Diary of Steve the Noob 2

***Diary of Steve the Noob 2*** is the second book of the first saga of Diary of Steve the Noob series. It was published on June 11, 2015.

## Plot

### Monday

Steve had been walking along the plains for hours with no one in sight. Thinking about the destruction of his old village by monsters and ashamed of his failure in protecting them, he was already looking for a way to end the monster plague. He killed some chickens and ate their meat, but ate it raw and gained diarrhea. Later at night, he dug underground to avoid the mobs.

### Tuesday

The human woke up next morning when a herd of crows appeared above his hole. As he tried to get out, one of them pooed on him. Angered, he killed her and the rest of the herd. He continued walking in the same direction as he had yesterday until he found a new village in the afternoon. He was shown around by the mayor and met with Bob the blacksmith. Steve stayed in his smithy and told him about the previous village, his quest to defeat the nightly plague and his thoughts to build a trench around this village.

### Wednesday

Steve started building the trench with an iron shovel Bob gave him. Bob helped a little but had to go run the blacksmith shop. Other villagers came to dig but had no tools, so they were slower. A farmer named Cindy passed by and told Steve to place torches to stop monsters from spawning. They continued digging until 6 pm. At night, Steve and Bob ate dinner; Bob taught Steve how to make rabbit stew.

### Thursday

Steve ran to his old village to get materials. As he went, he ate Bob's packed salmon, fell in a hole he made and defeated some sheep for their drops. He found the village overrun with slimes. He snuck around and gathered wood, stone and torches. At night, he stayed up at the old village's church and built a bed from the sheep's wool.

### Friday

He continued gathering materials until noon, before sprinting back. Everyone continued building the trench and placed torches around. At night time, he realized that skeletons could still shoot across the trench, so he decided to build a wall behind the trench. Bob's door was locked and he was a heavy sleeper, so Steve was forced to fight the zombie outbreak until Cindy opened her door. After blocking it with stone blocks, Cindy went to sleep. Steve worked away on leather armour and stone shovels.

### Saturday

With new shovels, the village continued building the trench, Steve had a chat with Lisa, a wise elder. She told him about a guardian who could protect the villagers 24 hours a day, but explained it could only be created by a "worthy" village, or be built using 36 iron and a pumpkin. At 4 pm, the trench was completed but the villager didn't celebrate yet due to what happened last time. Steve built a house next to Bob, who helped him. They hid at home when the zombies arrived, but none banged at their doors.

### Sunday

The trench was indeed successful in stopping the zombies. The villagers celebrated throughout the day while calling Steve the village champion. However, he was working indoors on the next defensive upgrade.
