《The March of Death: Steve's Diary》 Chapter One: Saturday Update I The grass crunched beneath me. The wind blew. The trees blew over me. And the sun set. Okay okay, I know, dramatic, but I''ve got to make this dramatic. Mike has been nagging me about making my diary too childish and too funny. I do agree with him, Herobrine is causing chaos, and we need to warn everyone in the West. And to do that, we sadly had to go through Ravensong Forest. We decided to settle for the night and... Wait let me go shut Mike up, he''s snoring too loudly. ... Alright, back. So after we left Villagetown, we started embarking on our adventure. And we saw the strangestest things.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. After walking through the forest a bit, we noticed that there was a walking sound behind us, almost as if someone was following us...hmmm. After we noticed that, the mobs just started coming at us. Which resulted in us yelling and running for our lives. Now before you call us noobs, 1. I am a pro.(I don''t know about Mike though) 2. There was about 50 or more zombies in that forest. So we were literally forced to climb a tree. Thinking zombies couldn''t climb, we thought we were safe. "Heh, Steve, these zombies are good. Just not good enough to climb trees." "Yeah, so true, an-" "What''s wrong Steve? You look like you just saw pizza, but getting burnt." "LOOK BEHIND YOU!" "What? Wha-what? Ho-" The zombies literally climbed on top of each other to climb up the tree. So we ran some more, with those darn zombies chasing us on the treetops. They eventually gave up, and retreated to some...zombie in some dark suit of armor. So I guess, Herobrine is trying to hunt us down, or zombies just grew a lot smarter. This mission of"warning everyone of the impending doom that is about to come on them"is going to be a lot more harder... Well, I''m just going to eat something and sleep. Tommarrow we are planning to hopefully arrive at a nearby Inn. Chapter 2: Sunday Update I "Mike, you look like a porquipine." "Steve, I can''t lie either, you too." We literally ran through a forest filled with skelotons, while being shot at. Good thing this armor kept me safe. So we just continued on, healing as we went, and it was pretty peaceful. "I guess Herobrine isn''t hunting us anymore." "Steve, you really believe that?" "Sure, we haven''t seen any mobs in a while, and we are almost arriving at that Inn you mentioned." "You never know, someone is probably waiting to kill us right now..." Call it bad luck, or destiny, right after Mike said that, we got ambushed. By a group of OBSIDIAN ARMOR WEARING WITHER SKE-LE-TONS! Yeah just had to emphasize that. Anyways, their leader, a 3 block tall wither skeloton with a giant axe came up to us. We were surrounded by wither skeletons with horses, flying skeleton birds, and these wolfs made out of bones. "YOU THERE! BY THE ORDER OF HEROBRINE, WE ARE TO CAPTURE YOU BOTH. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL LEAD IN YOUR DEATH!" "Okay, Steve, we should run now." "THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR YOU! WITHERING KNIGHTS OF THE OBSIDIAN ORDER, KILL OR CAPTURE THOSE TWO!" "Steve...Get back to back now!" And they charged at us. Mike chopped of the leg of one of the horses, making one of those knights topple down. I just stared and gripped my sword. "Steve! Do something!" "I''m more of the builder type, not a fighter!" "Look, just swing your sword like this, and then SWING IT NOW!" I swung, right when a skeleton wolf jumped at me. I knocked it down. Wow, I must be really good at this. Then I saw Mike take down 2 more wither skeletons. Okay, maybe I need to do a bit more better. So I started swinging like crazy, chopping and slicing as much as I could. The wither skeletons kept charging at us, thinking they could hit us at least once. Nope. Mike and I were too good for them. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Then they realized that their strategy of "let''s go charge at 2 random players" wasn''t working. So they fell back and brought out crossbows. Dirty cheaters. Mike, had a shield. I did not. And as a result, I go hit in the leg, and their arrows were coated with Wither VII. Yeah, and my world turned dark and my health bar started turning black. I felt my body being withered away, and the last word before I died was Mike yelling my name. Now, you readers are probably wondering,"How is Steve writing this?" Even I''m confused still. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I opened my eyes again. And then saw my body lying in front of me. Woah, this is so weird. It reminds me of those times I played skyblock and I died, and then became a spectator... Can I fly? Woah I can fly! SO cool an- Oh right, I''m dead, and now Mike is going to die...this is sad... I thought it was all over for me, and I would have to live as some kind of ghost. Hello Steve. "Wha-who is this?" Shhh. You have been gifted and cursed with a new ability. "What is it?" It is called "Corrupted Respawn." "What does it do?" Everytime you die, you may respawn again and again. Just be warned, this ability has consequences. "And that is?" Now, go back to your friend, and good luck. You''re going to need it. "Wait, you can''t just do that! I need expla-" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You monsters! You killed Steve!" This was the first sentence I heard when I respawned. Mike and a wither knight were arguing. It was really weird, I felt like my body had become like, uhh, remerged? It was a weird feeling. "Well, that Steve fellow was a noob, lets get the last guy wither comrades!" "Oh, you are paying for this" "We are not paying fo-what the...the human!" "Huh? What do you mea-Steve? You''re alive?" I slowly stood up, and then started at everyone. I was still shocked I was alive. Then I felt a pain in my leg. Right, forgot about the arrow in my leg. I pulled the arrow out of my leg, and threw it at the wither skeleton that was insulting Mike. It hit him straight in the eye. Okay, it actually hit him in the knee, but it would have been cool if it did hit him in the eye. It was quiet for a few seconds. Then everyone started yelling. "AAARGGGGH" "Steve? How in the Overworld? How are you alive?" "WHAT! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY! WITHER KNIGHTS! RETREAT! WE MUST REASSESS OUR ENEMY!" And the remaining wither skeletons rode their horses and ran away. We watched them run, and then Mike started at me for a long time. "Want a healing potion?" "Umm...I don''t really feel like it." "You don''t want a healing potion? Whatever, you are healing anyways. Eat something!" "Alright...uhhh...Mike...." "Yes?" "My entire inventory got wiped." "Sigh...Steve, you are explaining EVERYTHING to me when we get to the Inn." So we continued quietly, and reached the Inn later by nightfall. Chapter Two Saturday Update II I slammed, oh I don''t know, a hundred emeralds on the counter. "Give me pizza. Large size. Put pepperoni if you can." The waitress stared at me and blinked. "Um sir, we don''t have ''Pizza'' around here. Maybe that''s from where you come?" "What? It''s the round, I mean circle thing, with cheese and toppings!" A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "Uhh, the round thing we have is a stromberry roll. And what is cheese?" "STOP IT! I know this is a pra-" Someone tapped me on the shoulder, a guy in a ranger outfit. He motioned me to follow him and I sat at his table while Mike just shook his head and ordered something. "Look fellow, pizza isn''t a thing anymore. This is Aetheria, not Earth. I know its hard, I liked pasta but its not here, just get over with it. Also, my name''s Jackson, part of the Aetherian Expeditionary Force. Nice to meet ye." "Uh, yeah nice to meet you.I''ll see you later." I walked and groaned and cried while Mike dragged me up the stairs to our room. Chapter Four Saturday Update III "Steve, stop trying to craft pizza" "Mike, I saw you trying to borrow the chef''s crafting book. Don''t try to pretend you don''t care." "Alright, fine, but at least I did something. I warned some people about Herobrine, and now they are going out to warn others. Also, I talked to a Quest NPC and I got a quest." "Alright..." "I also bought some materials from a merchant, so get crafting and get yourself ready for tommarrow." He dumped a bunch of iron and other materials in front of me. "Alright...will do..." I started crafting swords and armor and made some potions when I heard some shouting and screaming. I quickly ran down, and saw one of the wither knights. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it "Mike! What''s happening?" "They followed us, get him!" The wither skeleton toppled another table over and charged at us, but before it could reach us, an arrow went through his eye. Not kidding. It was Jackson, he saved us right in time. "You fellows okay?" "Yeah, thanks, I''m Mike." "Someone you know?" "Yeah they ki-" "Killed no one, cause me and Steve are too good for them, heh." "Alright, just let me know if more of those fellows come at ye." After some hours of cleaning up, we took a bath. I''m going to go sleep, too much stuff happened.
