front of a huge tunnel. I could not see the other side.
This was probably were the others escaped to. I went into the tunnel. The tunnel was very long, and I hoped that there was something at the end and I was not just wasting my time. After a long time, I reached the exit to the tunnel. The tunnel ended with a hole with a ladder that went straight up. I could see light shining through the hole.
I went up the ladder and started climbing up. After I reached the top, I found myself standing in a lush jungle. As I was looking around, I noticed a tall monster staring at me. It looked like an Enderman, but it was a lot more reptilian. It had one giant eye that glowed green.
I was frozen in fear. I then started running away from it as fast as I could. I turned around to see it right behind me. What was strange it wasn’t moving. I stopped.
I looked at it and then quickly turned around and then looked back at it again. It had moved closer to me. I then did it again and it got closer. This thing would only come closer if I stopped looking at it. This would be a challenge to avoid it. The Jungle I was in was extremely dense and I would lose it out of my sight even if I just moved a small distance away.
I didn’t know what I could do. I started slowly walking backwards trying to keep the one-eyed monster in my sight. As I got further away, I suddenly fell down a huge pit. Luckly for me there was water at the bottom. I was now at a bottom of a giant dark pit. There was a massive cave entrance before me, but I didn’t want to go in since I had no light sources. I noticed that I could swim up the water. There was a waterfall that reached all the way up to the top.
I swam up it and when I got to the top of the waterfall I started frantically looking around. The one-eyed monster was gone. It was nowhere to be seen. I quickly started running through the Jungle. As I run, I noticed it was getting dark. It was night again. I quickly mined a few dirt blocks and climbed up a massive tree. By the time I was on top of the of the tree it was dark.
The doppelgangers started spawning and killing all the enemies. They did not see me as I was hiding on top of the tree. I stayed on top of that tree the entire night. I waited until dawn. As the sun started rising the doppelgangers started crawling away into dark caves.
I went down the tree and started walking away. I finally found an exit to the jungle and now found myself in a strange new biome. It looked like a forest, but everything was made from wool. It was a bit unnerving, but I continued walking through the biome. I eventually came across massive black spherical structures poking out of the ground. There were multiple of them randomly spread around a small area. There were few small cracks inside them. I looked inside.
The insides were filled with flesh. It was little flesh chambers. What looked like blood veins were randomly located around the walls. There was a weird green liquid at the bottom. The textures were a lot higher quality that the rest of the blocks in the game. This was the first time I felt smell and the smell was awful. I quickly run away because I could not bare it.
I then came across a massive structure. I went inside and there in front of me was a massive portal.
I went up to the portal. It was glowing purple. I remembered that this was Nether Portal. I went into it and was teleported. But right before teleporting I was a bright flash of purple.
== Chapter 3: Nether ==
I was now in another world. A massive cave made from red rock. The only thing that lit up this place was lava and fire. I wanted to go back but the portal was gone. Only the frame remained. I had no way of going back. I guess I was not stuck here. Maybe this was where the others were hiding. This place was hot. I could feel the heat on my skin. The ground was made from a weird crimson rock. I began walking trying to find something. Maybe there was something here that would help me escape. I was still unsure if I was either dreaming in a simulation, or in purgatory. I thought about umping into the lava down below to test the theory out, but I was afraid that it would kill me for real. I made my way through the red barren wasteland until I found myself in a desert. This desert was made from a strange brown sand. Massive bones littered the place. The desert was quite small, and I could see what looked like a red forest on the other side. I wanted to see if there was anything in the forest, so I started walking across the desert. I noticed that walking across the sand made me tired and it slowed me down. I walked into a diffent patch of brown sand and this one did not slow me down.
As I was getting closer to the forest a massive pale worm jumped out of the sand and tried attacking me. It has a massive gaping mouth with several rows’ sharp teeth. Each row of teeth spun like a cement mixer. I felt great pain once again as everything flashed red for a few seconds. I started running but the worm was able to hit me again causing great pain to me once again.
I run into the red forest. The worm was unable to get into it as it was too big, and the forest was way too dense for it. I kept running through the forest. I was then attacked by a bunch of pig people. They made weird grunting noises when they saw me. Luckily I was able to avoid them. I eventually reached a massive fortress. Its mas made from red brick. It was very high off the ground. I started breaking the nearby blocks so I could use them to climb to the top. It was very high of the ground. Because of that worm I was now on very low health. I had no food so there was no way I could regenerate. If I fell, I would die. When I reached the top, I found myself standing Infront of a long hallway. I started walking through it. As I was walking, I heard a strange noise behind me. I turned around to see what looked like a blob of flesh. It was jumping towards me making an awful sound. As it got closer, I was hit with an awful smell.
I could barely bear it and I tried running away. By this point I could no longer sprint because my hunger bar had gotten way too low. But I kept going. As I was going through the corridors multiple other flesh blobs started chasing me. They were slow so I did not have a hard time avoiding them.
I reached a large room. This room was different from the rest of the structure as it looked like it was constructed from some weird metal. At the center of the room was a massive pit. As I looked down, I could see that the pit had a ladder on one of its walls. I quickly got towards the ladder and stated climbing downwards.
I reached the bottom of the pit. I was now in another room. This one was way larger than the previous one. The only exit from this room was a massive gate. I went through it and entered a massive hallway. This hallway was huge.
I noticed there was something coming down the hallway. As it got closer, I realized how huge this thing was. It looked like a giant humanoid. It had no skin its body was weirdly contorted, and its face was covered in multiple gaping black holes which were leaking a yellowish liquid. The smell hit me once again. This smell was even more horrible than that of those weird flesh tumors I saw in that wool forest or the flesh blobs I encountered in the tunnels.
This smell was the worst thing I had ever smelled. I started going in the opposite direction. This thing was way faster than me. Then I remembered something. I still had the flesh of the Doppelganger. I had forgotten about it. I quickly opened my inventory. I then took out the flesh and I ate it. It tasted awful but I was suddenly hit with a large amount of energy.
My visions went weird with everything suddenly becoming extremely colorful. I started running really fast. But the strange beast was still catching up to me. I quickly started climbing the ladder. As I was halfway up, I looked down. The flesh monster was climbing up after me like a spider it used its freakish legs to dig into the walls and push itself upwards towards me. As it got closer the squishing and crunching sound it made got louder. I reached the top and started running towards the tunnels. The flesh monster reached the top and started chasing after me. I thought that I would be safe in the tunnels because they were a lot smaller for the creature. When I got into one of the tunnels. The flesh monster stopped in its tracks I thought I was safe until it broke apart its smaller flesh monster which then started chasing after me. They were a lot faster and were getting really close to me.
I eventually came running into a dead end. I did not know what to do. Then I saw a small hole in the ceiling. I looked up the hole only for a massive tongue to grab me and pull me up. I was quickly pulled upwards. I was no longer being chased by the flesh monster but now I was in much bigger trouble. I could not see anything as it was completely pitch black. The tongue kept pulling me upwards. I was suddenly hit with a bright light.
I was in what looked like a pool area. I looked up to see the tongue pulling me into a massive mouth filled with sharp teeth. I started fighting back but nothing worked. When I got close enough to the mouth, I punched it. It screamed releasing me. I fell into one of the pools. I got out of the pool right before what looked like a skinless fish with no face that was covered in gaping holes with long tentacles poking out of them attacked me.
I kept looking around trying to find a way out. I then saw a door. I started running towards the door. As I was running, I looked around to see that all of the pools were filled with all kinds of strange creatures that looked absolutely alien. The ceiling mouth started stretching its awful tongue towards me again. Before it could reach me, I got to the door and opened it. I instantly started falling. The door led to a broken bridge, and I was unlucky enough to instantly fall through one of the holes. Below me was a massive black pit. Or at least it looked like a pit. It was actually an End Portal. I fell in.
The world faded to purplish for a few seconds. Before I regained my vision. 
== Chapter 4: The End ==
I was now standing on top of a floating platform made from obsidian. The platform was connected to a massive floating island made from strange yellow stone with a bridge made from dirt blocks. I walked across the dirt bridge and onto the island. The island was completely empty, and it was filled with ruins of massive obsidian pillars.
I explored the island. It was complete barren. I came across what looked like a massive house. I went into it expecting it to be filled with monster, but it was complete empty. There were no monster or strange insight. The island was completely devoid of all life. I was the only one on the island. I looked around the house. It had multiple chests filled with all different kinds of food. I collected as much as I could and tried finding a way off the island.
After looking for a while I found a thin path. It was extremely thin and was made from different kinds of slab blocks. I started walking along the path. What I did not expect was how long this path would take. I walked for hours and hours. The only thing positive about this was that I could get some time to myself to think. I walked and I walked, and I walked, and I walked for a long time.
But finally, after hours of walking I reached another island. This island was grouped up with multiple smaller ones. There were small islands everywhere. Massive purple plants grew everywhere. I could see huge structures through the darkness. I reached the end of the path which ended at a bunch of stairs. I walked up the stairs to the top of one of the islands. The island was filled with what looked like purple trees. Tiny bugs crawled across the ground. I saw before me that a lot of the islands were connected with these paths.
I followed these paths exploring each island. By this point I had given up looking for the others. I had long forgotten them by now. I was just kind of existing by this point. I wanted to find answers why this was all happening. After exploring multiple islands, I came across a massive island. This one was covered in a dense jungle of purple trees. I walked onto the island and started exploring it. The island was filled with these weird giraffe monsters. They were purple and had long thin bodies that reached high up. They were passive and ignored my presence. They just walked around doing nothing.
I reached a clearing in the forest. Now Infront of me was a massive tower that reached high up. In front of the towers entrance was a chest. I opened the chest, and it was filled with different weapons and armor. I put on all the armor, and I took out the weapons. I started walking up the tower. I was instantly attacked by black spider monsters with glowing purple veins. I was able to kill them with my weapons. Some of them I stabbed to death while others I just avoided.
I soon reached the top of the tower. On top of the tower was a large arena and in the center of the arena was what looked like a massive shell. I came up to it and the shell opened. Inside was a massive purple blob with thousands of glowing green eyes. It screamed with its many mouths and those spider monsters started crawling out of them. Then it closed it shell.
I killed the spider monster and then the shell opened again. This time I was quick enough to get a few hits on the strange shell monster. With every hit it got smaller. It screamed again releasing those spider monster and then it closed the shell making it immune to my attacks. This process repeated a couple of times until I finally killed it. It screamed once more but this time it exploded into a cloud of purple and green blood and flesh.
I stood there not knowing what to do. All the blocks in the world started slowly breaking. Giant holes to the void below started being formed. I tried avoiding them but soon there was not much ground left. I eventually fell into the void. And I fell for a long time. I kept speeding up getting faster and faster. I began feeling dizzy before the world started flashing multiple colors. I felt like I was getting ripped put of my body before suddenly I felt like I exploded into millions of bits. 
== Chapter 5: Residuum ==
I was back at the office. I was no longer in a strange blocky world. I took the wires off my head, and I tried standing up but ended up falling over. The room smelled terrible. The computer looked like it had fried itself. A bit of awful smelling spoke came out of it. I looked around and noticed all the other people in the room were dead. Blood was leaking from their lips and noses and their eyes were blood shot. I was the only survivor. Suddenly a very angry John and Jerry walked into the room. The looked around without saying a word and took of their headphones.
I stayed completely still. Jerry walked out of the room for a second and came back in with multiple body bags. Both John and Jerry started putting the bodies inside the body bags. When they got to me, I suddenly thrusted up punching John in the face. He was definitely caught off guard by this. He stumbled back and fell over. Jerry instantly noticed and charged atm me punching me in the gut. John quickly stood up and walked up to me kicking me across the room. I was able to keep my balance.
I bolted out of the room with both John and Jerry chasing right behind me. They both took out machetes and started yelling gibberish at me. I was able to get out of the office and run into the street. The fools chased me across the street still holding their machetes and yelling at me. Of course, somebody called the police. I had in a store, and they run away. Not long after they were caught. I explained to the police what they had done to me, but the police had a hard time believing me and they said they would investigate.
The computer was confiscated, and I was soon contacted by the government. I would be payed twenty-five thousand dollars a month if I kept shut about what had happened. They told me that both John and Jerry were taken away and were being investigated as well as their creation.
It now has been two months since that happened. Their computer really messed with my head. I still sometimes hallucinate the monster I saw. But it has getting better. At first the hallucinations were pretty bad to the point I could barely function but over time they have been slowly fading away. I have been talking to a therapist and have started jogging. Even with everything that has happened to me I still try to be happy.
