***Spoiler warning:** Plot summary will follow.*

## Overview

**The Adventure Begins** is the first book in The Legend of Dave the Villager Series and the first book in Season 1. In this book, Dave, the main character, sets out to find an end portal and kill the Ender Dragon.

## Plot

Dave wakes up to Steve breaking the blocks of his house. His parents praise him and say that they were blessed to have Steve there. When Dave goes outside, he sees that Steve is making a huge statue of himself using blocks from the village. He blows up the statue, destroying the village. Dave is mad about this, but the rest of the villager's praise Steve, like most villagers do.

Because of the explosion, an end portal is revealed. Some of the portal blocks had strange eyes in them, and one of them were broken, meaning the portal couldn't be activated. Dave found a book telling him that the eyes were Eyes of Ender, and how to craft them.

Dave decides to set off to find an End portal, but Steve takes the Eyes of Ender for himself, saying that adventures are only for Steves. Everyone tells him that villagers aren't supposed to go on adventures, but an old villager named Old Man Johnson gives him a crafting book. With that, Dave goes out on his adventure.

Dave spots a forest, and uses the wood from the trees to make a pickaxe. A note tells him not to dig straight down, so he digs sideways and finds coal and cobblestone. Dave cooks a porkchop, but suddenly zombies come. Dave thinks the only way to escape is by digging straight down, but when he digs down he finds himself falling into lava. Luckily, he lands on a stone block and tries to build back up, but he accidentally drops most of his blocks.

Suddenly, a pig on two legs comes. He builds a sand bridge, and Dave walks across it. The pig introduces himself as Porkins, who was actually a pig*man* rather than a pig, and politely invites Dave to spend the night at his house. Dave accepts, and they go to bed. When they wake up, they eat breakfast and Porkins also gives him a diamond sword. Then, they start exiting the cave.

As they try to get out of the cave, they come across some zombies. They manage to avoid them, but a creeper blows up, separating them. Dave is thrown into an underwater river, and comes across even more creepers. One of them tries to blow them up but fails. The creeper tries again, but Dave runs away. Soon, he bumps into a creeper, but it was the one who couldn't explode earlier. The creeper introduces himself as Carl, and he says he has been kicked out of his gang, so he will join Dave.

On the way, they see some zombies, who have captured Porkins. Just as they were about to eat Porkins, Dave says that Carl will blow them all up and the zombies flee. After Porkins rejoins them, they soon find the surface.

Dave builds a cabin to say in and make plans on how to acquire Eyes of Ender before sleeping. The next morning, Dave mentions that they have to go the Nether. Porkins tells them the story of the pigmen, and how they were all zombified by Herobrine. He says that he escaped into the Overworld, where he has been living.

Over the next few days, they mine for diamonds and obsidian. They notice there are endermen, but do not fight them. After a few days, they make the portal and go into the Nether, where they immediately encounter a ghast. They run away and spot zombie pigmen, but they don't attack them. Dave, Carl and Porkins then sleep on the ground but are captured by zombie pigmen, and they start heading towards a fortress. Just before they enter the fortress, Dave yells at a ghast, who shoots a fireball at them. Everybody splits up and the trio run into a small cave. Porkins is able to smell a baked potato in Carl's bag and they reclaim their items.

After this, they go to the fortress and use an underground passage to go below it. Along the way, they see a carving of Herobrine on the wall. They see blazes, so they come up with a plan: Dave attacks the blazes with his sword, Porkins shoots the blazes with his arrows, and Carl provides nonexistent moral support.

After they get enough blaze rods, Dave builds a staircase back up. Suddenly, some zombie pigmen chase them down a passage, cornering them. An extremely fat pigman with a crown comes, and he introduces himself as Trotter. The zombie pigmen bring Dave, Carl and Porkins to Trotter's throne room, and he tells them that Herobrine provided him with zombifying potions, and that they were about to be zombified. Suddenly, some blazes came up the stairs Dave built and attack. Dave, Carl and Porkins take this chance to escape.

Trotter chases them, but Dave yells at another ghast and Trotter is hit by a fireball. They run down corridors, looking for a place to set up a nether portal, passing through a room full of the potion. Porkins kicks a vat of it, and Trotter steps in it and turns into a zombie pigman. After running a bit more, Dave builds a nether portal but accidentally uses nether brick instead of obsidian. He corrects the mistake, and they go through the portal.

In the Overworld, they appear in a snowy area. They see that Trotter is too big to go through the portal, but will eventually come through. Dave and Porkins quickly destroy a block and Trotter is cut in half-half in the Nether, half in the Overworld.

However, that half could still move around and lands a blow on Porkins that sends him flying. Dave is captured and about to be eaten by Trotter, when a mysterious hero with full diamond armor fires many arrows at Trotter, killing him. That hero is revealed to be Steve.

## Epilogue

Herobrine comes to the stronghold under Dave's village. He wants to use it and sees what had happened and sees Dave talking about his dream to beat the dragon. After hearing it, he feels Dave knows how to find another stronghold and sends his witches to find him.
