before I even crafted a tool or made a home, I'm facing the threat of the endermen's wrath. What did I even do to piss him off? I was minding my own business. I feel the rain pouring down as I backed away a little from the ominious black and purple figure, tall and slender, it eyed me with its mouth wide open. I noticed that it's carrying a dirt block off.
Did I accidently hit it while I was blasting the ground? But there's no way I could've known that it would hit him! No use in complaining about it though, I have to think fast and escape out of harm. These creatures are fierce and unyielding, they teleport and attack anyone they hold a grudge with. Without a sword, it's practically impossible to kill that thing. And it'll not stop until i die. what should I do..?
As i kept thinking, in split seconds the endermen disappeared in a poof leaving purple sparks. Oh!! it started teleporting!!
I have to stay vigilant, it'll hit me from all sides from now.
I lept inside my shallow trench that I just made to duck from the endermen's sight.
It'll never leave me alone. It'll stay around there until it kills me. I'm so tired, I don't even have cobblestones to block off the roof. Dirt blocks can be removed by endermen, so it's not safe to rely on it for cover. Only one thing for me to do now.. I have to fight him head on.
I could keep being inside this hole and be safe but the hunger will catch up to me. Not sure if the monsters could spawn inside this area as it doesn't have any torches either. I must fight the endermen. There's no going back. I readied my fist but It hurts so much from punching. This is it for me..
I climbed outside.
....
The endermen is nowhere to be found, all I could see is a young man with brown goggles on his head and all black casual attire. he carries a iron sword on his back, a pearl that I could only describe as an endermen eye. he noticed that i'm staring at him now.
"say.. who the f##k are you?" he asked me with a confused expression, which should've been my line here.
"Im just passing by here, who are you? I thought I'm in a single player world"
"Oh, you're a moron.. just the right kind of gullible idiot that I was looking for, give me everything you got. right now. or you'll die like the black creature that you are!" he shouted.
"whoaaa.. whoa slow down there, man.."
That's gotta be racially motivated.. no way.
"I just spawed here today, I got nothing on me. I don't even have a stone block." I answered the strange guy with odd temper.
...
He took a look around and paused for a moment and asked how I made those giant holes. I told him that I dug by hand for hours.
He laughed and took his leave. He must have thought that i'm not even worth bullying. He did give an hint before leaving though.
"if you managed to survive, head east. you'll find the town where you can meet your kind. see ya later, little bro"
What do you mean little bro? I'm clearly older than him by looks alone! this guy didn't even say his name. Seems like there's a lot of people live here in this world. Maybe he meant the villager NPCs, I can totally see that guy making it up as a joke on how I'm similar to those NPCs. What a jerk. But, sadly I don't have the power to humble him. I've got the raw punch blessing but it has its limits. I need to gather material to make my tools soon.
After he had left, I patched up the roof with some dirt with one block open for light. That's an huge risk but there's no other way, I have to craft my crafting table. I took the wood blocks and tapped on it a few times to get wood planks. It's much easier than real life in this aspect as the no inventory doesn't really hinder the process, I just have to think cleverly to free-form my own crafts.
I made some planks and set aside some in a corner while being careful that no creeper or zombie is roaming near my roof.
I took a few planks and made a cube shaped object. It actually worked, the object formed into a crafting table.
A crafting table is necessary to make complex objects.
My table looks crude but atleast it's more than a bunch of wooden planks now.
I'll get to make more stuff with this table. I plucked the planks to make some sticks and attached the 3 wood blocks horizontally on top with 2 sticks vertically to create my first pickaxe!
I have to make a furnace soon. There's no way I'm finding coal here for torch so my safe bet is mining some stones to make furnace to create charcoal out of my wood blocks. It consumes more wood and its probably a waste but desperate times requires urgent solutions.. besides, I can keep punching more wood in a matter of seconds with my powers.
I started mining around my hole and mustered up a odd ball of stones that turned into my very own furnace. it's not pretty but it worked. I made some charcoal, and finally blocked off the roof. Torches will come in handy every night. I tied my charcoals to a stick and made torches and placed it around the hole which now looked a little cleaner than before.
I'm still surprised that rude guy had killed the endermen all by himself in seconds. He must be really powerful. I'll have to seek him out soon, I need to know where he is from. There's no way that he is living here alone, someone must be here with him. Maybe there's a whole group of survivors who live in this world... Only one way to find out. I'll get him. I'll get him the next time we meet. Mark my words.
