## Prologue

Abacus was a bank worker at Block City, but once the Robot King took over, the robots took over his job, so he became a fisherman. Every morning, he and his friend Klaus fished at a river, and came back to Block City with the fish they had earned.

One day, as they were heading back, Abacus noticed a strange red comet crashing into the trees nearby. Abacus decided to check it out, and Klaus protested, but hesitantly joined him. He found a red orb surrounded with spiders. Abacus decided to investigate it, despite Klaus's claims that they were going to be late. Upon touching the orb, Abacus felt a scorching sensation and immediately recoiled. Abacus made Klaus promise to not tell the robots about it, and after explaining why they were late to the guards, they headed off to sleep.

When Abacus awoke, he found that Klaus was gone. As he headed out to find him, two robot guards grabbed him. He soon figured out that Klaus had told the guards about the orb. However, Klaus was punished too, due to not immediately telling the robots about it. They were then sent to work in the netherite mines.

## Plot

Carl and Alex work on The Legend of Carl the Creeper. Alex complains about the overabundance of characters and plots, but Carl says that it is meant to "challenge" the reader. Alex points out a solitary gray hair on Spidroth's head, which Spidroth repeatedly denies exists. Spidroth then realizes she will age due to the absence of her powers, and after Alex unhelpfully states she will never age, Dave convinces them all to go to sleep.

The next day, Dave's Crew pass by windswept hills, which Dave, Carl, and Spidroth do not recall seeing due to passing through the Nether and skipping the biome. Alex mentions that when she and the Ninja Squad passed through it, there had been skeletons and bone spiders.

After setting up a shelter, a large group of bone spiders attack them at night, and everyone begins to fight. Dave uses the Sight to see that the bone spiders are only the first wave of a larger attack, which includes skeleton wolves and skeletons on horseback. Both Spidroth and Alex wear armor, since the spiders shoot bone shards that they cannot evade. Since the Sensei Coach and the chickens lack armor, they do not join the battle either. Eventually, Dave and his friends destroy the bone spiders, leaving nothing but string and spider eyes.

Soon after, a horn blows, and the skeleton wolves and the normal skeletons arrive. The chickens join the battle, easily dodging the arrows and giving swift kicks to the mobs. After defeating the wolves and the skeletons, the leader of the skeletons, a skeleton with glowing blue eyes, arrives. He claims he is the Necromancer, which Carl mistakes as the Noobomancer. The Necromancer tries to persuade Dave's Crew to do as he wishes, but unfazed, they decline. The Necromancer, unused to people rejecting his orders, tries again and again, but fails. Carl scares him off, and the Necromancer reluctantly leaves.

After a day of traveling, Dave's Crew, Sensei Coach, Creepo Jones and Milo arrive at the crowded Crossroads Inn. Sensei Coach had to place his chickens inside of the stables, and is worrying about them. When Spidroth mentions they should stay far away from the moobloom field, Creepo Jones is intrigued, but Dave tells Creepo Jones about how Spidroth and Carl nearly died, and how he had to save them. Creepo Jones still wants to observe the mooblooms, but is eventually convinced not to.

That night, Dave, unable to sleep, thinks of his promise to the Meeps that he would be the Farmer. Feeling hot, he exits the room and walks into the common room, where he finds Kayla the meep. Dave explains that he has to save the villager continent from the robots before he becomes the Farmer, but Kayla says that he can't put it off. Dave says that Herobrine will destroy the universe if he doesn't do anything, but Kayla is persistent and says that bad things will happen if Dave does not fulfill his promise. Kayla then disappears, and Dave decides to tell his friends the truth.
